The best, most beautiful wedding (or any event... →
These ladies, based in Nashville, made my husband’s and my wedding announcements, which were custom, gorgeous, perfect, heartfelt and something like $250 total. We didn’t have a wedding so it was important to us that our announcements felt right. And the Nesting Project team did an absolutely stunning job.
I was just reminded of them because they sent an email about a fundraiser...

Found this panel on @thegothamgal’s blog, which I love, and wanted to re-post it (even though it’s an hour long) because it’s a great antidote to all the parenting insanity that I feel dominates the playgrounds and mommy and me groups these days. I can’t compare parenting today to any other time in history but I think it’s fucking hard now, what with 10,000 books on...

This is such a better time than that Slaughter article in The Atlantic though I applaud the author for sharing her thoughts. Our culture has a back-assward approach toward women, family, health care, work-life balance, you name it. So the only way to even begin to win is to create your...

newmediamama:
This is one of the most positive things I’ve seen come out of the whole “let’s start Christmas shopping in October” nonsense. A really phenomenal woman entrepreneur, Tereza Nemessanyi (founder of Honestly Now), had the idea that since everyone IS going to shop at some point between now and…

Here’s the whole story…
Here’s my favorite excerpt:
Ridiculousness and inappropriateness are often the very foundation of humor,” Judge Philip Simon of Indiana wrote. ” The provocative context of these young girls horsing around with objects representing sex organs was intended to contribute to the humorous effect in the minds of the intended teenage audience. But...

– - Mark Ruffalo (at the Oscar’s Luncheon)
This is one of many references I’ve seen him make to his “struggling” actor days, which I think is awesome and I’m a little bit in love with him for it. Its funny how rarely you hear successful actors mention this period of their lives.

I don’t have cable so I, literally, can’t watch most of the shite on television but this Rachel Zoe person is fantastic. She’s in on the joke (I hope) and it’s sublime.

I don’t agree with what fspublishing is saying because I do think that women-led projects should be evaluated in the same way as non-women led projects but that recruitment is the issue, however, I love a dissenting opinion so I’m reblogging hers. Also, I love her tumblr theme. :)

words to live by in 2010
Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Finally...
Finally booked my first commercial in LA!
With this guy: http://www.dga.org/multimedia/honors-03/pages/aboutpytka.html
He’s known for being, shall we say, gruff? with both actors and crew on set (for the sake of the art!) and is, of course, the busiest commercial director in the world.
It’s a Hallmark holiday commercial, we shot it last week and it’s set to a John Mayer song.
