 Mute is a theory that our essence is expressed even in the silence of words. It is an idea that clothing is and should be the reflection of our thoughts, principles, culture and a lifestyle that transcends. Mute is not an indulgence but an investment in the belief that one deserves nothing but truly the best.

Dear God, it’s like living in a sink.
The month called November ought to be scratched from the calendars, or be pulled out of the grey-cold dishwater. I think you shall stop to clean up your heavenly plates above Sweden.

Sabine (a founding member of the GLY Gang), left for Germany today by way of Boston (to visit Youenn). It  was so nice having her here these last two weeks. I miss her already. (She just called to tell me  that she saw Lauren Bacall in the airport after I dropped her off; who was in LA over the weekend to receive an honorary Oscar. It was Bine's first star sighting this trip and a fitting end to two weeks in LaLa Land!) The past couple of days have been jam packed with fun. On Monday, we went to see the movie "Precious". Though I thought most of the performances were quite good; the movie left me rather disturbed. Sadly, I fear that the situations portrayed in the film are not all that uncommon. It's worth seeing, but it's definitely not the feel good movie of the year! Last night we went to The Jay Leno Show. Tyra Banks was supposed to be there, but she got stuck in NYC, so Kevin Nealon was the guest. Bine and I got separated while being seated, but I managed to smuggle my camera in and take a couple of shots before a mean security guard confiscated it. He told me I had to delete the pictures, but I had already removed the memory card and discreetly slipped it in my pocket. I told him the camera was "out of film". He pondered that for a minute while looking at the camera and realized I was fucking with him. LOL. Then I told him I was just using the camera for the telephoto lens! I'm sure he didn't buy that story, but there was no way I was giving him my memory card! He finally got tired of arguing with me and walked away defeated. During the commercial break, Sabine got to sing with Jay's band. The problem was, she didn't know the words to Stevie Wonder's, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered"! After the show, we headed to the Los Angeles Film School for a special free screening of the movie "In The Loop". It was fantastic!! The best way to describe it would be "as if Jane Austen and Monty Python collaborated on an episode of "The West Wing". It's probably the funniest movie I saw all year. Afterward, we sat in on a panel with the director and some of the cast. What a great night!

For some, this kind of micro-awareness might smack of a kind of teeth-grinding effort to split hairs. For those who've been getting tired of the the roller-coaster ride of of living only for the senses, this might be a HUGE breath of fresh air. For me? This way of 'practicing' is my life...more of the time than not....except when I "forget".
There are some rich veins of Gold with powerful teachings that on the outset could seem either uber basic, or impenetrable. Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is no exception. Somewhere around the 2nd Century BC, a Sage/Saint by the name of Patanjali composed his famous YOGA SUTRAS as a guide to taking each of those single steps towards Freedom that draw Infinite Grace to You.

This is probably something that belongs on Holla Back DC!. After walking around the city and enjoying the amazing weather, James and I were headed back to the metro through Thomas Circle. It was just past 5pm and even though it was nice outside, the impending sunset* on a school night is the [...]

 First off, a HUGE thank you to my family and friends who provided their expertise and words of encouragement regarding my audition today at Ventura College. I would not have been able to make it through the process without passing out, throwing up, or some weird combination of the two. It's been 7 years since my last on-stage audition, so I was a little unsure of what to expect.
When I arrived, I was told to be prepared to stay for the entire 2 hours. I was handed a number (#47) and an application to fill out while I was waiting. After that was completed, I was ushered into a small music room with 20 other hopefuls and taught a "simple dance routine." All my memories of dancing in 4-inch heels came flooding back to me, and it helped me realize that if I could learn routines for an entire two-hour show, then this 30-second piece should be simple. I was wrong.
