In Fair Verona, Where We Lay Our Scene


Last night my mom took me to the ballet!
We saw Romeo & Juliet at Lincoln Center. It was absolutely gorgeous.
I generally dislike the story, but the movement and the costumes and scenery were so mesmerizing.


It's official... I am a published poet!
It's so odd seeing my name and my words in print, but in the best way possible.


Also... the most exciting thing has happened to me. Seriously.
I took the Teen Jeopardy qualifying test online about two months ago.
And yesterday I got an e-mail saying that I qualified to move on to the live auditions!
So in about a month I get to audition in New York City...
... and then maybe be on Jeopardy.
I am the happiest person alive!


Watch this piece. Just watch it.
It's really fantastically done. I am eternally grateful to 60 Minutes for driving home the point that fashion is not painfully stupid and requires an unbelievable amount of dedication.
Anna Wintour looks like such a teddy bear with her sunglasses off!

In honor of my first ballet... soft neutrals, basic silhouettes, and striking, sensual black details.
