My daughter has a supporting role in her middle school production of the Sound of Music. She needs some black character shoes. She will need to do some dancing. She's insisting on shopping at a local dance specialty store and spending about $90, claiming that those shoes are "better" than the more reasonably priced ones we could find on the internet or at a discount dance store.

What should I look for? As a single mom, I don't have unlimited funds. I give her a "clothing allowance" but I retain some control over it and think that $90 on these shoes (which will only be for this show, maybe one more, maybe not) will mean too many other things she can't have. Also, at a size 9.5, I'm not certain her feet have stopped growing.

Advice?

I have a precocious 18 month old. She can sing (on key) and is adoreable ( I know all children are, but she really is beautiful). When a group of people are around she will start to sing and dance. We were looking at agencies to send her photo's in to when she fell into our coffee table and got a small chip out of her front tooth (we had a heavy blanket over it in case that happened, but that did not help it). Is it possible she could still get commercials or modeling gigs even though there is a little chip in her tooth?

Critics have noted the prevalence of the theme of appearance bersus reality in Othello. In his soliliquy at the end of Act II, Iago declares "when devils will the blackest sins put on, they do suggest at first with heavenly shows./as i do now"
In the first two acts of the drama waht are Iago's devilish intentions in regards to Roderigo, Cassio, and Othello? And what "heavenly shows" does he use to disguise his blackest sins?

I mean, I remember people caring about the way they spoke, etiquette, self respect. There was a beauty in our country that was simple. Yards were kept up. Cars were beautiful, people cared if there was trash or dirt on the streets, so they maintained it clean (they did, not depending on city sweepers) People dressed beautifully. Most importantly people had faith in God, and respected God. Now a days everyone including corporate commercials are into, let's see how foul we can be and lets see how far we can go with foul language, and no principles or morals. How can we be so blind as to want all this instead of the goodness in all things around us? Are people actually weakening and going around blindly by the powers Satan has cast over them? Driving around in new cars, having credit cards, using foul language and thinking "oh it's cool". Never opening up the bible or getting on their knees to pray? It's not a pretty sight. from the vessel.

I just finished reading The Peony Pavilion in my Chinese Drama & Performing Arts class and in it the heroine who is pretty much secluded from the outside world, visits a beautiful garden, which awakens her passions and she has a dream about a "romantic tryst" with a man she has never met. She falls in love with him through that one dream and falls really sick and eventually dies. I won't ruin the ending, but it's a happy one. :)
I had a dream that I was having dinner with my family & current boyfriend & then I said to myself in the dream, "I should date Jose," who I had just met a few days before. I would have never thought of him that way but my dream helped me realize it. That's the closest I can get to the story. Anyone else?
