I am OBSESSED with post secret......art and confession all in one place.
I am obsessed too, its the first thing I do every Sunday. And if I'm up past midnight on a Saturday, I check to see if he's posted them early (he has a few times too). I love the site, been reading it for years now. I've sent in a few postcards, two of which were posted on the site....its a very empowering feeling to see your secret out there for the whole world to see. Scary and liberating all at the same time.
For anyone who has a
MySpace, Frank posts extra secrets on the PostSecret page there too.
And I HAVE to share this. Its a marriage proposal that took place at one of the exhibits. From
Frank's blog on MySpace:
Quote:
My wife and I were recently invited to a Wedding to be held at the American Visionary Art Museum. We don't know the couple. They invited us because of the groom's creative marriage proposal at the PostSecret exhibit and we can't wait to attend.
Here is their romantic story as told to me by Rebecca Hoffberger, the founder of the AVAM.
For people who don't know, most of the secrets are displayed along the side of a circular staircase that gradually rises to the third floor of the museum. As the couple slowly ascended the stairs she read every PostSecret postcard. He knew she would because it had been her idea to attend the exhibit.
What she did not know was that earlier he had made a special arrangement with me to replace the last post card with a special one he had created just for her see.
When they reached the top of the stairs she read the final card, "I don't know if I believe in God, but I believe something Great brought you into my life. If you turn around I'll ask you to marry me. . . "
Rebecca went on to say that when the young woman turned around her future husband was on bended knee with an illuminated ring box holding a 6-carat (!) diamond. She said "yes" with tears and to spontaneous applause from the other visitors who were hoping to witness a happy ending.
