So, my sister. . . .

I'm sure you all are aware that I have a twin. A twin, seven years apart. But for the average person, those seven years go unnoticed, and we are commonly mistaken for eachother. . . the perfect example:

Two weeks ago when said twin came to visit me in Chicago with mom, Granny and Grampa, we took a little trip to the Apple store, where Grampa leaned into said twin's ear, thinking it was me and accidentally gave away his intended Christmas Gift Surprise for said twin. Several other times through out the trip, the same thing happened, leaving poor Grampa with the most confounded look on his face. Ahhh, our parent's narrow genetic pool has resulted in a fun little party trick!

Anyway, my beloved twin and I have a very distinguishable difference, only detected with audio sensory perception. She has the most lovely soprano voice, one that has had years of classical training that my voice severely lacks. She sent this beautiful track over and I am oohing over it's lusciousness!! And I thought the world needed to know. So here. . . please savor in the ooey gooey loveliness of my twin's rendition of "That's Him" by Kurt Weill. Yummy!

Thanksgiving Moments

Thanksgiving day was a whirlwind for me this year. . .

It started at 5:45AM when I woke up and dashed to the Theatre.

After makeup and rehearsal, we performed in the McDonald's Thanksgiving Day parade live on TV for 5 million viewers at home.

It was raining and cold, but we had lots of fun.

I spent the rest of the day in a haze of cooking, organizing and enjoying our Thanksgiving Party.

I only grabbed my camera for a second, but these two shots captured my favorite moments of the day:

Cranberries on their way to become Cranberry sauce.

Isabella (0ur cast baby!) and Tuan Le.

I love Autumn! and Cannelle et Vanille!

As with many people I know, the crisp cool of the Autumn air, and the glorious turning of the leaves to gold, red and orange, brings a certain sparkle of possibility to the days, that makes this my favorite time of year!

Along with that lovely breeze of change, comes a change in my appetite too!
Farewell salads and strawberries, hello hearty soups and potatoes!

My favorite food blog has just enticed me to take on this challenge!

Roasted Apples with Almond and Muscovado Crumble and Marzipan Ice Cream

I've been reading Cannelle et Vanille ever since lovely Nicole (of A Little Sussy) blogged about her!
Not only does she make incredible recipes of delectable desserts, but as a food stylist & photographer, she makes my mouth water at every click!
Warning! This is not a website for the weight-loss challenged!

I vow to take on this delectable dessert the moment I get home to Washington!
Til then, I shall dream and drool!

Swim, Swim, Swim

I should be sleeping, since I have to get up very early to film our first commercials for the show, but instead, I found myself loving this video on Vimeo. . .
I want to be in a swimming pool with my nieces and nephews right now!

Til then, this will have to suffice.
These may not be my nieces and nephews, but they are certainly cute!

Self Portrait

My dear friend Mim has a fabulous sister, Sussy.

(These are not their actual names, but their vv famous blog names.)

Sussy is a fabulous photographer who inspires me daily with her blog. And she recently challenged her readers to do a self portrait. I decided to play along and will now share with you a few of my favorites.

I took these while testing makeup for my fabulous new show (Banana Shpeel. . . Have you heard enough about it yet? )

While this is not my actual makeup for the show, I thought it was still amazing!

BEP + OPRAH + DANCERS = HAPPY ME!

I just found out about this brilliant stunt for Oprah, and as I watched it, it totally made me smile and even giggle out loud! What more can you ask for than to take one of my favorite groups, singing one of my current favorite songs, with 20,000 people spontaneously dancing to it, and Oprah looking on in delight?
I must say, that out of all the things I miss by not living in the US right now, up top is not getting to watch Oprah on a daily basis! But, since I am going to be in Chicago in just one month, I think I will have to make up for it a little!

Watch, delight, and revel in this magical stunt!

Obsessed with this BED!

So.
I'm seriously obsessed with
this bed currently being featured on
Anthropologie.com!!!
Too bad it's price tag
is a little far out of
my current ability to purchase!
I could buy 4 imacs for
the price of this one bed!
It might be worth it,
just to sleep in a little
piece of heaven each night!!
