Angry Dance

We are so not happy right now! Anyone who knows us, know that we are huge Broadway fans. We know every lyric, every line, every piece of choreography to almost every musical or play that is or was on Broadway. So once a year we tune in to watch the Tony's and we root for whichever show we've seen earlier in the season or a show we want to see. This season hands down our favorite show was Fela!. It's upbeat, it's funny, the music is fantastic, and the acting is superb. When we saw it in November we knew that it was going to snag all the Tony's it was nominated for, because that's just how awesome it is... it's mind boggling how incredible it is!
Needless to say yesterday night at 8pm Joy and I were glued to the television screen anticipating the best award show on earth. Sean Hayes was hosting and he was hilarious, but then why wouldn't he be?! Kristin Chenoweth one our favorite actresses of all time made appearances because she's in Promises, Promises(by the way we want to see that also)and the performances by the different company's were great as always but whenever a category Fela! was nominated for was being announced it seemed that no matter how hard we crossed our fingers they lost time after time after time...until Bill T. Jones won for best choreography. Our spirits were lifted but not enough. When the winner of the best musical was anounced and it wasn't Fela! why it got crazy in our home. We stomped and yelled and fussed, we just couldn't believe it!
Long story short, Fela! lost to Memphis. I know the cast of Memphis worked hard and the show is probably a good show but we don't think it should have won for best musical. Claps to the cast and crew of Memphis anyway.

College Bound

Cherish and I are finishing our junior year of high school. So that means we are closing in on high school experience and are starting to look up colleges we would like to go to. We are so done with high school.
First off Cherish and I have been in love with Columbia University since the 7th grade. That has been the only school on our list up until sophmore year which we added NYU to our mix. Now we have added Stanford, Barnard and some Cuny and Suny schools.
Cherish and I are really anticipating college. College is our time to discover and hone our interest. We are adults studying for our careers, embarking on another road... where will it lead?
We plan on going to the same school. We enjoy each others company and being in school together doesn't phase us. So watch out colleges we're on our way.

Reborn!

Cherish and I are so excited. We have officially started thinking of ourselves as doll collectors. We have been interested in the world of reborning and we are finally going to get one. We contacted a sculpter and artist Claire Taylor to create our custom reborns for us.

For those of you who don't know what reborns are, they are the cutest and most life like dolls ever. What's really cool is that with Reborn you can adopt a made doll already or get a custom one. Cherish and I are getting two custom african american boys. I am naming mines Omri Indio Sebastian to compliment his older doll brother Caleb. Cherish is deciding between Crispin Arlo Nicholas or Channing Arlo Nicholas to add on to Leah her girl doll.

We can't wait and once we get them we will post pics.
