I Miss Rachel
The first thing I put up on my freshly painted bedroom wall when I moved in, was a square piece of art with the word “kaboom” written on it in neon colors – and sparkles of course.
This little gem was a gift from my best friend and soul mate, Rachel, who moved away from Los Angeles to go live a normal and peaceful life — a non-actress life — Read the rest of this entry »
A Girl’s Essentials (part 1, hair)
So, as an actress, a blonde, a fashionista, a GIRL — I’ve obviously been on what feels like a life-long quest for the perfect beauty products. Ideally, good and expensive don’t have to go hand in hand, but I’ve spent an obscene amount of money to prove that to myself. And it’s true, some looks don’t have to cost $$$ to be fabulous.
There are a few times where you should just cough up the money and look at it as an investment. I mean, you really can’t put a price on perfectly imperfect hair, or a flawless “non-makeup” complexion that may in fact, involve 15 different products and a solid half hour of skillful application.
My vanity homework = your beauty resource
Remember your first time?
Everybody’s doing it.
They say it’s natural, it’s fun, they say “relax, just do it!” but all I can think is —
IT’S SO NOT ME.
Is it supposed to be this embarrassing and revealing? Am I supposed to feel this vulnerable and scared? There’s this tingling sensation, but I’m not sure it’s the right time for me. I’m not sure I’m ready.
What if I do it wrong?
What if I seem like a dork?
What if everyone talks about how bad I am at it?
What if I get stuck in the wrong place?
With all this build up and tension and exposure and risk and pressure and comparison and intimacy and doubt and revealing… I mean, c’mon, who can enjoy this?
And what goes where?
It’s like I’m seventeen.
And naked.
And it’s my first time.
I get it. I mean, I get that I have to get it. I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it, but other people have so much more experience getting it than I do, and they’ve already got it.
I’m only doing this for Josh, just so you know.
