Pretty Little Things

I am taking a Musical Theatre History class this summer and in addition to what I suspected the class would be (learning about musicals I've never heard of and learning the names of different composers), I am also learning about the different sub-genres. Two in particular are quite intriguing: vaudeville and burlesque. I wanted to post up some things that I find are specifically inspired by these two pre-WWII types of entertainment. Mostly burlesque, since it's cuter, aesthetically.

It Takes Tutu Tango
Extracurricular activities were a constant in my childhood. I would say starting from age four (swim class) to about age thirteen (retired from martial arts, finally) I was always found myself on the road to my next lesson, class or tutor session.
List no. 3 & 3.5
MY TOP FIVE FAVORITE CHILDHOOD ACTIVITIES
1. Tap dancing (For some reason, tap dancing always made me feel girly but also empowered at the same time, unlike ballet. Ballet just made me feel fat.)
2. Art projects (I attended childrens' art school for a few years and during that time I explored many mediums and ran into so many inspirations. My favorite material I discovered during that time was foil and I was 9.)
3. Swimming (My glorious, most gratifying swim memory was racing my dad off the coast of Maui and for a second forgetting that I was deeply petrified of being attacked by a creature of the sea)
4. Saxophone-ing (I remember my parents having me play as entertainment at their famous dinner parties, I felt like Kenny G with a vagina. Of course, I never sounded like the Master of Sax but I did feel like him, no doubt.)
5. Golfing (Okay, this one I slipped in because I mainly only like the outfits.)
MY TOP FIVE CHILDHOOD ACTIVITIES I STILL CRINGE ABOUT
1. Piano (6 or 7 years down the drain. I don't want to think or talk about it. But this is number one. P.S. Teachers beating their pupils still equals abuse!)
2. Tae Kwon Do (Ok, I secretly love saying to people that I have a black belt and knowing it's the truth. But God, did I loathe Master Yoo yelling at me three times a week. Oh- and the conditioning was too painful)
3. Violin (So it was a short-lived experience, but after a few lessons, my instructor advised my mother to perhaps have me learn how to play piano instead. Apparently she was able to see whether this, then 5 year old, girl was going to be a gifted violinist or not.)
4. Ballet/ Jazz
5. Math tutoring (Is this technically considered an extracurricular? I don't know. I just know that Miss Samantha- despite her friendly mid-90s Mariah Carey-inspired hairdo- was an upright bitch and made me feel dumb on purpose. Looking back, I can recall some of the things she would tell me and now recognize the inappropriate qualities.)

Feeding Mosquitoes
I am planning on going camping in June and August and it inspired me to post an entry entirely dedicated to the act of camp and why it's so lovely.
Top 5 Reasons why a city girl should consider stepping into the wild:
1. Cooking a fancy feast over an open fire is exciting for any Martha Stewart enthusiast.
2. Exercise in natural, beautiful settings and not on cement, asphalt or confined between the walls of Bally's.(That one's for you, Nicole)
3. Lovely and strange wildlife to whisper your secrets to.
4. Stars! There are more than twelve, I assure you, folks.
5. Mother Nature's ability to bring you tranquility without nonsense or crazy fees of a day spa.
Vintage Girl Scout set from cutfromthesamecloth.etsy.com $22
Vintage canteen from claireferrante.etsy.com $14
Corn skewers from SpoonerZ.etsy.com $11
Gingham hankies from BenefitJewels.etsy.com $8
Vintage aluminum 2-fer set from leaningcedarsvintage.etsy.com $12

Sunrays, Sunflowers, Sunspiration
California has about four or five months of real summer, if not more now due to the yucky state of our atmosphere. It's already May (can you believe?) and just like every other American consumer, these past few days (as the temperature is creeping up the thermometer) I have been searching around for a new bathing suit. Of course, it doesn't matter if I already own about five or six suits, I desperately want another beauty to sun bathe in these upcoming months.
