Up at 6:30 am…wowza! Is this early rising becoming a habit of mine all of a sudden?

This morning I had my private acting lesson in Santa Monica and after my teacher helped me film an audition I have for a feature film. It’s a pretty big project and I really like the script so I was kind of nervous driving there. And of course LA morning traffic doesn’t help the spirit. What’s up with that anyways? Grid lock that early in the a.m. going west on the I10 should just not be legal.

Well, the lesson with Anthony – my teacher – was amazing and hard work as usual. Searching for truth and only expressing truth every moment seems simple, but it isn’t. Try it for yourself.

Then I hit home for a bite and 10 pages from a script that I have to finish tomorrow buy noon. Then on the road again, en route to Downtown where I was walking in a fashion show for a Japanese designer. An experience to put it mildly.  I’ve never been to Tokyo, only Osaka, but I’m getting the idea from tonight’s show…haha… damn that’s intense!

Let me break it down: Goth meets Cyber-space pixie, meets sexy dominatrix diva, meets Twilight teens under a blue moon…

I had aprox 6 feet of metallic wire in my hair to make it stand in a Pippi Longstocking-ish way. 2 bottles of hairspray and so much white powder in my face and glue in my eyebrows that they will never look the same again… But it was fun!!!

I’m  wearing: Zara cardigan, Object top with studs, Dolce&Gabbana hotpants, Steve Madden sandals

What Happens in the Powder Room

… Stays in The Powder Room

The City of Angels have tons of entertainment to offer. And a big part of it is worn down rock clubs with rugged rockers jamming on worn out musical instruments. And how can you not fall head over heels for that not to mention for them? The rockers….. The tour bus, the fun 24-7, the crazy parties in the Palisades, and ‘be in the now or piss-off attitude’. Ha ha…:-)

It’s the bad boys your mother warned you about and your dad tried to become when he was 21-ish, but his musical talents didn’t quite make the cut. Anyways, What happens on stage is fun, but what happens in the powder room is even more interesting…

After Jay-Z’s concert in The Staples Center in Downtown LA tonight a huge party was set up at a venue called the Conga Room. However, tonight there were no conga drums, but gazillions of Jay-Z people and fans and… us. Us being the up-and-coming fashion designer Lilia and her possé of assistants, photographers, models, hair and makeup. The designer is so fresh that she has not made her website yet, so I cannot give you the link.

Her brand is called Fuchsia – just like the color. I will provide the info as soon as she is up and running, because this chick creates really beautiful dresses that are both fantastic comfy to wear, make you look like a million Euros (sorry Americans ;-)..!), has perfect finish and are not over prized. A truly rare combination.

Tonight I was opening the fashion show and sporting 2 different dresses. One hot pink and one peach. Both in pure silk.

Here are some snap shots from the night…

Model Shelly..

IMG_0003

Model from Vienna. We had a lot of catching up to do since I spent 2 months in Vienna modeling back in the days. A beautiful city, but very ‘old’ and too ‘nice’ on the surface for my taste.

But I remember that there was a really fucked up and crazy underground scene of artists, photographers and us… I remember one day at a go-see with my best friend in Vienna at that time, a model from Brazil, when she took a pregnancy test in this photographer’s bathroom while the photographer was shooting polaroids of me. Suddenly she came screaming out of the bathroom because she had found out that she was pregnant. DRAMA!!!!!
