Washington DC's Theatre Production of George Orwell's 1984 at the Altas Theatre

This amazing performance at the gorgeous Altas Theatre was only $10! What a deal for such talented acting! Tightly performed on a simple, yet versatile set. Some scenes are a little harder to take when you're face to face with them, and the option to put the book down isn't there. But it was captivating. With telescreens and thought crime it was as true to the book as one can imagine or hope.

"Richard Avedon (1923–2004), America’s pre-eminent portraitist and fashion photographer, photographed the faces of politics throughout his career. As the country enters the next presidential election season, the Corcoran will bring together Avedon’s political portraits for the first time. Juxtaposing images of elite government, media, and labor officials with counter-cultural activists and ordinary citizens caught up in national debates, this exhibition will explore a five-decade taxonomy of politics and power by one of our best-known artists.

Coco Chanel Movie

Shirley McLaine stars in true story of the fabulous life of Ms. Chanel, one of the most revolutionary artists of all time. Tune in to Lifetime for reruns of this fabulous love and fashion story.

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel (b.1883 - d.1971)

She learned to sew at a Catholics monasary were she spent seven years in her youth. She paved the notion that women should be comfortable, and dress for themselves, not their men and she began with hats! She was the inventor of the Chanel suit, a knee length skirt with boxy jacket, the little black dress (which began as a strapless, backless number!) and was premiered at Playboy’s 3rd edition of the magazine. Coco Chanel revolutionized haute couture fashion by replacing the traditional corseted silhouette with the comfort of simple suits and long, lean dresses. We can also thank her for super soft jersey becoming trendy, and being an icon of the flapper revolution. Karl Lagerfeld is, since 1983, the art director of Chanel. But of course Chanel is most world renowned for it’s Chanel No 5 perfume. Ironic that Chanel became synonymous with elegance, wealth, and elitism, as well as the ultimate sign of French high class when the originator came from an orphanage. Cinderella story at it’s finest. Nice.

Antimatter Poem

Antimatter
Do we even matter
When there's going to be
Anti f-ing matter
What makes you sadder
Than messing with antimatter
Do we even matter
Because you're messing with
Anitmatter
What makes you madder
Than dying from
Anti f-ing matter

End Of The World On My B-Day?

So, couldn't they have picked another day for the world to get swallowed by a black hole? I realize these assholes think that $10 billion dollar piece of shit, the Large Hadron Collider will help understand the origins and evolution of the universe. But it would be nice if they wouldn't big bang up my birthday. I've got some parting to do and I can't do that if I'm being deteriorated by antimatter. MSNBC says it's "designed to probe mysteries ranging from dark matter and missing antimatter to the existence of extra, unseen dimensions in space." Well, I guess we have until October 21st until the first high-energy collisions are planned.....That's nice. I say spend the $10 bills on starving people. But hey, let's create a black hole instead.

It's My Mother F-ing B-day!!!!!!!

My First Modeling Gig!!

MY RUNWAY IDOL @ THE LA FASHION WEEK DEBUT OF THE PUSSYCAT DOLL LINGERIE LINE

"Notorious B.I.G., LL Cool J and Ludacris have all rapped about the week of partying that surrounds Howard University's annual homecoming celebration. Diddy, Jay-Z and Kanye West have performed at the university's free outdoor Yardfest concerts. Venus and Serena Williams took a turn on the catwalk during the annual fashion show a few years ago. Add up all those factors and you have one of the key social events on Washington's calendar -- a cross between the NBA All-Star Game, Urban Beach Week and Mardi Gras." - The Washington Post

Out of 457 people little old me got selected to be in this year's homecoming runway show!!! Howard is a historically black college, and I am the only white girl in the show. Perhaps the first white girl ever to be honored to grace the Howard Univ. stage. So not only will this be my modeling debut, it may be a first for Howard! So if you're going to be in the DC area October 16, come check out the most epic runway show DC has ever seen! Howard doesn't do your proverbial, run of the mill BS college runway shows either. If you want to see a sample of what Howard University can do to a fashion show check the link above. We have practice Mon-Thur 7-9pm until the show, that should tell you how crazy good it's going to be, so stay posted!
