Kavanagh, Julie
Julie Kavanagh Secret Muses: The Life of Frederick Ashton
Julie Kavanagh is an English dance critic and biographer.
Julie Kavanagh's biography of British choreographer Frederick Ashton (1904–1988) is a solid contribution to the study of this artist who was a major force in the art of dance in the twentieth century. The clarity of the prose in Secret Muses: The Life of Frederick Ashton and the perceptive reading of Ashton's life and its expression in art have been attributed to Kavanagh's grounding in the art. Kavanagh is a dance critic, the London editor of The New Yorker, and a former member of the Royal Ballet company—which Ashton headed for much of his career. One of Ashton's closer friends in his final years, Kavanagh gained the confidence of her subject and enjoyed a rapport that resulted in an intimate yet objective life of the man and his art. As a journalist, she maintains an objective detachment in Secret Muses which is admired by most reviewers. The book covers the choreographer's life from his childhood in Peru under the stern and melancholic presence of his father George Ashton, a diplomat and businessman who was consternated by his son's effeminacy, to Ashton's triumphs in New York and London and his final years as a giant of English cultural life. She notes that Ashton's life-course was set when, as a youth, he saw Anna Pavlova of the Ballets Russes dance in Peru. Kavanagh reveals that Ashton wanted to be Pavlova, but it wasn't until after his father's suicide, when Ashton was in his teens, that the boy dedicated himself to dance. By then it was too late to develop as a dancer, but without the usual training, and relying on scant knowledge of the technique of the art, and of music, Ashton nonetheless pursued his passion. Ashton's romantic relationships as well as his life-long associations with prominent dancers and British royalty become the "secret muses" of Kavanagh's title. Secret Muses has been welcomed by most critics for its extension of the study of an important artist, and its contribution to the history of ballet. Kavanagh's technique, journalistic rather than academic, relies on interviews, films, and her own astute observations. "She brings us not just the man's struggle but the man himself, in all his complexity," wrote Arlene Croce. Terry Teachout noted an absence of academic rigor that at times results in omissions and underexplanation, but praised the book as "invaluable" and applauded Kavanagh for the "skill and sensitivity" with which she "evokes the imaginative world" of Ashton's ballets. The journalistic approach does not sacrifice the quality of Kavanagh's research. One critic appreciated the Kavanagh's presentation of a "panorama of secrets," which serve to "reveal the world of the man and the artist in a clear light."

[In the following review of Secret Muses, Keates observes the private and professional features of the figure of Frederick Ashton that emerge in Kavanagh's biography.]
Lurking within the exotically bedecked, lavishly appointed saloons and antechambers of this palatial work, a novel or a film script eternally seeks to escape. At its opening a small boy watches a famous ballerina dance in a South American theatre and yearns to be the very creature who has so entranced him. By the close, having understandably failed to dance like Pavlova, he has instead gained celebrity as the creator of a brilliantly idiosyncratic choreography whose elegance and wit, entrancing to audiences, have given the Royal Ballet a memorable identity. In the space between, as if this were not already crammed enough with the hero's evident dedication to his art, he contrives to develop two very different private and public faces. As Fred he is the restless pursuer of attractive though not always available men, who may or may not love him in return, while as Freddie he becomes one of those beguilers of tedium, picnic guests and boon companions over cocktails within the orbit of royal intimacy at Clarence House and Kensington Palace.
'Freddie', his grander acquaintances keep assuring Julie Kavanagh (and...

[The following review briefly assesses Kavanagh's depiction of Frederick Ashton and his world in Secret Muses.]
A man can sometimes be defined more by the qualities he lacks than by those he possesses. Frederick Ashton, whose career, together with those of Margot Fonteyn and Ninette de Valois, virtually describes the history of English ballet, might be expected to have been a formidably authoritative figure, a match for the professionals he collaborated with, something high-powered along the lines of a George Balanchine or a Serge Diaghilev. Not at all: constitutionally lazy, never able to read a score, bored by teaching, vague at times as to the exact steps he wanted, Ashton ambushed his elusive muse more obliquely. He knew what he was after, but what Julie Kavanagh brings out in this sympathetic and perceptive biography is his informality, his indirectness, his comparatively uneducated instinct for dance. In its old-fashioned Englishness, it was of a piece with his lightness of temperament, his genius for witty fooling: his impersonations (the long-nosed Edith Sitwell, say, or the galumphing Isadora Duncan) were legendary.
All this is fitting in a choreographer whose ballets are themselves regarded as quintessentially English—in the loose sense of the word. The qualities so often...

[The following short review points out the strengths of Kavanagh's portrait of Frederick Ashton's life.]
A slavishly detailed but lightsomely written life of the British ballet-maker.
Kavanagh, London editor of the New Yorker, explains in an afterword that Ashton alternately authorized and forbade her project, chagrined to be reminded by her of his mortality. "It's the finality of it—knowing you're grabbing as much out of me as you can before I die," he once complained. And she has grabbed it. The intelligence and novelistic command of this book about the man who helped to invent modern English ballet is equaled only by the depth of Kavanagh's research. Her enviable ease and glamorous settings range from Ashton's first glimpse, as a boy in Lima, Peru, of Anna Pavlova, to his apprenticeship with Bronislava Nijinska in Paris in the '20s, to his American stints and sundry European wanderings, and his irrepressibly multiple sexual selves. We're treated to the chronicle of Ashton's dances (Les Patineurs, A Wedding Bouquet, Monotones, et al.) as he worked with Marie Rambert of the Ballet Club and Ninette de Valois of the Vic-Wells Ballet (later the Royal Ballet, which he eventually directed). And we're regaled with his legendary late-night wit. Kavanagh reports high times in the '30s: "Spotting...

[In the following review, Teachout praises Secret Muses for Kavanagh's "skill and sensitivity" while objecting to a lack of "concise critical interpretation" in the treatment of her subject.]
Time was when Sir Frederick Ashton's ballets seemed built to travel. The Royal Ballet danced them to loud acclaim at home and abroad, while the Joffrey Ballet went so far as to offer occasional all-Ashton bills. The visionary decadence of "Illuminations," the genteel surrealism of "A Wedding Bouquet," the crystalline mysteries of "Monotones": all were once staples of the dance life of American balletomanes. Even now, if one were to ask the 10 leading dance critics in America to name the 10 most important choreographers of the 20th century, it's a safe bet that Ashton would make every list.
But times have changed, and Ashton's American reputation, less than a decade after his death, is based mainly on memories. The Royal Ballet's scheduled performances of "Cinderella," "La Valse" and "Daphnis and Chloe" at this summer's Lincoln Center Festival will mark the first time any of Ashton's ballets have been seen in New York since 1994, and the first time in 20 years that "Cinderella" has been danced anywhere in this country. The Joffrey today is an Ashtonless shadow of its former self—the current management prefers dancing to...

[In the following essay, Croce discusses the development of Frederick Ashton's career and his contributions to British ballet alongside comments on Kavanagh's treatment of these themes in her biography.]
Biographies of artists are notably tricky to write: the greater the art, the less there is for the biographer to get hold of. The artist's life is absorbed by that other reality which is the art, and what's left over—the husk of a life—is comparatively uninteresting. When the artist is a dancer or a choreographer, the biographer is faced with the special task of commemorating someone whose whole glory is to have disappeared completely, in art as well as in life. The great artists of dance disappear into legend, and they tend to blur together in our minds. Who now can really say what made Pavlova different from Spessivtseva—or, for that matter, from Taglioni or Grisi? The two great classical choreographers of our time, George Balanchine and Frederick Ashton, are still distinct personalities to us, but to future generations they may be as indistinguishable as Coralli and Perrot. The materia of ballet is remade by each era's masters; all that survives is a tradition and, when tradition goes, a kind of faith.
Frederick Ashton died in 1988, five years after Balanchine, his exact contemporary. (Both were...

[In the following essay, Aloff considers Kavanagh's contribution to an understanding of Frederick Ashton's work, comparing Secret Muses to a previous study of the same subject.]
The choreographer Frederick Ashton—one of the greatest ballet masters in history—was born in 1904, in Guayaquil, Ecuador, to a couple who were natives of England. Around the age of three, he moved with his family (including three older brothers and a younger sister) to Lima, Peru, where he stayed until going to boarding school in England at the age of 15. Ashton never returned to Lima, yet over the course of his long career in the theater (which began rather late, at age 18, with ballet classes from Léonide Massine) he retained indelible memories of the dazzlingly stylish women on Lima's boulevards, of the public religious processions, and of the melancholy songs of his half-Inca nurse, which—as Julie Kavanagh recounts in her new life of Ashton—he recalled into old age.
Ashton's off-stage life was, from childhood, sexually complex, emotionally turbulent, and socially ranging. Yet even as he became an increasingly jaded critic of individuals, he demonstrated an innocent's captivation with feminine beauty, with grand public ceremony, and with societal allure. His ballets founded one fairytale kingdom after...

Can we talk? (Yes, I'm stealing that line.) I'm personally getting a little annoyed at media folk who keep saying that Jimmy Kimmel's new 11:35 show now "makes it a three-man race." Uh . . . NO. It makes it a FOUR-man race! Why do they keep ignoring Stephen as a competitor? He and Jon get the most advertiser-desired audience of the group. It may not be largest viewership, but it is considered the most sought-after. It's infuriating. Here's an announcement: the big networks aren't all that matter anymore. In fact, they may matter LESS now than others. Get with the times, understand what's happening with media, and judge properly.
*I am now stepping down from my soapbox.*
Both Jon and Stephen delivered a sparkling first week back. Both of them seemed positively giddy to return to work and, clearly, both knew there was plenty of material just waiting for them. Kudos to Jon for his lengthy openers, which took on the fiscal cliff, gun control, and Sandy recovery funding. (Does it seem to you he's using the correspondents less and less?) Stephen tackled most of those subjects in an equally brilliant, yet extremely different, way. It's always fascinating for me to see how they each approach the same news story.
And then there were naughty couches….
Now, let's take a look at this week's guests! (Still no photos, by the way. The site is not cooperating. So sorry.) Continue reading

"Even though it was a winter dress, I was going to wear it to the prom," Thomas said. "But in one fell swoop, that was wiped away."
Civil rights come to Birmingham
There is disagreement over why prom was canceled for those five black high schools in 1963.
The civil rights movement was in full swing that year, but the high school students, to an extent, were kept at a distance from it.
This would change on May 2, 1963, when hundreds of children, some as young as 6, left school to march in Birmingham in opposition to segregation.
Thousands of arrests were made at the so-called Children's March, and when the marches persisted for several days, authorities responded with fire hoses and dogs.
"This was a very controversial thing," said Glenn T. Eskew, a history professor at Georgia State University who has written a book about Birmingham during this period. "There were those who did not believe that schoolchildren should be engaging in civil rights protests. Not only was it dangerous, but they were youth and it was a very confrontational thing."
The images of children being hosed and intimidated by police dogs renewed a level of outrage at the national level that had been flagging.
"It changed the dynamic of the protest dramatically," Eskew said. "It encouraged other youth to participate on one hand, and on the other it ratcheted up the pressure on the forces of white supremacy."
Only a fraction of students from the black high schools participated. Many were told by their parents not to participate, for fear of losing a job or other retribution.
Thomas didn't march because her grandfather expressed concerns that he might be fired if someone saw her protesting.
But everyone would be affected by the protests, whether they marched or not.
Days after the marches, the school board announced that all end-of-the-year activities were canceled for the class of 1963. No prom, no graduation, no yearbook.
The stated reason for the cancellations was security concerns; that in such a tense racial atmosphere, a gathering such as a graduation ceremony or prom could become the target of an attack.
Yet many believe that the events were taken away as a punishment for their participation in the marches.
If the authorities were truly concerned about the safety of the black students, they would not have met them with fire hoses and snarling dogs, said Bishop Calvin Woods, director of the Birmingham chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
It was Woods, who was a father with children at the schools, who sued to have graduation reinstated.
A court eventually ordered graduation must go on, and it did, though delayed. But prom never happened.
Shirley Holmes Sims had her copper-colored dress ready to go when she left school to participate in the Children's March. And copper-colored shoes to match.
They would go unworn, and be lost decades later in a tornado.
"We marched down that street and we were singing 'We Shall Overcome,'" Sims said. "You think back to it today, and it was truly worth it."
Righting a wrong
Ethel Arms has a line she uses when the topic of high school rites of passage and prom comes up: "We didn't have a prom because of the civil rights movement."
It puts the memory of 1963 in perspective and justifies the sacrifice.
Yet it doesn't change the fact that inside, she has always lamented that she never had that night.

Professionals Take The Web By Storm
If you believe no one's making money on the Internet, you haven't talked to any lawyers or accountants lately.
Professional services firms are discovering that when it comes to reeling in new clients and servicing existing ones, the Internet is a profitable business address – and a relatively easy way for professional unknowns to make a name for themselves.
Just ask 29-year-old Gregory Siskind. Three years ago the Nashville attorney was a nobody with a big dream of practicing immigration law. Today, his immigration law firm, Siskind, Susser, Haas & Chang, has 11 lawyers with offices in six states. About two-thirds of the firm's business comes through the Internet – either from its Web site or from its free monthly newsletter, distributed electronically to 10,000 subscribers.
A cheap way to market
Mr. Siskind has also written the American Bar Association's definitive marketing book: "Lawyers' Guide to Marketing on the Internet."
Or ask 39-year-old Lewis Rose, whose Washington-based law firm Arent Fox added 30 new clients and about $300,000 in revenue over the past 16 months with little marketing expense.
How? By hanging out its Internet shingle (http://www.arentfox.com). Mr. Rose, who in 1994 launched his firm's Internet site, says, "The internet has been the most cost-effective way of getting my name out there . . . I get phone calls and referrals all the time and give speeches all over the country."
What Mr. Rose, Mr. Siskind and other professionals are realizing is that cyberculture and professional culture can be an ideal match. The biggest lure is that for the cost of an in-depth Web site (typically $10,000 to $50,000), professionals can quickly establish their name and reputation.
The Web site for Mr. Siskind's firm, for instance, at 1,000 pages is a veritable bible of immigration law, including all government forms relevant to immigration – and it's all free.
While it seems incongruous, lawyers, accountants and other professionals are touting the virtues of free information on their Web sites.
Content drives clients to call
Burgess Allison, technical editor of the American Bar Association's Law Practice Management magazine and author of "Lawyer's Guide to the Internet," explains it this way: "If someone's spent the last half-hour reading a huge tutorial at a Web site, who are they going to pick up the phone to call?"
Think of Web marketing of professional services as a never-ending, free seminar – chock full of information that gets your name and expertise in front of the public. "To do a good professional Web site, you don't want to do advertising," says Mr. Allison. "You want to market content and services."
Content drives people to a professional service's Web site, says Mr. Allison, and helps establish name recognition and reputation.
Interactivity is key
Besides content, another key to succeeding at marketing professional services online is interactivity. "You want to make it as easy as possible for people to reach you," advises Stephen King, president of Virtual Growth Incorporation, (http://www.virtualgrowth.com) a small-business accounting and consulting firm that has grown 300% in the past six months.
Virtual Growth's Home Page includes two big buttons to click: One gets you a free consultation, the other's an e-mail contact. To keep fingers itching throughout, every Virtual Growth page has an information request button and an e-mail box.
Frankfurt, Garbus, Klein & Selz, a New York entertainment and media law firm recently revamped its site (http://www.fgks.com), making a lawyer just a click away. For example, site visitors that want to find out if their latest brilliant scheme will fly legally can just click on a particular practice area or attorney's name on Frankfurt Garbus' site to ask a question.
Make sure it's simple
There's another secret behind successful professional service Web sites. Keep them simple and professional-looking. "You don't want things running on the bottom or hands waving at you," warns Mr. Siskind.
His rule of thumb: "If it's not something you would find acceptable for a firm brochure, chances are it won't be acceptable for a Web site."
Of course, marketing your law firm or accounting or consulting practice on the Internet is more than just putting up a World Wide Web site. Like any good marketing, Web marketing needs to be part of an overall campaign and integrated with non-Web marketing.
"You can't just put up a Web site and expect people to come," says Mr. Rose, who also runs a list serve for lawyers and moderates an advertising law forum on Counsel Connect, an online networking service for lawyers.
Site depends on clients
For some professionals having a Web site can be overkill. One of the question you should ask: Are your clients or potential clients online?
A good way you can test the online waters is to put your e-mail address on all your communication.
"If you're inundated with e-mail, you may want to make your presence more well-known," suggests New York attorney Ernest R. Ferraro, of Frankfurt, Garbus, Klein & Selz.
Lawyers venturing online, says Mr. Siskind, should also check with their board of professional responsibility, which regulates legal advertising, to ensure their Web sites don't violate state regulations.
A few states, for example, require prior approval of any advertising portions of a site.
Don't stop at the Net
Still, online marketing doesn't end with the Internet. At the end of the day you need to turn a contact into a relationship the old-fashioned way.
"People still need to look you in the eye to know they trust you," says Mr. King.
"To be honest, you need phone calls or meetings to get the warm and fuzzies."
What works for professional sites
* Show, don't tell. Demonstrate your expertise, rather than brag about it, with free products, services and information.
* Quick response. Respect the immediacy of the Web and respond to questions within 24 hours.
* Easy does it. Prominently display e-mail boxes and other interactive buttons so your site's only a click away from new business opportunities.
* Spam's a no-no. If you send electronic direct mail, distribute it only to people who have indicated they want to be contacted.
* Target. First figure out who your target market is, then develop content around your audience.
* Keep it simple. Let the consumer sites use all the latest bells and whistles. Make your site easy to use for a busy professional.
* Get off the reservation. Frequent appropriate newsgroups and let other professionals know you're about so they can refer business to you. Do all the traditional off-Web marketing.

Indians top Gators, Mahone 11k's
VISCKSBURG – Tuesday nights chilly weather wasn't enough to keep Yazoo City's bats from getting hot, topping the Vicksburg Gators 6-5 in non-conference action.
The Indians had just four hits offensively, but it was enough to get win with Demarcus Mahone on the mound.
Mahone pitched a complete game giving up three runs on six hits while fanning 11 Gators in what head coach Gerald Peyton said was a superb performance.
"He was spotting his fastball and his breaking ball was on point," he said.

Spartan Camp #256- 50 gestures + Optional "Movie Gestures Study"
The aim is to produce 50 gestures by Sunday the 3rd of March.
- The gestures can be of anything, human, animal, cavorting capybaras.... You can draw full figures, but you can also go for heads, arms, eyes, or anything specific. All media can be used, both digital or traditional. Coloured or black/white. Quick scribbles or long studies. Imagination or referenced. Clothed or nude. Specifics are up to you!
- In addition to this, participants can choose to do an Optional "Movie Gestures Study", in any medium.
Additional notes on this weeks Optional Study:
The exercise
Gestures in films will most likely display some sort of emotion or be part of an action, which can produce useful study material. It also sets them apart from drawings referenced from posemaniacs and most photography, since those are mostly non-functional gestures. For this weeks optional study, use film/movies as reference for a couple of your gestures. For the sake of this exercise full body shots and human figures would probably be most suitable. If wish, you could also do a few longer figures or some portraits. Stick to using film reference though, and note the film's name down. We might recognize them!
Any film you own, *cough*downloaded*cough*, parts or trailers that can be seen on sites like youtube, or screenshots.
When it comes to gesture drawing, where does gender make a difference? Proportions, mass, size, muscle and fat placement, bone structure, you name it. Once can often recognize someone's gender from far away, even with very little information. In this optional study, focus on these differences. A comparison may be most suitable. For example, a male and female face, leg, arm, torso compared. Or the same gesture, in both a male and female version. Or a side-by-side comparison of the two, the type you often find in anatomy drawing textbooks.
As always- reference advised, not obligatory. Colour, medium, time frame, any specifics are up to you! Good luck and have fun! And feel free to ask questions!
50 poses is a challenge, but don't hurry or stress yourself reaching it! Focus on drawing, as practising is the main goal of this exercise.
Criticizing each other is highly encouraged!! Share constructive criticism, reference images and resources!! Let's help each other get better!
Come on soldiers! Flex those muscles!!

14 July 2010 11:32am
I'm interested to get some opinions on what people think is better to use for URLs across different countries please, either:
- Subdomains such as:
uk.brand.com / fr.brand.com / de.brand.comOr
- ccTLDs such as:
brand.co.uk / brand.fr / brand.de
I'd really like to consider this from a few different angles including Branding, SEO and any other contributing benefits of either method?
Thanks very much
- Subdomains such as:
I'd say ccTLDs, from an SEO viewpoint.
It's difficult to think of any benefits in terms of SEO to using subdomains over ccTLDs.
The subdomain method SHOULD be just as good as using ccTLDs and may well be in a couple of years but it isn't now. There is no system in Google or other search engines that automatically understands that fr.widget.com should be targeted to France and es.widget.com should be targeted to Spain. To Google, fr and es are just a pair of letters that could mean anything at all
You can use workarounds with GWT to target subdomains to countries and simulate having a ccTLD but there are drawbacks to this approach and it only works in Google.
I think the big question is around the nature of the business and proposition to the customer across the markets. For example, will the businesses operate effectively separately in each market? How much of the proposition is 'global' versus entirely local? Will you have different language versions for each site and completely different sites in time?
The more separate the businesses and customer propositions are, the more likely you should have country level TLDs with local language content etc. Effectively they are then completely separate sites and, from an SEO point of view, would stand alone and rank / be optimised separately.
I totally agree with the first 2 points, and (from what you've said) I'd go with the ccTLDs option. because:
- In some countries people respond much better to a local domain than in others
- SEO - it's going to clear to search engines which country you're focusing on
- Looking at comparitive businesses in those countries is the ".XX" a key part of their branding / marketing strategy? If so you'll probably gain more by following their lead - being more familiar.
- Assuming you're going to roll out customer support emails in the same way... much nicer to have email@example.com, and email@example.com, and firstname.lastname@example.com.
Also, be aware that there are geographic restrictions on who can buy country specific urls. And that those vary from country to country.
Hope that helps
Indium Web Management
We're all assuming that the original poster already owns the ccTLDs in each of his/her target markets. This is not always the case.
I agree that a ccTLD strategy can work very well, for the points raised above, but I don't think there is anything overtly negative about a subdomain strategy if it is well planned. Subdomains can be hosted in the individual countries and can also be configured seperately in Google's Webmaster Tools to inform G of where you'd like traffic from.
Another interesting point to think about is what to do in countries where more than one language is spoken. Which language would brand.be be written in? Belgians speak French or Dutch (and German to a lesser extent) depending on where you are in the country. A similar situation exists in Switzerland. What would you do? If you had Dutch language literature on your Belgian domain, would the two versions be suitably different to avoid be labelled as duplicate content in the eyes of Google?
Couldn't you have a subdomain strategy whereby your subdomains were targetted by language rather than by geographical location? nl.brand.com could be your Dutch language site and you could link to it (the subdomain) directly from other Dutch language sites, thus increasing its relevance for Dutch language keywords. Certainly food for thought, but's a tricky one!
Another point to think about is whether the brand name is actually relevant in each country. The 1800flowers.com brand will mean very little to the average Brit, for example.
Interesting points Brian, and I would agree with a lot of what you say.
Though could the subdomain set up using webmaster tools make the issue with multiple language countries worse? Could the geo-targetting tool exclude a site being returned from other, same language countries where it might otherwise be returned? I wouldn't be confident saying that it doesn't.
From what I can see Google is smart enough to return results according to your language prefernences with preference to local TLD.
If you search google.ch for example, there's an option to choose your language preference too, options being English, Italian, French, German and "romansch".
SERPs are in many cases similar with each option, but when choosing Italian language for example, a page in Italian from a .ch site will be returned ahead of the equivalent German page on the the same site (that is returned when searching with German language setting). Again, setting language as English sees results very similar to google.com, but with an apparent boost for .ch domains which would be expected.
Google's language detection functionality is very powerful, as users of the Chrome browser will have noticed.
...could the subdomain set up using webmaster tools make the issue with multiple language countries worse?
Quite possibly Miles! :-)
I'm not an SEO, and don't pretend to be, so was thinking of additional considerations that the original poster might need to think about.
You are right though, perhaps the 'WMT-geo-targetting-strategy' and the 'tailor-sub-domain-by-language-instead-of-location-strategy' might not be the best bed-fellows.
What would be your number one strategy for promoting a site to Belgian or Swiss users (without a .ch or .be domain - that's cheating! :-))?
My thoughts would be to register a .be or .ch domain, and make subdomains or subdirectories for each major language, and let Google and other search engines do the rest.
Eg -
I think an advantage of this is that it is likely future proof - it seems to me unlikely that changes to ranking algorithms could happen that would see this not being a sensible strategy down the line.
Brian I missed your point, without using a .ch or .be domain!
Well that's probably more tricky - I would say using a .com domain with a fr. or vlaams. subdomain, and just rely on language auto detection to match whatever preferences they have set. This would work worldwide too, but I think it would be harder to rank well and would stand out less in SERPs.

Birthday Dress Sept 1, 2012 17:44:40 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by nararabbit on Sept 1, 2012 17:44:40 GMT -5 Caroline's Birthday Dress was my least favorite of her pieces. The fabric is very thin, with a strange texture to it, sort of like those nubby t-shirts from Old Navy. The "decal" design on it looks pretty cheap IMHO, though as it's been pointed out on the forums, one could merely use it as a GUIDE and embroider on top. It is very detailed, so I imagine that it would be expensive to embroider, but I'd rather pay $6 more for that! The neckline on the dress is extremely cute, it does show the doll's body fabric for those who don't like that.The shoes it comes with are darling and the main reason I won't be returning it. They're shades of blue with a very low heel.

Anyway, the shoes are very cute and they fit over Felicity's meet stockings- which I put on my Charlotte (55) so she'd look more like Caroline, without the pantalettes of course since I only have the one pair and Caroline was wearing them.

I like the fabric. It is thinner but not poor quality - I think it was purposefully a thinner fabric because it was supposed to be a lightweight dress. I actually love the texture of the fabric too, it adds interest to the dress. I would have preferred embroidery as well, but I don't think the decals look tacky or anything. Grade: A-Shoes: Okay, I have to admit I was really worried these would look like a ridiculous 1812 version of saddle shoes. They are actually pretty cute in real life. I am still not totally in love with the colors because the lighter blue doesn't *quite* match up to the dress and so they just seem a little off. Also, I think a simpler shoe might have suited the dress better since it has so much detail going on already. I'm not sure if I will keep pairing the shoes with the dress but they will work great for mix-and-match. The shoes fit well, too. Grade: A-Overall Grade: A-

Birthday Dress Oct 4, 2012 21:38:04 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by Scarlett on Oct 4, 2012 21:38:04 GMT -5 I must agree that the fabric of this dress is different, but it is lightweight and textured, and kind of a nice change from plain cotton. The decals are what they are, but I don't find them too distracting. The bottom border of the design does extend around the back as well, which was something I was concerned about. That helps it to be a bit more believable, at least. Overall, I appreciate the look of this dress for it's realism. It's perfect for a special occasion, but it isn't over the top, and could be used as a practical every day dress, too. I love the fichu detail on the neckline. The two-toned shoes are very well made and have a laced look to them, as if the bow were really functional. Another grade A from me!Annie in Federalist Birthday Blue!

Birthday Dress Mar 4, 2013 0:49:47 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by sixthruler on Mar 4, 2013 0:49:47 GMT -5 I love this dress, and have to say it's my favorite of Caroline's outfits. A lot of the reason I love it is because of it's attention to historical detail. Some people complained about the texture/weight of the fabric, but it is supposed to represent the lightweight, gauze muslin that was popular during the regency era. In fact, the lighter and gauzier the fabric, the more prized it was at the time. Of course women would wear shifts and petticoats under the gowns, but the gowns themselves were often very sheer. I think it is absolutely elegant.The white fabric around the neck is supposed to look like the white scarves women would tuck into their bodices as a means to protect their chests from the cold climate, while still allowing them to wear the lightweight gowns. It looks classy, in my opinion.I was a bit disappointed when I first found out that the white floral detailing is not actual embroidery, but after seeing it in person, it looks lovely anyway. In pictures you can't even tell. Yes, it would be nice if it was actually embroidered, but I don't find it distracting or tacky looking at all. It still looks very pretty to me. The only thing I don't like about the outfit are the shoes. I think the color is unattractive, as it does not match the dress. Also, the shoes are difficult to get on over stockings, and any classy regency girl would have worn stockings with such a gown. The shoes are not bad as a stand-alone item to be worn with other outfits, even as ballet flats for a modern girl, but I don't like them with this dress.Overall, I give this dress an A. If the shoes were a different color, black even, I would give the ensemble an A+. The light blue is lovely on blonde dolls, but it also looks really nice on darker complected dolls like Josefina. It pairs well with Josefina's mantilla and the undergarments from her Christmas dress. I highly recommend this dress. For those of you on the fence, it looks truly beautiful in person. For those with an eye for historical detail, this dress is the one for you!

Up to 75 volunteers are needed to help with trail maintenance and other tasks at Placer County's Hidden Falls Regional Park on Saturday, June 5.
For the third year in a row, local volunteers will be helping to celebrate the American Hiking Association's National Trails Day. The event is being coordinated locally by Roseville's REI store, FATRAC – the Folsom Auburn Trail Riders Coalition and the Placer County Parks Division. Volunteerism has grown steadily, with 60 local volunteers participating last year.
"In addition to hikers and bikers, we often see family groups with several generations enjoying the outdoors together, two or three moms with strollers and youth groups in their uniforms. We're even told of small weddings out there from time to time. To hear that Hidden Falls connects with people for some of the most special moments of their lives is very special to us."
"Keeping trails in shape is an important responsibility," Fisher said. "We are grateful to have the support of the community in this project, and particularly appreciate REI for providing our volunteers with lunch and commemorative tee shirts."
Volunteers will assist with tasks such as trail corridor maintenance and fencing, and should bring hand pruning tools, work gloves and sturdy shoes.
After lunch, REI Outdoor School will conduct an Introduction to GPS Navigation Activity to those interested, so participants may want to bring their own GPS equipment.
The event begins at 8:30 a.m. and lasts until 12:30 p.m. Hidden Falls Regional Park is located at 7587 Mears Place, north of Mt.Vernon Road between Auburn and Lincoln.

Umhlanga's sumptuously revamped Oyster Box Hotel… now certified "SA-positive"
I was summoned at the weekend by The Oyster Box's Head Honcho to discuss his proposal for my weekend residency at the newly revamped colonial-style hotel, a veritable institution among old Natal hostelries.
Over the finest cream tea to be had anywhere, our residency agreement was speedily finalised. I mean, am I the biggest fan of the Oyster Box or what? I was hugely relieved to note that the recent refurbishment of this grand old lady of South African hotels has not in the slightest bit diminished her haughty yet laidback seaside grandeur.
When Head Honcho put on the table a kind offer for me to stay as their guest (any weekend I like) in a suite which, I imagine, very few other than Nelson Mandela get to see the inside of, it was a firm gentlemen's handshake, smiles all-round and a stiff gin and tonic and salted peanuts were waiting four-poster-side before Alfred had even dropped off my Vuittons.
Coolness. I was left to wander around the old girl, a hotel where my parents used to take me as a snotty-nosed sapling for a Coke Float and Chocnut Sundae way back in the day. So I swooned over the way Red Carnation Hotels have expertly blended in the new with the old, maintaining the dignity and character of Old Lady Oyster Box, and wielded the Canon 50D with no little relish.
OK. So I got a tad fixated on the old lighthouse, an Umhlanga icon situated directly in front of the hotel and a humungous source of wonderment to me as a child. This is how it all turned out…
Cool. I'll leave it there. Perhaps, if you all behave really well, I'll release i-marges of the Oyster Box's magnificent new decor d' interieur, pardon my Franglais, in a later post. Let's just say that I'm not at all displeased with the totally sick suite Head Honcho has thrown my way. Catch you in the Lighthouse Bar on Friday evening, Honch. I trust you'll have those G&Ts lined up on that bar of great splendidness. There's a good chap!
* Please feel free to help yourself to more info on the sumptuousness of the new Oyster Box by checking in here and/or here. Tell them Fred sent you.

This property is split up into two buildings. The main mansion contains the lobby and several other suites while we stayed at the property down the street in rooms 1A and 2A. Although I was concerned about this upon checking in the staff assured me our group would be pleased with our rooms and they were absolutely right. The rooms are more like modern condos with brand new appliances, cabinets and countertops. The location is perfect if you want peace and quiet. Both the Quarter and Frenchmen street are within walking distance but far enough away to avoid the noise and riff raff. We could not have booked a nicer place in this city for the price.
