Child Labor, Elphaba, Library

hmm.. i dont have to much to say tonight.  I dont think anyone is even reading this, lol.

Today i just went to work, for wicked, and vicki noon was fierce as always, and at first i didnt really like the way kendra was playing galinda, but its really grown on me, and now i always watch "popular" 

So the girl playing elphaba in the pictures is Teal Wicks, shes pretty great too, but she has only gone on like twice in the last two months.  Vicki is amazing, teal is too though... i liked getting to see both, it kept it fresh

those pictures make me feel pretty lucky to have the job that i have. 

Tomorrow is my last day of class, and then i just have next thursday, and i only have a final and a check in class.  so nice!

Im writing my final paper for my labor studies class on child labor, and the photographs done by Lewis Hine documenting the child workers.  There are lots of stories of people seeing family members in these photographs and telling the untold story of how their life unfolded.  It would seem to me that spending your childhood in a factory would lead to a not so great adult life... but my research has just begun, so we'll just have to wait and see!

here is one of his photo graphs, im reading a fictional novel a woman wrote in order to create a story for this girl:

OH! and i also am completely obsessed with this blog:  Sea of Shoes

go check it out, there was a story about this girl in teen vogue, and she was definitely  my inspiration to start this blog! 

and i spent some time today at the big down town public library, and it made me miss going to the big one in NYC.  its so big! when i leave the city one day, that is definitely going to be something i miss.  Its such a beautiful space, but it smells like homeless people, so sometimes its not worth it.  But i checked out this book about the lady who invented the Barbie doll, basically a biography on her, and it looks super interesting.  i just have to get everything else finished before i read it.

well i think thats it, ill end with a great Elphaba quote

"UNLIMITED, my future is Unlimited, and ive just had a vision almost like a prophecy, i know, it sounds truly crazy, and true the visions hazy, but i swear someday there'll be, a celebration, throughout oz, thats all to do with ME!"
