Rose's Adventures in the City of Brotherly Love

-
I live about 45 minutes from Philadelphia and not until this past weekend did I pay a little visit to the city of brotherly love. I have been to Philly before but  it was years ago during the dead of winter and i was not really in an exploratory mood. This time my twin sister and I came to participate in the Live Arts Festival + Philly Fringe. After doing a little research we settled on seeing the University of the Arts production of The Walls by Lisa Dillman. What a spectacular play! From start to finish I was moved by the performances. Sometimes I forget how much I love watching a live performance.  If you are in the Philly area I strongly suggest you check out this play or any other play that is participating in this festival. 
 Prior to catching the evening showing of The Walls my sister and I ate lunch at Estia. Estia is a lovely Greek restaurant located in the heart of the city. The food was absolutely divine. Right below I have tons of pictures of food porn that will make your mouths water. Unfortunately I did not get any interior shots of the restaurant. It was an amazing decor. You felt like you were having lunch by the Mediterranean Sea and at times you felt like you had found Atlantis. If you go to Philadelphia, make sure you make a stop at Estia for some good Mediterranean Food. There were tons of pubs around town. I admit I was really feeling Philly. It has a small city feel and I love that about it. I will definitely be making another pit stop to the City of Brotherly Love in the near future.

Few months ago I posted my first Feminist Wednesday video. Feminist Wednesday is a day I celebrate a female artist who makes me proud to be a female. Today I am celebrating the magnificent P!nk. My word when I think I can't love P!nk anymore than I do, she goes and does this. Can we talk for a minute about her flawless performance at this year's AMA. That is how you perform live folks. Here for your viewing pleasure is the powerful video for her second single off The   Truth about Love.

The List: The Sexiest Men 2013 Edition

-

It is becoming a little bit of a tradition here on Confessions that during the month of love I unveil my list of men that continue to rock my world. Considering how successful my last list was the only responsible thing for me to do is officially declare that this tradition will live on. If you are curious to see how last year's list differed from this year here it is  My Little Valentines . This year my list is a little different. First of all, it did not feel right to narrow it down to 100. So below you will see a list composed of 110 men. I have included men that not only I find incredibly good looking but men that have enamored me with their talent and their wit. My list is in alphabetical order besides my top ten. If there is an asterisk behind their name that means they are newbies to the list. Let me know who you think is incredibly good looking.

What Can You Do Now?

This past week has been a dark chapter in American history. Over 100,000 American lives were lost to COVID-19.  On Memorial Day, in the city of Minneapolis George Floyd was murdered by four police officers. His death sparked a nation wide outrage. If you would like to know the ways you can support the movement please take a look at this website.  https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#   It will give you ways you can help. You can sign petitions, donate, find contact information for officials in Minneapolis and find out ways to participate in peaceful protests.  This would also be a good time to register to vote, if you have not done so already. Besides remaining informed, I would advise you all to take care of your health during this difficult time. Make sure you take time to remain both physically and mentally strong.  Keep yourself hydrated. Take your vitamins. Meditate. Pray. Find ways to find joy. It is also a good time to reach out to love ones.  Be safe and be kind to yourself.
