C&R: Muppet-y World!

Yes, this is how I see the world and would love the show to have an uplifting, fun tune! Currently developing a jingle entitled " Limitless" I wish I had been confident enough back in 2008 to audition for this movie so I could work with the Muppets. Till the next one! Wouldn't it be nice to see a pretty Christie singing tra-la-la.

C&R: Inspiring Visuals

Rajeeyah actually shared this with our team. There's something so ALIVE with the background text and interconnected bodies. Reminds me of the graffiti/murals urban communities around the world showcase to mourn the deceased.

C&R: Judd Apatow + Girls

I'm a huge fan of Apatow films with Forgetting Sarah Marshall at the top of my list. I've been hooked on Jason Segal for showcasing his man-package to international audiences and the brilliance of mixing puppetry targeted to mainstream viewers.

Now, Lena Dunham will have the chance to speak for our generation via HBO in Girls, well, a segment of this population.

Here's to more post-college milieu series, with characters that are typically heterosexual, white, middle class, and in their twenties. Maybe we'll be able to sneak in a multi-cultural best friend into the mix of this series?

Keep watching out for me readers! I'll be among the ladies of this generation to keep pushing the artistic envelope and demanding access for diverse representations of women on major networks. Remember starlett, Christiamilda wrote it here first!

C&R: Check out the Cupcakes!

In my ideal show, I'd love cupcakes seating the audience...This artist must've had a similar vision.

"Mining childhood memories and media constructions of gender roles, her photographs are charged with an eerie, dreamlike quality. On first glance, her works often appear whimsical, but there is a disquieting aspect to Simmons’s child’s play, as her characters struggle over identity in an environment in which the value placed on consumption, designer objects, and domestic space is inflated to absurd proportions."

C&R: Transformations on Reality TV

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_vNXW1Yl90


When I was about 11, I used to eat Wonder Bread and mayo sandwiches at midnight with my sister while we watched Jenny Jones reality tv (yummy, right?). I loved watching the transformation episodes b/c the guests would confront their bullies and then showcased theirnew bods and impeccible abs. There was something so addictive in watching these episodes. Perhaps it was something I wished for me. I wanted to be on TV, to host and dress in delicious clothes. It also must've played in the innate part of our personalities that loves to see good win vs. evil prevail. I found this clip from Maury. Oh, Maury! Today we're overloaded with these shows likeMob Wives, but this stuff is classic!

C&R: Inspiration

I love this video! Not only does it highlight the beauty of simple movement, but it also reminds me of the power of perspective. My take away is to lean towards creativity rather than complexity - something Christie and I hope to do in our piece.
