Currently obsessed with Orange Is The New Black. Can't stop watching it. Hitting the perfect point of pithy and soul punching. My type of show.
Doesn't hurt that the lovely/talented Regina Spektor wrote the intro song. She also sings it. Badass bitch!
Recently wrote a small FB post on the type of singers/artists that I want my daughter to grow up listening to. Strong, empowered, vulnerable, intelligent women who compose, write and sing their own music. I want my daughter to grow up assured in her place in this world. I want her to feel like she can make a difference, even if it is tiny or big. Big ideas, big movements, big thoughts come from the smallest beginnings. Music can have a huge impact on how you see the world. I don't want to sound trite but, Ani DiFranco and Tori Amos made huge impacts upon my teenage sensibilities. Not to say I wasn't a fan of The Backstreet Boys (after all, I did see them in concert here in Panama), but I want her to know what good music sounds like and that women are capable of making life changing music. For all.
