Welcome to Hollywood

I finally got my break into Hollywood, well sort of. This past Saturday I celebrated my friend Sarah's birthday. She invited me to join her at KOFY dance party taping. I didn't know what to expect but naturally I was in. We dressed up in one of our best 80s outfits which sadly came from our closets. Then we made our way over to the KOFY studios in San Fransisco.  There was a line with a bunch of crazy people. It looked like bay to breakers, I immediately got super excited.

After I signed my life away, as if anything bad could happen from dancing. Actually I take that back. I have a friend, I wont name any names but he actually got kicked out of a bar for "Dancing too hard" True story.

So we got in line and stretched. Here is Sarah whippin' her crimped hair back and forth.




Here are some overly friendly people we met in line.


Then they had us in a wait room.

We couldn't be anymore excited and yes that is a fanny pack.
I realized that I want fanny packs to make a comeback now more than ever.
So easy to dance with all of your belongings on you.

Then it was the moment we all waited for...


It was better than I've ever imaged!!!!!!
"Is this real life"

It was honestly so much fun. We danced to 80s music for 2 hours with only 2 breaks. Hollywood is so tough. I won't give away any details about the show but you all can see for yourself September 25th at 8pm on KOFY! You think I'm joking but I'm not. 


Later that night we got ready to take a limo back out to the city. 
So Hollywood.


Happy Wednesday!

Ps. The next taping of Dance party is September 10th. Whose in??

You can't dance as if no one is watching because people are watching.

So Last night I decided to come out of retirement and go back to dance. I haven't danced in over 7 years! I'm not going to lie, I was a little nervous. No one likes to be the old person who falls on their ass! I thought i would never dance again but every time I watch Jessica Alba in Honey I get the itch to dance. Then it dawned on me, if I ever wanted to partake in a dance battle and have a chance of winning I needed to go back to dance class.

So there I was in the building that I took my first class ever 22 years ago. Back then you didn't even have to learn a dance routine, you would just stand on the stage, smile and wave to your mom during the song Animal Crackers. The crowd loved it. When I walked into the dance room I suddenly realized all the young kids around me and it was nice that I immediately put things in perspective, the last time I danced on that dance floor NONE of these people were even born yet....including the teacher. Awesome! Hello Dinosaur.

To my surprise it actually went ok. I'm a little rusty but in a couple of months i feel like I will be back! Good news is today I woke up and I can walk. I guess that is a sign that I am ready to drop it like its hot just like Jessica Alba.

Hopefully I will keep up with the dance classes because I hope someday I will be as good as these gems.





Little Creepy but how cute are these ladies? Work it (golden) Girls!! Work that pole nana!


Happy Hump day!

The 3rd of July

Have you ever forgotten what day it was? Celebrated something one day early? I can honestly say I've done that! I decided to have a small BBQ pool party at my house with 3 of my friends and one dog. How crazy could it get? I guess after you shotgun a beer anything is possible. This is how the day started out.


Nice calm summer day on cuddle Island with J Biebe.

Then the creative juices started flowing and when I say juice I mean beer. Here are some classic Pool jump photos.


Bre and Crystal doing the Best Buddy Jump Photo.

I've posted many photos of my friend Crystal showing off some of her amazing jump photo talents but I'm sure we can all agree that this photo by far is the one that takes the cake. I present to you....


The Beer Flip!
Yes she is really drinking a beer.
(Kids do not try this at home...unless you're fun)

I had no idea that my street was having a 4th of July block party. Apparently they celebrated it on the wrong day also. We decided to walk down and join in on the fun. I guess my neighbors decided to rent the coolest water slide for all of the little kids. Obviously we asked if we can go on it, all of the dads said yes. All of the moms were not so thrilled.


That gave us the great idea to make a homemade water slide. So first we tried to use garbage bags.


But that was not dog proof.

Then we decided to use a blue tarp.


That worked but at the time I didn't realize Crystal was right behind me....


coming in hot!!!!!

Major water slide Fail.

I think next year we will pay the $200 for an actual blow up water slide. I blame my mother for all of this because she never bought me the crocodile mile that I've always wanted.

This might have been one of the best days of the summer. Who knew that these four girls could get into so much trouble?


They are such gems.

I can't wait for the next 3rd of July because the 4th is way too overrated.

God bless America.

Post Royal Wedding.

Hey everyone, 4 months later! So I've had about 15-20 people tell me that I really need to keep up on my blogs. To those handful of people, I'm sorry. I will try my best to write interesting stories to get you through your day at work. To be honest I didn't think anyone reads these.

I will be posting stories to catch you up on my 2011 Summer. Expect jump photos, crazy pool parties, planking photos and stories of my European adventure. Get excited.

For now I will pick up where I left off and that would be the royal wedding. Sadly when I went to London William and Kate where not home. I rang the doorbell twice and no one answered. Weird.

I did bring a super hot date to our royal wedding party. He is a LITTLE younger than me.



I thought things were going well with us... that is until i opened up my US weekly magazine and caught him with this chick.




Rude.


It feels good to be back. Happy Monday!
