  • Speranza Theatre Support and Blog Promo Opportunity!

    Happy Friday! I have a very special theatre company to tell you about, one that I have worked with for the past year and a half and cannot recommend enough. Speranza Theatre Company in Jersey City is a rapidly growing professional theatre group that promotes the works of female playwrights, plays supporting women’s issues, and…

  • Blogher Publication and a Post about Tigers!

    The artists that I know, including myself, get up every day and attend or submit to auditions even though we’re often terrified about never hearing back. We call ourselves actors even though some days we’re afraid that’s not true. We go to our full-time or several part-time jobs even though were scared it’s taking us…

  • Social Media for the People, Not the Peeple

    Let’s use the tools provided by our current, functional social media platforms to lift everyone up. We are not numbers, we are not ratings, we are not Yelp reviews. We are human beings trying desperately to connect to one another and feel that we have a place in our day-to-day lives. We are trying, and…

  • I Love New York, But I May Never Be A Good New Yorker

    After years of trying to block this out, I have accepted that the life of a true New Yorker may never be for me. We moved after several years, though we both go in nearly every day for work or class. It’s a smaller part of my life now, and I have become a significantly…

  • Brunch on the Floor of Penn Station

    My time has become so precious to me–since I’m now pursuing my acting career over top of a full-time job– that it is often spent running around to class or running around at home. The luxury has become less about money and more about the ever-elusive time. So here’s the deal. I’ve found a way…

  • A Day of Rest and a Pot of Soup

    I think it’s important to find your specific way of resting. If all our other daily activities are unique to our personalities, then our methods of rejuvenation can be as well. The important thing is to strike the balance between rest and nourishment.

  • Updated Website! Woohoo!

    Hello all and happy first day of football season!  I am post-less today but I have some cool announcements on the horizon.  In the meantime… I updated my website!  Please check out GinnyBartolone.com and let me know if you have any layout/content suggestions.  Really, anything.  Since this is combined with my acting website, I have been trying…

  • The Day My Large Eyebrows Came Back Into Style

    My eyebrow relationship has been a bumpy uphill battle. It began around sixth grade when I was alerted that “No, my eye brows were not actually supposed to meet in the middle. ” It was the dreaded year I also learned about dressing “in fashion,” understanding makeup (and since it was the 90’s — this…

  • 5 Simple “Fall Cleaning” Ideas for Your Mind

    With any transition, especially one that lines up with the days getting shorter and chillier, it’s important to feel as if I am starting fresh. So here are a few easy and free ways I have been jumping into September and saying goodbye to the summer without sadness:
