1. And the Winner is... (for Wonder Woman)

Richard (last week's winner) hasn't contacted me this morning so I hope he doesn't mind if I go ahead and pick this week's winner. It was tough. There's lots of great entries. Both of Josh Pincus' entries were clever and funny. Samuli's was astounding, took my breath away and makes me wish I could choose 2 winners. However, in the spirit of the challenge, I'm going with Jessi Tsoi's cute little Wonder Woman.

Congrats, Jessi.Tsoi!!!

2. Mark Morris


A slight departure from my usual thing here.
Last night I watched Live from Lincoln Center. It was the Mostly Mozart Festival with the Mark Morris Dance Group doing the dancing and Emanauel Ax doing the piano playing.

It was fabulous.

It took me back to the 80's when I was in school at the Academy of Art. Mark Morris was doing a performance somewhere in town, and wanted some of us from the school to go over and draw them all dancing so they could hang the drawings in the lobby for the performance.

Well. I was one of the chosen few. I didn't know who he was, and thought we were going to watch some regular ballet dancers rehearse. WRONG.
They danced and we tried to draw (we could all draw well, usually, but have you ever tried to draw dancers dancing? not easy) and I was blown away.

It wasn't airy-fairy pointy toed Swan Lake kind of dancing. It was the most elegant, limbs-at-odd-angles, thumping the floor, witty, playful, intelligent moving around by people I'd ever seen.

And him! Look at him. This beautiful, cherubic creature with the curls, and how he danced. I'm swooning, remembering. We went to the actual performance as well, and it was exhilarating.

If you get a chance to see the company dance anywhere, DO.

And I must add that Emanuel Ax is no slouch at the piano, either.
