AUREA: I've been tagged!
http://mary-laure.blogspot.com/2008/01/ive-been-tagged.html
Looking for sparks of gold in daily life (Dance, Arts, Fashion, Books.). Wednesday, January 23, 2008. In her exquisite blog. Pia tagged me, and now I must list 7 Silly Facts about myself. 1 The question I hate being asked is, Where do you come from? With a French father, an American mother, Uruguayan grandparents, and a life spent in Iran, Kenya, Iraq and China until the age of 15, it's complicated to give a one-word answer. 2 The question I love being asked is, Are you a dancer?

I also wrap my presents immediately so I have plenty of time to look at them before giving them away. But maybe its not the place to start? Did you go to the gift wrapping class? Your wrapping is beautiful!

AUREA: Let's Take The Bus To Work!
http://mary-laure.blogspot.com/2010/08/lets-take-bus-to-work.html
Looking for sparks of gold in daily life (Dance, Arts, Fashion, Books.). Sunday, August 22, 2010. Let's Take The Bus To Work! Take the M7 bus to work with me! I hop on in the 70's West. A few blocks south, at 66th, we drive past the Lincoln Center and the prestigious Juilliard School. Then the bus goes around Colombus Circle. As yellow cabs whiz past beautiful buildings. I get off at Times Square, with its orgy of billboards. And leaving 42nd street behind. What a nice ride, thank you! Thank you for reac...

AUREA: Out Stealing Horses And A Scone
http://mary-laure.blogspot.com/2010/10/out-stealing-horses-and-scone.html
Looking for sparks of gold in daily life (Dance, Arts, Fashion, Books.). Sunday, October 10, 2010. Out Stealing Horses And A Scone. This seems to have become a recurrent type of posts on AUREA - snapshots of a book I'm reading and a scone or other delicious snack. Above, a macchiato and a corn-blueberry scone (at Groundwork, on Rose in Venice) await me together with Per Petterson's Out Stealing Horses. A swan comes in to land. Soon there will be ice on the lake. I can't say more without giving it away.

Looking for sparks of gold in daily life (Dance, Arts, Fashion, Books.). Saturday, November 20, 2010. TIGER, tiger, burning bright. In the forests of the night,. What immortal hand or eye. Could frame thy fearful symmetry? William Blake, "The Tiger"). A shop window on Main Street - I wonder what is wrong with Mr Pumpkin's eyes? Near sighted, do you think? This 1952 convertible MG is for sale for $4,400. I walk past it on Rose street and sigh with desire. Yes, the weather in LA is really magical. There ar...

AUREA: At Home
http://mary-laure.blogspot.com/2010/10/at-home.html
Looking for sparks of gold in daily life (Dance, Arts, Fashion, Books.). Monday, October 18, 2010. Fresh plums from the Santa Monica Farmers' Market. A wonderfully warm 100% wool throw woven in Argentina, from luxurious brand Alta Pampa. So expensive but so worth it - as I may be moving very soon to a freezing cold place, I really need this. Beewax lotion bar looks great! I went to the Union Square greenmarket this evening. I didnt see plums but lots of apples and pumpkins! That throw looks nice and heavy.
