Madame Butterfly

Saturday was another one of my ballets and this one was Madame Butterfly. I have to say that it is my favorite one so far. I didn't know the story until yesterday and it is a pretty sad, depressing one but the ballet was so beautiful and wonderful! I was a little disappointed because origianlly the dancer that was supposed to play Butterfly is a beautiful Aisian girl but for some reason it was not her last night. Oh well. Also, they had some weird (weird is an understatement) opening ballet called Gong. It was an abstract ballet. Very strange. You could tell the dancers were very talented but I was not a fan of the overall performance of Gong. It was still a great night!


We went to a store called Bukos (I think that is how you spell it!) and it is like a giant Ross or TJ Maxx with TONS of stuff. Great deals! Too bad March is their last month but all during March everything will be an extra 50% off. So if you have never been, you should go. It is kinda messy and junky feeling inside but there are some great finds!


We always have a good time when we go to the ballets. Suzy has some pretty funny friends. We usually ride down with her friend Lissa and she is a crack up! I feel a little out of place since I am only 24 but they are all so nice and keep me laughing!! Here is a pic (yes, I actually have picture in a post!) of me and Suzy during intermission. We only have one more ballet :( Depending on how much they cost, I want to look into getting season tickets to the theater!

That sounds like a lot of fun! I have only been to the Nutcracker. I hope to one day expand my ballet knowledge and see others!

That looks like a lot of fun!!!!
Rhianna just released a statement saying she was asked by authorities not to comment on the situation regarding Chris Brown and she thanked everyone for support. There were pictures leaked last week did you see those???
And The Bachelor is on tonight, so EXCITED lol. I like this episode. Have you seen any of the theories out there about what happens this season? I hope they are all wrong, if they are right, I might never watch the show again (I probably will lol...I said I wouldn't watch it after Brad dumped both women, look still watching it lol)
Anyways, glad you had a good weekend.
