Random Access Memories

Daft Punk's new album, "Random Access Memories" DROPS tomorrow. Can't wait.

Here's a great review of the album and a link to the video for the song "Get Lucky" featuring Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers.

What is your favorite Daft Punk song??

Enjoy!

"Junk"

I recently had the opportunity to be featured in a friend's short film titled "Junk". I played a stripper named Roxy. Roxy is having a hard time ya'll. She had dreams of being a dancer (which didn't work out) but has become a stripper to pay the bills. I didn't have any lines but I got featured and had a solo dance shot which was really cool. It was fun getting to see my old friend in action and all the behind the scenes work needed to create a film.
Thank you JAMES L. WILLIAMS!!!
Enjoy the clip!

The Guardian has an interesting article regarding the lack of high profile female choreographers, particularly in Great Britain. 

Do you think the same holds true for us here in the US? Are male choreographers more regarded, more funded, more praised for their work compared to female choreographers?

Hmm...well...
