TWENTY-TWO
MADISON KATHLEEN COOPER
Finding my way in this world and at the same time the world is helping me find myself. With a cup of coffee in one hand and my iPhone in the other, I am determined to take over the world, to fill it with wonder and joy, and be able to share it with the greatest, most creative people I know. Life's a journey, and I welcome you to join me on mine.

A BRILLIANT MENU
The flavors that make up who I am, where I come from and why I create.
[WHO I AM]
COCKTAILS
PROSECCO
light, bubbly and sweet. A refreshing wine with a little bit of culture and maturity, with a fun, inviting, playful feel. _______ SPICY GRAPEFRUIT MARGARITA tart with a kick, a play on a traditional flavor you find yourself craving. The sassy and fun drink that brings you a fun adventure or a fiesta night out. _______ FOUR ROSES SINGLE BARREL, NEAT this classy and reliable pour is there when you need it. It's one of the better tasting bourbons, but still not the best. It tries though. Shoot it or sip it, she's strong and independently delicious. |
[WHERE I'M FROM]
ENTREES
GOETTA HASH
Goetta is so traditionally Cincinnati. Most people don't even know what it is, but real Cincinnatians can't goetta 'nough. Because we're not huge morning people here, this meal is perfect: fresh enough for late morning, hearty enough for early afternoon. _______ SURF 'N TURF The map might say Cincinnati, but my heart undoubtedly screams "somewhere by the sea". I love the water, the chance for adventure, the fresh tastes and the crisp breezes. _______ COOPER'S SPECIAL Fish and Chips, an English dish with an Irish twist (because Chips are potatoes, and potatoes are Irish, right?) with a side-serving of Swedish Fish. I've never really favored any one side of my heritage but I've always believed that the past is an incredible reference for knowing your present and directing your future. |
[WHY I CREATE]
DESSERT
PEANUT BUTTER CUP FUDGE RIPPLE CHEESECAKE
It's not your average or expected dessert choice but it's deliciously rich and transports you to a very sweet world. I'm a girl with a major sweet tooth but I don't fall as easily for your typical flavors. For me, creating is just like that. It's enchanting and wonder-filled, special and exciting. It has a crunch, a little something different, and it might not please everybody, but it makes an impact on someone's world. And all you need is that one. One bite. One person. One changed life. |
DELICIOUSLY CURATED EVENTS
Whether it's planning or attending, I have a sweet tooth for creatively curated events. There is something so special about being transported into a different world, via theme or menu or exquisite hosting and getting to share it with close companions or strangers who could become candid friends.

PHOTOGRAPHY + VIDEO
THROUGH THE LENS
My journey behind the camera started in high school. I dreamed of being a broadcast journalist. Since then, what brought so much joy to me about being behind a camera has matured, as has my aesthetic. I pick up a camera, not because I have the best vision or the strongest eye, but because I like how the freedom to see the world in my own perspective and the opportunity to create or value my own beauty makes me feel. I feel magical and jubilant energy shoot through my veins every time I sit down to edit a video. Because not everything is about being the best, sometimes it's just about feeling the best. And that's why I like to see the world through a lens.
CATERING TO MY THOUGHTS
I used to be a writer. I have since scaled back a bit but time and again I find that my thoughts are craving to be let go and put on paper. My blog has no rhyme or reason, chronological order or level of importance, it just captures the neon-colored party inside my brain, the way I like it.
