Not-Wordless Wednesday: Calf-Stretchy

This is a piece of the sidewalk that runs in front of our house. It's been knocked askew by the big tree on the right:

I love it: it's nature's place to stretch your calves.

(Honestly, this picture mainly exists to show off my cute new shoes. And I had to damn near turn myself upside down to take this picture....outdoors....on the sidewalk....at 8am. Because my neighbors don't think I'm weird enough.)

Not-Wordless Wednesday PART TWO! Tulips and Tutus

I just moved to the best neighborhood in the entire universe, a.k.a. the Houston Heights. I live down the street from this adorable shop called Tulips and Tutus. I went in there today to buy a my friend's little girl a birthday gift, but once I got home I just couldn't resist:



P.S. I will have you know that that tutu is a child's size six...and it fits me. Have I mentioned that being tiny copletely rocks? I will say this, though: I'm sure glad I was home alone when I took this picture. There is nothing like trying to explain to everyone that nope, I'm just running around the house in a bright-green tutu for blogging's sake.

Check out Tulips and Tutus-- 833 Studewood Street in Houston. It's the cutest little store. I met the owner there today (Judith Meyers), she's really nice and she wears the prettiest bracelets I've ever seen.

P.P.S. Don't tell Shelby that I wore her tutu, okay?

P.P.P.S. I should have worn some tights. Or some makeup. Sorry, kids. I will look cuter next time.

Not-Wordless Wednesday: Kitri Times Two

This is Kiti, my pet mouse, standing in front of a picture of me dancing the role of Kitri in Kathleen Magyar's production back in 2005. It was so meta and so cute, I just had to share.

I sincerely apologize for the lack of updates, y'all. I was having Server Issues that just got resolved today. I even got an e-mail from Mama Butterfly, asking me to PLEASE JUST UPDATE ALREADY (Speaking of which....guess who's coming to Texas in thirty-six days to see Alice in Wonderland? I'm unbelievably excited. Yay, Mama B!)

(I want to note that the original photo was taken by Pat Flaherty-Kastelnik of Bethlehem, PA. Thanks for not suing, me, Pat!)

Wordless Wednesday: Sweet Feet

(I love wearing these socks over my ballet shoes when I'm warming up. I wish I could tell you where I got them, but it's been so long I honestly don't remember.)

Not-Wordless Wednesday: More Bob Warren

Don't worry, I'm preparing a review of a dance show and some Alice's Adventures in Wonderland stories for your amusement. I'm also dealing with a great deal of upheaval here at Upstage Left, so for right now I'm just going to have to phone it in.

See this picture? It was taken by Bob Warren, who I've mentioned before. This is a cool picture, and what makes it even cooler is not the fact that I'm in it, but that I'm wearing a dress from a performance in my junior year of high school. I think I deserve a high-five.

Wordless Wednesday: Finally, a naked picture of me

Well, kind of.Photo credit: Robert Thoth. Shamelessly ganked from here. Please don't sue me.

Edited to add: If you missed it, this is what NFUL looked like on April 1st.

Not-Wordless Wednesday: RJ Warren Photos

I recently started modeling again, and a few weekends ago I had to pleasure to be photographed by Bob Warren, a Houston photographer who I've had the honor of working with several times in the past. I recently got a chance to see the images, and in the spirit of unabashed narcissism I wanted to share a couple of shots with you. Bob is awesome!

(Yay, new headshot!)

(We did several sets/costume changes/lighting methods. As you can see the blue skirt/black background was among my favorites :> )

Thanks, Bob!
