David Spade and I Double Dating with Mr & Mrs Jon Bon Jovi

The night came together by accident. I had already scheduled a date with David Spade to attend a private party when I got a phone call. It was Jon Bon Jovi. He wanted to know what David and I were doing that evening. Jon was scheduling a little get together. I knew it was be a little crunched for time but Jon is always so much fun. It was too hard to resist. David and I agreed that we would stop by and hang out with his group but first we had the early party to go to.

This photo of David from his new book, cracked me up. Its so fun.

Jon had planned some light appetizers and a small bar party. As I mentioned it was a small group get together. Jon was practicing for a new album at the time and he wanted to give his friends a preview. Impromptu jam session at Jon's house are always fantastic. It is just like a concert since he has so much talent as a musician that he can sing anything at anytime without any backup. I have often thought that Jon Bon Jovi and one of my relatives should sing together. She is one of the most gifted singers I have ever heard. Several of my family members have years of musical training, lead roles in one act plays and have experience in many stage performances. One act plays are slightly small rooms almost like a dinner theatre environment that leaves you up-close with the entire audience. They love the stage and the stage loves them. I seem to have gone off on a tangent, but that is my style.
Back to that evening, it turns out that we were the only couple who could make Jon's impromptu jam session on such short notice but he did not mind. Jon is always a great host. Jon had some shrimp, crab rolls, other Italian snacks as well as some cheese and crackers. He knows how much love white wines. At the time, I was into a drink with Chambord in it. Jon had that bottle too close to the front of the table. It was in arms reach and that was too tempting for me. I knew David was handling the transportation so I allowed myself to enjoy the drink and Dorothea seemed to have acquired the taste as well. I noticed she had a few glasses. It was a fun evening.

Jon knows I always tease him about dying his hair grey. 

Dorothea gave me some kind of makeover that evening because I know how much lipstick I had on that evening and what the color was, but when I left my look including my lipstick was different. Dorothea is a makeup wiz. She could be a cosmetologist or a stylist. she has a lot of talent. 80's hair is not as easy as it looks. Dorothea did Jon's hair on more than one occasion. She knows how to rock any make up color palette which amazes me. That is the artist at work and she works fast.

We decided to watch a movie since Jon was a little more intoxicated than he thought. His intoxication was part of the fun and Jon was not the only having a good time. Jon is one of best mature comedians. He and David Spade get along so well. David has a wild side that everybody knows about, but what they don't know about is that Jon's humor is very similar to David's humor. I know Jon Bon Jovi always seems so soft spoken but at the time he was wild as they say. When David and Jon are together everyone is happier. It is the energy they bring. Jon's nickname the "Bermuda Triangle" came about because of the wildest discussions we have had as a group and how funny they were to others. Several people who have heard Jon mention the Bermuda Triangle more than likely did not get the reference since the place is sinister. The name was given to us after a mutual friend watched us play around. It made him think of holidays in the Caribbean and the joy of unexpected humorous events. It was also a reference to the Trinity and how much we all love God and the fact that we all can be a little devils when we want to be. Everyone has a little devil in them that makes them do funny things that are funny and out of the ordinary. the little devil is when you hide a towel on your husband or you give funny gifts.  I can't go into too much details or the blog would be really long, but I will catch my readers up in the future. The person who gave us the nickname has since passed away but the way he use to smile every time he mentioned that nickname was really special.

Enjoying the sunset and reminiscing 

The evening ended with a hug and a kiss from Dorothea. She is such a loving lady and her Italian background is a part of her greetings. Although it might just be a Jersey thing since I know several families including my own who hug and kiss as a greeting.

On a side note,
Tom Cruise makes the best Fairy Godfather because he loves to make wishes come true. You never know when he is going to surprise you and most often he doesn't take credit. He lets the person figure out it was him. Being a little sneaky in a good way is as much fun for Tom as it is for the person whom he is granting wishes. He is part Secret Santa by nature only when he is ready, he lets it slip.

David Spade is always throwing himself at Tom Cruise in a light hearted way but I know he secretly wants to work with Tom . Becoming Tom's best buddy is an option David has mentioned he would like to explore. I think it is like a heterosexual man crush situation for David. You know where the guy thinks the other guy is cool that kind of thing. David loves it when he sees Tom coming since it means David will get a chance to set Tom up. Tom doesn't get the message that David is serious and he really wants to become Tom's best friend in the whole wide world as David says to Tom and then he bats his eyes at Tom. David is so good at Puss and Boots style eyes that he uses on Tom to tease him. It is really funny to see. 

Here is a little surprise from Kate Hudson.. Look at one of my favorite designers came up with.. I wonder if she had the pants color matched to my house and my living room wall. We all know how much I love roses. I like your style Kate. I was told this outfit is a new release and it will be on the US website soon. If you put in Zulie on the US site you will see the pants.
Heads up to Kim K for her kind words.

My Theatrical Performance in Swan Lake

Given the interest in recent films on the subject of ballerinas, I thought writing about my experience as one would be enjoyable for many. I know I was in the middle of a series. Going behind the scenes of a production of Swan Lake is another behind the scenes experience that is a part of show business. May celebrities we all like have experience in working in amazing theaters for crowds of fans. Ballerinas are actresses who transform through acting and movement. My first important dance performance came in the production of Swan Lake It was at the Patriot Theater in Trenton New Jersey. I was so impressed when I arrived at the theater since I am a big fan of the beauty in architecture and fine details of carving or moldings as well as the rich red curtains and tapestry blew me away.
 It was a performance with my dance school and the teacher was very well known for her talents in choreography, instruction and keen eye for talent. Miss Beverly , I believe, was her name. I recall she was hired to script and teach us the dance for another production I was in called "Oliver". In that production , she was not the only hired talent. The teachers in charge of that show had hired talent for certain roles like Fagan since they wanted the show to be a hit. I was cast as Nancy in the show which as we all know is the female lead. That shows was when I was in middle school and it was very well thought of as I heard for years the video from that production was shown throughout the  district for all ages up to and including the high schools.
I seem to have lost my direction when I was speaking about dancing in Swan Lake. As I mentioned the arrival to the theater and getting ready backstage was a huge high point. The excitement of a production and seeing each class of ballerinas fully dressed in their costumes was intoxicating. I love the thrill knowing the audience is out there waiting for my fellow dancers and myself to begin. For me, dancing on stage is a familiar event. I began dance instruction and recitals since I was a preschool age child of maybe 4. That show involved a simple yellow costume and it was "Itsy Bity Teenie Bikini" .The famous song was so cute for dancing . I recall seeing other students perform that song as my years of dancing wet on.
Toe dancing was something I had always admired and dancing in Swan Lake was a highlight. Since it  is such a beautiful production so well known, I learned the steps with even more pride than usual. Every year getting the costumes was a thrill. They were always so beautiful. My costume in Swan Lake was white with silver weaved on the bodice. It had beautiful layers of folded fabric along the torso. I still have the costume somewhere. When I last saw it, it was in my kids costume box along with my gowns from other events. They don't wear them anymore but they once enjoyed playing dress up.
Swan Lake has such beauty in the choreography. I was so excited when our turn came up. My class lined up backstage and we got ready to enter the stage. I recall making my first movements on stage and the pure pleasure of the movements before the crowd. When a performer enters the stage there is a switch that goes on and the momentum of the dance combines with the portrayal of the character in such a way that time stops and all you are aware of is a freedom of spirit. The transformation from ballerina backstage to performing is done in an instant. I find I lose all other thoughts the moment I take the first step. I don't recall the exact dance steps any longer but I m sure if I tried they would come back. For me I just recall the high of the performance in such a magnificent theater and the blue dark lighting of the stage. I remember the beautiful feathers in our hair, our makeup and almost glowing in the white we wore.
Here are two pictures of inside the Patriot Theater in Trenton, New Jersey.As you can see it was a gorgeous place to dance on stage.

Miss Beverly was famous for her productions so even people who were not in attendance of her Dance School came and bought tickets. This was something special since most of her classes did not get a chance to be involved with the ballet.
Lots of people wonder what it is like to be a ballerina in such an elegant ballet production, I can tell you it is amazing. The right theater does set the tone of elegance as it enhances your performance and the audiences perception. If we had danced in a high school theater , some of the regality of the ballet would have been lost. Miss Beverly was known for her detailed mind and her location was perfect.
At some point in the future I might release the video of a toe dance routine I choreographed to a unique song. I have one already shot and another dance with the steps complete. I keep my toe shoes in my closet with my typical dance sheer wrap skirt.
Its not exactly my dancing hair or make up but it is sure fun to play with Spring colors. My latest selfie :)
