An American in Paris: Day 1
Ok, now you know how I made it to Paris. Friday, December 29th, 2017 But I’ll bet you’re wondering what I got up to when I finally made it over there. Before I even left for Paris, I created a very tentative list of things I wanted to do, along with a vague outline of…

Thrift Store Cosplay Day 9
Day 9: Fairy Godmother from Disney’s Cinderella (1950) Everyone’s always giving all the love to the Disney Princesses, ok…I know…me included. But what about the supporting characters who make the Princesses’ stories happen. Like…for example…Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother.

& The City
It’s been almost 2 years since I moved away from New York City. Some days it feels like just yesterday that I was walking the concrete jungle and trying to find my way in the city of dreams. And other days, the whole 8+ years I lived there feel themselves, like a dream. I haven’t…

On the Subject of…
High School. Recently I have been binge watching the, sadly, short-lived Carrie Diaries (only 2 seasons…sad face.) And like all the teen dramas I’ve enjoyed in my life (Dawson’s Creek, The OC, One Tree Hill, etc) watching it makes me feel like maybe I missed something. I never had a first kiss in high school…

What Coulda Been…
On Saturday evening, I got rear ended. Thank God my car wasn’t damaged and I only ended up with minor whiplash, all in all not a big deal. But here’s what coulda been… The guy coulda pulled over, checked to see if I was ok, if my car was ok. We coulda exchanged numbers. It…
