Face...Broke. New Place to Live?

The Best way to let someone know you have recently stopped being friends is defiantly through Facebook, where people delete, add and fantasize about the friendships online.  Be a bigger person and talk things out... Seriously. Not saying that whole "grow up" conversation because, frankly, that stuff is childish.

Aside from the death to friendships through facebook, the rain has yet to break me :)  I am looking for new places to live and man oh man I think I have found the greatest place.

BIG WINDOWS, BIG LIVING SPACE, Rooftop pool area, Library, Gym, Parking included, pets (if I ever get my PUG!!)  and of course my closest friends actually live right there! Phew!

I know sometimes I am blunt, I'm not sorry for it.  Somethings just need to be said.  This life is way too short to just take what you're given... I'm not gonna sit around and listen to bullshit if I don't have to :) Same goes for everyone else, right?

Thanks LA!

A Couple of Reviews

Alrighty I love TV shows, ironically enough I do not have cable.  So I watch the ever so FREEEEEE Hulu.

I have made a valiant effort to keep up with shows such as Modern Family, Dollhouse, Community, Parks and Recreations, Bones and the Office.

First off the Season Finale of Dollhouse.... WHATTT!  Hell yes.  So its been mid blowing to see how well Joss Whedon has left a mark once again in the TV Drama genre!  I love love love it!

I also laughed very hard at Community this week!  The Joel has done it again!  Just thought I'd say how much I loved this week in TV!
Can't wait to be apart of it! ;)

See you next time!

Its been awhile!!! Welcome back!

Ok this is going to be so much fun!  I have had one crazy week and all its doing is still rolling!
Late last week my fabulous best friend in the whole wide world came out to Cali for a visit and as she got off the plane we headed straight to a fashion show I was proudly apart of! The line was called EH! by Fartbox productions and hair done by GQ Cuts!  Man what a night!  Here are some photos of just how awesome it was!



Oh yeah!  Check it out!  So I have actually fallin madly in love with this hair and decided to keep it!  I have been working on head shots but my image has changed like 4 times this week!  haha my photographers love me!  Casting directors, eh they'll learn to love me!

So me Jenny and Brittany spent the day at Universal on the rainiest day ever!  I was trying so hard to keep my umbrella from flipping up!  Failed miserably!


My facebook actually shows everything, too much to keep up with! NOT!!!  I love my life!

So Brittany actually has been venturing along with me on my adventures in acting and she always says how un-supportive she really is, but look what she got me!


My very own "Go Confidently" journal/note taking book and a cupcake pen!!!  How amazing is my friend!?  oh and she decorated the book herself!  Its all black and has a picture of me in the rain and it has the beginning lines of my famed quote that I actually have tattooed on my shoulder<33333
"go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you've imagined!"
-Henry David Thoreau
Thanks B!

I filmed a really great video of me dancing for my video reel and the footage is amazing looking thanks in large part to my Dear Friend Sophie!!  Its under private until I can take it down lol.

Booty dancing is not for the faint of heart!

I need new speakers and a new computer, help me out?

"Ouce" Skating Ilissa Style


So the last couple of days were very interesting.  I had a club night that was annoying, a fashion show that was PHENOMENAL, and my best friend of all time since the 4th grade has come to California to play!  Man oh man there was a ton of people that were at our show!  I can't wait to put up photos, my hair was so intense!  This is just a preview of my next blog with all my amazing photos with my amazing friends!

I don't need to Fight

Currently eating as many M&M's as possible right now because I took all my vitamins at night, for no reason, I am hyper and quite productive!  Last night was quite the night.  I don't know how good of friends I really have until they spend the night and all end up cuddled on a bed with 4 different people sprawled out.  It was quite comforting.   I tried watching Garden State, but my DVD player decided it wasn't too good because the second Natalie Portman come on screen it would shut down.  Damn you Natalie!  jk, you are amazing, I bow down.




So when I went to the garment district I found the perfect fabric for Go Go costumes, yet I spent almost $90 trying to find things I actually needed.  I can't wait until this piece is done.
<-----


Man do I love Pirates!




So Jenny, my best friend from the 4th grade is coming to visit me on Friday just in time for my fashion show!  Again if you want to go, its at VANGUARD on HOLLYWOOD, be there before 10pm!  Guys, I'm sorry, but its $10 for you no matter what even if you are on my guest list. :( sorry!  I'll buy you a beer if you come!

Anywhoo I get to show her all around LA!  We will start with the future house I want to live in with her and then the beach and then Disneyland!!!

I am doing really great with not biting my nails, even though I do have anxiety, I ham keeping it under control!

I did a Brazilian dance workout thing today and I don't think it did much, but I hope I feel great in the morning lol.  I tried uploading photos from my christmas break, but my camera is being a bitch and not doing so!  Also I need help with my computer, so if you have any advice on how to make my computer better, let me know!

mmmm Chicken

Oh Not So Epic Proportions

Where to start, where to start.
I am currently preparing for a small fashion show on the 15th of January, at Vanguard.  Its going to be an epic night, and also my second fashion show since I have moved to Los Angeles!

Friends and your friends all need to be there to support me! You must get there before 10pm though or you will be forced to pay $15-$20 entry fee!!!!  So get there early people!

I dyed my hair and I love it!

I went to the fashion district today and bought some tights that are sheer green and sheer peach!  Oh and of course every girl should own fishnets, no matter what!  I am also in the market for new hair extensions and none have popped out at me yet!

I want to visit marie nails soon, I hear they do that japanese nail design that everyone keeps being so secretive about!




So I also finally got to go to WOnderland in Hollywood with Nikki, of course! and we met up with some really great, sexy eyed kind of people. Also two of the kids from Glee were there and they looked like they were having a blast.  I didn't want to seem as crazy as everyone else, so I stayed away.  For the record, non-crazy people hardly get noticed, so its time to be my crazy self and DANCE! hahaha (not to be contradictory or anything ;)

LA ROUX IS GOING TO BE AT COCHELLA!!!

Modern Family

Ok aside from the great show, I just love how my family is turning out to be just as Functional as this show!

My sister is on the fast track at school to graduate early so she can become a music producer!  She is obsessed with Paramore and her one dream is to record with them!  She already does a bag up job in her production class at school and can only go up from here!
I know she will be missing out on a bunch of things her senior year, but if she works hard those memories won't matter!

So in this I am helping her find the perfect school, and an internship so she can start gaining experience at 16!  She is going to be the go to person of the music industry so look out world!

This is me and her and my mom who is awfully surprised at both of our life career choices, but in the end she will be surprised at how amazing we are!

Italy and Wonderment

I was supposed to go to a photo shoot on a parade float last night but the photog cancelled, but my night was still fun! This is what I looked like for the shoot and went out in my outfit later.


Well I know I should have done this yesterday, but I was out having a good ol' drinking time with my pal, Lennon, who is a personal Trainer and is doing a free workout boot camp this week!  you should come and enjoy a really fun workout! here is the link!WORK OUT BOOT CAMP

So on to why I blogged today, I had an Italian man and his son in my store today and he was looking for something specific.  Not a word of English, as he tried to explain to me that he was looking for a speedo as he pulled down his pants to reveal he had on man panties.  It was craziness!!!  So then he tried to explain to me that he was a swim suit model for Dolce and Gabana!!!  That was the news for yesterday, also Brit Brit's flight was so delayed that I couldn't get her until this morning!  We went to the beach!

So at beach day we had fun at muscle beach and I actually did some cool things on the beams and the rings, it was thrilling!!
These are my best friends, Sophie, Brittany and Jessi.








Brit Brit also got me these amazing sequined shirts and gold shoes that I am already in love with!  They are from the 80s!  Pictures will be up soon!




Well I'm of to get ready for my work's belated christmas party!  maybe I'll get all sequined out!




The time is now!  Live this moment, it'll never be here again!

The Art


Good Morrow! Drinking Jasmine Tea for my throat today!!!

Today is quite exquisite, and I am happy that this new year has started of on the "right" foot. I recently became a new person and I feel many good changes, but of course more to come!

I have finally decided that I want to follow modeling and acting for now. As much as I love doing many other things, those are the main subjects that I will be focusing on.

The New Year was quite the experience, getting rid of old and ringing in the new. I have found out so many things about me that I was afraid to admit, but now that I have admitted my faults it is time to fix them and be better! Like on that was outstanding and mostly annoying was the fact that I was my own worst enemy... Me and myself were not good friends, she would stop me from doing castings, or going out you know all those exciting experiences that number one me really wanted to do, but number two me was too stubborn. From now on I am letting both of my-selves to enjoy any and every experience!

So yesterday my Horoscope for the Famed Pisces I am said; "There is an angel on your shoulder now, Pisces. You can make no wrong choices in the paths you take or the people you get to know. This is a very special time for you, where destiny meets you halfway and helps you to get closer to your most cherished dreams. The Hurdle for you will be recognized that where you are is the place that is best for you, and proceed accordingly. In the past you've occasionally been you own worst enemy. That has to stop now. You will soon be offered the keys to your future happiness. Make sure you use them."

I know that may have been a lot, but it took the last couple of horoscopes to finally feel like I was in my own skin. I dressed how I remember I wanted to and didn't give a damn and I could feel it when I got to work that people could notice I was happier. Which is huge since I am a goof anyway. I dance to the music and make fun of myself and tell jokes all the time. So it was only right that I dress my personality.

So new plans are, of course, under wraps only because I am not that way anymore. Telling al my plans and not actually following through with them! NOT ANYMORE!!! I am not a flake. I am the best person you will ever come into contact with.

I am going to be a star, for me. This is the first of many new blogs that I will update. I am so all about the things that I feel, like, love, want, treasure, loathe, and see as an inspiration.

I sent out christmas cards to many of my friends and family that I never see! I hope you all got your cards, know that I hope you all are doing well!!!


Still working on my signature sign off, so in the mean time I am going to go with,

off and on but never down and out. xoxo

"Remember that whatever you say consistently becomes reality."

My story is mine. Its a think positive kinda new atmosphere thing. I love me, my body, my hair, my eyes, my love for things just because, and the way I do things.

My story is no where near being finished and I am excited to invite you into my life.

Please bring wine and happy thoughts <3
