A great article on being an artist and a mother. Complete with spectacular analysis of second wave feminist, Simone de Beauvoir!

If you haven’t already check out our Eat Well Wednesday post for this week!

Check out my version of the recipe:

If you don’t have the “toasted oats,” you can substitute cereal! BUT, use less peanut butter/honey so it doesn’t overpower the oats

There’s only a couple of weeks left to check out the Picasso Black and White exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts! I went this afternoon and it was FANTASTIC!

TOMORROW at 4pm there is a lecture entitled: Variations on a Theme: Pablo Picasso and Revisiting Old & Modern Masters that is a great way to learn a little more about Picasso and his work before you see the real thing in person! I found the lecture informative and made me appreciate the art all the more.

Great article from Dance Advantage on the positive aspects of dancing barefoot. Do you prefer dancing barefoot? In socks? Shoes?

So many prettyyyy dresses… check out the best and worst dressed from the Golden Globes! Which one is your favorite? Leave a comment below! Obviously J.Lo is my fav!

I’m addicted to YouTube dances and this week I fell in love with a new dance company. Check out the beautiful dancing from the Mather Dance Company!

I’m graduating this week from Rice! In honor of this I thought I’d share this fun article on the 16 most famous kids in college. The beautiful Emma Watson is my favorite on the list – which is your’s?

I worked up quite the sweat last night at the second of four Master Classes with Erin Reck at Rice University!  There are two more next week on Tuesday and Thursday that you don’t want to miss; it’s a great contemporary technique class with a wonderful warmup and unique phrase taught in the middle.

speaking of Rice… COME SEE me dance in the Rice Dance Theatre Spring Show Organic Motion! Rumor has it that Frame Director, Lydia Hance, will be there Saturday night!

I’m still obsessed with these two, featured them a couple of months ago for Links We Like but I have to do it again.  Another fabulous duet featuring Emily Shock and Matt Luck! I should be embarrassed to admit this but I actually stalked Emma’s twitter.

Hey Framers!

For this Links We Like Friday we’re going to be pretty self-involved and focus on one link we LOVE (plus I’ve been in vacation mode due to my Easter Recess, so my web surfing has been ironically minimized…):

Frame Director, Lydia Hance, named one of Houston’s top 100 creatives!

A well deserved honor indeed! Let’s give it up to Lydia!

And what would make her happier than buying a ticket to our SOIREE that is less than two weeks away!?

Nothing.

Buy your ticket here!

HAPPY FRAME FRIDAY!
