1. i auditioned for ase dance theater collective this evening and all the stress and fatigue i've been feeling melted away. there were several moment tonight where i found myself on the brink of tears or feeling uncontrollably happy. i was an incredibily inspiring audition and even if i don't get the gig, i'm happy have had the opportunity to leave with so many seeds.
2. i think i'm going to make it a habit to improv more often. i always feel so relaxed and receptive after improving. another resolution maybe?
3. there's an exclusive, agency-only audition for a dream gig this weekend. it happens to be an eight-hour audition... for which i've not submitted any materials and i'm not certain i'll even be permitted to participate since i'm not with the agency called... and i don't even have a dance agent. decisions. decisions.

out of the city: philly
one down, eleven to go! i spent my first venture outside of new york hanging with my home girl in philly. though the temperature was frigid and much of the sites to see wear closed on sunday, i still had a good time chatting, dinning and exploring. we did a lot of window shopping and then eating. a few of my favorite things ;)
the first thing i noticed was how attractive the men in philly are. just my steez--cool, brown, and furry faced. other than that, it's close enough to new york in terms of it's public transportation, performing art scene, and cool kid culture, that i'd considered making the city my home. i'll be back in philly soon, if not for the men, then most certainly the dance opportunities. i was so happy to discover philadephiadance.org. i've already found a guest teaching job that i want to submit for. now that i've seen how easy and inexpensive it is to travel to philly (i ♥ bolt bus), i think i'll be aiming for work there real soon. stay tuned...

New Photos at Coney Island!
I found a photographer on Model Mayhem a few weeks ago, and I really dig her work. We met up and took new pics at Coney Islan (which I'm a ashamed to say I hadn't visited since I was about 7 years old). I gotta say, chemistry is everything! Though she was polite, we just didn't click and I was uncomfortable and I think you can see that in the pictures. She's young, so I'll cut her some slack, but I was really disappointed by the number of useless shots I ended up with and the number of imperfections in the workable shots. Take a look and leave your thoughts.

Weekend in Boston
I spent the weekend in Boston with family. My twin cousin graduated from college. I saw family I hadn't seen in too long and family I could've gone without seeing for a few more years. I had way too much to eat and I hardly slept a wink, but it was a joy to be there.
Boston is a cool little city. It's got nothing on New York, of course, but it's cool in its own ways. I want to take a longer trip up to explore. While I was down there, this fly bella named Martini of beyondbostonchic.blogspot.com stopped me on the subway and complimented me on my ensemble. She took my photo and posted me to her blog. I was MAD gassed the entire trip back to New York! Here's a link to the post. I'm wearing my adorable taupe and chocolate striped silk buttoned down halter dress with matching vegan peep toe espadrilles and a cute green knit cropped trapeze cardigan. I looked adorable than mug... if I do say so.

a weekend in images
went out to celebrate sams and sharon's birthdays and got myself a little puma reunion. I have a crush on the guy licking my face. I'd let him do that all day.
Celebrating Kelley and Ryan separate birthdays. I can't remember which party was who's, but I love these fools :)
Finally preciosa Lenée celebrated the day of her arrival on this earth at my favorite Brooklyn spot Bembe.
