Even though I’ve had soooo many other fantastic experiences since Miami,  I’m going to dig WAY back into the archives of my brain and serve up a dish you will never forget.

But here’s how it’s going down.  There were so many awesome events, parties, mishaps, etc…  too many to really go into here.  You’d be here all day!  I’m just going to give you headlines – kinda like Jay Leno – and let your imagination run wild.

Magical Mystical Riverdance

by

Don’t be Shy!  Leave a Reply!

So, I recently attended a performance of “Riverdance – the Farewell Tour” Opening Night Gala at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. 

I have to say, had I based my decision to attend on the television commercials from way back in the 90’s, when Riverdance became all the rage, I may never have set foot out of my house that night!  Those commercials gave me absolutely no reason to pick up the phone or drive to the box office to buy a ticket. So, for years I relegated Riverdance to the dark recesses of my mind, right there next to all six of the Saw movies, and the broadway play Taller Than a Dwarf.

But when I received an invitation for my clients to attend the opening night gala of  “Riverdance – The Farewell Tour”  at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood – well, let’s just say, five of my clients and their guests said “YES” and I was able to tag along. 

It was a great opportunity for my clients, and proved to be an incredible treat as well. Below is a strip of red carpet photos from that night… but you know the drill… I don’t divulge identities of my peeps!  So, you’ll just have to use your imagination!

As far as the show itself — can I just say “WOW“?   It was PHENOMINAL, magical, mysterious, ethereal… well – you get the point.  I had no idea!  I feel so fortunate to be able to say I’ve seen this incredible show!

It’s difficult to describe, but wikipedia puts it like this: “Riverdance is a theatrical show consisting of traditional Irish step dancing, notable for its rapid leg movements while body and arms are kept largely stationary.” 

Okay – so, I know what you’re thinking:  It’s a bunch of folk dancing demonstrations, like Mexican Hat Dancing or whatever… the kind that use to show up for “international day” in elementary school.  But I assure you – this is FAR FROM THAT!  It’s replete with music that ranges from jazzy and eclectic sort of celtic fusion to whimsical and contemporary music that accompanies the talented “step” dancers, as well as a few guests.  The guests range from street tap dancers (think Gregory Hines in “White Nights” or “Tap,”) to members of the Moscow Russian Dance Troupe.  And that doesn’t even begin to describe the incredible vocal ensemble, and ethereal choral combinations that these people were capable of!  Needless to say, the entire show – and it’s extremely talented cast – was outstanding. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys live performance, music, theatre or dance.  It’s got all of the above.

Here are just a few images from the performance.  You may want to check your local theatre listings and try to catch Riverdance, before it goes away for good!  It’s time and money very well spent.

So there you have it people!  I’m in blustery, wintery Massachusetts as I type this.  M.C.’s parents are celebrating FIFTY glorious years together.  Whew! You don’t see that every day… it’s AWESOME!

Tune in next week people, when you’ll get some backstage dish (vicarious, of course) on the Golden Globes, Sundance and more.  That is, if I can get my friends to TALK. HA!

Love you people! Mmmmmmphhhuuuuhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Random LA Coolness

by

This week you are being treated to a very rare type of post for me, in which I provide a list of items and briefly touch on them.  Rare, because I am quite verbose, and hey – I can’t say it all in a numbered list.  Also, I don’t really organize my thoughts like that.  Usually, something cool happens and I want to tell you all the details about the event, or the trip or whatever.  I don’t like to keep people guessing about what happened, which is bound to happen when I simply “touch” on things.   But alas, I do it from time to time,  to give you all a break!  Let’s be honest here, no one has time to read all this sh*t, right?  Everyone and their friggin’ MOTHER has a blog now.  How are you lovely people suppose to keep up?  HA.

If you are new here, WELCOME!  My blog is FUN, exciting, and dances along life’s edge, to say the least.  I talk about sex, drugs, rock-n-roll.  You name it!  But not so much this week.  It’s a LIST.  Hard to be edgy when you are taking inventory!

So, I observed or participated in some cool things this week.  Some of these cool things deserve more attention, and perhaps they’ll get their due another time, but until then, ENJOY my list of Random Coolness everyone! 

1. I love it when my man Emcee Nugget suggests something to do, we do it, and we have a cool LA-style event land right in our laps. And – ehem – didn’t I just say last week that something would land in my lap and I would share with you?  Well, don’t ever say I don’t deliver. We went to his neighborhood wine bar, Salute (it’s pronounced Salu-tay), and low and behold there was a super chic, model-infested fashion show about to start.  Not only did we not know about it in advance, but because we got there early, we didn’t have to pay to get in, we got the most FANTASTIC seats at the bar (just where the runway ended), and we were SURROUNDED by sheer gorgeousness and the coolest fashions of the season!  Top THAT!  Ha!

2.  Froggy’s Fish Market in Topanga Canyon is super COOL.  It’s tucked away near the top of Topanga Canyon (above Malibu) and has really cool outdoor seating.  We were there at night, and it felt like we were in the woods someplace else.  You could hear crickets in the trees, and as we were walking to our cars, we looked up and could see a starry sky alongside a gorgeous crescent moon. Very cool, people!

3. The pilates style work out I do is exceptional.  Originally founded by Sebastien Lagree and called Pilates Plus (now called SPX Fitness), it uses what he then called a Proformer (a seriously modified reformer, if you know pilates machines at all)  to work your ass off (no pun intended) for about 50 minutes a class – and all while rockin’ out to pumping music.  They are opening up all over the country and the world.  Check his website to see if there is one near you.  I go about five times a week to the Pilates Plus HBV (Hollywood, Brentwood & Venice).  I love it!  The result?  Well, supposedly, long lean muscles and loss of cellulite.  I think that’s happening, but all I really know for sure is something killer is happening to my abs, and I am liking the shape my body’s taking.  THAT my friends (to actually LIKE your body), is very cool. 

4. Walking in L.A.  It’s uber cool, because, as Missing Persons once sang:  “Nobody walks in LA!”  But M.C. and I do it all the time!  That’s right!  We walk from his apartment to the Library Alehouse, then to the bar at the World Cafe, then to the bar at Chaya Venice (whatever we are in the mood for – sometimes many more), heh heh.  But seriously – that’s why I love Main Street, Santa Monica.  You really can walk just about anywhere.  We walk to the beach, to the Santa Monica Pier, or along Main Street for shopping, etc.  Sweet.

And that’s all folks!  Those are ALL the things that are randomly cool in LA.  Nothing else is cool.  At least not here and now.

Stay tuned next week, where I’ll try to dispatch from NYC and share whatever interesting events take place.  M.C. and I are flying out on Saturday.

Have a beautiful weekend my lovelies!

Love you people!  Mmmmmmmmphhhhuuuhhhhh!

xoxo,
Ms. Cheevious

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

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
