Broke.

I’ve been making some questionable financial decisions lately. (See “But that bathing suit is Marc Jacobs, and it actually looks super cute on me! Originally $150 and up, found at Marshall’s for $49! And the other one is cute too! I cannot decide! I shall transfer $100 from my Emergency Account and buy them both and maaaaaybe I’ll return one later once I decide...

Victory! Gymboree Bans Use of Uzbek Cotton →

I work for Gymboree Play & Music (as a Teacher, not in retail), and I was pissed when I learned that the corporation was using cotton from Uzbekistan, which is harvested usingchild labor. Which is fucked up. BUT then I researched this further and found that after thousands of letters of petition were sent to Mama Gymboree (Inc.), they no longer use ironic-tragi-cotton. Good for you! (Us?)

White Tiger and the Bed of Roses →

…is my favorite band name of all time. I saw them at Kraken Fest on Saturday and they blew my mind. I think the lineup may have changed since the stuff on the myspace page was recorded—there was a chick playing saxophone and a different (gorgeous) drummer last weekend.

Jonquil →

I saw Jonquil perform at Local 506 back in March. It was a Wednesday and there were approximately 3 people in the audience including me, and I felt very lucky to see this band that I had previously never heard of. They’re from Oxford, UK, currently on a US tour, and just signed to NYC’s Dovecoat Records. I loved their music and adorably floppy hair.

My New Year's Resolution Was To Blog

I’d like to have more of a focus to this little blog, and since it’s been about a year since I posted, the time is probably ripe to start anew. This is a huge year for me with many changes. To name a few: I quit smoking. I started a Yoga Teacher Training course, and I’ve become a vegetarian and have been doing yoga every day for the past month as a result. I learned to love...
