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.

Moving on, starting fresh

I DID IT! I graduated college! All the sleepless nights, pulling of the hair and crying myself to sleep have paid off, I now have my college diploma. Now that I have ended one successful chapter in my life I am looking forward to embarking on the next one. I am looking forward to igniting the flame inside of me and turning it into a full blown bonfire. I am not sure what the future holds but I cannot wait to find out. When I was five I never thought I was going to live in Tunisia or Mozambique for that matter. I never would have imagined that if I put my mind to it I could study abroad in Australia nor did i think I would go to college in upstate New York. I have done so pretty much amazing things but I still want to do more. I want to see the world, get touched spiritually and emotionally by incredible individuals, hopefully bring joy to all of those around me, laugh more, cry less, regret less, write more, cook more and live each day to its fullest. In effort to start anew I have d

He doesn't even need to ask

-
Over a month ago, I watched the absolutely beautiful My Own Private Idaho . I had a bit of a revelation after watching the film. Which is kind of interesting because it has nothing to do with the themes that were brought up in the film. If you have not watched My Own Private Idaho , I suggest that you check it out. It is hauntingly beautiful and River Phoenix is such a beautiful soul. Anyways, back to the topic of my post. I was thinking about how beautiful Keanu Reeves looked in the movie and how he could seriously get it. Jokingly I said to myself that "he doesn't even need to ask". Then a light bulb went off in my head. What exactly was I insinuating by that remark. Was I suggesting that because he was so attractive he does not need to ask for my permission to have sexual relations with me? After much thought, I realized that was what I was suggesting. As someone who considers themselves to be a feminist, this revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. I was completely
