Gay marriage
I don't support gay marriage but I can't believe people are dumb enough to protest against that.
Marriage, gay or not, remains a nice project.
While, in France, we're now paying so much taxes that we don't have any money left for doing interesting things
And NOBODY protests that
I can't believe it!!
I'm a part time sales assistant, I can't go on holidays because I don't have any money and
I have to pay taxes?!?
What is this country??
French people, what are you thinking about??

SAVOUR EVERY MOMENTS
From Youtube:
"Dogs and cats seem to possess some inner secret to enjoying life.
They're able to savour every single moment of the day; all the fun moments, and the goofy ones. The playful moments, the loving moments. If our pets could talk, they might tell us: "When you're happy, don't forget to tell your face. Napping is beauty sleep for the soul. Eat like nobody's watching."
Savour Every Moment, a new short film by renowned filmmaker, Keith Hopkin (http://www.facebook.com/Keith.a.hopkin) was an instant hit with pet lovers and pets alike when it debuted on April 27, 2013 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.
The film was shot on location in sand, snow and underwater with help from famed photographer Seth Casteel and a musical score by Carly Comando."
I learned soo much just watching at my dog living its life. We, Humans, are the foolest creature ever. But we can be less fool by being modest and respectful to everything that is stringer greater than us!!

Maturity and success
Kate Walsh: I made it after 35
"My age gives me perspective and the confidence to speak out about things, to embrace change, and the courage to take risks.
"My age gives me perspective and the confidence to speak out about things, to embrace change, and the courage to take risks.
Age is just a number. Unless, that is, you live in Hollywood, where there's this notion that if you haven't hit it big by your 20s, you may as well hit the road. But if anyone had told me that I would be thankful when I looked back on celebrating my 28th birthday alone in New York City with a piece of stale cheesecake, working at one of my three waitressing jobs, I would have punched him. During those broke years, I shared not one but two studio apartments, first with my brother, and then with my pal Karen, sleeping head to foot in the same bed. I never dreamed that one day I would land my breakout role at the ripe old age of 36, as a doctor onGrey's Anatomy. But now, at 44, I look back and I am eternally grateful for that lonesome birthday.
For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping. Anytime I wanted to quit acting, my brother Joe would come visit me at work and patiently ask what I would do instead. The conversation always yielded the identical result: "Okay, I'm gonna keep acting." Acting was all I ever really wanted to do.
I never worried about my age, though, until I moved to Los Angeles in 1999. That's when I had a look around and realized that I was infinitely replaceable. There would always be someone younger, prettier, sexier, stronger, faster (and probably cheaper) than me. But I didn't let it deter me. Maybe that's because I grew up watching classic films, and my heroines—Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Lucille Ball, Mary Tyler Moore, Vanessa Redgrave, Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, and Judi Dench—were all working in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. I was never defeated by age; I was inspired by it.
At 30, I thought I had made it because I landed a recurring role on The Drew Carey Show. Everyone told me, "The world is your oyster," and "You'll get loads of development deals from the networks." I went into pilot season feeling confident and on top of the world. I tested for eight or nine shows that year, which was a personal record—and got not a single one. After that my ego and I took a vacation to Anguilla to recover from the rejection and humiliation. It was a big turning point: I learned to take my pride out of the audition rooms. So when a casting director said that my audition was great but the producers didn't think my shoes were sexy enough, instead of crying I ran to Macy's at the Beverly Center to buy a pair of five-inch stilettos.
And when Grey's Anatomy became must-see TV and my entire life changed, I felt like it was the moment I had been waiting for my whole life; after all, I had spent three decades working toward it. By then I had the character and the personal infrastructure to enjoy the incredible ride. Through my years of slogging through waitressing and bit parts, I had developed the capacity to weather challenges, rejection, and the various personalities you encounter, with grace and tact. I had been able to actually live life, unobserved, paparazzi-free, and make a ton of mistakes in private, when I was younger.
My age gives me perspective and the confidence to speak out about things, to embrace change, and the courage to take risks. I even started my own fragrance business, Boyfriend, at age 42. Trust me, it has not been easy. I've faced obstacles, missteps, and learning curves, but I know how to balance the role of CEO with my day job as an actress because I mastered the juggling act in my 20s.
The best part is that I know I'm just getting started. I've learned over and over that life happens on its own terms, not mine."

Another one?
First position (in French: Le Concours de Danse) is a documentary by Bess Kargman (her first film) about the Youth America Grand Prix and 6 of its young contestants. It will be out in french theater on december, the 12th. Will it be just another documentary on ballet? Or will it be a pure moment of emotion? Judging by the energic and BIOUTIFOUL posters, I think I will love it!

Broadway is just... hundreds of euros away
A friend of mine, a dance connoisseur, did 10 days of intensive dance training in New York, thanks to this organisation: Artmosphere. She was absolutely delighted. It's a little bit expensive (I can't afford it
) but it's true it seems to be great. You have classes in New York's best dance schools: the Alvin Alley school, the Broadway Dance Center...
It's the dreaming hollydays for every dance enthusiast!

Never say Never
It's something you cannot imagine when you're an average worker but when you are an artist, you have to get used to this (swindling) way of doing
I have different ways to see auditions notices. I can go to le Centre du Marais ou le Studio Hamonic, where they display auditions notices; But most of the time I use websites:
- Castprod.com is 100% free but not totally trustworthy. For example, stripclubs display their auditions there. And, from my experience
, when those clubs say they are seaching for "dancer", they are actually searching for stippers.
- Paris-Casting.com is a good one and with a little bit of wit you can get round the paying part!! All the auditions notice you see on it can be seen at the Cantre du Marais on the auditions boards.
- The CND website is totally free and 100% trust worthy but it's mainly for contemporary dancers. So if you're not one of them.... TOO BAD!
- Casting.fr: that's the one I've just paid for.... It seems to have some interesting auditions (included the one of etoilecasting.com ) and I've already had one response
!!!
