Great Night to Art Mingle: Touch Salon in Montclair




Teresa Bozikis (owner of Touch Salon), Jin Hei Kang (artist), and Me
This art party was just how it's supposed to be - super fun and inspiring!
Teresa Bozikis organizes her parties every 2nd Friday of the month. This event is getting more and more popular and it really brings the neighborhood together to share an evening of creativity with friends old and new. So many of the Montclair Village community come out to show their support - Eric (Montclair Village Festival) and his girlfriend (go Wisconsin girls!) deejayed for us, Yingi (owner of Kakui Sushi) hooked up fresh sushi for everyone, the beautiful stylists of Touch Salon hosted the party, guys from Tonga Lounge and Garibaldi's came out...
So much love!

I met so many new people - it was awesome.
I'm also so grateful to my great friends who totally made my night by just being there!



Like my fabulous friend, Maurice Williams!
Someday when you're famous I'll show you this picture to remind you of the good ole days!
I was surprised to see my actor friends, Jessica Payne and hubby Kyle, before they head out for a national tour together! And the juggling Ron Schwartz!
And thank you to Imad for the yummy (and so appropriate) dragon roll.

I definitely feel like I was able to share my art in a great way.
thank you, teresa and touch salon




Truckee
3rd Annual Historic Downtown Truckee. Arts & Crafts Festival
Jul 31-Aug 1, 2010


It is a tradition that I make it to Lake Tahoe at least once a year for an art show. I exhibited with Pacific Fine Arts in Truckee for the first time this year.
There were some very interesting attendees...


Yes, these crazy Alpacas came to appreciate the art.
First time I ever saw Alpacas at an art show.

Along with having a great weekend at the art show, I also got to camp at a beautiful reservoir.
Wow.


Morning sunlight to wake me up!


A perfect little scene of Tyler with his fresh cup of coffee, throwing the ball for Wiki, who is flying off the edge of the picture, and the hot air balloon taking off in the background.
Lovely!

Always reinventing

On Sunday, I had a most leisurely day hanging out with my girls, Christa, Laila & Wiki. As you can see, we were so happy together!!!

The very next day, OMG! I turned blonde! And Laila turned into Ollie! And Wiki got a really big butt. :0


Always reinventing...

Kimberly's Glee Audition Videos



Here are my audition videos for Glee.  The Glee website is so crazy right now and so many people asked me how to watch my video.  Well, it's all about the timing on that website.  Sometimes it's open and sometimes it's overwhelmed with Gleek onslaught.

So, here's another way to see my vids!

From Broadway to Samba to WORKING the Musical


The amazing Jaja Bolivar invited our Forever Broadway Samba Ensemble to dance for a benefit birthday party for Alec Benafluor at this super-sweet club, LEVEL 26, in San Mateo on Thursday, April 1st.  Michelle Parodi choreographed our number to "Mas que nada".  The dancers are Jaja Bolivar, Michelle Parodi, Gerrad Bohl, Iris Smith, Jenna Davi, Shatese Stewart and Corinne Levy.  All of us also performed at the recent San Francisco musical theatre extravaganza, "Forever Broadway", which had its encore performance on March 21st again at the Herbst Theatre.




That encore performance of "Forever Broadway" rocked!  It was such a blast.  The cast shrunk from about 80 "show people" down to 60.  I had the awesome opportunity to step-up to a few roles I had understudied.  My favorite, of course, was singing opera girl in "The Girl in 14G" with fabulous Jessica Payne and Monica Turner!  YAY!!!  My absolutely favorite new song - how lucky was that!??!  Flying through neverland was fun, too!  Kinda like how I'm flying in Ty's arms after the show!


I have to spend a moment to say how much I loved this experience.  I was so inspired by the singing of superstars like Desiree Goyette, Jenna Davi, Monica Turner, Jessica Payne, Halsey Varadi, Chad Benjamin Potter and the beautiful dancing of Iris Smith!  I mean, everyone was HOT, but I have to give props!  ;)  

My lovely loving family and friends so came out to support me that night!  THANK YOU!!!  Tyler and his mom, who flew all the way from Wisconsin.  My girls: Jeanne, Bridget & Juliet!  And my teacher and mentor, Susan Gundunas with her brilliant son Matthew!  And, surprise surprise - a whole crew from the Fung Clan!!! Yay, Brenda, Chrissie and fam!!!  I love you all so so much!




Now that things have settled down from that, I've right into my next adventure: 
"WORKING the Musical" at A.C.T.

We started rehearsals yesterday.  I'm super excited to be playing the role of the passionate waitress, Delores!  There's more, too!  I don't want to give too much away, though.  You'll just have to come and see for yourself - the first two weekends of June.

Again, I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such talented people.  We are all each others' teachers.  XOXOXOXO - kimbirdlee

Forever Broadway Hits San Francisco!!!










4Ever Broadway last night - Opening Night at the Herbst -

OMG - We did it!!!


Seriously - we did it!  I am so so sleepy now and it's so late, but there's a little rascally dascal in my head that's buzzing around!  Time to Blog!  I want to celebrate all the joy and excitement from my show on Saturday night, mixed in with the cozy family-vibe of my recital on Friday and a heart-warming service this morning to top it off!  Wiki is snoring quietly next to me, my parents just got on a flight back to WI, my tyboy is with Mama Christine in their 5-star tribal hut, my fridge is full of fresh choy, snowpeas, and dim sum... what more could a girl want?  Well... if you really wanna know... there's always more - more dreams, more wishes, more desires...!  I feel so blessed to know so many inspiring and talented people - they are all teaching me so so so much about singing, dancing, living and laughing.  I feel so so grateful for the support from my family, mom & dad, Cha & Ralph, Keith & Amy, Nikki & Pat, Susan, Ty & Mama C (in march!).  And one more thing before I fly to dreamland, to Grandma Miller: you've been my Grandma with a capital G since the day I was born, you fill my childhood memories with sunshine and gumdrops and bluegills and pickles, and I love you so much and I know you are safe and protected.


THANK YOU!!!

You Raise Me Up


It's official!  I am beginning my new position as Soloist for the Church of Christ Scientist: Point Richmond on Valentine's Day.   This is the start of a new musical journey for all of us because we are going in a new direction there and really aiming to introduce a newer and more "current" approach to music.  I'll be working with the talented pianist Vera Breheda and another fabulous singer Dana Anderson.  On Valentine's Day, I will be singing "You Raise Me Up", one of Josh Groban's hits.  How sweet to start my new position on the day of LOVE!!!
