Why is it that time flies like a G6 when you are in NYC? Since I got here Thursday afternoon I have experienced more, walked more, talked more, met more people, shopped more and been challenged artistically more than I have in a whole month in LA. NYC is the most amazing city in the world. No doubt! I’m almost contemplating moving here again. That is a feeling I haven’t had in over a year since I’m actually quite happy in LA. But I’m really in love with doing theater
3 hours of sleep and then off to LAX to catch my 6 am flight to NYC. Boom! After 4,5 hours on an overbooked Delta flight and a 55 usd taxi ride later I was on The Upper West Side ready for my chiropractor appointment. My back and ankle have been acting out lately and the only guy I know who can fix it is Dr. Harold Briks on West 75th. Completely spaced out, but grounded and relaxed after the treatment I went straight home to my friend and Co
Who: Singer, song writer & actress Marisa Lauren. Born in Tierra Verde, Florida. Today Marisa lives and works in Los Angeles. Where: You have probably either seen Marisa on the TV show ‘90210′, on ‘Greek’ or you might have heard her music, which she writes her self. Marisa started modeling as a kid and quickly fell into acting. She has since worked her way up and made a name for herself among the tops in Hollywood. Hard work, talent, focus, beauty and brains is securing this lady a bright future.
Just got this little rough-cut clip from my upcoming feature film about the famous Bernhard Madoff who was the operator of largest ponzi scheme in history. I play Babette, one of Bernie’s ‘bankster’ girls, who launder his money for him. The footage is not at all done, but it shows the ‘ice queen‘ side of me haha ;-). And I’m curious to see the whole movie. If you follow the news, Madoff is only one of many, many Wall Street boys who didn’t play by the book. A top of an
Yesterday at my friend’s birthday party I met a man from France. Nothing really crazy or extraordinaire about that since it seems that L.A. has it’s own little ‘Quartier de Paris‘. However, one of the topics we came upon was the French actress Emmanuelle Beart, who I remember best from ‘Manon of The Spring‘. Later at home cozy on my little zebra rug in front of my fireplace I began watching old movies and clips with the French beauty and suddenly I was caught up in what I would call
Today was a random day. I did not go to The Maxim Hot 100 Party yesterday because I had to get up early to work today. Also, I had an important audition. However, stuff happened and suddenly I was on the phone with NYC about a play that I might get involved in. See you can plan all you want, but they – them being the plans – always change. John Lennon’s ‘Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans’ is so old it is
Just got back from a fabulous dinner with friends and as I was preparing for bed I got into an email conversation online with an Italian photographer about black & white photography. We both agree that Fellini’s cinematography is very inspiring in this context and that our next shoot is going to be a night shoot. And if not in a fountain then in a pool. Yes, very Anita Eckberg in the Fontana di Trevi. But we all know I do not have Anita’s ‘attributes’ and we ain’t in Rome.
Just about to leave the house. Have a meeting and then finally something fun and social – a dinner with the girls at Cecconi’s in Beverly Hills. After days and nights in human celibacy locked up with my lab top and my own spinning mind it feels almost scary yet exciting to go out and mingle among ‘the masses’. Oh yes there was the audition yesterday night where I smashed both a chair and the toy riffle at the set. Aahhhhh not sure I made the best impression on the
Happy Mother’s Day people! Today my two great grandmothers would have had their birthdays were they still with us. A thought that takes me back to the days where the whole family would travel from all over the World to celebrate the oldest person in the family. It is rare I hear that people do that anymore. Unless you are in Sicily of course. Anyways, enough melancholy. What has been going on since last time? The quick sum up goes something like this: ‘Penning down insider stuff about NYC, gym, Netflix,
I’m so excited to have finished all my paper work, almost done with my book, I did my laundry, vacuumed my apartment, went to the gym, had a lunch meeting with a new exciting magazine, prepping for my upcoming movie, wherein I have to excel in speaking French oui-oui! Annnd as the cherry on top I got two new books in the mail that I’ve just begun reading. Candace Bushnell’s new ‘Summer in The City’. When writing about NYC I like to read other passionate New York lovers’ literature. Not
