June. Bam.
Here we are mid-year kind of! It’s a been a busy one so far, between acting, teaching, and helping my DH with his knee recovery. It’s also been uncharacteristically chilly here in Los Angeles. It hasn’t felt like spring, or at least the spring of my memory…But it’s this year’s spring, so spring it is. […]

I’ve been loving dressing for these in between times — thoughtfully choosing the items that, together, signal this threshold time.

squirts, gushes & the occasional whiff
Hiya, mates! During these last few weeks in Los Angeles, it’s been alternatingly raining hard and shining brightly. Literally, and quite possibly figuratively. But there’s a lot of beauty in those natural displays most of the time. On the acting front, I had my first commercial avail of the year – that’s like a big […]

Hey 19
Happy New Year! I had some sweet holiday times with close family and powerful theater back east. And now it’s back to LA and all that that entails. Some performance highlights were seeing the off-broadway play “Daniel’s Husband” (sadly in its final days) and the musical “The Band’s Visit” (I loved it so much), not […]

As actors, it can sometimes be hard to say goodbye to the characters we play. Especially when they land in a sweet spot of our psyches. Such was the case with Janine. Janine, the fun, cool mom to the titular “Premenstrual Margot” played by the marvelous Giselle Torres. One of the visual details of the […]

Sweet Home (#tiredandgrateful)
It’s catch up time after a month of intense work. The commercial shoot was incredibly fun, and the film had its out of town challenges with long days and outdoor scenes in sweltering temps. But we all got through it, thanks to everyone’s dedication and commitment. The crew was so helpful protecting the cast from […]
