Classes cancelled for the rest of the week, so I took a train home this morning back to RI for a couple of days.
Sometimes things get confusing, and I feel like I need to get away. It's always been hard for me to feel like I'm stuck in one place. Physically, mentally, spiritually... just stagnant. It's fortunate when you have a place to go to help break out of that pattern, and comforting to be around people who know you like the back of their hand. It's nice to be heard. To just sit back, say absolutely nothing, and still be heard just fine. I'm fortunate to have that... at least with some people on this earth.
Well in other news, I'm done with House of Cards and I just don't know what I'll watch now. Any suggestions?
~ I did a photo shoot at a singer's gig at a piano bar last month... I thought this picture of the piano turned out really cool looking!
~ My Songwriting Workshop!!! I've been running some workshops through Noise Collective, where artists come and play their songs for the group, and get critiqued on them. I’m really proud of the way these are going, and I’ve been meeting so many new and awesome artists. In April, we have a plan to launch two new workshops, and run them all in the same day!! So excited.
We shot these over the weekend, when it was beautiful enough out to only need a light jacket.
These pictures do this dress NO justice. Maybe it's the red brick that's washing out the green, and blowing out the details. But it's made of this beautiful mint, really ornate lace. Also... I don't know if you noticed (haha) but it is SHORT, so it's a good thing short skirts are my jam. I feel like a mod-girl, and it makes me wanna go-go dance all across my apartment.
So how was your weekend? Mine was pretty lazy. Though I'm pumped to have had my first iced coffee in over four months!!! I know you're probably all "what's the big deal about that??" But... I really, really love iced coffee :P Also caught up on some shows... my favorites right now are House of Cards and True Detective. Both are amazing, and True Detective has the added benefit of being visually stunning.
It's supposed to be cold and snowy again soon, but I'm soaking up this milder weather while it lasts.
Day late and a dollar short ;) Time for my weekly style post..
Guess I unintentionally went for a monochrome look here. Perhaps to blend in with my surroundings, and survive in my habitat better. Much like a bunny whose brown coat turns white in the winter ... Metaphors. Psychology. WOAH.
Okay, clearly I'm in a weird mood, so I'll just leave you to enjoy the rest of these pictures. But first answer me THIS: Why is this white lace dress so perfect? Why does it make me feel so much like a movie queen?
I don't normally make two posts in one day, but I just wanted a reason to post this picture. I took it when we were at a Junior's Cheescake right after New Year's. I remember being surprised that they had whipped out the decorations already. The themed decorations seem to happen earlier and earlier every year, don't they?
Soo... I'm a fruity, girly drink lover.. Yup. Despite my vast coolness in other areas of my life, I'm just not cool in this particular area. I'll just never be a whiskey-swillin', beer-worshippin' good-time-gal. Of course I'll drink beer or whiskey... but if I had a choice, I'd rather plunk down money for a drink that tastes good and looks pretty, thankyouverymuch.
But why should "girl drinks" be considered uncool anyway? Isn't that a bit sexist? Whatever. I'm here reclaiming the term here today, and they're totes cool, and you can pry the pineapple-laden margarita glass from my cold, dead hands.
The amount of vodka you put into it is alterable, and up to your preferences. I realize the ratio isn't that big in my version, but see... I favored the deliciousness of the drink over the alcoholic content. So although I did want a little zing, I didn't want the zing to be messin' with my delicious chocolatey, creamy flavors.
For the martini glass rim, I just crushed some cookies in a ziplock bag, wet the rim of the glass with Kahlua, and dipped the rim in the crushed cookies. I used Keebler Grasshoppers, but I do prefer original thin mints.
