Reflection
Each time I see the Upside-Down Man
Standing in the water,
I look at him and start to laugh,
Although I shouldn't oughtter.
For maybe in another world
Another time
Another town,
Maybe HE is right side up
And I am upside down.

Donya Feuer, Dies at 77

American modern-dance choreographer Donya Feuer passed away November 6 at the age of 77. Feuer had been part of New York's experimental dance scene in the late 1950s and early '60s. She danced with Martha Graham and is also well-known for her direction of movement and choreography in several plays directed by Ingmar Bergman. My personal favorites is "Phases of Madness," which she choreographed with Pina Bausch and Paul Sansarado.

A Taste You Breathe
And their slogans slay me:
"The kick of coffee without the cup." -- I think having my cup is part of my having coffee experience.
"The TASTE of chocolate without the calories." --I'm tempted to believe that when it comes to sweets, the more calories, the more immediately satisfying!
And the worst of them all: "Le Whif means healthy living."
Has anyone tried this?? Would love to hear about some experiences with this caca.

Rihanna Talks Body Image
Rihanna spoke with You magazine about how the fashion industry is pressuring young girls into becoming model skinny.
"You shouldn't be pressured into trying to be thin by the fashion industry, because they only want models that are like human mannequins. They know that if we see an outfit on a mannequin in a shop window we will love it and want to buy it whatever size we are. That's why they have size zero models - they want to sell clothes. You have to remember that it's not practical or possible for an everyday woman to look like that. Being size zero is a career in itself so we shouldn't try and be like them. It's not realistic and it's not healthy."
