pas de deux
did i ever tell you i used to dance ballet? i got pretty serious into it, was in nutcracker a bunch of years, & swan lake...then 'boys' entered my brain and i was forever distracted and wanted to hang out at school more often than go downtown and take ballet...
(sortta regret that i ever stopped)
gorgeous...to be able to be that flexible again would be so nice
after so many years dancing..at least i will always know the positions, posture, and routines..ahh to be in a tu tu..love..
so i went to see Black Swan Last night...first of all i needed to digest what i had seen before i could comment on it...secondly, i could have done without some of the 'horror' aspects of it
(i laughed at some of those scenes)...BUT i highly recommend it. Natalie portman was so beautiful as was Mila Kunis..
i adored the costumes, her shrugs and leg warmers.. the film really captured the real discipline it takes to be a dancer...
do i dare try and take up lessons again..?

somewhere
why isn't this movie out yet? DYING to see it...Sofia is brilliant and i love how the trailer has no dialogue..just the sweetest song by the Strokes "i'll try anything once"...watch if you haven't seen it yet!
it makes you think, take time for what is important....& time for me to stay at the chateau marmont... (opening dec.22nd)

get up and dance
image here
at every family get together there is a dance-off, where my mom always takes the spot light and takes the cake for best dancer..& the best part of going to hear live music is so you can shake it a little...dancing is such a release!
when i ran across this video at Sarah's blog i had to re-post it..it made my day, thanks sarah!! some of those flicks especially white nights with Gregory Hines and Mikhail Baryshnikov ...wasn't that the best flick ever..?! flashdance..ohh i can't even tell you how much i used to re-do all her dancing scenes in my bedroom..dirty dancing is ohh so good..john travolta, no problem moving his hips..you gotta LOVE a guy who can dance!
(the only 2 movies it was missing: xanadu and staying alive)
i hope this makes you tap your toes just a wee bit ..have a happy day

180 south
"the conquerors of the useless..the adventure is when something goes wrong"
want to watch some beautiful cinematography, following Jeff Johnson's quest to retrace the climb that Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins did in Patagonia in 1968..
this is a beautiful film and the soundtrack is great as well..makes you think about LIVING simply and really going for some wild (whatever it may be) adventure..

i saw this preview and i got teary..maybe its that every film miss. julia shows up in it hits me..(except for valentines day--that stunk) I am thinking more along the lines of notting hill..anyway..
i am not much of a reader, but i read this book cover to cover and fast not wanting it to end & I read it at the right time in my life..and now seeing that julia will be the lead character...well lets just say i will be at the theatre alone with a box of tissues..
i am missing adventure..i want to plan a trip back to india again for work but also for some exploring..maybe stay at an ashram and learn to meditate like Elizabeth did..those were funny parts..i have done the EAT part just fine..need to do some PRAYING and some find some LOVE..
