TO THE NINES

I love me a good gander at award's show dresses!   Just the creations they are, whether they work or not, the colors, the talent involved.   I don't know, maybe it's the model in me (insert laughing til it cries emoji)!   (Actress Tatiana Maslany, is pictured above.)    Look through some Emmy pics from Sunday here and find your favorites.  I have mine!

THESPIAN TOUCHBACK

I detect a football theme this week.  So let's continue.  

Eddie George, the Heisman Trophy winner in 1995 and eight seasons Tennessee Titan, has a new gig.  And it's on Broadway.  He is playing Billy Flynn in Broadway's production of Chicago.  For years George struggled to both find himself and re-invent himself post football, when the acting bug finally bit and fit.  “I really enjoy getting on stage, moving myself and telling a story through a character’s eyes and to deliver that in an honest way. A lot of the stuff I was going through in terms of anxiety and fear and depression and doubt (after football), I channeled all that in to the arts,” he said.      story                 


Principle in the type:  "There are signs and gifts everywhere, particularly in setbacks, but you need to keep your eyes peeled.  They come wrapped in missed opportunities, in unfulfilled promises and lost jobs.  They come born out of disappointments you never saw coming and also in those you should have.  But they bring you better things and take you to where you were meant to be. . . . Our setbacks bring us forward; we wander in the wilderness so the road can bring us home."    Rob Lowe
