Tampon in a Teacup

So this weekend was lots of fun. I got together with my lady art crit group and we took a field-trip to Irvine to critique Allison and Betsey's work. Both of which was incredible and inspiring. I'm so psyched to be in a school of thought with these women. It's really awesome.
THEN Paula and Daniel had the opening of their first ever curated show. They pulled it off with flying colors and all the artists were amazing. Jamie and Katie's art was super bright and alive and made me feel all happy inside. I'm super proud of Paul and Daniel and know big things are going to happen 4 those sexy Mo's. Jamie's band Milkmonster played and they KILLED it. Nick Lowe also performed, he was funny.
Then I skipped off to JMOCA where Lia had a piece, but when I got there the thing had blown up and turned into a massive party.
Oh Enid, don't hate me. I still love you, I still love Harvey and I'm not leaving this American Splendor or your scratchy record, love lorn nights.

We have to expand civil and political rights in countries that are plagued by poverty, hunger, and disease. But our pleas will fall on deaf ears unless democracy actually improves people's lives while weeding out the corruption that too often stands in the way of progress.

Our foreign policy must reflect our deep commitment to help millions of oppressed people around the world. And of particular concern to me is the plight of women and girls, who comprise the majority of the world's unhealthy, unschooled, unfed, and unpaid. If half the world's population remains vulnerable to economic, political, legal and social marginalization, our hope of advancing democracy and prosperity is in serious jeopardy. The United States must be an unequivocal and unwavering voice in support of women's rights in every country on every continent.
