Additional Information

“Stronger Together” was the 2016 United States presidential campaign slogan of candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton and vice-presidential running mate Tim Kaine.

Clinton was selected as the Democratic party’s nominee following a contentious party primary, in which Clinton competed mainly with fellow Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders. The nomination was in a way momentous: while several women have run for US presidential office, Clinton is the first and only woman to have won a major-party nomination.

In the general election, Clinton lost the electoral vote—and the election—by a slim margin to Republican nominee Donald Trump. While National Public Radio wrote that the “Stronger Together” slogan was “boring” and “rhetorical oatmeal,” it was also persistent. The phrase was later used verbatim by Clinton’s former adversary in his own presidential communication.

The Yummyfun Kooking Series was a 2008 cooking show for kids hosted by Clare Crespo, or "Yummy Clare," with her entourage of both puppet and human co-stars. Most notably, John C. Reilly played a recurring role as Yummy Clare's neighbor, a sea captain. Along with three full length episodes and 13 mini-episodes of the series, viewers could sign their kids up for the Yummyfun Kooking Club which included cooking supplies, recipes, and a letter from Yummy Clare in the mail every month. In 2013, Crespo's Yummyfun promotions dwindled and she shifted her focus over to physical art mediums such as pottery and illustration. In 1993, well before the beginning of Yummfun, Crespo played bass for indie musician Beck on some of his early, unreleased work.

During World War II, U.S. soldiers experienced extreme hardship, physically and emotionally, resulting in desired moments of joy and distraction. The catchphrase, "Go Fly a Kite," first emerged in the 1940s to deter any unwelcome presence for those who wanted to be alone. These patriotic checkered buttons were produced to lighten the moods throughout the war. The collection's color scheme and checkerboard style were a way to express gratitude, yet it consisted of borderline-risque catchphrases and humorous taglines, providing light-hearted amusement for those who wore these pins.
