I'LL BE BACK, I SWEAR

oh man, i have been one bad blogger these past few weeks. i'm in the middle of night rehearsals and my mind is so fuzzy and tired, i can hardly keep it together. enough complaining, though! i'm doing what i love and i love that! did you all have a good valentines day? i threw a suprise party for my cast. we ate their favorite ice cream, opened valentines and had a movie watching party (have you guys seen CAMP? it's the best!)  ooo what else?! our 80s prom went off without a hitch! for those of you who couldn't make it - check out the adorable behind the scenes video our videographer put together! what a fun night! 


p.s. somehow my photoshop isn't working (quel horror!) so i'm going to focus on getting that fixed this week so i can come back to blogland with some fresh new posts! till then, thanks for your patience! xo

GIVEAWAY: PARIS MY SWEET

I'm really excited about today's giveaway! Amy Thomas is a writer and francophile from New York City with a highly refined palate for sweets. She recently worked in Paris writing ad copy for a little company called Louis Vuitton. Amy and I have been communicating over the interweb for a while now, and I was thrilled when she asked me to giveaway a new copy of her book, Paris, My Sweet: A Year in the City of Light (and Dark Chocolate). Amy's book chronicles a sweet freak's journey working in Paris on the Champs-Élysées, exploring patisseries and boulangeries and marveling at the City of Lights. To win a copy of Paris, My Sweet, please leave a comment below with who you'd like to give this book to. A winner will be chosen this Friday. Best of luck, mes amies!

MUSIC MONDAY: WE FOUND LOVE IN A HOPELESS PLACE

Watching two people fall in love via a drug soaked frenzy is straight-up-seductive. I saw this video for Rihanna's latest jam, We found love in a hopeless place, and was speechless; who knew Rihanna could be so effing cool? My initial thoughts were: I need those Christmas lights  in her bedroom. Where does one procure that denim romper? And does Rihanna actually wake up in the morning with her hair looking that good? The video was directed by the effervescently cool Melina Matsoukas who has also shot videos for Lily Allen, Beyonce and Lady Gaga to name a few. No big deal. No big deal at all. It's on my bucket list for 2012 to direct my first music video and you bettah believe I'll be starting my online inspiration board with this puppy. ENJOY!
