I felt groggy but nonetheless excited for this particular Indie Date because it seems like forever since last being on a TV set.  Fun!

But all that excitement diminished as the day proceeded and I began to feel more like an unpaid extra rather than someone there to be entertained.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/rss-comments-entry-14964124.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man</title><category>Enlightened Mind</category><category>Steve Harvey</category><category>book</category><category>commitment</category><category>dating</category><category>intimacy</category><category>love</category><category>relationships</category><dc:creator>Indie Girl Keex</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:29:48 +0000</pubDate><link>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/2012/2/7/act-like-a-lady-think-like-a-man.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">815920:9636095:14926223</guid><description><![CDATA[Let's face it.  Dating is complicated.  At least for me it is.  After all, I haven't dated since the turn of the century.  And now that I'm "back on the market" I'm facing singlehood as a "cougar" in a world where Match.com and OkCupid have replaced the more traditional approaches of making a love connection.

Add to that, my emotional baggage from unsuccessful past relationships, including a failed marriage and the stigma of divorce.  HELP!  So I turned to the wisdom of stand-up comic, Steve Harvey, in his book "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man".]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/rss-comments-entry-14926223.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>My Brazilian Bald Vajayjay</title><category>Brazilian bikini</category><category>Flatiron District</category><category>Limelight Shops</category><category>Nurtured Body</category><category>wax</category><dc:creator>Indie Girl Keex</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:03:35 +0000</pubDate><link>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/2012/1/19/my-brazilian-bald-vajayjay.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">815920:9636095:14653206</guid><description><![CDATA["Are you shy?" was the first question she asked me.  I had already stripped down to my g-string!  "Uh... no?" I replied.  "Then take off your panties."  I obliged.  I had no idea this required full nudity.  So, there I was, butt naked under bright lights in a small room with white walls and a mirror.  Hmph, so much for confidence.   I was on my back with knees pointing east and west on the spa table.  My Brazilian bikini wax expert used rubber glove protection as she stroked, stretched and pulled my vajayjay in ways that felt, perhaps, more invasive than my gynocoloist.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/rss-comments-entry-14653206.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Entangled in a "World of Wires"</title><category>Chelsea</category><category>Cultural Cravings</category><category>Jay Scheib</category><category>Non-Traditional Theater</category><category>The Kitchen</category><dc:creator>Indie Girl Keex</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 14 Jan 2012 21:01:43 +0000</pubDate><link>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/2012/1/14/entangled-in-a-world-of-wires.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">815920:9636095:14582688</guid><description><![CDATA[I traveled to the far flung edges of NYC's west side, traversing avenue blocks in the cold only to have my very existence questioned at The Kitchen. 

"World of Wires" created a multi-media, "big brother is watching"-ish theater experience that confronted me with questions like: Am I truly human? Or am I a mere test subject in a scientific computer simulation of earth-scale proportions? Is my life simply an experiment conducted by some post-human civilization studying our less evolved human behavior and emotion? And can I blame a computer glitch for this insane compulsion of mine to divulge my life experiences and dirty little secrets on the worldwide web in the form of a diary; thereby relieving savvy post-human scientists the arduous task of recording their findings about flawed behavioral patterns and their consequences?]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/rss-comments-entry-14582688.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>PINA and the Power of Dance</title><category>3D</category><category>BAM Rose Cinemas</category><category>Brooklyn</category><category>Cultural Cravings</category><category>Fort Greene</category><category>Pina Bausch</category><category>dance</category><category>independent films</category><dc:creator>Indie Girl Keex</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:48:24 +0000</pubDate><link>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/2011/12/26/pina-and-the-power-of-dance.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">815920:9636095:14337114</guid><description><![CDATA[This was definitely worth the $15 ticket price and the schlep to BAM Rose Cinemas in Fort Green, Brooklyn. It's elegant architecture, spotless theater and delicious popcorn offered a comfy and spohisticated IndieDate night for an indie film buff like myself. 

PINA, a feature-length dance film in 3D with the ensemble of the Tanztheater Wuppertal, created such a vivid experience of texture, color, emotion, feeling, facial expression, simple gesture and explosive movement. It was as if I were onstage with the dancers, feeling everything they were feeling.  I experienced the intensity of their longing, sadness, anger, pain, joy and whimsy as much as the environmental props (water, dirt, grass) that were intricately weaved into their storytelling.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/rss-comments-entry-14337114.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Taste the Rainbow</title><category>Ambika Wauters</category><category>Spiritual High</category><category>chakras</category><category>emotional healing</category><category>follow your bliss</category><category>life changes</category><dc:creator>Indie Girl Keex</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 17 Dec 2011 01:22:06 +0000</pubDate><link>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/2011/12/16/taste-the-rainbow.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">815920:9636095:14148501</guid><description><![CDATA[Reading Ambika Wauters' "Life Changes With the Energy of the Chakras" was like a prolonged look into an unforgiving three-way mirror.  I was forced to see all the stuff I didn't love about myself; stuff that weighted me with either embarrassment, shame or frustration.  It reflected how I truly feel about myself and its direct effect on how I navigate through life, career and relationships.  It also forced me to recognize how it's my own choices and reactions to life changes that have shaped who and where I am today.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/rss-comments-entry-14148501.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>The Zen of Queefing</title><category>Antigravity Yoga</category><category>Hell's Kitchen</category><category>Midtown West</category><category>Nurtured Body</category><category>Restorative Yoga</category><category>yoga</category><dc:creator>Indie Girl Keex</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 28 Nov 2011 21:43:02 +0000</pubDate><link>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/2011/11/28/the-zen-of-queefing.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">815920:9636095:13895245</guid><description><![CDATA[It was like reverting back to the womb.  Every movement was supported by breath and the cocoon-like embrace of the aerial hammock which allowed for total surrender.  It felt safe to relax; one on life's pleasures that I tend to neglect.  It compassionately reminded me of my struggle to be fully present in the moment, breathe deeply and give my mind a break from solving the world's problems.  My muscles were coerced into relaxation, promising greater ease and freedom of movement.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/rss-comments-entry-13895245.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Finding Buddha at SGI</title><category>Buddha</category><category>Daisaku Ikeda</category><category>Nichiren Buddhism</category><category>SGI</category><category>Soka Gokkai International</category><category>Spiritual High</category><category>Union Square</category><category>chanting</category><category>enlightenment</category><category>religion</category><dc:creator>Indie Girl Keex</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 19 Nov 2011 18:39:22 +0000</pubDate><link>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/2011/11/19/finding-buddha-at-sgi.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">815920:9636095:13789766</guid><description><![CDATA[I've been craving some type of spiritual grounding, healing ritual and "tribe" to connect with.  And as much as I want to fall in love with Soka Gakkai International, a Buddhist sect based on the teachings of Nichiren Daishonin, I find myself in the same relationship dilemma as always.  Should I heed the red flag warnings, follow my gut and break things off before I'm seduced by SGI's "potential" to satisfy my spiritual needs? Or should I be more open, less judgmental and give SGI the benefit of the doubt despite its imperfections?]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/rss-comments-entry-13789766.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Emotional Rehab at Re:AB Pilates</title><category>Brooke Siler</category><category>Classical Pilates</category><category>Gratz Pilates equipment</category><category>NoHo</category><category>Nurtured Body</category><category>Pilates</category><category>Re:AB</category><dc:creator>Indie Girl Keex</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 15 Nov 2011 23:31:06 +0000</pubDate><link>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/2011/11/15/emotional-rehab-at-reab-pilates.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">815920:9636095:13739586</guid><description><![CDATA[It happened while lying supine on the Trapeze Table at Re:AB Pilates, a NoHo studio owned by Brooke Siler; the woman behind the brand that boasts a list of celebrity clients, its own Authentic Pilates Certification plus books and videos for Pilates geeks and aficionados. 

It was my first private Pilates session in years and I was excited about a little one-on-one attention.  But what I wasn't prepared for was the life-altering experience that would occur during my 55min session.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/rss-comments-entry-13739586.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Experience the Pilates Pleasure Principle</title><category>Chelsea</category><category>Classical Pilates</category><category>Nurtured Body</category><category>Pilates</category><category>Power Pilates</category><dc:creator>Indie Girl Keex</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 06 Nov 2011 18:45:26 +0000</pubDate><link>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/2011/11/6/experience-the-pilates-pleasure-principle.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">815920:9636095:13616147</guid><description><![CDATA[Variety is the spice of life.  That's why I'm not a "strictly in the bedroom" type of gal.  And I'm no prude when it comes to my Pilates classes either. I like to mix it up a bit and get my "scoop" on in new and different spots around the city. So, I slipped on the same matchy-matchy Lululemon attire I had retired since my teaching days and headed to Power Pilates on W23rd St for a Tower Class with Alana.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://indiegirlloveadventures.com/keex-does-nyc/rss-comments-entry-13616147.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
