Sundance

There are times when Meryl Streep’s character in The Devil Wears Prada speaks my inner monologue. I’m often mystified at how people can allow a simple task to bleed into an all day ordeal.  I was tickled by the humor and intelligence of Meryl Streep’s speech at the Golden Globes. Jennifer Hudson’s soul screaming performance in Dreamgirls had me shell shocked and crying.  I can’t wait to see her win that Oscar.

As snow fell in Westwood and the plants in my garden turned black from frostbite, I realized there was possibly more suffering to be had in Salt Lake City. So off I flew to Sundance! Life events were strangely accelerated in Park City.  The minute our plane touched down in SLC I got a call from my agent that I booked the modeling job I’d been determined to get!  I squeezed in 2 good movies, not amazing, but good. With two partners in crime by my side, we created magic everywhere we went. Anything we spoke of materialized before our eyes.  If you’ve seen The Secret, you should be smiling right now.  It was manifestation at its best! We even sacrificed a little party hopping to help the police positive ID a criminal.I enjoyed 4 action packed days @ Sundance before flying back early to LA.

At the Lolly Lu boutique I received a sassy pill box that read, “Behind Every Successful woman is Herself.” This item, along with some gourmet brownies and a bad ass Monarchy ski hat were mysteriously stolen from me.  I imagine the thief to be a very successful woman with brownie cellulite and a sweaty head. And finally, what all downtrodden celebs have been waiting for: celebrity gifting made easy!  Luxestar has created a way for celebrities to view products and gift themselves online, in the comfort of their own home. No more unwanted gifts, no more lugging all of that swag to your crib. You order what you want online and the items are delivered to your home! It doesn’t get any sweeter than that.

When I landed in LA my agent breathed a sigh of relief and told me to go straight to bed. Of course, I went straight to the gym.  I hadn’t worked out in 4 days! The modeling job was definitely worth the change in itinerary (except for having to wake at 3 am.)  My lack of sleep @ Sundance, combined with the early call, finally caught up with me.  I slept for 13 hours that night!!! I didn’t even hear the phone ring.  A few days later, I got sick.  It seems that ever since Halloween, I’ve been going non stop. Now I’m in bed with a wastebasket full of Kleenex and a nasty cough. As I sneeze all over the scripts and sides of the 2 pilots  I’m going in for tomorrow, I have delusions of grandeur. So I’m a fountain of mucus, and thanks to some playful wrestling during our viewing of the SAG awards, I’m sporting a thumb mark on my chin.  It kinda looks like I have a cleft in my chin, like Superman. The sky is the limit for me, and by tomorrow, I will be a fully recovered series regular!

That’s all.
