Amazing photoshop job!

This photo would be worth a million if it were real.

I often wonder what Jimmy thought of Marilyn and vice versa.

He didn't mesh well with the male gender platonically but with women it was effortless.

This is not a love story...it's a story about love.



“You can’t describe great cosmic significance to a simple, earthly event. Coincidence, that’s all anything ever is; nothing more than coincidence. There are no miracles, there’s no such thing as fate. Nothing is meant to be.”

Mia Michaels: Addiction



If you're a fan of "So You Think You Can Dance" then you are no stranger to this routine.

Mia Michaels choreographed this heart-breaking piece for Kayla and Kupono to bring to life.

The basis of the piece is a woman fighting a malevolent addiction.

Literally watching it brings me to tears each time.

The song is beautiful (Sarah Bareilles, "Gravity") and the movement that correlates with the aching desire to kick the habit of unhealthy dependency is executed to perfection. This is a total sensory overload. The sound and lyrics of Sarah's ballad, the physical movement, the facial expressions of the dancers bring you into a place you'd rather not go.

Never have I battled substance abuse, but I have battled being addicted to a relationship. One that ended up not being healthy for me at that moment due to its circumstances. No matter what method I tried I came back, just to feel good for a short while. The temporary thin layer of happiness was worth more than my ultimate long term well being. In the end it absolutely wasn't, I suffered more in the long run. But the feeling of not being able to shake what has a hold of you can't be described as anything else but heart-breaking.

Watch this a million times. You won't be sorry.

Beautiful. Masterpiece.

XOXO,

Tia 

Mariel Martin: "Puttin' on the ritz"



And this cemented why Mariel is one of my absolute favorite choreographers.

Paying homage to the greats of Old Hollywood.

Anyone who hasn't seen a Gene Kelly film needs to add that to their "to-do" list.

His presence is undeniable and his talent is astounding.

Whenever I feel myself fall out of love with dance, I watch Mariel's videos and it reminds me of why I loved it in the first place.

Watch and enjoy!

xoxo,

Tia

Can't nobody love you like yourself!



Someone for the love of Bret Michaels, buy me this set!

My love affair with the Addams family is insatiable.

Why we love John Krasinski.



Because who doesn't love John Krasinski.

He's funny, witty, intelligent and sweet.

Add his character Jim to the boy next door club with Noah from "The Notebook" and Cory from "Boy Meets World".

And I adore this photo of him.

Reminds me of the photos James Dean took in New York.

Best smile on network televison.

Ahhhh John Krasinski,

WE LOVE YOU!

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Rubyyyyyy!!

Mac's Ruby Woo lipstick is probably my favorite lipstick of all time.

I always get asked what shade of red lipstick I wear and I can't refer the product enough.

It's beautiful against all skin tones and lip shapes. Even my gargantuan kissers can rock it!

If you're feeling fancy or want to spice up an average outfit, Ruby Woo is the perfect choice!

Not too red or orange. Just the perfect tint!

XOXO,

Tia
