My favorite sculptor, Auguste Rodin, was born on MY birthday. We are both Scorpios and we have so many simularities about ourselves that it is uncanny. He is from one of my most favorite places in the world, Paris, France. ***FYI: I took four years (not semesters) of French in High School and two years in college, because I wanted to move to Paris and go to Art School to study Art and Fashion Design there**** Rodin is famous for the Thinker, the Kiss, the Hand of God, the age of Bronze, the Burghers of Calais, the Gates of Hell, and many, many more sculptures. Go see them here:

I love Rodin and I love France (I can see your underpants)!!! HAHAHAHA! You can tell that I am in a great mood because tomorrow is a holiday (no school) and Friday (MY BIRTHDAY) I will be taking four super talented students to the All-State Festival of Art and Design in Gainesville, Ga.
*****I wonder what Charles Manson and I have in common? I probably have Tonya Hardings temper, Grace Kelly's sensuality and charm, Sammy Sosa's DRIVE, Neil Youngs's love of music, Nadia's love of movement, Elizabeth Cady Stanton's voice for women and Rodin's love of sculpture and art!!!!
