Happy Tuesday readers!
I have a little treat for you guys today, something a little different, but also something I'm sure you'll enjoy!

Although fashion is my primary focus, we can't forget that it's a form of art. And there's something about good art that tickles every fashionistas inner creativity! I love to support local talent and this woman's got a lot of it!

So, I've come across an up and coming poet-turned-director residing in New York City, who prides herself in being committed to theatre in the way that it can raise awareness for human unity and social justice. Kristen Tomanocy is a graduate student at New York University, and equally important, she's the director of Fool For Love. Fool for Love is an adaptation of Sam Shepard's critically acclaimed play on a tale of intense love rivaled by untouched hatred, and sweltering family dysfunction. Tomanocy's play is sprinkled with pistols, Local performance poets, tequila, and little bit of the Big city in the old American West. Promising to be a production of deep and surprising depth.

After speaking with Kristen about the progress and buzz of her production, I'm intrigued to see how the blend of spoken word and the drama of the plot, interact, and how the audience reacts. 

The play opens up THIS weekend, August 10th-12 at 8pm on each night, at The Zoo Theatre in Brooklyn. I encourage you guys to check it out, definitely a fun outing for friends, significant others, or random people you find on the street that love theatre. I'll be updating this post after the production with a full review. And you didn't think i'd forget the fashion aspect, did you? I'll have a full feature of the directors wardrobe! So keep checking back, and contact PoeticFoolForLove@gmail.com for free tickets! 


"The best thing people could walk away with would be a new understanding of the way human beings can persist through the way their past and family has weighed them down. Because, in the play such sadness comes from the things that have made them happy. Such tragedy has come from their happiness. So what do you let go of? Do you let go of your happiness? Or can you let go of your tragedies?"
