all-white everything

so theres this all-white party in a few weeks. major deal to me because my attendance is only to support a friend. :) so on the search for the past few trying to decide on "a look". with no such luck. was thinking a simple white dress with major shoes & accessories. but couldnt find the perfect l.w.d. & this night doesnt quite call for "simple gal" anyway. so thanks to catching up on the blogs tonight-the wheels started turning...

stranded

but smile with the eyes. she. so when i close my eyes tonight. maybe i wont be so angry:

my little secret/ let them both be great

ok. me and the person you know as "bey" had a falling out sometime last november when she forced me to buy the deluxe edition of [hold on googling name] i am...sasha fierce album. and yes i had to google the forgettable title. but looks like me and miss "i wanna thank him for putting a ring on it" are back in business. thank you very much lady and bey. thank you.

[pause music to the left...and go!]

:best twitter quote of the night @solangeknowles @blacksocialite. ouch! (solo, your sister is giving me the business right now. slap the shit outta her for me, please.)
thanks to curtis childs for the link!

national dress up day

never posted my lonely halloween pics. whatashame. i was the kid who didnt really celebrate the holiday growing up. fast forward to attending the "arts"school and halloween was taken veryseriously. art students. 3 of us diy'd our own powerpuff girl costumes and came to school dressed as the cartoon superchicks. the funniest thing about that was i had to take the bus to the neighborhood hs first and well-they didnt celebrate as we did. insert a lot of strange looks, and random comments. bedifferentbiches. the tallest kid in school was wheres waldo. rip patrick. that pic landed in my long lost yearbook. ah high school. the goodoledays.

i want this forever-mayn

sarah jones

i remember sarah jones from her Broadway show Bridge&Tunnel. she recently spoke at the TED conference in which i was reintroduced to her one woman acts and her incredible talent as an actress and a performer. watch sarah introduce you to her jewish friend lorraine devine, dominican fast talker noretta, pauline ling and a host of other characters. enjoy.

russian roulette

not condoning any violence, self harm or any other seriously disturbing scenarios. just wached this vid and my first thought was, this girl is officially off her rocker. but the video, directed by anthony mandler, is very very well done.

tweeps

ok. you may now follow me @toirajames. someone took " toira" which is what i would have liked. and how dare they have my name. anyhoo i had my real name as my twitter [in which i reluctantly joined] but it was for the beginning stages of branding self as actress. but because things are currently slow in that world. will wait until my tweets are of substance such as the jobs i am booking the audis i am attending. which is the reason i didnt want to joint to begin with. it was too soon. nevertheless i like my blog and my blog name and will attempt to start to focus on this slightly more. hence

nano writing month

that time of the year. not that i've done this before but november is national novel writing month. from nov 1-30 you have 30 days to write a 50000 word novel. can you do it? we're going to try over here. but im all ready 4 days behind, have hella deadlines besides this AND we do have a job and "aspiring never sleeps" but i have to get these creative juices flowing and what better way to do it than speed writing. this is about as strenuous as my full length screenplay at 17. but we did it! now if i could only find that disk. well i spose i should stop wasting words on this and get to it now....just hope writers block doesnt decide to kick in. now.
