Last night (yes, on a Sunday), we went to see Katy Perry’s concert in L.A. at the NOKIA Theatre. I tried to be selective with the photos I chose to post, but as usual instead of “less is more” I went with my stand-by “more is more” route.

The concert was complete sensory overload. I hope some of the photos do that justice.

I’m always up for a good celebrity sighting, and we got a few of them at this concert. First we saw Perez Hilton down in the Nokia Lounge. Then Russell Brand showed up to watch his wife perform and brought Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise with him.

They were standing behind us the entire time surrounded by security. I have to say it was pretty distracting. Mostly because I kept wanting to check out Russell Brand’s reaction.

There were tons of props and amazing dancers throughout the show. In this song, the dancers were doing trapeze-cirque du soleil-style maneuvers that were mucho impressive. In hindsight, I wish I would have taken some video.

Katy Perry beat Lady Gaga in terms of wardrobe changes and I didn’t think that was possible. In the course of this song alone, Katy changed her costume well over 6 times!

It was a great show. I think anyone would be hard-pressed to leave this concert without being entertained.

Check out some videos I took too…sorry they are shaky. Recording video with my digital camera is not my strong suit. I just HAD to take video of California Gurls for my 4-year old niece back in Wisconsin in hopes of impressing her. She sings me the song all the time since I’m her auntie that lives in California. So sweet.

Oh yeah…that shriek at 1:41 is me. Those beach balls came out of nowhere and scared the living daylights out of me. :)

Morning Glory

No “What I’m Working On…” post today, since I have kept pretty up-to-date on sharing all my projects with you this week. There is however a birthday card in the works, but I cannot show that to you until it reaches the birthday girl.

I am very excited for Halloween to be over soon because I can’t wait to no longer have to repeatedly see commercials for scary movies. Me and scary movies do not mesh well together. In fact, I hate them. I may be a baby, but that’s just fine with me.

I am looking forward to more commercials for movies like “Morning Glory” with Rachel McAdams (release date November 10, 2010). Have you seen the trailer for this movie yet? Looks cute to me. And it’s by the same screen writer that did “The Devil Wears Prada.”

Blue Valentine

I really really really want to see this movie. I looks really good...plus it doesn't hurt that Ryan Gosling is in it. I can't think of one single bad movie that he has made.

Starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. According to imdb, the movie is a look at the idyllic past and troubled present of working-class couple Dean (Gosling) and Cindy (Williams). The film centers on a contemporary married couple, charting their evolution over a span of years by cross-cutting between time periods. USA release date is December 31, 2010 (limited).

And a few fun facts…

The screenplay won the 2006 Chrysler Film Project contest. The prize was $1 million of funding, courtesy of the Chrysler Brand and production company Silverwood Films.

The film was originally set to shoot in spring of 2008, but was delayed due to Heath Ledger's death. The producers and director delayed the film out of respect for Michelle Williams, Ledger's ex-girlfriend and mother of his daughter Matilda, rather than going ahead and shooting the film with another actress in Michelle's role.

Adorable Stop Motion Wedding Invitation - “a slice of invite”

I just love stop motion videos…and I just love wedding invitations. So what could be better than an adorable stop motion wedding invitation?

The other day I stumbled upon the sweet and oh-so creative wedding invitation of Jodi and Kurt (of Jodi Miller Photography) entitled “a slice of invite,” and it has had me enamored ever since. Take a look-see and I bet you fall in love with this couple and their creativity too.

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros - "Home”

Every single time I hear “Home” by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros on the football commercials, it gets stuck in my head. But that’s perfectly fine with me since I happen to really like this song.

With lines like; “I’ll follow you into the park, through the jungle, through the dark, girl, I’ve never loved one like you,” the song tugs at my heart stings and makes me melt. What a cute song this would be to be played at a pretty bohemian wedding. Don’t you think?

Banana Song (I'm A Banana) by Onision

Um, I *love* this video so much.

And the last time I was visiting Wisconsin I got my 3 year old niece hooked on it too. We would watch it over and over again and dance along with the banana.

This song/video just makes me smile. Try NOT to get the song stuck in your head. I dare you. And have a great weekend!
