Ripe with anticipation! Tonight #MagicFlute #LAopera and a most fantastical production...and #NinaNoo’s first #opera. Let’s hope she and Andy can last the 2h50m! #familytime #Mozart #opera #lavieenrose https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_wKDCJybF/?igshid=1162u9f3oqxe3

With the #ClimateStrike within eyeshot, a surprise has arrived…my dear colleague in #journalism + gal in rosé-fueled adventures @DanaThomasParis’ latest: #Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes. For the love of life and planet, READ THIS NOW. I got a peek last summer while she was on a mad deadline to finish it—and Andy, #NinaNoo and I invaded the glorious spread outside St. Tropez that she and her wonderful husband Hervé brought back to life, from vegetable garden to vintage 1968 gold Mustang. Looking forward to reading Fashionopolis again and again. What she painstakingly reports on within this book matters. And if you haven’t read Dana’s 2007 mindblowing prequel of sorts, #Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster, do. Dana loves fashion. But she also reveals the dark side to our collective passion for it. Let’s try to do better. 🌎 #DanaThomas #talentedfriends #climatecrisis #therevolutionbeginswithyou #fashion #fashionbook #fastfashionsucks #recyclereusereduce #lavieenrose https://www.instagram.com/p/B2hf-2nJlbz/?igshid=82xgc741xs7e

So do love these ceramic pots @kennyscharf locally made with @stanedmondson in #Pasadena. #NinaNoo digs them, too.#Kenny planted them in a nod to nurturing them beyond the exhibition term, a gesture of hope and possibility. “In addition to converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, caring for plants has proven to be a beneficial practice for humans as it requires patience, reduces stress, and promotes close observation,” reads the show’s summary @honorfrasergallery. They represent Kenny’s wish for a more respectful and conscientious future. #talentedfriends #kennyscharf #flinstone #honorfrasergallery #LAart #MadeInLA #lavieenrose https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Kaai5JzFV/?igshid=1fsrymlwdnran

On this Womens Equality Day, allow #NinaNoo+I to remind you: the Equal Rights Amendment (#ERA) proposes a guarantee of equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. It is created to abolish legal distinctions between men and women in terms of property, employment, divorce and other matters. It was INTRODUCED INTO CONGRESS in 1923. And it has YET TO BE RATIFIED NATIONWIDE. The @ERACoalition is working hard to make this finally happen. Proceeds from the sale of this @MichaelStarsInc Tee go toward this fight. And it IS a fight that I cannot believe we are still undertaking nearly 100 years after this amendment’s introduction. Let’s do this. 💪🏽💄 #WomensEqualityDay 8/26 #FeminsmISforEverybody. #feminist #mother #sister #daughter #wife #lavieenrose https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rC5lOJqj6/?igshid=1gi24ms9x0dni

🥂🎂 #FBF to this weekend a year ago, when I turned #50 and danced under the stars on a rooftop in downtown LA with my best gal (and a glamorous gal she can be, that #NinaNoo). Oh, yes, that means I can add a year more to my #wonderfullife. Mind you, it’s not always #wonderful (not by a long shot)—but I’ve always insisted on living with a glass half full of Champagne than half empty; learn from + transcend the not so good that invariably happens; live (as wisely as I feel like it at the moment) like there’s no tomorrow. Hell, I’m a #Gemini born in the transformational year of #1968. Can’t beat a launching off point like that. #HappyBirthday to all my fellow #Geminis. 🥂🥂 #birthday #May24 #dancingontherooftop #lavienrose https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2mhgtpgtF/?igshid=19s0quue425pg

May-born babies as we both are, my #sister #BlancaApodaca, you stand apart. 🌟From songwriting and singing, playing instruments and producing your own albums, you share your talent and vulnerability and insight. From painting and drawing, writing and publishing your own children’s books and supporting yourself and your child via your canvases, you demonstrate your endless creativity and resourcefulness, determination and drive. As the single mother of a beautifully imaginative daughter with autism, each day you prove your compassion and capability, your resilience and courage, your resolve and willpower. 🙌🏽 You are an artist, a poet, a dreamer, an advocate, a parent, a realist, an entrepreneur, a hippy-at-heart, a dynamo, a cheese, a star and—as your 8-year-old niece #NinaNoo notes—a #hero. And, like it or not, you will always be my little sister—albeit a BIG role model of how it is done. 🎂 #HAPPYBIRTHDAY @blancaapodaca_artist! LOVE YOU MADLY. 💋🧀 #birthday #taurus #taurean #tauruswoman #Maybirthday #May8 #1970 #LAwoman #ASDmom #sistersforever https://www.instagram.com/p/BxNSUJDACnt/?igshid=13z6ms38pisoq

Ever witnessed the expression on an 8 year old’s face at the first surge of a superstar’s voice as she flies overhead on wires? At the first sight of an army exquisitely executing modern dance moves? At the first explosion of stage pyrotechnics or a confetti canon or any number of #OTT scenes at a concert? Thanks to #NinaNoo’s #fairygodmother @KathyJeung, a longtime pal and makeupartist to @Pink, I got a seat to the best show on earth tonight: watching my kiddo experience her first-ever #concert. Auntie Kathy generously extended the #VIP treatment tonight to Nina, her #godfather @MichaelSchmidt (who has also created costumes for #Pink, and had just left a fitting for #KatyPerry before the show) and yours truly, from the incredible tickets to the intimate VIP post-meet up where the kid got to meet the #popstar, who couldn’t have been lovelier as she immediately got down on a knee to hug and talk to Nina. Sure, it's a school night, and we snuck into home after #midnight so as to not wake daddy (he did). But it will be worth every harrowing minute as we struggle to get her off to school in a few hours... #THANKYOU KATHY #firsts #firstconcert #motheranddaughter #superstarkid #generousfriends #grateful #BeautifulTrauma @staplescenterla #dtla #tonight #lavieenrose https://www.instagram.com/p/BwT424ZAGxh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e1lvahbo5wee

Fifty-seven heaven. On the eve of my Andy’s #birthday, a #sunsethike up a less-frequented spot of #GriffithPark, and #NinaNoo raises her arms in #celebration, or something like that. Then #steaksandmartinis at one of #LA’s oldest haunts. #mifamilia #Saturdaynight #familytime #happybirthdaymylove #lavieenrose https://www.instagram.com/p/BtIJzYYAlsJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q0tiasoashzq
