I love the way they filmed this. ”Meet Me At the Moon” by Emma Hill and Her Gentlemen Callers.
A New Star In Development!
January 26, 2010 By 2 Comments
I often find it a treat to discover new artists on the internet. Watching them develop over time, honing in on skills and finding their niche along the way. One such delight is Shannon Blystone. I started listening to Shannon on You Tube about two years ago. Her channel is oconvideo.
Here is a new star in development!
Check out her songs. She’s quite good. You can also find out more about her here: http://www.oconnorrecords.com
Shannon is definitely someone I would like to see in the more mainstream media. I look forward to the day I hear her on the radio or see her walking the red carpet. It can happen. I used to listen to Colbie Calait on my space way back before she had her first cd out. Now she’s well known for her talent. Shannon, is on her way up!
Bang!

I like Danny Noreiga. He’s beautiful. The song was one of my favorites when I was a kid.

Beautiful and absolutely amazing! 4 different people working on the same digital canvas at the same time. This is something to sit back, relax and take in. Very enjoyable.
Real Live Women

I thought it was silly how all the media was making a big deal about Jessica Simpson putting on a few pounds. I think she just chose an unflattering outfit. And if Jessica were to put on weight would that mean she would no longer be worthy of our attention?
I have been following a channel on YouTube called Project Lifesize. It is a collaboration channel that was started by Meghan Tonjes.
Meghan started the channel as a way for people who felt overlooked and unloved due to their size to feel worthy. The channel covers issues such as eating disorders, self respect and relationships, as well as love and acceptance of people regardless of what size they are.
Meghan has also proven to be a talented songwriter and artist. She is about to launch a record album of her songs.
Friendships

Author Kelly Corrigan wrote this moving essay about women’s remarkable capacity to support each other, to laugh together, and to endure. The full text is available in the paperback edition of her memoir,The Middle Place
, on sale December 23, 2008.
This essay reminds me of the friendships that I have developed over the years. Growing up as a military brat, we moved about every 2 years so I was unable to develop longstanding relationships. Though I do have to point out that the bonds of the military families that I grew up with were strong. It was that we had to leave them that was painful and many lost touch with us. I do have a couple of friends from my childhood but not many. It wasn’t until I lived here in the same town for the last 20 years that I have friendships that have lasted as long.
Some people have come and gone in my life. I”ve missed them but for whatever reason our paths took a different direction. Others have stayed as we traveled on our journey. New friends have also emerged and brought with them a refreshing twist as I learned new things and adapted them to my lifestyle. We have raised out kids together and we have gone through empty nest together. Illnesses, births, deaths and so on.
I belong to a group of women friends who get together once a month just to hang out, drink wine, eat fine dishes brought by everyone. We sometimes have a theme, sometimes we just talk but it is always a delight and I leave feeling great and the feeling lingers for a long time. I am so grateful to be included in such fine company.
I was truly touched by the essay because it expresses my feelings in a way I could never have put into words, but it is the way my heart sings when I think of the people in my life who mean so much.
The idea of beauty back then vs now.
December 4, 2008 By Leave a Comment
I remember back when I first saw Janis Ian and thought she was kind of plain. But now I look at this and see how beautiful she was. The idea of beauty back then was the women on Charlie’s Angels. Now I look back and see how “dated” they look.
I wonder if it is because the standards of what is considered beauty have changed since 1976. I remember feeling so fat because I wasn’t stick thin. Looking back, I wasn’t really fat at all. My body isn’t meant to be thin and I had a healthy figure that was attractive. I wish I had appreciated it then because I would give anything to have it back.
By today’s standards, Janis’s ethnic looks are very attractive. Her hair, her eyes…. she’s gorgeous.
It’s too bad we tend to not appreciate ourselves as we are.

My YouTube Pick Is…… meekakitty
This girl is so funny she always makes me laugh. Tessa is a professional model in New York. Her video blogs (vlogs) show what it’s like to travel and do photo shoots from all around the world.
Tessa doesn’t take herself too seriously, she goofs off with her video camera at home and will have your rolling over laughing with her wit and charm. Whether she’s lip sincing, dancing or talking about her day, she’s a hoot! LOL! You can watch more by clicking on them or go to her channel and subscribe if you are a true (meaning you have a channel on YT) YouTuber like me. =)
What I love about her the most is that she seems genuine. She’s not trying to be sexy. She doesn’t need to try. She just is, and not in a slutty way. Sometimes she wears these big glasses that are really dorky though she pulls it off with supreme style in her own funky way. She’s adorable!
Here’s one of my favorites, or maybe a favorite favorite would be a better term. They’re all entertaining. Aw…. I can’t really say which is my fave. You’ll have to watch them yourself. You can watch all of them by subscribing to her you tube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/meekakitty.
This is from her “Live from Hong Kong” series:
Enjoy!
