Cute outfit I tried to wear to the Quebic Comic Show

I decided to go casual for the Montreal Comedy Show in West Hollywood at the Comedy Store.  It's starring two Quebecian (is that a word?) comics who are young, hungry and cute!  Sugar Sammy, named “One Of 10 Rising Comedy Talents From Around The World” by the Hollywood Reporter, performs at the Comedy Store, with opening act, Daniel Tirado.

Sadly I'm an idiot went to the wrong comedy store in LA since I wrote down the wrong address.  Thank goodness I'm cute to make up for my rare ditzy moments!

So I wore a pair of dark skinny jeans, a jade green silk tank with beading, black sweater shrug and a pair of opal earrings.  I enclosed two shots so you can see the details on my tank and a pair of earrings I've had for years.  I do love my accessories they really help to add a little something (texture, visual interest, contrast) to an outfit.  Since I'm not a super flashy dresser but do I enjoy wearing outfits that compliment my body and coloring.  This entire outfit was bought at Nordstrom Rack at a variety of locations and time. 

The jeans were by Svoboda who makes jeans for women of all sizes in complimentery styles. LOVE her jeans! http://svobodastyle.com/

I have a couple of tops from Calvin Klein and adore the detailing they have.  I also like the fact that they aren't 'old lady' looking!  http://www.calvinkleinjeans.com/category/index.jsp?categoryId=3430139

Quebec in Hollywood Festival

Quebec in Hollywood Festival

Have you heard that from September 9 – 25, 2011 is the Quebec in Hollywood Festival? 

They are celebrating everything from cuisine to art to music and everything in between that celebrates the French speaking province.

I attended the tasting the Grill in Hollywood’s Hollywood & Highland Center with Chef Jean-Pierre Curtat from the Casino de Montréal.  They are serving his specially curated menu from September 13^th – 17^th as well as a special selection of wine and beer that compliments his food.  You can try special drinks featuring Quebec liqueurs including Neige Apple Ice Wine, Unibroue Double Fermented Beers and Sortilege a maple infused whiskey at the Grill and Public Kitchen & Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel.

You can see Corno paintings influenced by Marilyn Monroe and bronze sculpture series called A Drop for Sharing by Margo Genest at the David Lawrence Gallery in Hollywood. 

The festival will be celebrating the premier of IRIS, the Cirque du Soleil’s first resident show in Los Angeles.  I haven’t seen the show so have copied the following information from their website.  ‘This new production from Cirque du Soleil is a lyrical, fanciful, kinetic foray into the seventh art. Bringing together dance, acrobatics, live video, filmed sequences and animation, the show takes spectators on a fantastic voyage through the history of cinema and its genres, taking them into the heart of the movie-making process. From illustration to animation, black and white to colour, silent films to talkies, fixed shots to swooping camera movements, spectators witness the poetic construction/deconstruction of this art as an object and as a way of transcending reality.’

The Comedy Club in Hollywood is having a show on September 15^th starring two talented comics named Daniel Tirado and Sugar Sammy who have gained accolades from around the world as artists and creative performers.

I am excited to attend the music event since I’m not familiar with most of their recording artists.  They are having selection of artists who perform a variety of music to highlight the diversity of sound the Québec recording industry has to offer to audiances.  It includes everything from jazz, classical, hip hop, alternative and world music. This diversification has also helped broaden and develop new audiences with exporting international artists that include hip hop artist Drake (Canadian).

Montréal, Québec hosts fashion festivals throughout the year including the acclaimed Festival Mode & Design every summer as well as two annual Fashion Weeks.  They will be hosting a fashion show on September 22^nd that will show the talented designers, garment industry craftsmen and apparel manufacturers http://www.mri.gouv.qc.ca/quebecinhollywood/fashion.asp

Québec in Hollywood's most prestigious night will take place on the opening of the Québec film festival at the Egyptian Theatre, in the heart of Hollywood. Some of the most prominent Québec celebrities living in the Hollywood area will be rocking the red carpet and attend the International Premiere of Starbuck, a comedy from Ken Scott.

Keep on moving forward no matter what happens

I'd been with my job for almost 4 years (got good reviews, team player, etc) and all of a sudden my manager called me into her office to say 'it wasn't working'.  It threw me for a loop to say the least.  She never gave any explanation other than she'd gotten a promotion and needed an assistant with 'different' skill sets.  Urghh So I got transferred to another manager as a place setter till I found a new position since I was told I was no longer a good fit for the office.  I've to adopt the philosophy 'one door closes .. another opens' since I'm a good employee.  Hard worker, team player, no job to small, independent, friendly, professional, smart and LIKES to work.  I've decided to take my hobby of social media sites and turn it into a business.  I'm in the process of setting up a site, working with a camera team and looking for a photographer for professional photos.  I haven't really allowed it to set in since I've been job hunting/creating projects since my last day.

How can yo love our country and want the US to fail?????

I am so frustrated that the GOP, Tea Party and small minded people would rather see our country fail than for President Obama’s policies to succeed.  At the same time these people say how much they love our country and say how the President isn’t American but really it’s about their hatred of change.  The change in the demographics of our country, the way the economy is passing them by because of their lack of education and distrust of ‘different’.

What shows to watch this coming fall 2011 (Basic Cable)

So what shows new shows are you planning to watch this fall on TV?  If you want a hint this seems to be the week that TV Guide, EW and LAT (amongst many) gives you a synopsis.  I’ve done you a HUGE favor and am going to recommend the shows that I plan to waste 30 minutes of my life watching … tee hee

Sunday

Allen Gregory (Fox)

http://www.fox.com/programming/shows/?sh=allen-gregory

I plan to watch Allen Gregory because I’m a huge cartoon/anime geek and think that Jonah Hill is such a cutie (tee hee).  I saw a tiny bit of this during Comic Con and think it has an interesting premise.  It’s about a super-rich genius kid that is transferred from private school to public school.  Egads!  lol

Once Upon a Time (ABC)

http://abc.go.com/shows/once-upon-a-time

This show sounds interesting but since it’s on ABC I am sure they will cancel it once I fall in love with the series.  I mean really that’s ABC’s MO with every show I’ve ever liked on the network!  Anyway back to my thoughts about this new modern take on a fairy tale.  This show has classic fairy tale characters that have their memories removed and are living in the present.  Hmmm I wonder if we will be seeing Rose Red and Rose White in a future episode.

Monday

Terra Nova (Fox)

www.fox.com/terranova 

You have to be living under a rock to now know about this show.  It’s Stephen Spielberg’s science fiction drama about how human have destroyed earth with our polluting ways.   To save humanity they have constructed a time machine to send a select group of people to live in the past with DINASOURS.  In one way it’s AWESOME to finally have a weekly show on network TV where people will be eaten by a T-Rex or a giant crocodile but it looks like every episode will be super expensive to produce so I hope it finds an audience lightning fast.  It looks like an OK show nothing that gets me too excited about since other than dinosaurs it’s not that original.  Ehhh I’ll give it three episodes.

Tuesday

New Girl (Fox)

www.fox.com/newgirl   

When I first saw posters for this Zooey Deschanel comedy I must admit to trepidation.  Since it looked like a horrible premise and then I saw the first commercial.  I fell in love with her zany character and the great chemistry of the cast.  I’m really looking forward to the first episode and am sure it’s going to make me laugh till I cry.  I must admit that it’s partly because her lack of dating skills/common sense is an awful lot like me when I see a cute guy a shriek to my friend’s hubba hubba! 

Reed between the lines (BET)

http://www.bet.com/shows.html

Sounds like a nice family friendly comedy straight out of Brandon Tartikoff’s genius NBC lineup and is starring Malcolm-Jamal Warner of Cosby kid fame.  Malcolm plays an English Professor with a wife and three kids who I am sure are cutely naughty with lots of fatherly wisdom dispensed. 

Ringer (CW)

www.cwtv.com/shows/ringer

Is the new drama mystery starring Sarah Michelle Gellar who stars as twins with a past.  One is a stripper on the run and the other a rich wife with a dangerous secret.  One sister is given a second chance at life by taking over her sister’s life but is it a better life?  That’s what they are hoping you’ll tune in to watch every week.  I’m a huge Buffy fan so am going to give this show the benefit of the doubt.  Since it looks like one of those shows that have tons of dead ends, double crosses, twists and turns I’ll watch 5 episodes before deciding if it will be added to my DVR record list.

Wednesday 

Up all night (NBC)

www.nbc.com/up-all-night

I am looking forward to this ensemble comedy since I do love a good laugh.  I have to say that I’m a huge fan of Will Arnett and think he’s crazy funny.  Having friends with a new baby is full comedic gold especially with the crazy friend who refuses to acknowledge the changing circumstance of FWB (Friends With Baby).   It’s pretty close to what’s going on with my friends with people pairing up, getting married and starting families.   So am sure this will keep me laughing like an idiot!

Whitechapel (BBCAmerica)

http://press.bbcamerica.com/program.jsp?id=34047

Looks like a great British import that will premiere on October 26^th so we have a bit of a wait.  It’s mystery where a crazed serial killer is reenacting famous crimes in London.  I haven’t seen any ads but am excited to see this show.  It’s all part of new Wednesday night drama series of shows that BBCAmerica is showcasing.

Thursday

None of the new shows interest me.

Interview with Jim McCarthy, Goldstar CEO at the TEDxGoldstar event in Los Angeles

I was really excited to briefly speak with Jim McCarthy the CEO of Goldstar based out of Pasadena, CA.  I'm sure that you know about Goldstar it's the great site that sells tickets to all sorts of events all over the USA.

It was such fun speaking with him about Goldstar sponsoring TEDxGoldstar at the Downtown Independent Theatre

Treading water

Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only one at 40something to feel so out of sorts.  I look back at my younger self who was so confidant and passionate.  Who knew what she wanted to do with her life, a career she loved and was dating.

Now I’m just treading water and feel like all the things I want to do have passed me by to be pursued by younger women who are taking my jobs.  I hate to sound bitter but I’m really frustrated that I’m an accomplished, smart, hardworking woman who’s looking for a job.  I’m trying to create opportunities that use my talents of communications, style, personality and wit to my advantage for a new career direction.

So I’m looking at the communication field which was my minor in college (so long ago) and advertising which was my original major before I switched to Political Science (I really wanted to help people/make a change than I realized it was full of disappointment and very little money).  

I currently working with Tony and Camille who operate the camera at various events I attend to interview people.  I’m hoping that my great sense of humor and friendly interview style will attract the attention of a media service that will either bring me on as contractor or FT with my team production team.

I’ve already done interviews at the First Los Angeles Taste food event.  I worked events in Beverly Hills and Hollywood with my team we got some great interviews with chefs and attendees.  I’m looking forward to doing a series on the vibrant creative chefs we have here in Los Angeles.  I’m also interested in learning more about the ‘Farm to Table’ cooking philosophy that quite a few chefs believe in and follow.

I’m planning on talking with up and coming chefs, established chefs, food truck operators, small restaurants, caterers and just learning about food.  I think that it will be a great series as a lover of eating good food.

It’s sort of crazy but I was feeling frustrated about my career direction but even just writing about my new career plans gets me SOOO excited!  I just can’t believe that my midlife crisis has just reignited my passion!

Natural hair ...

I've finally decided to try my

August has had major ups and downs

Well am looking forward to the end of August after leaving my job with Cedars Sinai Medical Center.  Am feeling relieved that I'm no longer in my stagnate job and am forcing myself to make the change I've been talking about all year.  Sometimes a regular paycheck is almost like a ball and change since it's hard to walk away but you know that the job isn't right for the person you have grown to become. 

I had originally thought that I really wanted to work for a hospital but after four years with CSMC I realize it's not the industry for me.  I really enjoy working at Amgen a few years ago so I thought that a hospital was a logical progression after working in the pharmaceutical industry but I was wrong. 

So I am now looking for a FT job back at Amgen (if I get a job out their I'll move the commute is too hard from LA), with a few of the local Universities/Colleges in the area, Special Event Management and Sales.  Onward and upward in my pursuit of a career that will be a great fit for my background and personality.

Favorite dating shows

I have to be honest .. first of all I find men of all races attractive (chocolate brown skin of a man of African descent to bisque of a red headed Irish Man) but usually am attracted to Asian, White, European, Italian, South Asian, Middle Eastern and foreign men in general.  But as a woman living in Los Angeles, CA it is DANGED competitive as HELL!!!  It's the land of the 'Barbie' doll .. super skinny, super young, skinny and surgery enhanced big boobs and/or asses.

So I never got much interest from men after gaining a lot of weight after moving to LA and not eating healthy/working out/walking.  But I've been working on myself for the past two years.  I've lost over 50 pds with changing my diet, taking long daily walks and regularly working out at the gym.  In addition I've changed up my super conservative style of dress and taken the advice of my dating gurus.  Patti Stanger of Millionaire Matchmaker, Matt and Tamsen Fadal Titus (Matched in Manhattan) NYC Love Consultants, Steve & Joanne Ward of Tough Love, Patti Novak of Confessions of a Matchmaker, What Not To Do dating show and chatting with friends who are married/dating.

So accepted that I need to wear makeup, color on my lips (to show off my great smile), got Lasik (so everyone can see my glorious big brown eyes), wearing cute clothes that show off my assets (cleavage, small waist) and styling my hair.  It's working!  I notice men have started to approach and flirt with me.   AND they are guys I'm interested in speaking with and dating! 

I've learned to like myself as I am and not putting my life on 'hold' till I get more 'perfect).  I know that right now I look really good.  I'm getting closer to getting to my ideal dating weight and am pretty cute too! 

Makeup with L'Oreal HiP Line

Well I am trying to upload my work makeup for the month of June.  I'm attaching my videos for the first week and they are a bit rough but as time goes on the production value will increase exponentially.

Shea Moisture hair products

I decided to wash my hair Thursday and do something different with my hair.  I did a deep conditioner with the anti hair breakage deep conditioner and than rinsed my hair with cold water.  I than used the hair strenghter oil in my scalp, divided my hair into sections where I put in the hair milk and curling pudding into each section before doing a two strand twist.

I wore my hair in twists on Friday and than took them out on Saturday since I don't like how my hair looks like in twists.  I just don't have enough hair for it to look cool instead it really emphasizes how my hair is pretty thin.  But that's why I went natural to make my hair appear thicker.  See the photos of my hair ...

I got to try the MAC Cosmetics Surf,Baby! in Santa Monica

I was in Santa Monica this afternoon enjoying the beautiful Los Angeles weather (sun, cool breezes) and friendly people on the promenade.  When I saw that MAC had a huge display to kick off their new summer line called Surf,Baby!

I got a cool makeup artist from Chicago who had FABOLOUS natural curls who was so fun and cool.  She asked what feature I wanted to have pop and I said my big brown eyes!  I left my eyes in her capable hands and she did an excellent job.

What she used was the black gel eyeliner on my top eyelash line, (on my lower lash line she used) the Surf, Baby! Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Blue Noon & Eye Shadow Surf USA (Frost).  On my lips was the Lipglass in Good Lovin (light pink).  It was a cool

Had dinner after being semi good all day

Well as you saw from my earlier post I pretty much stayed on target today with my diet.  I did have a snack of microwave popcorn instead of the ice cream bar that I wanted to eat.  I'm sooo good!


I just had my dinner from Freshology of BBQ Beef (nice and tender with sweet tangy sauce) with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and veggies (corn, squash, lima beans, onion, bell pepper) with ice tea.  All of that food for only 380 calories!  AND I get to have a tiny desert which is how I was able to resist the siren call of haagan daaz milk chocolate ice cream bar!

So this is the second day of my being on my freshology diet and am feeling good about my healthy journey.  I've been better about knowing what was are portions and have been putting thought into my grocery shopping.  I think I'll be done with the program the first week of June so need to start thinking about my meal plans.  I need to start looking for a low calorie recipe book.  Something that will make my shopping easy with the recipes and a list.

Tofu for dinner ..

I had a really good dinner last night of Asian Style BBQ Tofu with Red Quinos.  It was tasty, filling and visually pleasing.  The sauce was tangy and sweet!  A very nice dinner that left me happy!

I have tried Tofu Cheesecake

I have finally reached my limit for Tofu Love!  It's the cheesecake!  It was ok and had a nice creamy texture and LOOKED like cheesecake but wasn't the same.  I do have to say it satisfied my sweet craving since I didn't want to eat anything else till the next day!

So have been a bit remiss in my diet blogging

So I am back on my Freshology Diet which is working wonders.  I'm losing weight, feeling satiated and really enjoying the diverse offerings.  My plan is to keep a journal with photos of the portions so I can replicate them once I'm back to eating my own cooking!

So for breakfast I had the Whole Wheat Pancakes with Whole Wheat Pancakes w/Mango Passion Fruit Coulis (fruit topping sort of chunky to add a zing of flavor) and at only 350 calories we CAN have pancakes just 2 silver dollar size!! lol As opposed to the big as plates smothered in butter and real maple syrup that I treat myself with at the Griddle on Sunset (BEST pancakes EVER).  Next time I'll get the one pancake and split it in four pieces!

My lunch was really filling and satisfying too.  It was the BBQ Chicken Quesidilla with Mango Salsa.  The trick is that they used a wheat tortilla (very tasty) and had a little Jack Cheese (strong taste so you can get away with a little).  Phew was scared I could never have my beloved burritos again but will have to practice portion control and of course skip the sour cream!


I've attached photos of my food frozen and heated so you can see what the portions look like.  I hope that your enjoying my diet journey and will be with me when in June I start to cook my own food.  Hmmm does Freshology have a cookbook????

Jumping the Broom

I saw the new movie Jumping the Broom tonight and thought it was amusing.  It's an OK movie with a good cast that is a bit predictable but did offer a few laugh.  They had some great one liners all about how black people's foibles.

Am LOVING Shea Moisture Product Line for my curly hair!

I bought a ton of shea moisture products when Walgreens had the intro BOGO offer.  I usually do a mini rinse in the morning with the Anti-Breakage Hair Masque Yucca & Baobab as I take a shower.  I rinse it out and leave my hair dripping wet to begin my styling routine.  First of all I spray my hair with reconstructive elixer (roots & hair), than I take the together the restorative conditioners (thicken hair & orig) and blend them to smooth through my hair.  Just a pump from each bottle.  I also take a small finger full of the happy to have curl enhancing smoothie to define my curls & keep it from frizzing up.  I finish up with a glycerin gel to seal in the moisture and allow it to dry naturally.  It leaves my hair so soft and curly.  It LOOKS great and I'm really happy to have discovered this line.  I'm happy to be using a small business owned by POC that uses nautural ingrediants AND is so moderately priced!  I find that walgreens carries more of the products but charges $3 more than Target.  I will next talk about the body products once I pick them up in the next week or so.

As you can see from my photos my hair looks super shiny, the curls are defined and NOT frizzy!!

My new product routine that I'm using daily.  I'm SOOO happy that the weather is warm enough to leave the apt wet and can dry in the sun.
