Genius. Just genius.

The trailer is a bit ADHD at times but the minute the music played, I was instantly and inexplicably drawn. Didn’t know who was doing the soundtrack, looked it up --TRENT REZNOR. Mmhhmm, he’s definitely a true music soul mate. For life.

Art in the Streets, Part Two.

Warning: Picture Overload.

Art in the Streets

Street art went indoors at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. Here are just some of the amazing works of art I was lucky enough to have seen up close. It truly was an awesome experience. More pics soon.

Dreams

"The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened." ---Oprah Winfrey

These dream-like double exposures can easily fool the eye. It might look like photography, but these pieces are actually paintings.

Wistful, mysterious, surreal, and oh-so AH-mazing. Le sigh.

Oh, my life
Is changing every day
In every possible way

And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you

And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

I want more
(Impossible to ignore, impossible to ignore)
And they'll come true
(Impossible not to do, impossible not to do)

And now I'll tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find

A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Lately, life has been more of this...


...instead of these...

Angel of Music

Date with sisters and Mom at The Pantages Theatre in Hollywood for The Phantom of the Opera. I’ve been obsessed with this play since forever. How obsessed, you ask? Like, read-the-book-and-memorized-EVERY-damn-song obsessed. When the movie came out, I literally had goosebumps the entire time that I had to watch it two more times to make sure I didn’t miss a thing.





Sigh. If I can combine The Phantom and Raoul in one man, I will be a very, very happy gal. How’s that for obsession?
