Ms. Cheevious En Masse

Apologies to my email subscribers in advance, for this extra post.  I know it only adds to the increasing number of unimportant emails in your inboxes, but I promise I would NOT have sent this if I didn’t think you might want to know about this.

It’s finally happened people. Ms. Cheevious has hit the internet, en masse.  I am now nestled quite comfortably within the annals of history because a great guy and incredible PR professional (and well, my – ehem – at times – zany antics), who decided to put me in his spotlight (albeit for a moment). 

Levine Breaking News, which is read by over 300,000 people worldwide, requested that I be their “FaceSpace” person a few weeks ago.  And my response was – – – what, are you KIDDING me?  Of course I said yes.  We all know how much I love the attention! So – this bonus post is for that very reason- to allow you a sneak peek into the slow but steady growth in popularity of Ms. Cheevious – and all that entails, of course — wah ha ha ha. 

Please go and subscribe to the LBN E-lert, if you are so inclined.  It’s actually a fantastic news source (hellooooo? they found me and saw the news potential, didn’t they?), and it offers some great hollywood tidbits as well.  I’d also like you to subscribe as a gesture of good will toward Mr. Michael Levine who saw the potential in my little blog (and the book that began it all), for noticing MOI, and for putting it in his E-lert!!

The REAL White Out

by

The Scene:  Sky Bar. Mondrian Hotel. Sunset Strip. Hollywood.

Not trying to steal the thunder from the upcoming movie, White Out.  But just LOOK at this picture!  LOOK at it people! 

Have you ever in your life seen so much white-hotness in your life? This is what it is like, here in the big fishbowl that is Los Angeles, people! That’s right – the City of Angels. 

 SkyBarScene

 (Our seats for the remainder of the evening – after being moved around – were to the LEFT of this picture, at the end of the pool, under a tree! Awesome!)

Rumor had it that even RYAN SEACREST was in attendance.  Can you spot him?  HA HA.  Yep!  The place was CRAWLING with A-LISTERs I tell ya.  Ha!  (Actually, it was so packed, it is highly likely it was – but we stayed in our corner, and had the cute waitresses bring things to us.  It was the life! Ha ha!)  But rest assured, Ryan was as hot looking as everyone else, if he was there. Speaking of American Idol (ha!  shameless search engine ploy here), can you BELIEVE about Ellen DeGeneres?  I think that’s an AWESOME choice!  HA!

I have to say, though, the absolute HOTTEST couple there had to be – uh – well – hellOOOOO!  Me and my man, M. C. Nugget of course! 

MC-MsCh-White

If you are new here – WELCOME! Glad to have you! But, just so you know, I don’t divulge any of my friends’ or family member’s identities here in Ms. Cheevious-land!  You can find out more about the characters I talk about on my “About This Blog” page.

But stop the presses here.  I must take a moment to compliment the Sky Bar.  We arrived early – in fact we were among the first to arrive and the last to leave.  My friend – who is the manager and was so kind to include us on the list – greeted us so warmly at the door and walked us in, letting us know we could have whatever lounge area was not already reserved.  We found that most were reserved, and if they weren’t, unless we wanted to order bottle service at $350.00 minimum, we’d have to move. 

They were so accommodating and handled things so well – they had the PERFECT guy handling the tables, and he kindly moved us from one hot spot to the next (twice moving us), until we landed at a very awesome spot under a tree with twinkle lights – pool side.  It was VERY FUN!!!

So, that’s it kids!  That’s all I got!  Sorry – but it’s now FOOTBALL SEASON! For goddssakes people! And this year, I joined Nuggie’s football pool, so I have a vested interest! 

But tune in next week for at least one of the other zany Hollywood experiences I have to dish on (Sunday football at Baja Cantina, a Hawaiian-themed wedding in Malibu, or the night at the BIKINI BAR!  WOO HOO!).  It’s a great life, people – and SOMEBODY’S got to live to tell about it – so I’m here for ya’.

Love you people!  MMMMMPPPHHHUUUHHH!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

While LA Burns: Hollywood Hobnobbing and What – NOT

by

“Hollywood” events were not what they were cracked up to be last week my friends. Especially amid the turmoil happening just to the east of us Westsiders that is burning through untold acres of countryside, homes and businesses.  It’s tough to put your heart into the frivolity when that crazy stuff’s going on and you can see the flames and the mushroom cloud of smoke from several spots in Los Angeles.

 

LAFires 2009
This was taken from Mulholland Drive by a guy named Stephen Parisi, who posted it on Facebook sometime last week. 

But last weekend’s events weren’t without their fair share of, shall I say, “interesting” incidences. Oh sure, it was awesome to participate with my client in the red carpet arrivals, and such.  I just don’t think there was the kind of PIZZAZ or glamour you’ve become accustomed to, to report or dish on it too much.  But I’ll try.

Thursday night, prior to the Daytime Emmys festivities, I attended a Public Relations Society of America – Los Angeles Chapter mixer.  Nothing glamorous there.  Sounds just like a regular old mixer right? Well, it was.

But I’d had higher hopes for the event.  I think I had in my mind I would attend, meet a few people, and then see them at the walk-through of the theater or on the red carpet. 

What in the world got into me!?  Did I REALLY think that on the eve of one of their busiest weekends, publicists for daytime television and its stars – from all across LA-LA-Land – would suddenly break away from the pandamonium to attend a PR Society networking event?  I shoulda known better.  No kiddos.  I am the only *##*)*&  moron out there “optimistsically insane” enough to think I can manipulate time, stuff my schedule so much it looks like I’ve injected it with steroids, and still smile and make nicey-nice in the process. 

Now, had it been a Daytime EMMYS publicist mixer, you bet your sweet daisy every publicist from across the UNITED STATES would have come scratching, kicking and screaming to get in.

That’s how the weekend started.  Interesting.  But the rest, along with a few highlights, went as follows:

Friday:  Publicist and Press Walk-Through at the Orpheum Theatre.

The highlight here was meeting the people – the publicity team – who were responsible for securing my credential for red carpet, as well as a very cool gal who’s the director of publicity for CBS.

Saturday: After dinner get-together with my client and friends at the bar atop the Standard Hotel, in downtown L.A.

The best part here was hanging with our friends Ricky and Lucy, and that the bar was chock-full-a-hotties – great people watching – and we (my guy, M.C. Nugget and I) met a prominent casting director, which we were both glad about! The sobering part:  We could see the FLAMES from the L.A. fires, as clear as if  they were close enough to jump the highway and burn through downtown!

Sunday: Red Carpet escort, photo ops and interviews for my client.

Lots of little tid-bits here:  1) I ran into two people (a stage manager and a talent manager) that I use to work with at MTV, VH-1 and more… Fun stuff!  2) I got to see who the new hotties of daytime tv are – male and female… and wow – they make em young these days! Ha!  3) I saw Susan Lucci up close – and yes, she is just as fabulous and fit and gorgeous in person – probably moreso – as she seems on television.  4) It was 6000 degress, so I dripped my way through media interviews.  5) I was able to get my client interviewed by a few of the outlets.  6) A harsh reality in this biz: because my client was not a presenter on the show, nor was he nominated, it was tough to get the already bogged down press to pay attention to him.  I’m sure it was largely in part to the fact it was one of the most bottlenecked, over-crowded, slow moving red carpets I have EVER worked! As a result, only one of his interviews aired online, and only a couple of the still photos showed up. But hey – it’s there in cyberspace now.  There’s no disputing that!

I know you want to hear more.  You’d like to hear about my glamorous hair and makeup, what designer I wore, yada yada.  Right?  Well, I wore a khaki business skirt that was right above my knees, a red tank top and red heels. My hair was done by MOI (that’s ME in french), and so was my makeup, which consisted of face powder, a bit of eye shadow – I think – and mascara. 

Sorry!  I know you expected SO much more!

But it was an eventful weekend, nonetheless.  Definitely replete with Hollywood Hobnobbing. 

NOT.

But this weekend it’s LABOR DAY!  YAY!  Next week we can all actually get some work done.  HA!

Speaking of next week, tune in for my dish on the White Party at Sky Bar  -M.C. and I are attending this Sunday night! 

Have a beautifully warm and breezy weekend everyone!

Love you people!  Mmmmmmpphhuuuhhhh!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

On Thinking Big & Making Things Happen

by

Anyone who knows me or reads my blog regularly, knows that I refuse to listen to the crazy voices.

I know, I know.  I do have some crazy voices in my head, it’s true.  We’ve all seen what they can do.

crazygirl

If you are new here, I’m so very sorry…

Sorry it’s taken you so long to find us, that is (bah-dah-bum).

Seriously, though, we are FUN. Not only that, we are smart, witty, and we have lots to say.  And by we, of course, I mean me.  I AM the Queen after all, and working my HRH, group-speak on ya’ll.

Well, sometimes I think I am a group. Trust me – or — well —- trust us.  We’ve got a LOT going on with all these voices in our head.

But I digress.

I’m actually speaking of the crazy voices out THERE.  Out there in the ether – in the universe – swirling around us, in the background, in our faces, in our ears, all around us – telling us to WORRY – to be AFRAID – to be DEPRESSED – to “hold on to our money, because everything is going to hell in a hand basket” (wow! where’d that one come from?  I just pulled that one outta nowhere)!

I refuse to allow those voices (about how the economy “sucks,” the job market “sucks,” the housing market “sucks,” and how people “just aren’t spending”) to influence me.  I just will not participate.   You want to know how to do that don’t you?

Keep reading, slick.

Are you thinking that you might lose your job if you aren’t careful?  Well, STOP thinking that, ya big dope! DO a GOOD JOB and make yourself invaluable! That’s all you can do.

Are you feeling bad for friends and family because they are suffering financially, and depressed?  SO, STOP FEELING BAD!

How about if you and your kids go over and clean up your friend’s or family’s house or do their laundry?  Or maybe even bake them some cookies.  It won’t pay their electric bill, but it will lift their spirits, and put them in a better mental position to pick themselves back up!

It will also help your kids learn a valuable lesson about taking care of the people in their community or inner circle.

If you don’t have kids, borrow someone’s.  God knows most kids out there could use an influential experience like that.

I tell ya, a kind gesture (dinner and a bottle of wine at your house – especially at a time when you may not be positive of your own future) goes a LOOOONG way.  Way more than feeling badly for them, and creating the potential for it to bring you down in the process.

You’ve heard the axiom used many times before, in many ways:

Worry begets worry.

Fear begets fear.

Sadness begets sadness.

Well, guess what?  It works the other way too:

Money begets money.

Laughter begets laughter.

Positive Energy begets positive energy.

Work begets work.

You get the idea.

Many of you know that I own a business.  I recently dealt with a client undergoing serious cut-backs.  This caused me to have to cut back as well.  It’s the nature of the beast (cut-backs beget cut-backs, I suppose).

In spite of it all, however, I refused to believe that all was lost, everything was over, and now I’d become just one more cog in the wheel of this juggernaut of a bad economy.  And I still don’t believe it.  Not one iota of it.  Not only do I not believe it – I don’t act like it’s true. Quite the contrary, actually.

That doesn’t mean I blindly flounce around, spending money as if the same amounts of money magically appear into my bank account every day, just as they did in the past.  I’m not THAT whacky.  You’ve got to be intelligent, think ahead, and spend accordingly. That’s always true.

And I’m also not saying it’s just simple and easy-breezy for me to remain positive and act accordingly.  It’s been a tough road lately – that is for sure.  The negative voices are so very loud.

But when people ask how things are, the truth is – and I tell them: “They are FANTASTIC. I love what I do, and I am still doing it! I am so lucky!”

And I have never doubted the unwavering fact that I am GOOD at what I do, and there are hundreds — no — thousands of people and businesses out there just waiting for a business like mine to come along and make their businesses and careers ROCK.  It is only a matter of time before we find each other.

Then today something happened to only further solidify my resolve.  I got the call about a new account.  One that will make me very busy, and has potential for much more.  This, on top of many other things that are spinning and fermenting, and just about ready to — POP!!  Did I mix metaphors there?

The point is, these are GOOD things, people!

Don’t you see?  It’s that whole thing – “You are what you think.”  If you think you will fail, then you already have.  If you really truly think, and believe, and cannot be convinced otherwise – that you have it in you to be BIG and make things happen, then that wheel has already started rolling, babe.  It’s only a matter of time before that seed starts to grow.  It’s also a matter of you intending it to happen and staying focused on it.  That’s what yogi’s mean when they speak of their “intentions.”  It’s not some plan they are secretly plotting and devising.  “Intentions” really means what they elude to – when used by you or me, or anyone else, it is what we INTEND to happen.

So INTEND some great things your way, would you?  Stay focused.  Like a Bulldog, baby.  Don’t let ANYONE or ANYTHING deter you. Get one wheel rolling first.

Then get lots of wheels rolling.  Great big things will start to happen for you!

I’ve soooo got to run now peeps!  I’ve got clients to take care of, interviews to book, and all kinds of things steam rolling their way into my life.  Tune in next week!  I’ll dish on some fantastic Hollywood events and gatherings I’m attending!

Love you people! Mmmmmppphhuuuhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Emmys Baby!

by

Because I posted once this week already – in “Are You Ready to Rock Your Body?” – and so many of you subscribe to my posts via email, I am going to make this brief (I don’t ever want to be one of those pesky email senders that ends up in the virtual – or real – trash)!

So, it’s BACK by POPULAR DEMAND!  The Emmy Awards is back, that is.  And I am escorting one of my clients, Ricky (of Ricky & Lucy “alias” fame) down the red carpet.  Okay – it’s for the Daytime Emmys, which are airing on August 30th on the CW Network, but it’s Emmys nonetheless. 

Also, um – well – I am not attending the awards. 

Nope. 

Not this year. 

I had quite an evening last year, as evidenced by my post “Emmys Girl“.  You see, after I drank like a fish on an empty stomach, got hit on by the entire Detroit Piston’s offense (are they all on offense?), sexy danced in front of Hollywood A-listers at the TV Guide party, made an absolute fool of myself, and was accused of being a Jimmy Kimmel stalker all in one night – I decided a girl can only do that once a decade.  Especially when it’s in front of the same peeps! HA!

Here I am at the FX party at Foxtail that night – prior to my fateful and debilitating inebriation, which prompted me to tell the paparazzi at Comedy Central’s party, after all of the flashes finished, that the girl they had just photographed (me) was Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood (this of course garnered quite a few laughs) rather than what I SHOULD have said, “[My Name] – award-winning author of Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood“:

So, now, the question is:  Professional suit?  Or Cocktail Dress?

Remember, I am only escorting him down red carpet to make sure he gets interviewed by all the right media, then I will head home or wherever my little heart desires.  So, I need to remain in the background.  I do have a hot little gray satin, off-the-shoulder Nicole Miller cocktail dress that could work, though. 

What do you think?  That I wear too much Nicole Miller? HA!

And what about hair?  I am thinking straight and down, rather than up?

Okay – enough about me.  Well – it’s NEVER enough – hee hee.  But I am in Albuquerque this week, so not much to report on the current Hollywood scene.  I promise to transmit from LA-LA-Land next week, and it’ll be OUTRAGEOUSLY DELICIOUS!

Love you people!  Mmmmmmppphhuuhhhhhhh!!!!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Are You Ready to Rock Your Body?

by

I know this is an extra post this week. 

Bonus!  Since I don’t always send one out every single Thursday, like I would prefer.  So, consider this a make-up post of sorts.

I just wanted to share this video with you…. because – yes, it’s official.  I am a TV star.  I’m all over TV Guide Channel’s “Secrets of the Hollywood Body” – and I have the video clip to prove it!

Check THIS out.  Look for the girl in the HOT PINK top and black pants during the RockIt Body Pilates segment.  THAT IS ME!!! Yippee!

 


 

 

If for some reason your email (for you subscribers out there) does not allow you to see the video player above, then follow this link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryaZCrS-W-Q

 

Okay – so I cannot say I was the FEATURE on this piece, but what I can say is – hey, I am THERE, plain and simple people!  Watch and learn.  And if you ever come out to LA-LA Land and ask to meet up with me, just know you WILL be trying this awesome form of pilates!  (And, yes, I noticed I was chewing gum in this video… where was my on-camera stylist to guide me in the right direction??)

Stay tuned later this week. I’ll be dishing on something fabulous in Los Angeles. 

Have a great rest of your week! 

Love you people! Mmmmmmphhhhuuuhhhhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious
