In between individual photo sessions, the Mice were at Play in a by-gone age. We danced (Charleston), sipped wonderful cocktails (Floridora and Gala Temptress), ate (Crab stuffed mushrooms) and socialized. We all agreed that this night was a mega hit! Next year, let's meet again at the same place, same time with maybe a ... 40s dress up theme?<br /><br />While waiting for Belathée pictures, catch a sneak peek of the elaborate costumes adorned that day in the video below.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwOEBD8A1kfbNCK5UE66mN70B9oC_uFfD0LfYTLi-dFLW7MXtjW6dsmVsYsNCLgOfxRSW0YMsqLxX8drNGJ1Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />For more videos click <a href="http://sharing.theflip.com/session/4b3ec2ab6c519de5a1c95528445a4b8e/video/9683327">here</a>.nadiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02082040471671509695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8805849561617772046.post-982533361069930942010-01-20T18:21:00.000-04:002010-01-20T18:22:17.864-04:00Dianne"Nadia,<br />You may not believe this but, about a week before receiving your invitation, I was in the bathroom primping and admiring myself. My hair was curling just right, the bags under my eyes seemed less visible, and the combination of my outfit and stance hid my belly roll, enhancing my curves. Then I realized that the moment would soon be over and too bad I couldn't just snap a photo and memorialize it. After all, it's nice to have physical reminders of our sexiness and allure (such an aphrodisiac, feeling good about oneself), especially when we run ourselves ragged most of the time. A couple of days later my good friend Miranda was in town from LA where she is a celebrity and fashion photographer. I mentioned this to her, suggesting a boudoir shoot, and even told her about Mice and that maybe it could become an event. She thought it was a great idea. Then I got your invitation!

We have selected the avant-garde Harlem Renaissance theme (Jazz-era 1920s-1930s) to spark our creativity.<br /><br />We will travel back in time and up to Harlem to pose in front of Dorothée Brand, one of the talented photographer of Belathée Photography (http://www.belathee.com/). This MaP event is designed to help us reconnect with this youthful past time of dress-up. Our dare: exude the glamour of the era and “work” the camera! ...all the while, sipping delicious cocktails by a premier mixologist, listening to wonderful jazz and lounging in an exquisite apartment once occupied by Josephine Baker!<br /><br />Arrive on time and our stylists Johanne and Kathy will give a mini-class on make-up and accessorizing. Bring a mirror, your brushes, make-up and vintage accessories.<br /><br />For those who would like some input with your glamorous look, we would be happy to hook you up to a Mice group shopping adventure.<br /><br />Important: Some of you have shared with us your desire to have a personal photoshoot sitting. We can accommodate up to 5 Mice. Please contact us for the fee and time slot at miceatplay@gmail.com.<br /><br />What women were doing in the 20s? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3svvCj4yhYc&feature=related">Click here</a>.nadiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02082040471671509695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8805849561617772046.post-72627789919740490142010-01-06T11:30:00.004-04:002010-01-06T11:52:43.668-04:002010 wishes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbfvBgBzMzfWsyZvOaZJI4CRf8lorlhbgLsBWoD_re5G0nEjrjF9rnhP4sRefKGOMdkMJ86Ljhyphenhyphen23DrAGBwEx_aNXHHqcQxjsR3yGOO43-rTDIZYdtX2PRmpPNOAZMYYjnM-bQoDzBYcB6/s1600-h/HappynewyearMice2010.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbfvBgBzMzfWsyZvOaZJI4CRf8lorlhbgLsBWoD_re5G0nEjrjF9rnhP4sRefKGOMdkMJ86Ljhyphenhyphen23DrAGBwEx_aNXHHqcQxjsR3yGOO43-rTDIZYdtX2PRmpPNOAZMYYjnM-bQoDzBYcB6/s320/HappynewyearMice2010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423649751363469666" border="0" /></a>

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise $1160</span>. We had set the bar at $600, and so, BRAVO, Mice for having well-exceeded what was already a lofty goal. The total amount collected will go to the CAMBA organization which manages the Park Slope Women's Shelter.<br /><br />It seems we've left the Shelter speechless. Here are their comments when they learned of our large gift:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"I can only say, wow! I am rarely shocked in my profession, yet always amazed at the generosity of fellow human beings, and how simple gestures can restore faith in humanity. How wonderful! Thank you!"</span> Candace Bowen, Creative Arts and Recreation Coordinator<br /><br />Our original idea had been to pay for the Thanksgiving feast at the Shelter. But, we hope you will be as proud as we are to learn that our donation has the ability to do even more! Shawn Young, the Shelter Director told us it could pay for two projects that will have a greater and long lasting impact.<br /><br />First, we will buy <span style="font-weight: bold;">Move-Out Kits</span> for the women who are about to settle into their own apartments. The kits will empower women to start their new life, and ease what is otherwise a scary transition. Due to recent city budget cuts, the Shelter has not been able to continue to afford the kits. We will help bridge that gap.<br /><br />Second, Shawn noted <span style="font-style: italic;">"even though a shelter is a temporary home, it doesn't have to be sterile."</span> He believes that creativity is a great healer. He, therefore, proposed that <span style="font-weight: bold;">we create two beautiful murals for the Shelter, side-by-side with the women who live there</span>. If there are Mice who are interested in participating in the creation of the mural in either an advisory or artistic role, please let us know.<br /><br />The Shelter is always thrilled to have volunteers anytime.

I wish each one of you a year full of<br />friendship, thrills, creativity, discoveries and adventures! Mice, in<br />2009, let's cherish our intrepidity and lightness of being!<br /><br />Since I believe that each event should have the purpose of challenging<br />or nurturing a side of us, and create wonderful experiences/memories,<br />I have been coming up with ideas for the 2009 Mice events (see margin). Let me know which<br />one you like and you are welcome to suggest your ideas.<br /><br />Mice you have many talents which you must tap into. Don't be<br />intimidated by doing something that you 'think' you are not good at or<br />you won't like. Mice at Play is very much about pushing ourselves to<br />do something new or going outside our comfort zone. Why? Because the<br />thrill and excitement you'll get from the experience will keep you<br />"crisp" and upbeat. You'll be amaze at your own accomplishments. As<br />well as your peers and loved ones. You'll keep a wonderful memory of<br />it. And you'll share it with new friends. Indeed you'll get all the<br />support of a united group of nurturing but daring women. The Mice<br />will give us strength to do things you would not normally do. If one<br />can do it, why not you?<br /><br />So Mice, the first event which seems to make a lot of you nervous is<br />the Acting Class with George C. Heslin, an incredible play director.<br />Don't be turned off by fear of the stage! There won't be any. We will be<br />in an acting rehearsal studio, all together, for 3 hours during which<br />we'll uncover and stimulate a new type of creativity--our acting<br />ability. It is going to be a lot of fun. And you will be in the right<br />hands. I saw how in 1 hour he transformed Manon's acting. It was an<br />amazing transformation. Who knows? You may overcome your fear of<br />speaking in public, gain confidence, and more.<br /><br />So Mice, have the courage to challenge yourself. Make space and time<br />to nurture your creative skills. This is a chance to say YES to George's<br />acting class on Sunday, January 25th!

Something creative. Something that would push us outside of our comfort zone and which would make us feel empowered. So I got an idea...<br /><br />I called George C Heslin, the Artistic Director of critically acclaimed Origin Theatre Company (http://www.origintheatre.org/). This is what we came up with:<br /><br />George will lead a 3 hour work shop "From Page to Stage", a creative afternoon using varied techniques and theatre games to write our very own play. No writing skills required just be prepared to laugh, skip, dance and role. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">About George: </span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJBZvlTgNwH6H_rWfNk9PRdMe8-LSNu5PhCZHQuxttiFmEE83hBGa9wYeB_B_sVFg57JAlSW6HIlgkBmjP5X0Py4GV223GadBiC5651HMNYq83jYvMpLNNuL59kIUPHs_Dgl0wxlAf4kA/s1600-h/George.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 166px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJBZvlTgNwH6H_rWfNk9PRdMe8-LSNu5PhCZHQuxttiFmEE83hBGa9wYeB_B_sVFg57JAlSW6HIlgkBmjP5X0Py4GV223GadBiC5651HMNYq83jYvMpLNNuL59kIUPHs_Dgl0wxlAf4kA/s400/George.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278189870630324962" /></a><br /><br />George has been an actor, director and producer for seventeen years. He is a graduate of the Samuel Beckett Centre Trinity College Dublin,The Abbey Theatre Dublin Directors Program and The HB Studio New York where he studied with the legendary Uta Hagen.<br /><br />Prior to college he was resident stage manager at Dublin’s Gate Theatre where he worked on 11 productions. He spent time in the drama department in RTE Irelands national TV station.<br /><br />As an actor he recently completed the Broadway national tour of the hit show Stones In His Pockets. In New York he has appeared in many off-Broadway productions including Juno and The Paycock at The Roundabout , The Blowin of Baile Gall Irish Arts Centre and The Colleen Bawn Irish Repertory Theatre (Drama Desk Nomination) and his one man show Misterman (short listed for best actorat the Dublin festival). Regionally he has played at The Kennedy Center, Old Globe San Diego, Pittsburgh Public, Studio Arena Buffalo, <br />Virginia Stage Company, Penguin Rep, The Caldwell Theatre Florida and Syracuse Stage, to name a few.<br /><br />London stage appearances include The Kings Head, The Drill Hall and he has played twice on London’s West End with Philadelphia Here I Come and The British Premiere of Elegies.<br /><br />In Ireland he has worked with almost every theatre company including The Abbey Theatre Ireland’s National Theatre, Druid Theatre Company, The Gate, The Olympia ,Passion Machine, and The Lyric Theatre Belfast.<br /><br />Film and TV includes The Boxer, De ja Vu, Third Watch and As The World Turns for C.B.S. Feature films include Three Days In Dublin with Gretchen Moll.<br /><br />When: <span style="font-weight:bold;">Sunday January 24th from 2pm to 5pm</span>.<br /><br />George has assured me that the larger the group the more productive and creative the class will be. <span style="font-weight:bold;">So with this in mind, all MICE who recruits a new member to the group will receive a discount. <br /><br />Mice be daring! Discover your hidden talent and let yourself go!<br /><br />Please RSVP to me before December 26th at: themiceplay@mac.com.nadiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02082040471671509695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8805849561617772046.post-75092663713797861312008-12-09T14:50:00.003-04:002008-12-09T14:56:58.014-04:00Cocktail Mice Party<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihIf-IpTmEStvA-VGjhmJfeO7FXxh2A90BLxQWADEMOJuzfH8Y-ku-zMGjEY4c9Iwo37ypzV8nMjIBHINMNPeMjpH0Fb1IwUH1pYfVaZVjDS9bxPK79jvckfgPKwZsr8A5Qk4OkDr8PIzQ/s1600-h/EnriqueEnriquezStetson9.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihIf-IpTmEStvA-VGjhmJfeO7FXxh2A90BLxQWADEMOJuzfH8Y-ku-zMGjEY4c9Iwo37ypzV8nMjIBHINMNPeMjpH0Fb1IwUH1pYfVaZVjDS9bxPK79jvckfgPKwZsr8A5Qk4OkDr8PIzQ/s320/EnriqueEnriquezStetson9.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277866306337773442" /></a><br />Let's meet at "The Hide Out", Fort Green, Brooklyn on December 16th at 8.30pm.

(Forgive me Annabel for mixing my bad pictures to yours...! )<br /><br />Click here to look at our exploits in the kitchen: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nadiastieglitz/sets/72157610398352643/show/nadiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02082040471671509695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8805849561617772046.post-69537292087019459982008-09-26T23:03:00.002-03:002008-09-26T23:41:46.247-03:00Fall EventsDear Mice!<br /><br />Welcome back after a long and hopefully very relaxing summer. September always seems so crazy with the return to work, school and general chores. With that in mind, it's time to regroup and organize our first event of the fall. We can now focus on having a bit of fun, can't we?<br /><br />Here are some suggestions for our October-November-December events!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. Cook like a real Japanese chef- from tsukiji market with Akiko! <br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjAMRAC-4vVEFdzyxh1xj79qiukMZoJu9_g2T0gp30JgAX3rK8uQfX2ykIOxE9w9OQ_mnUrne5lZhWzUKjaRmzDo20xlj6h_BEIrlW5l2gD2-VBeXR7BO3Ie6cMdMN80Tz-UuU8ZmCbWbV/s1600-h/SUSHI.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjAMRAC-4vVEFdzyxh1xj79qiukMZoJu9_g2T0gp30JgAX3rK8uQfX2ykIOxE9w9OQ_mnUrne5lZhWzUKjaRmzDo20xlj6h_BEIrlW5l2gD2-VBeXR7BO3Ie6cMdMN80Tz-UuU8ZmCbWbV/s320/SUSHI.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250525226441492274" border="0" /></a><br />Akiko is a former chef at Nobu, Pong (Pichet's Ong's dessert bar) and Hudson yard catering (Danny Meyer's catering). It is a 4hr30 class. I am in the process of negotiating a price but it will be between $70 and $90 including food.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Challenge yourself!

Because drama supports a redemption of the realms of play, imaginativeness, exuberance, and having fun we will be performing drama games. They will help us increase concentration, develop thinking skills and coordinate thought, emotion and action. They will train us in the ability to be creative and spontaneous. This class might start you on a wonderful journey to learn more about how action methods and drama can support growth and change in fascinating -- and even fun -- ways.<br />Exact contents of class and price to come.

And what a night! We all got to punch Lee's boxing champions and one of us got KO. (Guess who?!). We then ended up around a Korean grill and devoured delicious food. I don't know about you boxing MICE, but my muscles were aching for a few days. Antje and Carmen were sick (yeah yeah yeah, I think they chickened out when they saw our big muscles :)].<br />Sarah who is 5 months pregnant took some pictures of our exploits (Thank you Sarah!).

Fourteen angry mice!<br /><br />Lee said that if we want to go inside the ring and punch the sh@%&! out of his champions we had to wear of mouth guard. How many of us will buy one? I take the bets. I'll bring my night guard. At least it will serve once. I paid 800 dollars for it (It must be made of gold) to never wear it. The day I got it I asked my dentist how he could even conceive a French girl wearing this horror at night time.

We are always looking for great events, great ideas.nadiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02082040471671509695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8805849561617772046.post-44106042457082625532008-05-05T13:58:00.003-03:002008-05-05T14:44:53.452-03:00May 16th, Don's Bogam BBQ & Wine Bar, 9pm<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0uZtBFImiCxUshkG8V7mluXXV__Ng3pcLC_RAY3b9zAxKSYI2y7KSD-MWScf811pHS0USo8WQ4P4ja_-g2N6nL4sXV-Njy15gep8EgQOJcex0B_zEP7LkAU0kqlrANjGD1lENyNV3WbKf/s1600-h/korean.jpeg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0uZtBFImiCxUshkG8V7mluXXV__Ng3pcLC_RAY3b9zAxKSYI2y7KSD-MWScf811pHS0USo8WQ4P4ja_-g2N6nL4sXV-Njy15gep8EgQOJcex0B_zEP7LkAU0kqlrANjGD1lENyNV3WbKf/s400/korean.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196950095624026322" border="0" /></a><br /><b>I've just booked for 15 MICE, </b><b>"Don's Bogam BBQ & Wine Bar</b>", a 4 star rating Korean restaurant, located at 17 E. 32nd Street New York, NY 10079, (212) 683-2200, for 9pm.nadiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02082040471671509695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8805849561617772046.post-28690722577893184762008-05-04T10:58:00.006-03:002008-05-05T13:53:46.340-03:00Scouting Chinatown<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv2MnUIEScM1DKvOFKoHWh9zAMJrbPwwh1VpO1DDz6Cp_Fxce8Xsio4biUbUMS4nmCPNyNSMAvCAWi2ZG1kH49tdWLmwB_uE5DSUi09M-1tR4-p1XGGI_l9avrzIUWrvgxOAddWC9JWHqK/s1600-h/Belatheebw.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv2MnUIEScM1DKvOFKoHWh9zAMJrbPwwh1VpO1DDz6Cp_Fxce8Xsio4biUbUMS4nmCPNyNSMAvCAWi2ZG1kH49tdWLmwB_uE5DSUi09M-1tR4-p1XGGI_l9avrzIUWrvgxOAddWC9JWHqK/s400/Belatheebw.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196937305211418818" border="0" /></a><br />Dorothée, Annabel and I wandered around Chinatown last Thursday to organize our photography event on June 11th. We'll meet up at 6.15pm in a tea parlor (Green Tea).<br /><br />We've booked Joe Shanghai Dim Sum restaurant, for 9pm which should leave us about 1hr30 to walk around the neighborhood and practise our photographic skills.<br /><br />Here are some of Dorothée's shots that she captured during our scouting trip. Can we do as well?
