I’m taking a new step today in posting my first recipe! It was formed accidentally out of hunger and not much lighting in the pantry but turned out pretty neat. It’s a fun fruity and nutty mix that fits perfectly when placed in my favorite little Fox tin, so that’s why I named it what I did.

Welcome, 2023! To start the New Year on a happy note I decided it was time for a new T-Shirt post, or better yet a T-short one. (One day I would love to do a contest resulting in giving away a T-Shirt.) For now, let’s build together. If you have a story about your favorite T-Shirt, be thinking about it. I’d love to feature it on this blog.
It was a challenge to find a place to live in the city, so I just ended up Gypsy-ing around for a while. The corps was glad to have replacements, so I was obliged and excited to dance my first-monthly run of The Nutcracker. 32 or more nights of Snow, Flowers, and Bear, and I was a tiny 90 pounds. I loved it. So naturally, a dancer has to eat. Thus a recommended restaurant where I worked as a cashier for a while came to be.

Alison…
Alison McGlamry began her ballet training with Terrel Paulk, Stanley Zompakos, and Jennifer Bennett. While visiting Florida State University, she discovered the Southern Academy of Ballet Arts in Tallahassee, Florida, and fell in love at her first class. She danced with the local Pas de Vie Ballet Company from 1994 through 1997, where she studied with Gwynne Ashton and attended summer scholarship studies with Joffrey Ballet School in New York, Cleveland Ballet, and the Nashville Ballet.
Upon moving to Atlanta, Georgia, Alison pursued training with the Atlanta Ballet’s Center for Dance Education, performing character roles in the company’s productions of The Nutcracker, and Coppelia, and as a featured tap dancer in director John McFall’s “Juke”. She worked as an instructor and choreographer for the school, as well as the T.M. Culture and Arts Center / Atlanta Professional Dance Academy, founded by principal Atlanta Ballet dancer Wei Dongshei.
Encounters with a variety of guest artists and teachers soon led her down paths of Ballet,
Modern, Broadway, Latin, and Competitive Ballroom Dance styles where she has had the opportunities to study with Benjamin and Lauri-Michelle Houk, John McFall, Li-Chou Cheng, Patricia Kenny, Lupe Serrano, Dennis Nahat, Fernando Bujones, Eleanor D’Antuano, Francesca Corkle, Rachel Berman, Sarah Reese, Debra Bale, Carol Szkutek, David Parsons, Corky Ballas (Dancing with the Stars), Mariano Chicho Frumboli, Cecilia Gonzalez, Fabian Salas (The Tango Lesson), Rosendo Fumero, Kathryn Schaffer, Sarwat Kaluby, Bill Sparks, and many other well-known instructors.
Alison was also very fortunate to work as a corporate entertainer and model for Virginia King and Jon Schwartz of Bacchus Productions, where she was first introduced to the art of Oriental Dance. While working with Bacchus she served as a model and greeter for America’s Mart in Atlanta, and the AJS Atlanta Jewelry Shows, modeling such fine lines as JB Starr and more. It was at the Apparel Mart that she first worked as a sales representative for Earth Axxessories, working with its President in the sales of jute handbags, and feeding her love for fashion and merchandise.
Alison currently serves as a dance advisor, musician (guitar), and occasional face painter, and sells her line of jewelry and art as McGlamorous.
