The art of the Meow

TV is magic

How amazing is this? I was blown away and I work in the business!

My friend Callard Harris will be coming into your homes this evening and every Tuesday evening at 10/9c as he makes you laugh and relive the Glory Daze. PS- Callard is a total babe.

Mad Men say what?

This made me giggle and then I said what in my mind about a thousand times.

Mad for Mad Men forever

I feel like a teenage girl in the fifties reading a teen heart throb magazine. These brilliant shots of behind the scenes of Mad Men from Rolling Stone's has my heart racing with dreamy excitement. Total fantasy brilliance.









PS- What I have learned from this shoot is that the actors are smoking Ecstacy Cigarettes - herbal smokes. I always figured/wondered. The Ingredients: Damiana, Wild Lettuce, Catnip, Passion Flower, Skull Cap, Mint
Natural Flavors, Love & Light

Blurred Reality

This morning I was racing to get to work on time. I had a late night the night before and it was really taking it's toll on me by dragging me out of bed and into my car with out a shower or my face on. To make matters worse I was out of gas and could not remember when the gas light came on so I could not chance ending up on the side of the freeway.
I made a quick shameful stop at BP owned Arco to fill up. I was zoning out as my car was getting heavier with gas until a cop car pulled into the station. Suddenly I was a bit on edge. Trying hard to look normal and just "going along with my business". The Cop in the passenger seat was looking at me steadily as they parked. "Great", I thought, "He is gonna walk into the store and right by me. Just stay calm", I told my self. A very large and handsome cop with a huge white smile strolled to the AMPM with his eyes locked on me. I pretended yawn and he asked "How are you, this mornin'?" "Tired", I said with a lame fake sleepy face. The cop went into the store seemingly let down by my unattractive answer. A wave of relief swept over me," I made it. He doesn't know anything."
As I got in my car I finally listened to voices in my head. What am I talking about? I didn't do anything so what am I talking about? Then it hit me. My weekend of watching Dexter and the second season of Friday Nights Lights has now blurred my reality and I am walking around thinking that I have innocently killed someone. Maybe it is time to turn the TV off.

Hope comes alive

I am addicted. I tried to stop by having the cable guy come and dismantle my cable but still I have found another more pure form of tv fix - this one comes as a marathon on netflix thru my Wii. BASTARDS!!!! I sit at work these days counting the hours down to the minutes and then sit in traffic cursing the wasted visual time until I am home curled up on my couch - priorities forgotten - as I click season 1 Friday Night Lights. I am 11 episodes in and have cried at least once at every episode. Potsch refuses to get wrapped up in the show with me. There are times I am sad we don't get to snuggle as we watch the relationship of Jason Street and Lyla Garitty unfold. But then again I am thrilled that I can watch episode after episode in one sitting and not have to worry about Potsch needing to catch up. I thought this addiction would settle after watching season 1 of Dexter but instead it has just gained strength.
Tonight Potsch has a class until 11pm. That means at least 3 episodes back to back. I can't wait to fall more in love with Tim Riggins, Matt Saracen, The Coach and his Wife.

This will make me a doll collector

"Gracefully molded of Silkstone®, a material that resembles the look and weight of porcelain, each doll is stylized in iconic costumes from the series, and comes with accessories true to their show counterparts. Don Draper wears his classic, polished red-lined suit and comes accessorized with a hat, overcoat and brief case; Betty Draper's classic look is captured with unparalleled detail, from her faux pearl necklace to her pumps; Joan Holloway looks chic in a purple skirt suit and perfectly styled coif with her staple accessory - a pen necklace; and Roger Sterling is looking dapper in his monogrammed shirt.

Fans can get exclusive collectible sketch drawings of the Mad Men Barbie Collector dolls when the Season Three DVD hits stores on Tue., Mar. 23 as each DVD set will include one of the four character sketches. The Mad Men: Season Three DVD contains all 13 episodes of the season and is also loaded with hours of special features including extensive commentaries and innovative featurettes that examine the historical events that shaped 1963.

The Barbie® Fashion Model Collection Mad Men Barbie® dolls will be available for a suggested retail price of $74.95. Available at BarbieCollector.com, amctv.com and select retailers."

On a side note - I am currently working on a pilot for TBS in the LA Center Studios in Downtown Los Angeles. This is where MadMen is filmed and produced. It take everything in me to not hunt the production down and just attach myself to them permanently. Sometimes when my job gets rough I just image "What Would Joan Do?" Then I stand up straight. Reapply my red lipstick and walk through the office with a swagger in my hips.

Thanks Teenz for the heads up!

Learning how to sell a product and yourself

I am starting a three class commercial workshop with the famous Jill Alexander. You might not know the name but I bet you know the face. Jill has been in over 50 national commercial in the past 9 years and that is not including all the other TV and Print appearances she has had. I am super excited to learn from the best. So excited that I have started doing research just so I have some of the basics down when I get to class. I have been out of the commercial world for a bit so a refresher is needed. Thank god for youtube!

Bitchin' Lifestyle

Have you ever wonder what would happen if Kat Von D of LA Ink made a baby with Alton Brown of Good Eats? Maybe you haven't but I bet you are now. Well, think no longer I have the answer and it is Nadia G and her Bitchin' Lifestyle. Loaded up with videos about kitchen stuff, craft stuff, house stuff and more. She is adorable and funny and not your typical pastel HGTV Host but rather a punk rock pin-up equipped with a hammer and glue gun.

I want to live in an Absolut world.

How brilliant is this. By the end I did not care what the product was I just wanted it.


Kinda makes sense that it is alcohol.

Grey Gardens

I love the documentary Grey Gardens. just brilliant. I was Little Edie for Halloween last year and I was surprised at how comfortable that was...ok maybe I was not that surprised. But when i heard that Drew Barrymore would be playing the party of Lil' Edie I was bothered. I adore Drew. She is super cute and I enjoy her public persona but as an actress I have not seen much to write home about in a good way. But I have to say that after watching the HBO trailer for Grey Gardens I am hopeful. I mean she is playing opposite to Jessica Lang so how bad can you get.
I thought I would let you judge for yourself and maybe let me know what you think.


Just incase, he is the real Little Edie-

Damn you expensive Cable!

I am madly in love with The United States of Tara and I am pissed that I can not watch it and keep up with the episodes. There was this nice fellow who was posting the episodes on youtube but now they have been removed! Bastards!I know people got to get paid and I want those people paid. I know these people and they definitely deserved to get paid but why make some thing sooooo good and not share it with everyone? I am sorry for venting. It's just I don't get to watch a lot of tv and when I find a show that I like, even love, I want to get to see it.
I will save a warm space in my heart for you Tara.
Until I see you again - probably at a friends house on their Tivo after they have already watched you. Damn sloppy seconds spoiler.

Day Jobber and Exposed Brick

**post has been edited from original**

Drew Talbert and, his actress girlfriend, Erika Stone are idea makers and doers - I find those things together are hard to come by.
Drew and Erika have been producing, directing, starring and writing their own web series Exposed Brick, since January of this year. They just posted episode 8 and they just keep getting better.
This is episode 6 cause Potsch and I got to be guest stars and cause the episode is called "Nice Boots".
Check it out!

Mumford & Sons

I just wanted to show another example of the random location music show.
Balcony TV
This band is Mumford & Son. I love them and can not find them to buy anywhere. It makes me sad.
enjoy their beautiful melodies.

Start your engines!

I don't get to watch much TV lately, which is kind of a good thing cause it means that I am busy. Really the only two shows I have to see are United States of Tara and Lie To Me - both of which I watch online. (fingers crossed that everyone who should be getting paid is getting paid) Well, the other night I made myself some dinner and decided to watch some TV before getting back to work. As I flipped the channels I happened upon the channel LOGO. My mouth agape I watched as two drag queens had a dance/ lip sync off to Britney's Stronger. These ladies were dancing for their lives! I am not kidding. When their dance finished there were tiny hats and wigs and hair pieces everywhere, luckily eyelashes were still intact. RuPaul was overwhelmed with the decision she had to make cause one of these ladies HAD to go home. Yes, it was a reality show and that is how they all work. Anyway once RuPaul came back and delivered her news, she gave what every reality show has to have now - thanks to Donald Trump, the dismissal line "It is time for you to SASHE AWAY". In my book, hands down, the most gut busting laugh I have had in awhile. Thanks RuPaul!
You are more than welcome to catch up on all the episodes you missed right here. "You better Work!"
