Sunday: Welcome to Hollyhood!!!




I got this idea a few months ago that I would pick up and move away from my home of New York City to the greener pasteurs of Hollywood. I moved here to Cali with 6 boxes and 2 suitcases and a carry on bag. I got rid of my furniture and anything I didn't deem important enough to ever look at again. So I shipped my boxes out and took the luggage on the flight with me to the O.C. where I stayed with D and D for over a month.
Hoywood reminds me of Hell's Kitchen 10 years ago before they gentrified it....it's kinda there and kinda not. It can be sketchy and feel like home at the same time. People here say it takes up to a full year to get used to LA and I thought I would have a hard time getting used to LA, meeting people, and figuring out how to get around. But I'm already used to it. Granted Nothing beats New York.....nothing but being a New Yorker and coming from such a vast place you need to explore other places once in a while. I think my being from another city and always being so independant and on my own I just adapt fairly quicker than others. My only problem so far here is what i came here for which is a job. I thought it would take a bit but now it's just annoying and I can't really feel like I live here till I get a consistent gig. So unlike New York where I did try to go on interviews and work for other companies besides MTV and just ended up working for MTV or VH1 on a show here I don't have that luxary. For the first time I truly have to bust my ass.

I have been networking my ass off. I have gone to networking parties, emailed everyone I know and who they know, worked two concerts, auditioned a nd for a casting call for a dating show just to get my resume in to the producers, and even this past week with barely a voice and a high fever I still went out to meet people to get the word out that I need a job.

So on Wednesday while having dinner with Jeff and A Bananas they talked me into writing a blog. They said I know too much about Britney and lindsay to not blog about it and also the crazy hijinks I seem to alays get into. Everything in my life becomes a story. I don't embellish. It is what it is. Countless other people like coworkers and my cousin have told me to write a blog and I shrugged it off. Cuz in New York a lot of stories had to do with MTV and Vh1 and I've heard of other people getting in hot water form stuff they wrote. But out here I just walk out my door and the stories happen. Case in point: A bananas has been sending me links for movie extras and modeling work. So I applied. a few were legit sending me their websites to check out. So, I get a repy for an interview for Friday....wait backtrack the story isn't complete without telling you about Tuesday. This past weekend into Tuesday I only had hot water and mu toilet wasn't flushing. Yep you HEARD right NO COLD WATER. And it being a holiday weekend well you see my dilemna. So I took a bath in semi hot water and washed my hair. at the sa,e time my roommate was trying to move my car cuz we have tamdem parking....Well braniac me didn't auto lock the car when i grabbed a cd from the car earlier in the day and killed my battery.
So my roommate calls triple A who jump my car but now i have to drive it around at 11 at night for 20 minutes....well the next morning i felt like ass. I also had ot drive a marijuana medical doctor to the courts in Ventura cuz one of his paitents effed up and missused his prescrpiton and the doc was suppoenaed into court and he has no car so i drove him. So i got sicker amd sicker.
So I could n't even talk during dinner with Jeff and Anna. I think the waiter thought i was mute. But dammit I still Looked good.
Fast forward to interview on Friday and I go int ot meet this entertainment lawyer who casts models for trade shows and other things. For the first 1 minutes of the interview we went back and forth s to why i would never think to sleep with a male roommate. He kept asking: but how do you know feelings won't delvelop. Me: cuz I'm not like that and they won't. can;t believe for sitchs liek that i can keep my cool but when people here say: what do you want to do in an interview...that that throws me off. more on that one tommorrow. Anyhoo. So after this guy I gets off of the the idea of roommates sleeping together he gets on why i want t do trade shows....I honestly say i'm here to be a proucer and I want to try this out and who knows end up being a host on a red carpet. Cuz I'm fabulous. ne hot sexy bitch. So why not share it with the world. He loved my scratchy voice and kept saying I was fiesty. And just wanted me to keep talking... I wanted to run screaming....this whole meeting lasted like 4o minutes. So, I sat there silently screaming and wanting to scratch my eyes out.





LOOK WHO I GLIMPSED THIS WEEK:
Wednesday: Bobby ok ok Kyle Howard is his real name at the Grove. Funny I thought he was shorter but he's actually just a tad shorter than I.

Friday: Joan Collins signing autographs and taking pap pics in front of Social Hollywood.
