“National survey data from the Association of Art Museum Directors and the PMA's own financial disclosure forms reveal some enlightening facts about pay at the PMA. While executive positions are compensated at rates close to 50% more than the executive positions at other art museums, unionized staff make on average about 30% less than staff doing comparable jobs at other museums. 50% higher vs. 30% lower. On top of that, most PMA workers haven't received a raise in more than 3 years. Nevertheless, management continues to reject reasonable pay proposals that would help to correct these imbalances.”
The employees at the PMA are striking for improved wages and health care benefits and yet the management at the PMA refuses to meet with the Union to negotiate for fair contract. These are the employees that greet visitors, care for the collections and educate the public, these are vital positions and they deserve to be treated fairly and compensated for their time and effort.  Please stand in solidarity with the staff and write to the PMA  demanding change!
You can also support the PMA Union here.

Eun Hae “Esther” Yoo → Arden Cho → Siberian Tiger
→ Basic Information
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight  
 Born or Made: Born 
 Birthday: February 2
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
Religion: Animism
→ Her Personality Esther can come off as annoying or feisty at first, but people always seem to warm up to her as she wiggles her way into their hearts. She has no problem flirting with people, but she doesn’t risk falling in love, not wanting to risk losing them. She is highly intelligent and finds it easy to learn new skills. That is mostly tied to her incredibly curious nature. Overall, she is good with people, especially teens and young adults.
Esther can put on a brave face but if you look closely enough, you’ll see the cracks. She is rather confident with herself and has little to no insecurities. She is full of passion and is a bit dramatic at times but she truly means well. She is fun loving, open and immensely generous with everyone around her. She enjoys taking the younger students under her wings. She has dedicated herself to learning every musical instrument over her teenage and young adult years. Her love for music was forced upon her at a young age to keep her anxious hands busy, but luckily for her, she fell in love with it. Esther became one of Illinois’s finest but never pursued a music career besides teaching others with the love for music or in need of a hobby.
→ Her Personal Facts
Occupation: Music Teacher 
Scars: None
Tattoos: None
Two Likes: Nature and 90’s Music
Two Dislikes: Starbucks and Limitations
Two Fears: Claustrophobia and Entrapment
Two Hobbies: Extreme Sports and Astrology
Three Positive Traits: Imaginative, Approachable, Free-Spirit
Three Negative Traits: Blunt, Unpredictable, Runs on Emotions
→ His/Her Connections
Parent Names:
Seoyeon Yoo (Mother): Their relationship is the most important relationship in her life. Esther considers Seoyeon more as her best friend.
Toyun Jiho Yoo (Father): Toyun was the sole provider for their family which unfortunately meant he wasn't around as much during Esther's childhood. She and her dad are freshly building a relationship now that he is retired and she is older.
Sibling Names:
Ru Ji ‘Remy’ Yoo (Brother): Remy was born one year after Esther and has been a thorn in her side since. He is the typical annoying and unbearable little brother that she would die for.
Children Names:
None.
Romantic Connections:
Carter Bialar (Past Casual): They may have flirted more than once. And they may have gone on a few casual dates but neither of them knew what to call it. They eventually moved on and agreed to be ‘Just Friends’.
Benjamin Francis Miller (Ex Boyfriend): Esther was excited and happy when Ben showed interest in her. She knew about his past relationship and looked past them. They lasted a few months before Esther called it quits.
Platonic Connections:
Chris Bialar (Alpha): Esther respects Chris as her alpha and is extremely loyal to him. There was some awkwardness when she and Carter attempted their dating, but that is all in the past.
Malia Agyeman (Best Friend): Malia is the Leslie Knope to Esther’s Ann Perkins. Esther is sometimes in awe of her best friend, a passionate activist who is so incredibly loving. She pushes Esther to think of things in a different way, and in turn Esther pulls out her creative side.
Judson Cleirigh (Social Friend): Esther is glad she had the opportunity to make friends with a Warlock. She doesn’t care what others think about her enjoying some of her free time with other supernatural creatures.
Farrah Al-Abbasi (Childhood Best Friend): They played in CYSO together, and spent nearly every day together from the ages of 9-18. Farrah moved to Boston to be the harpist in the Boston Symphony Orchestra, but they facetime at least 3 times a week.
Gretchen Sims (New Bandmate): Gretchen has recently reached out to Esther after an open mic night, about starting a casual band.
Rebecka Blake (New Friend): Rebecka quietly entered her classroom and sat down and listened to her play one day. It took Esther a few minutes to realize that she had an audience but she finished the piece. It choked Esther up a bit, but that formed the bond between them. She’s really happy Rebecka came.
Hostile Connections:
Ben Nile (Ex): She’s learned to never date a musician, especially one that is as into the music scene she is. While they don’t hate each other, they still haven’t had time to heal from their relationship and it’s awkward.
Catalina Debenek (Former rival): When Esther played in the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra, she and Catalina had an intense rivalry for viola First Chair. A few years ago they got drunk and reconnected, but they certainly aren’t friends.
Pets:
The Minions (Sand Ant Farm): Esther keeps it in the back of her classroom. It was left by the previous professor and she couldn’t bring herself to throw it away.
→ History Eun Hae “Esther” Yoo was born into a long line of cat shifters. Her line can be traced back to some of the first Korean Chicago settlers in the 1800’s. Her ancestors and parents never forgot their heritage, therefore, Esther grew up speaking multiple languages and celebrating three cultures; American, Korean, and Animism. By the time Esther was born, her father was advisor to the Alpha, which was passed down from generation to generation. Being raised in a family of shifter cats was not always easy for Esther or her little brother, Remy, considering they wanted a ‘normal’ life but the supernatural life was the only life they ever knew.
They each achieved their normal in some ways though. Remy became incredibly skilled in swimming and Taekwondo, competing with other kids in the city and even almost making it to the Olympics. Esther got her shot at normal through the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra. She mainly played the viola and worked vigorously with the other kids in that group. Being in CYSO was the most influential experience in Esther’s life. It gave her friends in music, exposed her to so many different people and cultures, and gave her a love of teaching. She used to spend time not at practice, watching her instructors teach the younger kids. It was there that she decided she’d never play professionally, but that she’d teach the future generations. When she told Farrah and then the rest of her friends, they were confused, but supportive. She went to Northwestern Beinen School of Music for music education and continued to play in the Northwestern symphony orchestra while there.
→ The Present Esther finished school and began working as a music teacher to middle school students. She enjoys her job and the students that take her class seriously. Esther gives private and group lessons to supernatural creatures only. She believes there are enough human musicians and would rather focus on those who cannot hire humans at risk of being exposed. Her free time is spontaneous as her daily activities. One day she could be out at local bars with some of her supernatural friends or out playing sports with the locals, and the next she could be out shopping with the girls and other days she is at home helping cook random dishes. Although, most of all she enjoys teasing and pranking her little brother as he trains with their father and Chris to become the next pack advisor. She knows he’ll do a magnificent job but considers it payback for his teasing and pranking when she first started working at the school.
Recently Esther has started playing with other musicians again. Gretchen Sims saw her perform at a local open mic night and asked her to start a band with her. They’re still in the process of auditioning others and writing music, but the biggest problem seems to be Ben hanging around with the other hyenas. Gretchen suggested adding him a few times, but Esther wants more space than that.

Eun Hae “Esther” Yoo → Arden Cho → Siberian Tiger
→ Basic Information
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight  
Born or Made: Born
Birthday: February 2
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
Religion: Animism
→ Her Personality Esther can come off as annoying or feisty at first, but people always seem to warm up to her as she wiggles her way into their hearts. She has no problem flirting with people, but she doesn’t risk falling in love, not wanting to risk losing them. She is highly intelligent and finds it easy to learn new skills. That is mostly tied to her incredibly curious nature. Overall, she is good with people, especially teens and young adults.
Esther can put on a brave face but if you look closely enough, you’ll see the cracks. She is rather confident with herself and has little to no insecurities. She is full of passion and is a bit dramatic at times but she truly means well. She is fun loving, open and immensely generous with everyone around her. She enjoys taking the younger students under her wings. She has dedicated herself to learning every musical instrument over her teenage and young adult years. Her love for music was forced upon her at a young age to keep her anxious hands busy, but luckily for her, she fell in love with it. Esther became one of Illinois’s finest but never pursued a music career besides teaching others with the love for music or in need of a hobby.
→ Her Personal Facts
Occupation: Music Teacher
Scars: None
Tattoos: None
Two Likes: Nature and 90’s Music
Two Dislikes: Starbucks and Limitations
Two Fears: Claustrophobia and Entrapment
Two Hobbies: Extreme Sports and Astrology
Three Positive Traits: Imaginative, Approachable, Free-Spirit
Three Negative Traits: Blunt, Unpredictable, Runs on Emotions
→ His/Her Connections
Parent Names:
Seoyeon Yoo (Mother): Their relationship is the most important relationship in her life. Esther considers Seoyeon more as her best friend.
Toyun Jiho Yoo (Father): Toyun was the sole provider for their family which unfortunately meant he wasn’t around as much during Esther’s childhood. She and her dad are freshly building a relationship now that he is retired and she is older.
Sibling Names:
Ru Ji ‘Remy’ Yoo (Brother): Remy was born one year after Esther and has been a thorn in her side since. He is the typical annoying and unbearable little brother that she would die for.
Children Names:
None.
Romantic Connections:
Carter Bialar (Past Casual): They may have flirted more than once. And they may have gone on a few casual dates but neither of them knew what to call it. They eventually moved on and agreed to be ‘Just Friends’.
Benjamin Francis Miller (Ex Boyfriend): Esther was excited and happy when Ben showed interest in her. She knew about his past relationship and looked past them. They lasted a few months before Esther called it quits.
Platonic Connections:
Chris Bialar (Alpha): Esther respects Chris as her alpha and is extremely loyal to him. There was some awkwardness when she and Carter attempted their dating, but that is all in the past.
Malia Agyeman (Best Friend): Malia is the Leslie Knope to Esther’s Ann Perkins. Esther is sometimes in awe of her best friend, a passionate activist who is so incredibly loving. She pushes Esther to think of things in a different way, and in turn Esther pulls out her creative side.
Judson Cleirigh (Social Friend): Esther is glad she had the opportunity to make friends with a Warlock. She doesn’t care what others think about her enjoying some of her free time with other supernatural creatures.
Farrah Al-Abbasi (Childhood Best Friend): They played in CYSO together, and spent nearly every day together from the ages of 9-18. Farrah moved to Boston to be the harpist in the Boston Symphony Orchestra, but they facetime at least 3 times a week.
Gretchen Sims (New Bandmate): Gretchen has recently reached out to Esther after an open mic night, about starting a casual band.
Rebecka Blake (New Friend): Rebecka quietly entered her classroom and sat down and listened to her play one day. It took Esther a few minutes to realize that she had an audience but she finished the piece. It choked Esther up a bit, but that formed the bond between them. She’s really happy Rebecka came.
Hostile Connections:
Ben Nile (Ex): She’s learned to never date a musician, especially one that is as into the music scene she is. While they don’t hate each other, they still haven’t had time to heal from their relationship and it’s awkward.
Catalina Debenek (Former rival): When Esther played in the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra, she and Catalina had an intense rivalry for viola First Chair. A few years ago they got drunk and reconnected, but they certainly aren’t friends.
Pets:
The Minions (Sand Ant Farm): Esther keeps it in the back of her classroom. It was left by the previous professor and she couldn’t bring herself to throw it away.
→ History Eun Hae “Esther” Yoo was born into a long line of cat shifters. Her line can be traced back to some of the first Korean Chicago settlers in the 1800’s. Her ancestors and parents never forgot their heritage, therefore, Esther grew up speaking multiple languages and celebrating three cultures; American, Korean, and Animism. By the time Esther was born, her father was advisor to the Alpha, which was passed down from generation to generation. Being raised in a family of shifter cats was not always easy for Esther or her little brother, Remy, considering they wanted a ‘normal’ life but the supernatural life was the only life they ever knew.
They each achieved their normal in some ways though. Remy became incredibly skilled in swimming and Taekwondo, competing with other kids in the city and even almost making it to the Olympics. Esther got her shot at normal through the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra. She mainly played the viola and worked vigorously with the other kids in that group. Being in CYSO was the most influential experience in Esther’s life. It gave her friends in music, exposed her to so many different people and cultures, and gave her a love of teaching. She used to spend time not at practice, watching her instructors teach the younger kids. It was there that she decided she’d never play professionally, but that she’d teach the future generations. When she told Farrah and then the rest of her friends, they were confused, but supportive. She went to Northwestern Beinen School of Music for music education and continued to play in the Northwestern symphony orchestra while there.
→ The Present Esther finished school and began working as a music teacher to middle school students. She enjoys her job and the students that take her class seriously. Esther gives private and group lessons to supernatural creatures only. She believes there are enough human musicians and would rather focus on those who cannot hire humans at risk of being exposed. Her free time is spontaneous as her daily activities. One day she could be out at local bars with some of her supernatural friends or out playing sports with the locals, and the next she could be out shopping with the girls and other days she is at home helping cook random dishes. Although, most of all she enjoys teasing and pranking her little brother as he trains with their father and Chris to become the next pack advisor. She knows he’ll do a magnificent job but considers it payback for his teasing and pranking when she first started working at the school.
Recently Esther has started playing with other musicians again. Gretchen Sims saw her perform at a local open mic night and asked her to start a band with her. They’re still in the process of auditioning others and writing music, but the biggest problem seems to be Ben hanging around with the other hyenas. Gretchen suggested adding him a few times, but Esther wants more space than that.

New Post has been published on Cinephiled
New Post has been published on http://www.cinephiled.com/interview-costume-designer-amy-roth-follows-familys-footsteps-motherless-brooklyn/
Interview: Costume Designer Amy Roth Follows in Her Family's Footsteps in ‘Motherless Brooklyn’
Set against the backdrop of 1950s New York, Motherless Brooklyn follows Lionel Essrog (Edward Norton), a lonely private detective living with Tourette Syndrome, as he ventures to solve the murder of his mentor and only friend, Frank Minna (Bruce Willis). Armed only with a few clues and the engine of his obsessive mind, Lionel unravels closely guarded secrets that hold the fate of the whole city in the balance. In a mystery that carries him from gin-soaked jazz clubs in Harlem to the hard-edged slums of Brooklyn, and finally into the gilded halls of New York’s power brokers, Lionel contends with thugs, corruption, and the most dangerous man in the city to honor his friend and save the woman who might be his own salvation. Motherless Brooklyn also stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Alec Baldwin, Cherry Jones, Willem Dafoe, and Bobby Cannavale.
Talented costume designer Amy Roth (The Looming Tower, Indignation), the niece of Oscar-winning costume designer Ann Roth, based many of her stunning creations for this film on unsentimental photographs from the period including the work of Saul Leiter, Dorothea Lange, and Robert Frank. Working closely with writer/director Edward Norton, Roth stayed away from glossy depictions of the 1950s and instead examined the gulfs between New York’s rich and powerful and the very people they displaced. Sometimes she literally worked with scraps of vintage clothing to showcase how voiceless and neglected some of these characters were.
Danny Miller: I so love your work on this film. I imagine that Edward Norton is the kind of director who gets involved in every detail of his film. Do you remember your first meeting with him?
Amy Roth: Edward’s script really spoke to me, and I did a ton of research on my own before we met. I did a “look book” for him and we just hit it off immediately. He looked at it and said, “That’s my movie!” It was a funny interview because he started moving around in his chair and got very excited. We basically decided to work together then and there which is not usually how it happens. Edward started asking me about the color palette. I told him I thought it should be sort of muted to contrast against the very colorful language and all of these spectacular actors.
Do you think Norton’s own experience as an actor colors his role as director?
He has so much respect for actors. He never wanted to be intrusive at the fittings and always wanted to actors to be happy with what they were wearing and to find the character on their own. He certainly had ideas about how some of the characters should look, but then he’d always say, “You should just talk to them and see what they like.”
It always seems like costume designers have more of an intimacy with the actors than almost anyone else on set. Did the actors on this film have a lot of opinions about their wardrobes?
Yes, but they’re all very different. I remember how wonderful Fisher Stevens was on this film, he’s so creative and he started to get very excited with a lot of ideas. “Oh, I love this, can I wear this, too?” He just went through everything and tried on a lot of things. Cherry Jones was the same way. Gugu was more methodical, really looking at herself and questioning. She wanted to make sure she didn’t look like she was above the fray.
Oh, so interesting because I had the impression that her character in the film would wake up in the morning and be very deliberate about everything she puts on and the image that she’s conveying to the world.
Precisely!
Do you use a lot of vintage pieces for a film like this or do you create everything from scratch?
A little bit of both. A lot of the great vintage stuff is disappearing, sadly. You end up building a lot of clothes using some older pieces. But I love to make the clothes. I made all of Gugu’s clothes and most of the suits for the lead actors. Remember that we often needed multiple copies of each outfit because there were stunts involved, so that also affects how many vintage pieces you can use.
I loved that coat that Gugu wore in the film.
Oh my God, that was one of my favorite pieces in the film! I made that for her based on a vintage coat I had seen. I actually found this vintage fabric from the period, it was quintessential 1950s. I had it slightly dyed which scared me to death. They wanted two, and I said too bad because I really wanted the coat and we didn’t have enough material.
We know that Alec Baldwin and Cherry Jones’ characters were based on real people from that time period. Did you study photographs of them to create their costumes?
I did look at those photos a lot and read a lot about Robert Moses because he was so fascinating to me. I understood that this is not a guy who’s very refined. He grew up with money but I saw him as a guy who had his suits made without a lot of thought. He just went to the tailors on Seventh Avenue and didn’t think much about it. His tailor probably chose the fabric and cut of the suits. So I didn’t want to dress Alec in a manner that made him look like he understood the beauty of what he was wearing.
Kind of like Donald Trump who has all these resources and wants expensive things, but has no real understanding of style.
Exactly. With everything monogrammed because he likes seeing his name so much.
Which seems so different from Willem Dafoe’s character who is down on his luck but still understands and appreciates quality.
Yes. With him I knew that he once had money in his life and he would probably hold onto some of the finest things from his past. For him I did find a vintage suit because I thought I’d never be able to create that kind of patina on a suit. So I got him a very beautiful suit from the 1940s. I used a shirt that was threadbare. Nothing was from the 50s, the tie, the hat, the coat.
Yeah, I had a feeling that no matter how poor he was at the moment, he appreciated the finer things much more than Alec Baldwin’s character did.
I remember thinking of those amazing Dorothea Lange photos of people standing in bread lines in the 1930s. You see all these men who are thin and hungry but they are wearing these beautiful, elegant suits.
I also loved the look of Leslie Mann’s character even though she has a small role in the film (as Bruce Willis’s wife). I wanted her to come back later in the story!
I know! Our producer kept saying he wanted to tell her story in the next movie! Leslie came in for just a couple of days. I wanted to ground her in the reality of what this woman would have worn. The only thing I changed was that I put her in lingerie the night her husband died. Edward loved that. We talked about how she probably thought she’d be seeing Bobby Cannavale’s character that night so when she opens the door she thinks it’s Bobby.
Wow, so there’s an example of how a costume choice that you make can influence an actor’s performance and the back story of the character. Her character almost feels like she’s driven in from a different film, possibly one directed by Douglas Sirk! I love the stories of Walter Plunkett torturing actresses on Gone With the Wind by making them wear real corsets and other period garments under their clothes. What’s your take on that?
Oh, I do the whole thing. I have women wear girdles and other things that I could never wear if my life depended on it. But they love it, and it can help the performance because it sort of dictates the way you’re going to stand and sit and walk. And sometimes I’ll veer from that on purpose. We had two white girls in the jazz club scene and I made up this story in my head that they were from Barnard and they’re not wearing their girdles. They’re just going out in their skirts and sweaters and they’re not going to put on a girdle to go listen to jazz.
I wanted to mention that your incredibly talented aunt, Ann Roth, did the costumes for two of my father-in-law Oliver Hailey’s plays on Broadway. Did you grow up learning the trade from her?
Oh, wow, I just left Ann, we’ve been doing some interviews together, I will tell her that! She’s just amazing. She started out in theater at Carnegie-Mellon and was painting scenery at the Pittsburg Opera. But then she met costume designer Irene Sharaff who told her that the boys will never let her get anywhere if she keeps working on scenery and that she should move to costumes! So she started working for Irene, including in the movies, but she’s continued in the theater as well all these years.
Did you start out in the theater, too?  
I haven’t but I would love to do some. I’m actually going on Monday to see the new To Kill a Mockingbird stage production that my aunt did the costumes for. My cousin, her daughter Hannah, and I are almost the same page. So when Ann would do a film on location, she’d always bring us and let us help. She was so generous, she just took me everywhere. I got to see so many things I never would have otherwise.
