Viola Davis is a winner...

Okay, this is a quick shout-out to Viola Davis -- now TWO time Tony Award winner!  She, along with Denzel Washington, won for Best Actress/Actor in a Play.  The play itself -- Fences, is the latest dramatic revival to earn a record number ten nominations.

The producers and lead actors walked away with a Tony.  Fences also earned Best Play honors.

I can't speak enough on Davis' talents.  She is a skilled, nuanced actor who deserves every opportunity I hope is coming her way.  After the limited Broadway run, both Davis and Washington will begin prepping for the feature version of August Wilson's esteemed piece.

I'll be one of the first in line with my ticket!

When Past and Present Intersect...

Ever have that out-of-body experience when an old friend from the past recognizes you and you're not exactly camera-ready?

Well that happened to me yesterday.  In the store... the store I meant to just dash in and grab a few food staples... that didn't happen.  I didn't run into an old boyfriend, TYJ, but ran into an old friend.  A friend from a clique of chicks I used to admire back in the day.  She's good people, then and now.  And now that I think about it I don't know what's more confusing -- do women dress for men, themselves or other women?

Discuss amongst yourselves.

I like to think I make all personal appearances as if I were prepped for a George Hurrell photo shoot -- but lately I know this simply isn't true.

As much as I deride LA denizens for being papparazzi-ready at any given moment, there's something to be said about looking your best in public places.  But being back, getting to a place where it's not just about what's on the outside, but what's internal... that's what I've been trying to find.

Now I want to balance the two -- where what's on the inside -- that inner peace and wellness, just radiates on the outside.

So that's my new goal -- to be radiant.
