Midwest premiere of a new American Opera is among many season highlights
Learn More about our 09-10 season's operas and artists!
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin—January 21, 2009—Florentine Opera Company General Director William Florescu announced today the upcoming 2009-2010 season: Puccini's melodramatic Tosca, and the Midwest premiere of a new American opera, Elmer Gantry, and Verdi's illustrious and tragic Rigoletto. "The combination of familiar opera favorites and our exciting Midwest premiere make this upcoming season one that can truly be enjoyed by everyone, from first-time operagoers to seasoned opera fans," noted Mr. Florescu.
The season opens in November with Tosca, Puccini's emotional tale of the celebrated soprano, Floria Tosca, who is in love with the handsome painter, Mario Cavaradossi. When Cavaradossi's political activism finds him in the crosshairs of the evil Baron Scarpia, a fierce battle of wills ensues in this famed opera of cruelty and deception. Favorite Florentine guest artists, Cynthia Lawrence (Tosca) and Renzo Zulian (Cavaradossi) return to the stage as the Florentine presents Tosca, November 20, 21 & 22, 2009 at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.
In March, the Florentine stages the Midwest Premiere of Elmer Gantry, a new American opera written by Robert Aldridge and Herschel Garfein. Based on the 1927 novel by Sinclair Lewis (which was also the basis of an Academy Award ® -winning film starring Burt Lancaster and Jean Simmons), Elmer Gantry mixes traditional operatic forms with vibrant gospel hymns and ensembles in an opera that explores the complex and sometimes conflicted role of religion in American life. This quintessential American story of love and corruption follows a fraudulent, womanizing Evangelist, Elmer Gantry, on his rise to power and his fall from grace in early 20th Century rural America. Many of the original world premiere cast will grace the stage in this new production, including William Boggs (conductor) and John Hoomes (director). Presented March 19 & 21, 2010 at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.
The season closes in May with Verdi's notorious tragedy, Rigoletto—a captivating tale of a father's love and devotion, a daughter's unwittingly misplaced infatuation and a Duke's lascivious and reckless ways. Audiences will recognize melody after melody as famed Florentine guest-artists, including Georgia Jarman (Gilda), Luis Ledesma (Rigoletto) and Arturo Chacon Cruz (Duke) are conducted by Joseph Rescigno. Florentine General Director, William Florescu will direct Rigoletto. Presented May 21, 22 & 23, 2010 at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.

MASSENA - The wrath of Old Man Winter will be felt in Northern New York starting Thursday night, according to the National Weather Service in Burlington, Vt.
Meteorologist Kimberly McMahon said the region could expect from 10 to 16 inches of fresh snow by the time the storm is over on Saturday.
Some areas such as the Adirondacks could see up to 18 inches of snow, she said.
Its going to start late Thursday into Thursday night, and were going to get some periods of heavy snowfall on Friday. Things wont really taper off until Saturday morning, she said.
Ms. McMahon said two storms will actually combine into one to provide the significant snowfall to the area.
A northern storm will head eastward and southeastward over the southern Great Lakes, bringing snow into the St. Lawrence Valley early Thursday night, she said.
That storm will interact with another low pressure thats going to basically be moving up the Carolina coast and will combine into one storm, Ms. McMahon said.
Once they combine, she said, they will strengthen greatly, bringing a projected accumulation of more than a foot of snow to the area.
Its looks so far like its going to be fluffy, less dense snow. There will be lots of it, but not heavy snow, she said.
The National Weather Service in Burlington has already issued a Winter Storm Watch that is in effect from Thursday evening through Saturday morning for all of Northern New York, as well as central and northern Vermont.
They say that snow will develop over Northern New York Thursday evening, overspreading the rest of the area by midnight Friday.
They expect moderate to heavy snow will fall at a maximum of 1 to 2 inches per hour, mainly Friday afternoon and evening.
Winds will be from the east at 10 to 15 miles an hour with gusts up to 20 miles per hour, and temperatures will be from around 2 degrees below zero to 12 degrees.
Area roadways will be hazardous, especially during the morning and evening commutes on Friday, they advise, noting that visibility will be less than a mile at times in heavier snow.
A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel.

About this report
Online Communities Part Three: Growing the Community is the third report in a series of four that focus on digital community building. This 17-page guide uncovers how email marketing – the "digital glue" of new media – can be used to grow your community.
The first report in this series, Starting a Community, focused on establishing communities. The second report, Engaging Your Community Across Multiple Platforms, developed on that base and explored ways to engage, grow, and leverage your community.
The third report introduces the use of email marketing to grow and enhance your community. Specifically, the report:
- Dispels the myth that email marketing is dead
- Discusses how email marketing is the digital glue of social media
- Explores ways in which email marketing and social media go together like Batman and Robin to help grow online communities
The author, DJ Waldow, is a marketer, social community manager and frequent blog author who writes from his experience building communities for clients in a variety of industries including retail, travel & tourism, and not-for profit.
Note: Part 4 of the Online Communities series – Leveraging Your Community; Feedback, Support and Sales is coming later in the year, and will dive into ways to take advantage of the online community you've worked so hard to build.

St. Patrick's Sale: Extra 17% Off All Sale Items! (Discount shown in cart.)
The Clarks Originals® Collection began back in the 1950's when Nathan Clark decided to model a boot based on the style found in the bazaars of Cairo. This collection was part of the Clarks Shoes line and quickly grew with popularity. The Clarks Desert Boot became popular overnight, and provided a casual design that is still sought-after today. The collection expanded in the 1960's to include the Clarks Wallabee, which is an icon in the collection with its crepe sole and simple design. Later, the Clarks Desert Trek shoe modified the original Desert Boot styling with a center seam down the top of the upper, and took America by storm. All of these shoes – and new models similar to them – remain very popular today.
The Clarks Originals® Collection features soft, unlined leather or suede that is comfortable and breathable. All of these shoes have laces so that you can adjust the shoe for a custom fit. The crepe outsole is durable and long-lasting. The classic styles and comfort of the Originals® Collection are distinctive and timeless.

Yogi Tea Woman's Energy 100% Natural - 16 Tea Bags (1.12 oz. / 32 g)
Yogi Tea Woman's Energy Tea 100% Natural helps balance the female system. Woman's Energy is a delicious way to enhance your overall well-being and harness your feminine energy during all stages of life. Purposefully formulated to work with your body, this special formula contains Dong Quai, the queen of Chinese herbs, which has been traditionally used to support reproductive health and to help balance and ease you through your female cycles. A blend of exotic Ayurvedic spices compliment sweet Fennel, Anise and lively Orange Peel in this intriguing blend that is sure to leave you feeling like your healthy, strong and graceful self.
The Natural Goodness of Yogi:Yogi has been creating all-natural and organic teas for more than 30 years. Their philosophy is simple: they believe wholesome, unprocessed foods are the best way to enjoy essential health benefits complimented by intriguing, delightful flavors - qualities that make all of their products uniquely Yogi.
Yogi Principles:
Quality Testing:To ensure consistency and quality, Yogi ingredients are meticulously reviewed and tested for insecticides, pesticides and heavy metals. Their ingredients are handled carefully, from the time they're harvested, through the manufacturing process in their organically certified facility. They strictly adhere to the prohibition of GMO ingredients as required by the National Organic Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and by Quality Assurance International (QAI), their third party organic certifier.This process ensures Yogi teas are made to their own scrutinizing standards and ultimately deliver unsurpassed quality to you, their customer.About Yogi Tea:Their story begins in 1969 when Yogi Bhajan, an inspired and inspiring teacher of holistic living, started teaching yoga in America. He shared the wisdom and knowledge of Ayurveda and healthy living that he had mastered in India with his students while serving a specially spiced tea, which they affectionately named "Yogi Tea." The recipe contained five traditional Ayurvedic spices: cardamom seed, cinnamon bark, clove bud, ginger root and black pepper. When blended and brewed, these delicious spices leave you feeling vibrant and alive, while boosting overall well-being. Intrigued by the complex flavor and inherent health benefits of this unique combination of spices, it wasn't long before several of the yogi's students were inspired to brew their own "Yogi Tea."
In 1984 this grassroots endeavor blossomed into the Yogi Tea Company. Packages of the rough, dried spices began to appear in natural foods stores throughout Southern California. As demand increased, the spices were more finely ground, packaged and sealed into individual tea bags. By 1986, Yogi Tea was distributed nationwide in three flavors.Yogi has continued to expand and evolve their tea offerings to address specific health needs by creating specialized herbal formulas, blended for both flavor and purpose. Today, Yogi has over 60 tea blends, many of which are created using the five original Yogi spices.The holistic teachings of Ayurveda and healthy living are the inspiration behind Yogi. These teachings continue to inform how they develop their products, and they honor and reflect them through the Yogi Principles.

I love it that you are usually one of the first commenters! heart!:)
DeleteWhat do I find most challenging about Indian Cooking? First off, collecting all the needed ingredients, and secondly, I haven't yet had the opportunity to make an Indian dish, unfortunately. But, with my food-adventurous husband that is more than willing to eat Indian food, as well as being willing to eat a few vegan meals with me, I look forward to making these dishes when he comes back home from Afghanistan. I have to say, I feel pretty lucky to be with a gent that doesn't turn his noes at foods that deviate from the hot dog, hamburger, pizza and fast food normals of our area.
DeleteThat is awesome that your husband is adventurous and likes to try vegan meals! Indian food is very flavorful and hopefully you all will be able to eat more of it!
DeleteHe was excited when curry was served at chow over there, gave him remembrance of good Indian dine out on our adventures.
Deletei wish my husband was more adventurous ;) but he's definitely getting better!
Deletei forgot to say what is most challenging about making indian food! i think it would be that it seems so much different than any other cuisine with directions that can be somewhat detailed and complicated.
we have been excited about trying new foods here in our home... my 12-year-old daughter is vegetarian, & i have cut back on my own non-whole foods eating... cooking for us as a family is challenging in general, but even more so as we expand our tastes... trying Indian foods & all the varying flavors is exciting but sometimes not received well by the entire family as they have become stuck in a rut of eating badly or just refuse to try new things... anyway, my daughter & i are extremely excited about our changes, including trying varied ethnic foods... so, thank you for your posts...
ReplyDeleteAh comfort food. Love the details in your food posts and the brilliant pics that go with it.
ReplyDeleteSometimes cooking vegetables which doesn't have alot of flavor is a big challenge for me. I would SOOO love to win this book! I am crossing my fingers :)
ReplyDeleteI would freakin' LOVE to have this book! I was just speaking with a friend yesterday saying that I need to try out more Indian recipes at home. So, this is clearly meant to be. ;) Great photos, Richa!
ReplyDeleteI love Indian cooking.Infact I have been trying to make all my dishes vegan and also oil free.I although wish there were more healthy baking options.I loved Anupys book.Infact did eajma in slowcooker and its the best I have ever eaten texture wise..
ReplyDeleteThis book would be an amazing addition to my collection. I have been learning about Indian cuisine for the last 10 years, and the most difficult challenge is getting past the rich cream/yogurt/ghee filled dishes and finding equally delicious recipes that are also vegan. I would really love a copy of this book to broaden my knowledge of VEGAN Indian Cuisine!
ReplyDeleteMy challenge with Indian food is patience! I want to put everything in and be done, but you really need to take the time to do each step right for the flavors to develop properly. A good cookbook would sure help me learn the basics!
ReplyDeleteI have quite the vegan cookbook collection, but this one is so different from the others! I don't mind the fact that she's not exclusively vegan- at least she's showing the world how delicious vegan food can be and if that inspires someone to eat more vegan meals, even if they don't go entirely vegan, that's ok by me :)
ReplyDeleteI am mostly challenged by adapting non-vegan recipes and getting my family to try them. They can be so critical! :)
Happy India Independence Day!I find that the use of the different spices are challenging, especially when I grew up with a 3 spice only cabinate (basil, oregano and pepper) so using new spices is always challenging as to how much and when to add,
~JennI love Indian food so I'm always on the lookout for any veganized dishes. Anytime I cook a dish on my own without following any recipe, I always reach out for the typical Indian spices which usually come out successful but not always, so I feel this would be a wonderful book to help me perfect the flavors of my favorite dishes and as a guideline on how to combine flavors whenever I choose to be creative and come up with new recipes. My greatest challenge though is making a dish sattvic (no onion, garlic, mushroom, chilli peppers) without losing the essence of it. I'm grateful that you feature many Indian recipes on your blog which is a refreshing look at food from American perspective. Blessings always, Nithya Satyaswaroopan
ReplyDeleteI love Indian food, but I'm sometimes intimidated by trying to find new or unusual (to me) ingredients. There's an Indian grocery nearby but I don't always know where to find things and am often too nervous to ask (afraid of looking like the dumb white girl). Fortunately, people seem to notice my confusion and take pity on me (the other day a kind soul pointed me toward the asafoetida... I never would have found it otherwise). I'm starting to know my way around; I know where to find the curry leaves, the tamarind paste, etc., but it's taken me a while!
ReplyDeleteIn my case is to get the spices right. The range of flavors are so balance when somebody that knows how to do it cooks, there's a roundness to it.
This recipe looks great, I will either wait for a cooler weather or blast the AC :)
Also my son loves to help in the kitchen and smell everything so it will be fun to do.
Thanks :)- AnonymousAugust 16, 2012 at 9:56 AM
The hardest part for me is making something like this without having to go to a specialty market - wish I knew what to just keep on hand. I would really enjoy this cookbook as I love Indian food and I am new to following a plant-based diet. What a great giveaway. Thank you!
Kim -at- TeamJaneHayes -dot- com I LOVE Indian food!! The most challenging thing about it is the time it takes to prepare it. No doubt, the time is certainly worth the end prize but when I don't have a lot of time I like quick and easy. I love the flavors that are in Indian food though. I usually just pay good money and eat it when I am out. I do keep a bottle of curry powder and garam masala in my spice rack though ;-)

The most challenging part of cooking Indian for me is finding all of the ingredients - esp. the spices.
ReplyDelete - MichelleAugust 16, 2012 at 5:19 PM
I love Indian food and would love to try cooking more of it. I would love to win this.
ReplyDelete i wish i stayed in the US ;-) would have loved to get this book, especially with all the disasters i have in the kitchen veganizing indian sweets and bakes. indian dals, veggie dishes and curries is not difficult to veganize. thankfully at home now we have stopped using ghee completely. milk and curd is still there and paneer i avoid, much to the family expectations :-)
ReplyDeleteThe most challenging part is acquiring the spices for cooking Indian dishes. These items aren't always spices I have on-hand. But I spend so much money eating Indian food in restaurants I might as well just buy all the spices and do it myself- so in a way you'd be helping me save money if I win. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds so fantastic! I'm always excited to try out different cuisines, and despite how vegan-friendly Indian food can be, there really aren't many good cookbooks to choose from. Hopefully this one changes all that. The mutter paneer at least looks fantastic through your lens. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this recipe; I love Indian food! :) My name is Cindy and I blog over at Vegetarianmamma.com I wanted to invite you to link up your recipe at our Gluten Free Fridays Recipe Link up party! It happens every Friday and we'd love to have you join us with some of your awesome recipes! You can find this week's link up here: http://vegetarianmamma.com/gluten-free-friday-recipe-link-up-1/

I would love to win this book! My buddy and I just got an apartment together for college - he's not a vegan but he LOVES Indian food - so I'd love to be able to use this to get him into veganism!!
ReplyDelete My biggest challenge in cooking Indian food is retaining the flavor in the vegetables I cook with to keep things from getting bland. I sometimes also struggle with balancing spices. The flavors are so nuanced and sometimes hard to recreate! But I love Indian food and am committed to getting better at making it!
ReplyDelete- Meg DrennanAugust 19, 2012 at 8:16 PM
Mattar Paneer has been one of my all-time favorite Indian meals whenever I've gone to a restaurant. I am in the process of transitioning to a vegan diet, and would love to try out more vegan/ veganized Indian meals- it would be so amazing to be able to feast on such delicious food at home whenever I wanted!
ReplyDelete - Shannon CAugust 20, 2012 at 1:55 PM
I have lots of trouble finding fresh curry leaves when I really really want them for a recipe. Not abundant in Baltimore :(
ReplyDelete The most challenging thing about Indian cooking for me? Definitely the spices! I am now collecting the spices so when I follow a recipe I won't need to google a spice to know what it is or run out to the local Asian market. I now own asafoetida (which I love since I don't really eat garlic or onions). I also have calonji, jumbo green cardamom pods, whole yellow mustard seeds, Garam masala Spice blend and Chana masala spice blend. I'm on my way!

I cook for 1 and many of the recipes make much more! I'm not too wild about leftovers. I try to cut recipes down for 1, but I think the end result is different sometimes. I keep trying!I checked this book out of the library and love it! I'd love to own a copy. Thanks for the possible opportunity.

There are luxury brands that we all know—Mercedes, Louis Vuitton—and there are luxury brands that are known primarily among aficionado groups—Cohiba cigars, Sage fly fishing rods. Runco tends to be a brand that falls more in the second category. It has a reputation for offering spectacular, and spectacularly expensive, home theater projectors. For instance, at a CEDIA Expo press conference in 2011, the company spent most of the 40 minutes demonstrating a jaw-dropping projector that clocks in at over $200,000. That's without the screen or the popcorn.
Why do I point this out—because alongside such extravagances, the company now offers a product that will get the Runco name, along with a lot of the Runco prowess, into homes for a lot less. Last year the company introduced the LightStyle line of projectors which tend to be less expensive than Runco's other systems (though the three-chip models do get up there). They also don't don't look like industrial air conditioners. The LS-1 reviewed here carries an MSRP of $3,999.
Actually, being round and squat, they look a little like Roombas. That's not a bad thing. These are stylish little projectors (you can also customize them with a color palette or team logo) that won't look at all bad snugged up against your ceiling.
The LS-1 is a single-chip DLP projector. The company specs rate it as having a 10,000:1 contrast ratio and 780 ANSI lumens brightness. That seems a bit low since other companies offer cheaper models with more than 1,000 lumens, but you'll see from my testing, that performance wasn't hindered by that number.
Setting up the Runco, I found that while it's an entry-level product, it certainly didn't feel like it when I lifted all 18 pounds of it out of the box. With that kind of heft, either the company packed in some extra sand bags, or it's got a lot of heavy-duty features making it work.
The second thing I noticed was that the inputs all seemed to be missing. Actually they're nicely covered by a removable panel. This is one of those features that make the projector look more like something you'd want in your family hang-out room and less like something hanging from the ceiling in a classroom. Accessing the input panel I found two HDMI ports, 1 component, 1 RGB, s-video and composite plus an RS-232 for control systems.
On top there's a small control panel for access the menu and such, but you're much better off depending on the remote for all those operations.
Speaking of the remote—it's backlit so you can use it in the dark, and it's logically organized and easy to use.

The possibility of losing your home because you can't make the mortgage payments can be terrifying. Perhaps you are one of the many consumers who took out a mortgage that had a fixed rate for the first two or three years and then had an adjustable rate. Or maybe you're anticipating an adjustment, and want to know what your payments will be and whether you'll be able to make them. Or maybe you're having trouble making ends meet because of an unrelated financial crisis.
Whether you're shopping for appliances or automobiles, groceries or gadgets, travel services or tax preparers, the Internet has changed the way most people gather information about products and services.
With prices averaging more than $28,000 for a new vehicle and $15,000 for a used vehicle, most consumers need financing or leasing to acquire a vehicle. In some cases, buyers use "direct lending:" they obtain a loan directly from a finance company, bank or credit union. In direct lending, a buyer agrees to pay the amount financed, plus an agreed-upon finance charge, over a period of time. Once a buyer and a vehicle dealership enter into a contract to purchase a vehicle, the buyer uses the loan proceeds from the direct lender to pay the dealership for the vehicle. Consumers also may arrange for a vehicle loan over the Internet.
Using a credit line to borrow against the equity in your home has become a popular source of consumer credit. And lenders are offering these home equity credit lines in a variety of ways.
If you're refinancing your mortgage or applying for a home equity installment loan, you should know about the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 (HOEPA).
For many consumers, electronic banking means 24-hour access to cash through an automated teller machine (ATM) or Direct Deposit of paychecks into checking or savings accounts. But electronic banking now involves many different types of transactions.
If you're thinking about selling your home, you may be considering using the services of a real estate broker or agent. But before you sign a listing agreement, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the agency that works for a competitive marketplace, wants you to be informed about your choices.
Having trouble paying your bills? Getting dunning notices from creditors? Are your accounts being turned over to debt collectors? Are you worried about losing your home or your car?
Warranties for Newly Built Homes: Know Your Options For many people, a home is the most expensive purchase they ever make. It's no wonder, then, that buyers of newly built homes are interested in warranties, which promise to repair or replace certain elements of the home, if necessary, within a certain time. According to the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, if you're considering a home warranty it's important to understand what it covers, how to make a claim, and the process for resolving disputes that may arise between you and the builder or warranty company.
Whether seeking money to finance a home improvement, pay off a current mortgage, supplement their retirement income, or pay for healthcare expenses, many older Americans are turning to "reverse" mortgages. They allow older homeowners to convert part of the equity in their homes into cash without having to sell their homes or take on additional monthly bills.
Advance-fee loan sharks are preying on unwary consumers, taking their money for the promise of a loan or credit, and leaving them in hot water. The scam artists often impersonate legitimate lenders to entice consumers into falling for their bogus offer.
Of all the many different types of credit - for example, retail credit, loans, charge cards, and mortgages - utility credit may be the one that most people cannot do without. Utility credit is the credit extended to users of gas, electricity, and water services. Phone service also can be considered a utility.
From the Consumer Literacy Consortium, a working group of representatives from federal and state government agencies, consumer groups, business organizations, and educational institutions that seeks to develop and disseminate essential messages to inform and educate consumers.
If you're a landlord, you may use consumer reports to evaluate rental applications - as long as you follow the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The FCRA is designed to protect the privacy of consumer report information and to guarantee that the information supplied by consumer reporting agencies (CRAs) is as accurate as possible. The FCRA requires landlords who deny a lease based on information in the applicant's consumer report to provide the applicant with an "adverse action notice."
If you put less than 20 percent down on a home mortgage, lenders often require you to have Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). PMI protects the lender if you default on the loan. The Homeowners Protection Act of 1998 - which became effective in 1999 - establishes rules for automatic termination and borrower cancellation of PMI on home mortgages. These protections apply to certain home mortgages signed on or after July 29, 1999 for the purchase, initial construction, or refinance of a single-family home. These protections do not apply to government-insured FHA or VA loans or to loans with lender-paid PMI.

Just reading your commentary on the youtube video of the 13 year old girl talking about slut shaming... It really says something when I, a 23 year old university graduate reads the entire blog post of a 15 year old girl. It really gives me hope, as I enter a dire jobs market that articulate young ladies such as yourself, the same age as my younger brother have ambitions and fucking PREACH to the ignorant about feminism. I get really despondent when I see the girls in my brothers class and would love to tell them that its "cool" to be a feminist, but I'm a twenty-something, not a contemporary so therefore i'm "old". I learn something from you everytime I read one of your posts, or rookie mag and I'm not bitter because of the age gap. This is turning into an essay, so I'll end on a lighter note - GREAT beehive, and this was my favourite line of this whole post - "I just know I'll try and emulate her essence for about half an hour after leaving the theater, my confidence shaken by a single fart. I'm sorry, I just refuse to believe that people like this fart." Lol. The end.

I have short hair, but I would grow it for months just so I could have a beehive every day. (Except I don't have the patience). - January 15, 2012 8:15 AM

Wow, Tavi. Thank you for showing me that feminism is not dead. You are so smart and cool- yea sounds weird coming from a 28yo. But being a post-grad and disillusioned with a feminism that produced no tangible changes in the mainstream media, I am really blown away to see such a difference in your generation and in voices so young! Keep spreading the good word, as will I.

Hi Tavi, your creepy satanist cult that worships you as saint and savior/followers need to know of you more often (if not on daily basis). So please, come here more often and just fart if you want, but keep us from biting our (or other's) nails to the roots. We always end up biting our hands and arms, too, and you can imagine how unpleasant it is.

Hey Tavi
I'm 14 (like you) and I'm blogger aswell (just not as good as you)
I love this post a little too much... a bit random but what brand of eyeliner do you use? I've been trying to perfect the winged look but it keeps smudging. Thank you SO much if you read this,

you're so right about the girl on youtube. i love the video.

I see that you've been wearing rosaries and various christian paraphernalia. You publicly admit that you are Jewish, so wearing these things turns them into a fashion statement and kitschy when they actually have a spiritual significance to a lot of people, and you are using them to complete your "look". I'm not trying to hate, I've ben following you for some time and I love how rookiemag has turned out, I just wanted you to see my point of view.

Ok, God, here goes: I love the 60's look you're doing, especially the eye makeup and the second "outfit" pic. I can't believe Spencer's mom kept all that stuff after all these years-- I love her little rows of diaries and how the notes are still folded in triangles. I've seen the trailer for "Miss Representation" like 50 times and cry every time I watch it, and it's great to know I can watch the movie online for free because I haven't done that yet. That girl's video on slut-shaming is awesome, and totally believable, because I was smart when I was 13 too. Makes me wonder about her female doubters. That little girl is amazing, and I totally used to work in the same toy store she's in (well, probably not the SAME one, but same company). And lastly, I think that Wes Anderson trailer just killed me. "No, what kind of bird are YOU?"

i really want to see miss representation! a lot of the stuff about women in the media and in politics relates to what my country (australia) is going through at the moment. we have a female prime minister and every second article or comment about her is in regard to her appearance or whether people think she's a 'bitch' or wrong for being unmarried. this documentary looks great.
i also love the prettiness of the rest of the post, of course! great beehive.. i've been trying and failing at that one for a while, i can't seem to get the volume! - January 17, 2012 4:56 AM

Um, you know that feeling when you see something problematic on a (say) feminist site and are still scared of being told off for talking about it? Then I don't know if I'm the good person to talk about that because I'm not the one "aimed" by "dumb" (I don't have mental retardation) and I never was and probably will not be, so it's not like talking about ageism. Still, I think it's problematic for the same reasons as when people use "woman" or "childish" or related-less-polite-words as derogatory because not everything women, children/teens and people with mental retardation do is negative (they can do positive and neutral things) and it may actually keep people from doing positive things or push them to do negative things, because of shame issues or because it's "not for them" or because they feel like it's what is expected of them. And in the end it hurts, also (that one was obvious.)
It happened I did things/didn't do things, sometimes not really "consciously" because I remembered somewhere in the back of my head age/gender expectation (that when I id as a girl or know other people identify me to be a girl/woman), and I know sometimes I have this thing because of expectation about autistic persons even with people who do not know I'm autistic. (it's the worst I think, because somehow the expectations about autistics includes them not talking about these expectations like minors or women might do!) So, you can apply all these reasons about the D-word, too. Neurodiversity and all...
Otherwise I've been really happy to see a new cool-aesthetic post :) Really inspiring! - January 19, 2012 10:24 AM

I'm honestly jealous of the badass 13-year-old girl for not only having the vocabulary to express something I wasn't able to formulate/express at that age, but having the courage to post it on YouTube. I would've never been able to do that 11 years ago. I couldn't do what you do either. So fuck yeah young ladies. :)

hi there. i still remember the times when 'pretentious' was a real word with real meaning (not just a buzzword like 'hipster') and of legitimate use in a discussion. most people like what they like because of who they are. critique always tells you something about the critic. and yet there's plenty of valid criticism. sometimes the emperor has no clothes. thats how a lot of progress happens: punching holes in the traditional old way. rethinking one's beliefs.
unrelated note: pls don't dis comics; i started collecting when the term 'graphic novel' wasn't even invented ^____^
the youtuber has a good message but that stuff is too complicated and multicausal for a 4 min (or 40 min) video, imho.

The one movie I long to see is Wes Anderson directing "The Magician's Nephew" by CS Lewis. That is never going to happen but omg it would be amazing.

Great post!
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but the character of Suzy is a little too reminiscent of Tavi...
but hey, I'd rather see teenage girls with Tavi's style and knowledge than the dime-a-dozen pop tarts they clamor to! - February 12, 2012 4:39 PM

The world is more beautiful than moonrise kingdom because moonrise kingdom does exist in our world but so can other contradictory beautiful things and that is the supreme beauty of our world.

Hi Tavi,
I do like your random photos. I discovered your blog last year, and even if you are really younger than me, I was amazed. For me you are a kind of genius, a style/fashion genius. Your talent and your story are incredible.
That's awesome, you are so stylish for so many years.

Dear Tavi, I gasped (quite loudly) when I saw your jacket because I've seen (believe it or not) matching pants - I recognized the little man with the stoop. I discovered them in Richmond, Va., at a little thrift store, and regrettably left without them. But the jacket is just as cool! <3

The picture of yourself, the one with the Sound of Music in the background, that picture, well, it looks like your sad, or missing something in life.

Miss Representation just made this blog way more than a fashion blog. You are awesome and every time I go onto this website I want to be more unique. You absolutely inspire me by doing what you want and just not caring what other people think.

The marvelous Town Square with the City Hall, a gem of late Gothic architecture. The Gothic and Romanesque churches on the Cathedral Island (Ostrow Tumski), the baroque interiors of the University and superb examples of the International Modern style are all to be seen throughout this city. Visit www.wroclaw-airtour.pl which will guide you through the most beautiful spots in Wroclaw and the Lower Silesia Region. Shopping is another good reason for visiting Wroclaw with many shopping centres like the Dominikanska Gallery, located in the very heart of the city and other shopping centers with free transportation from the centre: Bielany, Korona, Borek. You can also find many small boutiques and galleries with amber and silver jewelers, ceramics, crystals, glass, which are conveniently located around the Old Town Square (Rynek).
Pierogi, gołąbki and barszcz - it's a must and you have to try it. Wroclaw's restaurants specialize primarily in traditional Polish and old Polish cuisine (Karczma Lwowska, Pod Gryfami), although there is no shortage of food from around the world, like Italian, French, Mexican, Russian, Egyptian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese and many others. Worth a try: La Scala, Piramida Steakhouse, Sakana Sushi Bar, Da Lat, Mexico Bar, Sankt Petersburg, Przed i Po, Ready's which are waiting for you to serve an excellent food at reasonable prices.
In Wroclaw's Town Square, night is just the darker part of day. The Square always bursts with life, the numerous nightclubs (Radio Bar, Daytona, Clinique, Studio 54, Szuflada), pubs (Guinness, John Bull, Pod Zielonym Kogutem), life jazz (Rura Jazz Club) vibrating with all rhythms of the world and open until the last guest leaves. A night on the town in Wroclaw is a good start to the next day. Ask for places located on the Old Square Market, Salt Square, Niepolda Passage and close to the University of Wroclaw.
Wroclaw hosts numerous international cultural events. Music (the International Festival "Wratislavia Cantans"), theatrical and film festivals, concerts and open-air shows (Wroclaw Non Stop) take place in the city all year round. See many art galleries (ceramic and glass, avant-garde, design, photography, contemporary art, naive and folk art etc.), museums, theatres and many other places which inspire artist from around the world, like for example performers who take part in "Buskerbus" - the International Festival of Street Art. We recommend to buy the Wroclaw Tourist Card and get free entrance to the most important museums, galleries and gardens, access to internet and public transportation system.
The whole region of Lower Silesia is extraordinarily attractive for tourists. Not only its capital, Wroclaw, situated on 12 islands connected by 112 bridges, with one of the most beautiful market squares in Poland and many other points of cultural interest, monuments, and interesting examples of architecture (e.g. the Centennial Hall, Market Hall), and parks (e.g. the Japanese Garden), is an intriguing place for newcomers. The region also offers a wide range of active entertainment, recreation, and leisure at its winter centres in Szklarska Poreba and Karpacz. Old castle and palace enthusiasts will also find interesting places in Lower Silesia: monuments such as the castle in Ksiaz, Czocha castle and the ruins in Bolkowo and Chojnik have been attracting foreign tourist for years.
