Signs
“My aunt took me to my first (and only) Broadway audition for Annie. Yes. Annie on Broadway. She put me in a room with professional singers, dancers, and actresses for a shot at the lead role. Her belief in me was nothing short of fantastical. I had no professional headshots (or singing or acting or dancing experience), so they took a Polaroid of me for the audition. Pretty sure the sign above me was merely a coincidence.”

Spandex Warrior
“This is my 8th birthday in 1995 and we were on vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC. My Dad was in love with these royal blue spandex baseball shorts and he walked around shirtless in these shorts for most of our family vacation. He also had them in black and gray.”
