Princeton WannaBe Blog
I'm not a real historian. I didn't grow up in Princeton. I don't have an Ivy League education.
I'm a total Princeton WannaBe.
Still, I gush about loving the heart of Princeton as much as I can!
Princeton Women Dig Their Curves! Princeton Women Dig Their Curves!
Yep! Princeton women dig their curves but dangerous curves? NO WAY!
Feisty felines in Princeton unite on the catwalk at their annual fashion show to raise awareness and resources to keep Princeton curves in peak condition!
Did you know 1:8 women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime?
TRUE!
Did you know the Breast Cancer Resource Center at the Princeton YWCA serves over 8,000 Princeton women diagnosed with breast cancer?
TRUE!

(including counseling, wigs & prostheses, support groups, mind/body wellness programs, teleconference and guest speaker series', print resources and financial assistance?)
TRUE!
Winter fashions from local retailers will be modeled by breast cancer survivors together with their husbands, children, sisters, doctors and nurses - a moving reminder of the unified team that supports each woman as she battles this disease.

(I started with a class from Dr. Miles and, I swear, I never looked at history the same way again. His lecture style inspired the "vibe" of our tours!)

Princeton Has Radical Women? Yep, Here's Where to Find Them:
The YWCA Annual Tribute to Women Event!
(Each year the YWCA honors women in Princeton who improve our community.)
I was lucky enough to be at a table FULL of Princeton change agents like Joy Chen, Tamera Matteo and Valerie Aguilar. (Not pictured were tablemates Emily Firmenich, Heather Kiscilywiz, Kirstin Haley, Lindsey Forden and Diana Conway ....
(I know, I'm a name dropper but they know it comes with the territory of my inner circle.)
During the event I kept thinking, "If the women at my table had one goal for an important cause they're the type to pull off the impossible."
(I can't figure out what to convince them to tackle but once I do, they could do a world of good for Princeton!)
Congrats to all the recipients of the 2011 YWCA Tribute to Women! Your work is SO appreciated!

About Twice a Year, I Like to Triangulate ...
The Triangle Club is turning 120 years old and damn has she got legs or WHAT??!!
This year is all about Family Feudalism .... here's a snippet from the press release .... yes, I'm shocked I'm considered "Media" but I'll TAKE IT!:
"With original music and lyrics by Princeton’s best and brightest, this year’s production gallops onto the stage in a flourish of Princeton pageantry fit for a musical comedy coronation. There is a Lady Gaga-inspired number about Queen Elizabeth I called “Power Face,” as well as a disco-inspired number called “Bring Back the Fever” that satirizes the return of the Plague, plus “No Monkey Business" which is about all the things that monks aren't allowed to do in monasteries, and, of course, Triangle’s trademark all-male kickline" .....
I'll admit, the All Male Kickline is what inspired my initial interest in the Triangle Club back in 2006. I've never missed a Triangle Show since moving to Princeton but it's not just the boys in heels that bring me back...... It's the idea that this tradition has been continued for so long. That it started with guys like F. Scott and Booth Tarkington. That ALL the incredible graduates of Princeton either performed or saw a Triangle Show.
Without a doubt, seeing a Triangle Club show is a "Life Bucket WannaBe Moment"
Tickets for Family Feudalism start at $22. Student and kid tickets $10 (on the web use promo code STUTIX). To order tickets by phone, call (609) 258-2787 or visit online www.mccarter.org. McCarter Theatre is located at 91 University Place in Princeton.

Who Crushes On Justin Bieber When They Can Crush on John O'Hara?
John O'Hara is buried in Princeton Cemetery.
(do you know why? we DO!)
The YWCA has a library room with his namesake!
(do you know why? we DON'T! but we LOVE it!)
Anyone that can tell me more about this John O'Hara bust at the YWCA gets 6 free spots on a ghost tour or cemetery tour.
If you win the tour, I'll tell you what I'm learning about the Global Consiousness Program going on in Princeton - it's NOT affiliated with Princeton University but one the their smartypants professors heads up the research - Kurt Godel and Einstein believed time travel ..... and mind reading were all possible! ALL TRUE!)
