"One should either be a work of art or wear a work of art." -Oscar Wilde

I'm not sure if Oscar Wilde actually said that quote (the title of this post). I really could have made that up. It's a good one, though, and I'm pretty sure he legitimizes it, you know?
I had my first NYC, big girl opera audition on Monday. Flew up there for the weekend and had a pretty alright time. Saw some old friends, enjoyed some fall weather, went to MoMA and Central Park. I think my audition went pretty well. I learned an important lesson about packing one pair of shoes (because i'm too cheap to check my luggage)...make sure they aren't miserably uncomfortable. I felt like I was undergoing Japanese foot binding all weekend. Though, I have to admit, I looked awesome (aside from whatever excruciating expression was on my face. I can't account for all that.)

In lieu of studying, I read the new David Sedaris book. It's fantastic.






























One of my favorite fall songs:


And something pretty:

I saw these bubble-ists in Central Park. Magical.
















Also, I need the illusive galaxy dress:

It looks mostly like that, except it's a dress.
Everyone, please raise awareness for this cause...it's really important and it will change many lives. Well, really just mine, but I'll wear it a lot and people will be jealous, just inciting some change here and there.
Also, it will make people more aware of the universe and outer space...and how awesome I look in that dress.
