Masques

Happy Friday, my friends.

I'm feeling more like myself today. Just in time for Magical Movie Friday
at Swan of Dreamers. This time I'm not going to share a movie, but one
of my favorite Halloween inspired episodes of all time from one
of my fave shows Beauty and The Beast. I am sure I have talked about
this episode before on my blog, it bears repeating.



The episode Masques comes from the original Beauty and The Beast tv show
that aired from 1987 - 1990 starring Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman. I tried to watch the updated version on CW, but couldn't get into it. If anyone has watched the new one, please share your thoughts in the comments.

I remember when I first saw the episode. I was a sophomore in college.
My bf at the time has went home for the weekend. It was a Friday night,
I was excited about watching Beauty and The Beast. I had fell in love
with it from the beginning.

What stuck out for me the most was when Vincent meets his favorite
author and she explains the old history of Halloween to him. To me this
is one of the best descriptions of what Halloween is all about. It is
a beautiful episode full of magic, love, longing and dreams.

Here is a commercial for the Masques episode.




P.S. Still in fundraising for the show Urban Aura I'm directing. We only need $435 dollars to reach our goal. Any amount you wish to donate would be awesome. Help to get this great show to have wings.Thanks everyone.

Jake and Showtime

Hi my fellow dreamers. Thank you for all the well
wishes for Jacob's birthday. He turned 2 last Thursday.
Yes, i can't believe too my little man is 2!!
We had an awesome time at the Zoo which he loved.

Here is a gif that my husband, Sean, made of Jacob in
September at our local kmart.



I'm also gearing up for the show I'm directing which is going
up at the United Solo Festival on Nov 13th in NYC.

We, as in the actor/writer Gabe and me, are in fundraising mode
for the show. If anyone is in the creative field reading this, you know
money is something that helps creative projects to fly.

Here is the link the to our kickstarter campaign. It talks
about the show and the history behind it. If you scroll down further,
you will see a not so cute picture of me. Know that was a bad
hair and stressful director day for me.

If you can donate and/or spread the word to others about our fundraiser.
I appreciate it. Putting on a show is a lot of work behind the scenes
even before the actor steps on stage.

On Friday, I'll be back with a magical movie that I recently saw to share
with all of you.

See you then.
