target, it was spectacular.

Target's Kaleidoscope Fashion Spectacular at the Standard Hotel the other night was AMAZING. This event raised the bar for all fashion/public performance events (anywhere) in the future. To my knowledge, nothing like this has ever been done in NYC. It was truly impressive and best seen live but this video gives you a taste. It was, indeed, spectacular – a massive undertaking from a production standpoint. I absolutely loved that dancers were involved – 66 of them! The whole thing was definitely a cheeky nod to The Standard Hotel's guests' reputation of exhibitionism. Clever! It was pulled off perfectly. Below are some stills. Photos by my friend Dave Pinter who attended the event with me. This is precisely the type of inspiring stuff that I will miss about New York!

on dancing and dreaming

I was incredibly moved by my dance teacher's company's performance last weekend. Not only was it so beautiful and exciting,
I have a great deal emotional connection to dance as well. Watching the same style of dance that I study (Horton) being performed 
is unbelievably inspiring. I took photos until I was told I was not permitted. I sat so close to the dancers that I could hear every breath
they took during the performance. It made the experience that much more intense. I could have continued to watch the dancers
performing for hours. I am far from being at the skill level these dancers are at. It was lovely to dream for a moment, of trying to
attain it. These photos don't even begin to capture the energy of a live performance. If you've never seen one, I highly recommend it.
