I'm an American from Chicago making a home for myself in Leiden to go back to school. I signed the lease on my new apartment on the eve of my 32nd Birthday. Join me as I tiptoe through the tulips of Leiden! I'll write about my observations and my adjustment to this new lifestyle.

I read Burlesque star Dita von Teese talk about the Crazy Horse Paris in an interview at about the time of her run at the Crazy Horse in Las Vegas. As a teenager she saw a picture of the iconic Crazy Horse Paris dancers dressed as toy soldiers in her father's Playboy magazine that stuck with her. In the interview she talks about the glamour of the Crazy Horse and how she dreamed of becoming a Crazy Horse dancer but didn't fit the physical requirements. It inspired her but she surpassed her dream and instead she became the first guest dancer and created her own show. Her contribution to the world started with those images in Playboy. You never know where you will find inspiration.
I was thinking of her when I bought this red lipstick at Sephora. It's supposed to be the color that all of the Crazy Horse Dancers wear.
