My Zany Years Spent Working in Tinsel Town

Entertainment

Release the Chihuahuas!

M.C. Nugget and I went to a dinner party in the Los Felis / Silverlake area of Los Angeles tonight. It was at a friend of Nuggie’s who I’ll call Nola here (because she and her hubby also have a home and live a good amount of time in New Orleans). Nuggie’s known Nola and her husband for many years, and she is somewhat of a retired (or perhaps trying to retire) television writer. She is a hoot, and though she claims she is not domestic (she orders carry out for her dinner parties) she was also the one of the mostest hostesses I’ve ever met. And the dinner guests were an interesting mix of people too. They seemed to love life as much as we do and (perhaps not so coincidentally) work in or have worked in the entertainment business. What made the guests cool too is despite their chosen career paths, they still seemed sane and have managed to hold onto their souls.

Fun fun times, I tell ya.

But on to the reason for my post: An interesting topic of conversation ensued at one point, because Nola is a dog lover. She was talking about her current dogs’ personalities vs. her previous dogs, and then comparing them to other breeds. Then the subject of Chihuahuas came up (don’t ask why) and she rolled her eyes. “Those dogs are very loyal to ONE person. You two could own one, but it would either like you or Nuggie. Not both.” She told us about how her son traveled around the world, and in one of his trips to one of those now “forbidden to outsiders” countries, he was introduced to a dignitary. When he went to the dignitary’s home, the guy owned hundreds of Chihuahuas, which served not really so much as guard dogs, but more along the lines of piranha.

I could totally picture it. Imagine how utterly annoying it would be for a thousand little chihuahuas to charge at you all at once! And the yapping — Oh, the endless yapping! Oy!

Well, I’m sorry if I seem irreverent, but hey – I am. This just cracked me up. I couldn’t help but muster up my most evil, Dr. Evil voice and say “RELEASE the CHIHUAHUAS!”

So, I’ve decided that instead of buying Nuggie a cute snorty, squatty, chubby bulldog that he could name after some cute little flower, I am now going to save up and by him a hundred Chihuahuas, just so when he gets most annoyed at various idiots, he too can say “Release the Chihuahuas!” in his most evil and sinister voice… or at the very least he can warn, “Don’t make me or my dogs go all Chihuahua up in your face…”

Wouldn’t that be simply grand?

Thought I’d pass that little tidbit on to you. Ten hundred thousand hay pennies to the person who can guess which country uses Chihuahuas as piranha… and no fair using BING.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

Love you people! Mmmmmmppphuuuuhhh!!

Ms. Cheevious

No News IS Good.

by

Don’t be Shy!  Leave a Reply!

When I catch up with friends, I like to hear their “new” news. It signifies that things are movin’ and shakin’ and people in my life are making things happen.

In that sense, of course, I assume the reverse is true as well. My peeps want to hear the new juice – the new gossip – when they catch up with me.  After a while, I think hearing the same old things just gets boring and can be such a BUMMER (no matter how great things are — even hearing about that next fantastic thing that happens to a person, in a string of five-thousand other fantastic things – well it just gets dull – ya know? I like texture people – and the same ole-same ole is dull no matter how it affects your world.  Now, if you have a string of five thousand FANTASTIC things going on, then tell me what new insights you have gained or new ideas you have formulated. THEN you’ve got my attention.  Kapisch?)

Lately people, my emotional and day-to-day life’s been so much of a broken record I’m tired of recounting it and trying to discover new and creative ways of stating it differently. And let me tell you, it greatly affects my ability to get jazzed about much and severely impairs my ability to develop new insights or ideas.  All the things I’ve talked about over recent months – recovering my business from the downturn anyway possible, the struggles through other personal traumas and loss, etc. etc. etc. It just gets exhausting — and — well…. OLD.

So, I’m here to say I don’t have any news.  And THAT my friends is GOOD.   

I will end today’s post with a list of things I am so happy and grateful for. Because that’s just the kinda gal I am.

1. My two kids – they are so awesome, and bring joy to my life. Joy, that is impossible to describe or express in words.

2. My family — the time I’ve been able to spend with them, albeit under very sad circumstances. And with the loss of our mother, loss of our sister, and other turmoil – they still keep going strong, remaining positive and pushing through. They are all an inspiration.

3. My boyfriend – M.C. Nugget – who has turned out to be such an incredible friend and partner.  We get things done together – and we spend tons of time together – laughing, crying (mostly me, actually, unless I surprise him with something he really loves – which I absolutely LOVE to do – then he just weeps tears of joy) – but lateley it seems more often than not, we rummage through the mess that remains at the end of a catastrophe together – and yet somehow we still maintain our hope for the future, positive attitude, zest for life and our own individuality – it is very good.

4. My career choices – I love PR and Marketing and I am good at it. I am grateful that I actually DO know what I am doing, and I conduct business honestly and without pie-in-the-sky promises. I am real and I get things done. I am grateful for that career choice. And I am grateful for finally going out there and getting certified to teach my very FAVORITE form of exercise – SPX Fitness! WAHOO!

5. Finally seeing the west coast of California by car – as well as so many beautiful places I’d never been – like Hearst Castle – alongside my love, Nuggie, who was also my tour guide.  That was just last week – and stay tuned soon for a video and/or photo blog!

6. My ability to create and see the fruits of unending possibilities. We do create our lives each and every day.  As a matter of fact, we have, each of us, put an inordinate amount of time into creating everything in our lives in this very moment.  I’m creating an ooie-gooey chocolate brownie with pecans right about now!  ha ha.  Just kidding.

7.  YOU.  People who read, are intelligent, have a voice, and express it.  Love you people!

8. My country.  I get to say and write about whatever the hell I want, and that is a fantastic outlet! 

9. Food, Booze, Sex, Parties, Fun Events, Stilettos, Sunscreen, Makeup, Fashion, Travel, Adventure, Good Hair Days. (What?  You didn’t think I’d let those slip through did ya?)

Now go out and create a REALLY GREAT DAY for yourself, would ya?  Don’t worry about anyone else’s day – just yours.  I am off to New Mexico to sing with my three sisters and Maven’s daughter at Maven’s memorial service.  I miss her so very much – but I am grateful for the imprint she left on all of us – but mostly for that which remains of her on me.

Love you people! MMMMMMPPPHHHHUUUUHHHH!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Here a Mom, There a Mom, Everywhere a HOT Mom

by

We interrupt our regularly scheduled blogging to bring you a HOT mom picture.  Yes, we (and by we, of course, I mean me.  Here in Ms. Cheeviousland, I am pretty much royalty, so I’ve adapted the third person “royals” speaking style. Just an FYI.) were going about our daily blog business, writing about the state of the economy, and how it does or does not affect us, when we were just a bit distracted by some hot mommy pics.  This is what we aspire to people!

Hot Mom Jessica Alba

There were tons of shots.  This one (above) was our favorite.  You can peruse more here.

Anyhoo.  Just thought we’d send you a “hump-day” inspiration.  If you are as hot or hotter than Ms. Alba, well, yay for you!  But if you are like most, and still only strive to be in shape and personally sexy, then this should inspire you to get your bloody arse in shape now, shouldn’t it!?  Get on it people.  God knows we’ve been working our “arse” off five days a week… pilates, yoga, stair climbing, weight training, SPX Fitness, you name it!  Then again, we can’t complain.  We DID, after all, make it past the first cut of the Lingerie Football League tryouts for the Los Angeles Temptation, did we not?  We wrote about it (and posted a video of the tryouts) in the post “Lingerie… Football, That Is.”

Okay – enough of the “we”  crap!  Really girls… I post hot photos like this, not only for the cheap thrills and excitement you or your significant “other” can derive from them (or perhaps you AND that person), but also because of the sheer reality, that WOMEN WATCH OTHER WOMEN.  Why?  Because a) we appreciate beauty and hotness, and b) we WANT to BE that pinnacle of beauty and hotness.

Whether you agree that Jessica Alba is HOT or not, you will agree that she has a fantastic body, right?

So here I am again, preaching to the choir, I’m sure, but GET ON IT LADIES!!  (And to my male readers: please just appreciate what I’m doing here).  I’ve said it before, but if you really truly want something (like a hot body) you’re the only one who can really MAKE it happen.  Get to it.  Then report back.

Love you people!  Mmmmmmphhhuuuuhhhh!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Watch it and enjoy!

If you cannot view this (some email subscribers) follow this link, then be sure to come back and comment! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVasjwt1wfM

Lingerie…. Football, That Is

by

Okay, okay!  I know you are wondering if I went for it this past Saturday and tried out for the Los Angeles Temptation (the LA team in the Lingerie Football League) at their open tryouts.  I expressed my concerns (as to whether they might just laugh and tell me to go home, etc.) in my last post, “Lingerie Football League… To Tryout or Not.”  And the answer is…..

I did it.  Yep!

I went on Saturday, with borrowed cleats that were a half size too small (ouch), got in line, got my number (#111), and did what I could.  Here are my quick notes on the day, and I’ll let you get straight to the video:

  1. There were about 130 girls I believe – all around the average age of 22.
  2. There were some exceptional athletes, some of them returning players from last year (#112, Nikki, actually played four games last year for the LA Temptation, but had to drop out early).
  3. Because the league is new, and continues to gain momentum and recognition and respect, the bar is raised every year on the athletic talent they expect and recruit – so even the current team members have to try out again – even though the current team members won their Superbowl.
  4. It’s tough to sprint in cleats (note to self for next time), especially a half size too small, and on uneven grass.  HA!
  5. They watched the girls throughout the day, and if they were not up to par, they tapped them out and sent them home.
  6. I did not get tapped.  Me and about 64 other girls didn’t get tapped. HA!
  7. The plan is for the league and team to go back, review everyone’s scores and probably their looks, and choose TEN girls from those who remained, to go on to the next level.
  8. I am sure I was the oldest one there, but I didn’t feel like it.  I felt really great, and just finishing the day without being cut made me very proud of myself — almost unbearable to live with – mwaaah ha ha haaaaa.
  9. My man, coach and FOOTBALL mentor (since I’d never really even tried to throw or catch a football, nor did I know anything about the drills, etc… until just last week), was there every step of the way, cheering, photographing and taking video for all of you to see.

So without further delay, enjoy this little montage in honor of my tryout.  After I finished editing it, and posted it to Youtube, I thought perhaps it looked a bit over-the-top.  You know?  Like, all-about-MEEEEEE?  And I suppose it probably does.  But you know what?  TOUGH TOAST.  I am the one who’s banged up here.  I think we can let this one slide.  HA!

Enjoy……

If you receive this post via email, and cannot (for some reason) see the video box above, click on this link.  But be sure to come back and post a comment here!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws0Qum7YHUs

 

Note:  In the closing credits, I called myself “Tryer-Outer #1” because I was the first one to show up on the video… that’s usually how it’s done…  I didn’t do it in reference, obviously, to the number I was assigned for that day.

So there you have it!  My big day!  The best news is, if I really want to seriously train and tryout again, with better speed, agility, etc… I will have another chance right before training camp in late July or August!  Yayyyyy!!

Have a fantastic week you sporto’s out there. Go get some exercise!

Love you people!! Mmmmmmmmpppphhhuuuuhhhhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Lingerie Football League – To Tryout or Not

by

 

Click to leave a Reply

You may recall that my man and I were able to catch the Lingerie Football League Superbowl game in Miami, while there for the actual NFL Superbowl. I talked about it in the post “SAINTS Bitch!” and if you are a “friend” on Facebook, you saw the photos from the game.  I said then, and I meant it, that I would love to play for the Los Angeles Temptation.  I am a HUGE football fan, and exceptionally athletic.  I think it would be an absolute BLAST.

Well, kiddos… that opportunity is about to present itself.  I just found out last Saturday that the LFL is hosting open tryouts this coming Saturday, the 24th (I know, not much notice… it’s a good thing I am athletic and try to stay fit year round)!

So, the only thing that concerned me, is that like they do on American Idol – the LFL may have an age limit – or at least an unwritten one.  I contacted them, and they said there is no age limit.  But they may want to portray an image of only the hottest, youngest chicks – which I wouldn’t blame them for.  But I am leaving it to you people to tell me your thoughts.  I still may choose to simply watch the tryouts this year, and make a decision to try out next year – but the biological clock is tickin’ if ya know whatta mean… So, I am wondering if you all think I should just GO for it?

The questionnaire / application asks us what we’ve done – sports-wise – and I’ve done plenty.  Except, of course, play football. I’ve figure skated, run track, weight trained (body building), rock climbed (the real kind, more than once a week), and practiced yoga and pilates for several years.  But still.  I do NOT want to show up at the try outs and have them raise their eyebrows, snicker and tell me to forget it.

Also – they ask the new recruits to bring a photo to leave behind.  I will probably take one that looks more like one of the LINGERIE FOOTBALL players – in my sports bra and workout shorts, but here are a few of me in similar attire to give you an idea.  You tell me what you think. Should I be wise and just WATCH try outs this year?  Or should I GO FOR IT?

As a Naughty Police Officer

I don’t compare in any way shape or form to the lady in the photo above, who’s abs could cut through steel. But I try.

 

Bikini Clad

That’s it for now my beautiful little blog-ites.  Stay tuned next week for my decision, and the subsequent videos / pics to go along (if I do it).

Have a fantastic rest of your week boys and girls!

Love you people! Mmmmmmpppphhhuuuuhhhh!!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious
