Hey Friends!!
So I'm working on starting up a new bi-weekly/monthly series for southcoast247.com called "12 Hour Talent."
The premise is this...
1. "12 Hour Talent"
The premise is that I give myself 12 hours out of 24 (not necessarily consecutive) to learn a skill and report on how well I've done at the end of 12 hours (maybe it can be made 24, I'm not sure). Anyway, I think it's good because it can showcase random local talent, and provide for some ridiculous pictures of people trying to do things their bodies weren't necessarily made for. So some of the ideas I threw around were ice skating/hockey, beat-boxing, learning photoshop, playing an instrument, sewing, making jewelry, etc.
I've actually compiled a much more extensive list:
-play instrument (harmonica, violin, guitar, etc)
-sewing
-beat-boxing
-photoshop
-ice skating
-fitness/health
-shooting a gun
-creative writing
-sketch/improv comedy
-archery
-motorcycle
-tattooing
-competitive swimming
-sailing
-horseback riding
-skateboarding
-skiing/snowboarding
-recording studio
-cooking
-fishing
-bartending
-car maintenance
-paintball
-massage
-hair cutting
-make-up application (I'm the worst girl, seriously I can't do it right)
-tap dancing
-break dancing
-DDR/Halo/Guitar Hero
So, if YOU or anyone you know has one of these talents OR ANY OTHER TALENT NOT LISTED, give me a shout here or at alisondespres@gmail.com. I'm looking for a coach for each talent/skill to spend the day with me and teach me whatever they know about their skill so I can report back in an article about how much I could learn in 12 hours or less. (This will be starting up around the end of February).
Love,
Alison
