2010

So other than this awful cold making my voice sounding like a man, my life has been really great lately. My first week back to LA has proved that things are only going to continue to get better and better..I haven't even gotten started yet. The talented Bill Iddings was kind enough to write an article recapping my crazy life and work this year. Check it out and feel free to tell your friends

Reality Check! Check Yourself!

I went to the dollar store a little while ago to buy hangers and realized how truly fortunate I am yet again. Although my balance is at an all time low I didn't have to make sure I had enough money to buy three items like the homeless man who had everything he owned on his back did before getting on line or the guy clearly living out of his car with his dog waiting in it in the parking lot. What saddened me even more was to see a heartless police officer write him a ticket this time of year when he clearly couldn't even afford a home, let alone a ticket especially the expensive one's LA issues. I seriously cried and reminded myself that although I'm nearly out of of money, I have a roof over my head, frozen food in my fridge and I'm on the come up, not the down. I immediately called my mom to tell her how much I love her and how I know during rough times it could always be worse. I'm upset that I don't have the money to go home for the holidays but I'm fortunate enough to know that though we may not be together and have money for fancy gifts, we all have a place to live, food on the table and our love for each other is eternal. Count your blessings and do something for someone less fortunate this time of year.

P.S. if anyone is wondering what I need for Christmas it's a steamer because I just unpacked my wrinkled life...yikes! :)

Extreme Productivity Mode

Extreme productivity mode has commenced! Yesterday I took an awesome introductory workshop at John Sudol Acting Studio where I will begin studying regularly. Today I booked CSI: Miami here in LA, how funny I use to work on it back home! I will also be submitting for a series regular role on an MTV Pilot as a "Mila Kunis type", boy would I love to fill her shoes :) I have a really good feeling about this coming year! Nothing is going to get in my way. Everything is falling into place just as it should. New images up on Model Mayhem if you care to check them out http://www.modelmayhem.com/735010. Life is good! A little home sick, wishing I could be home with mom for the holidays but one day soon these sacrifices will all pay off. Mom understands after all she is my biggest fan.

Funny...Ironic? People don't know what they have til it's gone..don't know what's right til it's wrong? Maybe that's me just a little. Yes, I am a damn firework...but I'm way more than that miss Perry! I should be loved and Over appreciated..I had an amazing night of self realization, of learning...I own the rights to this and no one else ever will because this is my life, my story, and if they only knew the half it'd be a legacy because there's so much to learn, so much left unsaid, so much people think they know about me and wish they knew the half. My journey is only beginning and I don't need anyone else..my mother and my fate and that's all I've ever needed. A few short stories unfolding, a few blogs I don't write for, tweet in, what have you...I'm back for the real deal. Im here to pursue: to act, write, produce and I will NEVER sell myself short. I will accomplish every single thing I have in mind, eventually! and it will be epic, because it will be all of me. Every project that I believe in evokes everything I have in this crazy mind of mind..and that's a totally different tale. I once read..not true, I once fudge a paper about "A Tale of Two Cities"..anyway..this is about the new journey, a tale of my city. This isn't about the New York journey, Miami Journey or about the back and forth journey...this is about my life from scratch the real deal here...starting all over from here...cutting a new, REAL, reel from scratch, whatever material it may be shows me to the best it can (any takers on shooting new material welcomed!) and going from there..no turning back, no giving up, seeking new representation and a life focused on my well being and no one else's, for once I'm going to be selfish! The most difficult feat of my life will be to be self absorbed and not care about anyone else's feelings or goals. I'm here to make this next year, 2011, my year, with no set backs and 20000000% not care about opinions :) and make it the most personally and most prosperously, my best year yet because I can, because I have more talent and looks than half these clowns on tv. Yes, I said it, a friend in the business, name in the game or a discovery is all it takes and unfortunately for them I'll earn it because I wouldn't have it any other way..it'll come very soon :)

accidental new business venture brings joy!!!

NOTHING's an accident :) WOW! My life always has a funny way of coming together! So I came to Cali to work on a small "top secret" assignment (on camera) and a different job that I passed up in the past became available to me, not because the position was open but because I am a better fit for the job. About a year ago, when I met an awesome stylist and asked if she ever needed an assistant she said yes but then I was in and out of town filming and doing my own thing and couldn't be here to assist her full time. Well, the night before Halloween we crossed paths again and it turns out she's unhappy with her assistant and would love to hire me! She said I'd start Monday and I DID! Yesterday, was my first day of pre-production on a commercial for this weekend and today I styled a reality show! She left me alone on set on my first day to do other tasks and I have to admit I was nervous. (I mean I've styled before but I may have implied that I had more experience than I do lol) but I do know fashion and I definitely know how a set works from acting, standing in, production assisting, yada yada...it's all the same. It turns out wardrobe lingo has some words I'm not so familiar, ones I didn't really deal with as an intern with but I'm a fast learner! Today was the craziest first day I've ever had on a job...watch the episode when it airs and you'll see why (Season 2 Ep 2 of "You're Cut Off") but I loved almost every minute of it. My boss is flexible and laid back so don't worry acting is still coming first but for now full-time income is an A! As for my travels in the near future...I'll have to get back to you on that. I have a flight home Tuesday but obviously a lot has changed. I'm renting a car (holy expensive!) and need to get my car here somehow and move back asap...apartment hunting commencing soon but for now good night world. 9am Call time :) Oh and I will be home for Thanksgiving and I'm still working on the Premier! Waiting to hear back from some folks...

Jersey what?!...loser
