Little Ms. Bossy: Thanksgiving for pyromaniacs
http://www.littlemsbossy.com/2014/12/thanksgiving-for-pyromaniacs.html
Hello, lovelies, can you believe it's already December? We just got back yesterday from a spontaneous mini-vacation in Barcelona, which has inexplicably left me feeling jet-lagged despite the lack of time difference (I'm blaming it on 10pm dinners—how do those Spaniards do it? I can't wait to tell you all about it, but first I wanted to share a little something from our Thanksgiving celebration last week. For CM's birthday this year, my parents sent him a special pot for making Feuerzangenbowle. Then you...

Little Ms. Bossy: April 2013
http://www.littlemsbossy.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
We had 4 days off over Easter weekend, so while all the Europeans in the cast went home to see their families, I took a fast train to Paris to hang out by myself eating croissants and wandering the streets. I used Airbnb for the first time, and it was a huge success! I ended up in this little apartment. In the heart of St. Germain-des-Prés—I highly recommend it for 1 person (or 2 who like each other a lot). Natch). Here are a few shots from my Parisian weekend. Lucky for me, Maison Kayser. The gorgeous S...

Little Ms. Bossy: Projects
http://www.littlemsbossy.com/p/projects.html
I'm taking this off my Bossy List. Now that we're back in the States, but it's definitely on my bucket list to eat a meal in every country in Europe. And maybe 1000 in Italy. Home on the Road. In which I interview opera rockstars about how they survive in this crazy business so that I can, too. My favorite project so far. I've written here all about the clothes, the vows, the party, and everything in between. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). If wishes were horses…. Even more perfect blueberry muffins.

Little Ms. Bossy: January 2013
http://www.littlemsbossy.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
In 2011 I started tracking every performance I saw. I loved being able to look back at the year through that lens, so I continued keeping track. Here are the 2012 numbers:. 7 recitals and concerts. 8 Broadway plays and musicals. 34 operas (at 11 different companies). And I thought 17 was a lot last year. Obviously, our summer o' opera made a big difference. It was a great year for seeing things—was it for you? My favorites of 2013 were, in chronological order:. March 10, 2012: Venus in Fur. I've been thi...
