This young woman from China is playing "Souvenirs D'enfance" by Richard Clayderman. Just look at her right hand go.
This is a video of the writers of Parenthood talking about the character Max Braverman on the series, who has Asperger syndrome (thanks to the wonderful Asha from Parent Hacks for the alert). As you may know, head writer/producer Jason Katims based Max on his life with his own son, who has Asperbergers. After the commercial, fast forward to minute 2:13.
The other week, I got to attend the Andrea Bocelli concert in Central Park, sponsored by Barilla and the grand finale of their Summer of Italy program. I was happy to bump into Nicole, one of the readers who won VIP tickets (hi, Nicole!). Here he is, singing Ave Maria. I know, beautiful. And, yeah, this is what a concert looks like to you when you're 5'2 and it's raining.
This vision of spaghetti chic was shot at a fantasy/science fiction convention, and shared by the amusing Karen from Walking The Borderline. I think I'm going to wait till Max is a bit older to show it to him. You know, like when he's 9. He's too young to start fantasizing about spaghetti-clad women.
