Updates & Holiday Slack

So I've been horribly inconsistent with the blogging thing again - blame it on the new site VLOG4REEL (yay!). We've been working hard on getting some content up for the VlogStar Channels. I've been working with Comedian Jade Esteban Estrada - who just MC'd the GLAAD Awards on TV - very cool. He's absolutely one of my favorite comedians - he can tell a joke with just his facial expressions alone. I feel so honored that he's agreed to do some stuff for Vlog4Reel. I met Jade through another one of our VlogStars - Eric Fonseca. See no one thinks we have cool stuff in San Antonio but we've just been hiding under the radar... but no longer!

Also we've been doing a lot with the ProSpectives - which is still something we're working on defining - it's kind of a talkshow but then it's kinda just us gals sitting around bullshitting... for the moment we're sort of letting it be organic and define itself through the process. Amazing editor Tom Trevino's on board and I think with his energy and creative input we're gonna have some interesting episodes. The one we shot this last week we decided to dress up in 60's style so we raided Jive Refried's closet and found some hideous dresses to wear. It was a blast although I think the getups threw off our normal synergy but that's ok. Hopefully Tom will come up with some funny shiz to spice it up! Mari, Susan & Tom have been so much fun to work with. I'm excited to see where we go with it.

I just sent out the first press release for Vlog4Reel and we have another surprise coming soon that will be announced on CNN's "News To Me!" I'll let you know when we have a date. Biggest challenge I have now is getting the word out on this shoestring budget and having the time to do it. With both sites & a regular job I've been putting in 12 - 14 hour days (including weekends). But I love it so it's not a complaint.. just a little tired. I got a good nights sleep though last night so gearing up for a productive week.

My bf's dad's in town from GA this weeekend for the holiday. Just got done making the world's BEST potato salad. Yummy. We're grilling and the boyz are playing video games (surprise surprise)! I plan to takeover at some point and catch up on Mario Galaxy - which is just like the most fun video game ever!

So as it's almost time for dinner I'm gonna take off but leave you with well wishes for everyone's 4th Weekend! I didn't do much yesterday but got to see fireworks from my balcony. I soooo LOVE fireworks!!! The best show I ever saw was on the Pier in San Francisco... some big show they do every year where they introduce the latest in pyrotechnics (is that the right word). I'll never forget it... the crowd was huge and vibrant and noisy but once the fireworks started everyone was silent, mouth open in awe. My friend, Weiner, said it was like an orgasm for the eyes. And oh, yes, it was!
