Wild Heart

Sometimes someone is just put into this world to do a very particular thing. When I watch this video of Stevie caught singing backstage....it makes me think she's one of those people. Goosebumps.

Raise High the Roof Beam

It's roof chillin' weather. FINALLY. (Just kidding, this winter has been frighteningly short, still.....I'm not complaining). This mild weather reminds me of St. Augustine FL. Every morning when I emerge from my building I'm so nostalgic I spend the entire time in the Starbucks drive through day dreaming of our next trip there, and who we can take with us. It's about time for a camping trip as well!

 I did FINALLY get a chance to go shopping (finally is appropriate there.....I did not go shopping once through most of Autumn and all of winter). Jonathan and I ever so often purge our closet and go to Buffalo Exchange to sell and reap the benefits. And chat up the cute girls and boys at the buying counter about life, culture, tacos, and how it was BULLSHIT Gary Oldman didn't win the Oscar.

Yesterday's benefits: Threads from Urban Outfitters. 

I got a nifty light weight high-low sweater on sale along with some denim and a few other needs. 

Skirt: F21, Sweater: UO, Shoes and Necklace: Nordstrom, Prada Knockoffs Glasses: Dolly Python

The glass pictured is my favorite. We found it at a thrift store and it says: "Wren"and has an illustration of a Wren on it! And yes, that's wine... and yes, it was 4:00pm. I really didn't come to the roof to give a care, so there. That's our view of the sky line. I don't mind it one bit. 

Happy 1st of the month! It's gonna be exciting. Spring! SXSW! Camping! 

SPRRRRIIIIINNNNG BREEEEEAAAAAK!

Magical Realism

We were honored to attend another opening night at The Undermain Theater. They've been working on a piece by Len Jenkin called Time In Kafka, and since I saw Port Twilight I've been dying to see more of his work on stage. It is most definitely a wild ride. The "story lines" in what I've seen of his work so far, seem to be backdrops for the eccentric characters and their poetic, oddly sad and simultaneously hilarious dialogue and monologues. It really can't go without mentioning that in both plays there are sporadic dance numbers made up of moves you would most likely perform in your kitchen when you're all alone (as Jessica, one of the actresses eloquently put it) which I'm a reeeal big fan of. 

HEALING DANCE #47!!!

Commence with The Mash Potato!

And The Twist!

And The Monkey!

Also, the sets there are always beautiful. (cough* John Arnone)

(Here is Kent Williams. In Port Twilight his character would periodically wander around stage cranking that creepy *read:badass music box, and the little monkey passed out fortunes to the audience).

Mr. Jenkin's plays have a magical realism type of vibe where wild things happen in what may or may not be real places in the future or past...Also, me and Jonathan were lucky enough to chat with Mr. Jenkin and found out he paints too! His paintings mimic his plays. Lots of characters and colors with only a bit of a linear story line. 

I really like his stuff, and am thankful to Kat and Bruce at The Undermain for introducing me.

(And also for the free cheese that happens on opening night).

And so I felt inspired to wear patterns and bright colors.
