My friend performed at Smalls Jazz Club a couple of nights ago. I wasn't able to go make it, but I did get to watch the show online. Smalls shows a live stream of there shows, so I was happy to be there in spirit.

Campaign for L'atelier de la Petite Dame Summer Pop-Up
Hello all,
So if you follow L'atelier de la Petite Dame's FB page then you already know that I was working a fundraiser in preparation of this summers pop-up shop. Well the time is here!! Yesterday the campaign went live. It took alot of planning and even more writing, but I'm very happy with it. This campaign is very important to me and this business. This small step will get me closer to fulling my dreams of becoming self-employed.
I'm trying to raise $1000. $500 goes towards a Pro membership at 3rd Ward, and $500 goes towards classes and material fees. I can't stress how important this campaign is to me. This small step leads me one step closer in following my dreams in becoming self-employed. Here's how you can help: A donation of any value is greatly appreciated! But helping doesn't stop there. After you've donated take another minute and share the campaign with you friends and family. I made a video breaking down how I have 366 friends on Facebook and what it would mean if the donated $5. Don't just share once, statistics show that you have to reach out 7 times before people are moved to act.
Here is a short video describing all there is to know about the campaign:
Go check out the campaign page for more info, and don't forget to donate and share!
A la Prochaine!

Video of the Day: Changing Education Paradigms
Hello class,
Lets begin today's lesson with this quote: "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." -Albert Einstein
Now watch this:
Then reading this here.
My thoughts/rambles:
When it comes to my schooling I've always felt frustrated. I've always felt like I was stupid because I couldn't learn the way I was "supposed" to be. If anyone was actually paying attention when I was younger they probably would have tried to slap an ADHD label on me but they weren't. Which I'm marginally thankful for fyi.
In my case since no one was paying attention I simple through up some walls and held up shop in my head. In the video above Sir Ken Robinson explains the difference between a aesthetic and an anaesthetic experience. With no one around to wake me UP I had a very anaesthetic experience in school.
Sir Robinson also talks about how the current system was made for a different age. When he said this I snorted loudly and through in a nice "NO SHIT" for good measure. I think it's been quite clear for sometime now that the way the educational system is set up isn't right. Now I feel like I should mention here since I'm hating on the system that I'm currently applying to go back to school(I've been out for one semester). Everyday I wake up and ask myself "Why?" I don't think that a formal education = a job in this day and age (actually I know it doesn't) BUT I'm holding on to the hope that:
- I'm not going to be waisting my time
- That some how, even if I don't get a degree, I'll learn something that can help me survive in this economy.
But enough about me. There are some key points that Sir Robinson said that I wanted to point out:
- Great learning happens in groups. Collaboration is the stuff of growth.
- Anaesthetic: shutting your senses off; deaden yourself to whats happening.
- We are getting our children through education by anaesthetising them.
- We should be waking them UP to whats inside of themselves.
Now class....what do you have to say?
A la prochaine!

Sunday Morning Music: Catherine Feeny
I was feeling very blue last week(or was it weeks?). It was very confusing to go to sleep one day literally vibrating with happiness, just to wake up and feel horrible! With no idea why. But that was then, and I'm feeling much better now!

Video of the Day: Sexy Girls have it Easy
I like this video and think it is accurate. Your treated differently based on how you look. This goes for males too. Though I think she acted more confidently when she was dolled up. I don't believe she did this on purpose. Subconsciously she was probably expecting to be treated a certain way because of how she looked. We've(us women) all been there, no? What do you guys think?

Video of the Day: A Hill in Spain
Soon I'm going to become a biking member of NYC. I promise that I will wear a helmet and will never attempt to do stunts off of hills and rocks. Never the less this I find this video awesome! While I'm trying to get the confidence to bike in the street there are people biking of hills. In Spain no less!

Sunday Music: The Runaways
Recently I watched The Runaways starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. I have to say, though I wasn't expecting too, I really enjoyed this movie! It is based on the story of the all-girl rock band that rose to fame in the last 1970s. The Runaways became a hit in 1977 thanks to there single "Cherry Bomb" in Japan.
So I have two videos today, both are of the there single "Cherry Bomb". The first video is of The Runways in Japan in 1977.
The second is from the movie(embedding has been disabled click link). I gained some respect for both the lead actresses, and if you watch both videos I think you might see why.

Bob Marley on a Sunday Morning
Morning All!
When I started this post it was going to be all Bob Marley. All(or most) of the videos of Bob Marley performing live that I want to post I couldn't get the code to embed. So this post became a tribute to Mr. Marley.

Sunday Morning Music: The Tramps
The first thought I had this morning was "Burn baby burn!" Followed by a quick shake of my hip bones and a snap of my fingers. Probably due to the fact that I listen to this song right before I fell asleep last night. This looks like one of the first music videos made back in 1976. I love it none the less for its old-timey feel! Lets not forget the music. I love disco, and have always wanted to go to Baby Loves Disco. I might plan a trip to go boogie here for my 23rd birthday!
