Little Missy Writes an Open Letter to Mark Zuckerberg

Stream it and maybe they'll believe it

First, from CNN:

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is expressing condolences to the Facebook user who live-streamed the aftermath of a fatal police shooting on Wednesday.

With a post on his personal Facebook page, he is also highlighting the potential power of the company's relatively new live-streaming function.

"Yesterday, a Minnesota woman named Diamond Reynolds went live on Facebook immediately after her fiancé, Philando Castile, had been shot by police in his car. Philando later died from his wounds. In the video, Diamond's 4-year-old daughter is watching from the back seat," Zuckerberg wrote Thursday evening.

"My heart goes out to the Castile family and all the other families who have experienced this kind of tragedy," he wrote. "My thoughts are also with all members of the Facebook community who are deeply troubled by these events."

Dear Mark

On August 23, 2013 in Little Missy Chronicles, I put forth the nomination of "Mark Zuckerberg" for the Nobel Peace Prize.  It is my opinion that you and Facebook have done more for Democracy in the past decade than anyone since the Allied Troops defeated the Axis. Facebook is a force unlike none other in our time.  It is a global form of communication with more than a billion users and it has given its users the power to change their lives and our world---for better or for worse.  I believe in what my dear friend and Nobel Economist Amartya Sen has always said--that without the freedom of the press, there can be no democracy.  You and Facebook have given that freedom to every single one of your users and I thank you, Mark.  Someone was going to do it and it was you and you deserve the Nobel Prize for this achievement.  You also state you want to get Internet into the 70% of the world that has none---that this is your chief goal.  And I applaud you, Mark.  That is the single most important goal in maintaining democracy.

Now Mark, nobody's perfect, least of all Little Missy, and I have seen the inner chamber of Facebook and I am afraid the "members of the Facebook community" look young (under 25) white and Asian and that there are more men than women.  You and your wife have been beyond generous in funding a new wing for San Francisco General Hospital among other gifts.  Why not work on the culture of Facebook so that it is more inclusive?  If anyone can do it, you can.  You have more influence now than anyone I can think of.  In fact, your influence is staggering!  You, the kid in the Palo Alto Mexican restaurant who was just hanging out with your colleagues after you started the Arab Spring! OMG Mark, do more than say you are sorry for the fatal police shooting.  You have so much power, it's unbelievable!  Change the culture of Facebook and you will change the world.  We aren't stupid as you know, Mark!  We will understand your subtle and not so subtle nuances!

Looking forward to the changes

and so is Baby Max!

Yours as always,

Little Missy

It's An Aztec Summer! 

Chic Chic Chic!

Summer Royalty!  Our Babies Are Growing Up!

Have an Azec Summer!

Brian Atwood Spring Summer 2016

The Aztecs flourished in what is now Mexico in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries

Aztec Patterns are hot again!  Some would say they never went out!  When Little Missy was a young teenager, they were in vogue big time!  Elizabeth Taylor wore Aztec print caftans in 1964 while her man, Richard Burton was filming The Night of The Iguana in Puerto Vallarta.  Needless to say, that sleepy little Mexican Pacific outpost was never the same!

Here it is in black and white for you Urban Hipsters!  But really, the Aztecs would never have done it this way and you shouldn't either!  So boring!

Well, now that we have taken care of the trend of the Summer of 2016, let's talk about the Royals!

It would be Princess Diana's 55th birthday today!  What better way to honor her than to post a photograph of how beautifully her kids have turned out!

Wow, they really grew up fast!  William shows real gravitas and is Kate wearing an Aztec inspired print coat?  And doesn't Harry look like just say PARTY and he's there????

My son Michael, right now, at Wimbledon with his friend Christian

And last but def not least, my gorgeous Prince of a son Michael (in the striped shirt) is at Wimbledon right now!  Little Missy is but human, that is to say a proud mother!  Rock those Aztec prints and happy July!

Love Little Missy
