My Audrey Hepburn Obsession Began Before I Knew Who She Was...
So, everyone was sending youtube clips and whatnot tonight, and eventually, Whitney Houston's "I'm Your Baby Tonight" came up.
This single/video came out in 1990, so I was 4 or 5 years old depending on the month. I had no idea who Audrey Hepburn was until I was maybe 8 or 9 or so, but for some reason, I always loved the part of "I'm Your Baby ( Read more... ) -
I <3 Concerts!
I'm at home now, for winter break. But the like next to last week of school, I saw Bonnie Raitt at school. She came to Memorial Hall as part of the Carolina Concert Series or whatever.

WAR OF THE WORLDS!!!
I went to see "War of the Worlds" tonight...sooooo incredible! Seriously, that move keeps you from beginning to end. I mean, I thought it would be good, but it was more than good. I'm fine now, but while I was in there I was kinda getting scared, haha. Not really scared, but just thinking - oh man, if something like that really happened, would I be ( Read more... ) -
Yay for Lena Horne...
Lena Horne's birthday was Wednesday, I think? Or maybe Tuesday. She turned 88. And today, she was on the rerun of "A Different World." It made me happy because she's such a great icon and role model, especially for what I wanna do. I wish that one day I could play her in a movie...obviously my appearance would have to change (i.e. improve) ( Read more... )
