Sharing something personal -- video of my daughter
She finally gave the okay to make the YouTube link public. ;)


The background is that there was a little controversy about her singing the words to "Born This Way" exactly as written, with reference to sexuality. This is a thumper-heavy area. She essentially said, "F*ck that." (Being my daughter, she might have flat-out SAID it...lol)

The cool thing is that after she sang it, I looked to find the principal and see his reaction, and he had tears streaming down his face (in a good way).

Anyway, thought you might enjoying watching a young progressive (she's attended Seattle's Occupy) sing an awesome song.

:hi:

6. She used to be focused on musical theatre...
but now it's strictly dramatic theatre; I'm hoping she does something with music though, as it is her first love.

Thanks. :)
