This necklace (Vera Wang) inspires me to be more playful.

In the meantime I am trying my hand at some poetry. It's not going too well, but I think it will be a good replacement for my therapy that I decided to end this week.

Today's recommended reading is: "Walking to Martha's Vineyard" by Franz Wright.

Not The Typical GPF, but highly recomended...

Michael Angelo Ruffino -- Check it out!

No, he isn't a painter of the Italian Renaissance, but an artist none the less...
You can check his music out on iTunes or buy the album on CD BABY (they also do a better job of describing the album than I would)

Keep an eye out for his next album, coming soon!!!! A concept album based around experiences/observations "behind the Orange Curtain" (aka Orange County, California).

If you need something with a little more passion and a little more conviction on your play list - bring it on with this Italian dark horse.

IBS -- Hair and Beauty Show in New York

I was a model over the weekend for this show thing. Can you tell they added in hairs that arent my own? The purple ones may give it away a little. :)
