No Cheeseburger in My Paradise

So so so much going on. Where to begin. Well I guess the best news is we taped the footage for the CNN bit last week and overall it went well although I was a little disappointed with my performance. I wasn't nervous exactly. I think the problem was I had so much to say and I couldn't remember all of it - the second the camera went on I forgot everything. I guess it's the idea of all those eyes on me.. like the camera's big EYE represents every eye in the world and well, since I can't imagine the camera naked I had nothing to shake me out of it. So I used cue cards and that was challenging. I'm praying it's useable, but if not I'm totally down for a reshoot although I'll be lucky to get my hair to look like that again. Lisa Weller, amazing stylist, did my hair and I don't know what she did but for a day I had celebrity hair. I felt like cinderella. But the second I washed it, poof, my chariot turned right back into a pumpkin and the starlit was gone. Se la vie.
So I've sent out the press release to all the major and local media and I got a call today from a guy I've never even heard of from a company that doesn't even show up when I google - and he critisized me for sending out info on it when it's so new (no one's using it yet). I'd like to know how you get people on if no one knows about it. I think people in the industry are so used to pretending their one thing when they're another. I'm not ashamed of the fact that we're new, that we're grassroots. I think it gives us an edge because we're fresh and we're honest and we are what we are and we're not afraid of that. I refuse to live in a world anymore where I have to hide any part of myself and no one should. We should all be loving and appreciative of our differences and our uniqueness. That's what keeps it all interesting. Viva la Liberty!

So I'm really excited about where we're going with both Blog4Reel and Vlog4Reel. I think the News To Me show will catapult us into the public eye which is what we need and the rest is up to you, the viewer, the artists, the eyes of the web. All we can do is create and hope you like what you see. Of course we are always up for suggestions. Tonight we're having a ProSpectives meeting for our next episode. Has anyone watched it yet? I think Tom's edits/drawings are brilliant and make me laugh.

The only blah part of my life right now is my difficult tummy. I had an "attack" Friday night. I thought it was food poisoning. My nutritionist thinks it's my gallbladder, my healer friend thinks I might have an ulcer.. so I don't know what to think. Either way I'm cutting WAY back .. only eating clean foods and attempting to be Postive about the whole thing. NO STRESS = SUCCESS! I believe that. Getting to that peaceful happy placing and Staying there is the hard part in our society. But I will perservere, GD!
