Linktastic – April 2015

It’s nearly the end of April, which means it’s time for Linktastic! It’s been a crazy-busy April, between closing one show and starting rehearsals for another in the span of less than one week, and getting healthy again after being sick for way too long! Down with winter and cold weather… up with spring and sunshine!

Everything Else

I have an Instax camera, and I absolutely love it. Yet, I’m still a bit nervous to actually use it. It’s like I’m afraid of wasting the film. Silly, I know. Anyway, Xandra has advice on how to polaroid like Taylor Swift, and I’m all over it.
Speaking of Polaroids, some were recently found showing that there were secret underground tunnels connecting the Playboy Mansion to famous celebrity houses. SO cool.
