Weekly Wrap

OMGosh, I am so behind!!  It's all good though, I am going to make sure I am caught up with everything before I go to bed.  Doing the Sprinkles shoots take so much time and effort.  Totally worth it though!!  Tomorrow I will write my Shoot Promo Shelly column so be on the look out for that :) 


On Saturday we shot a scene where our actor was required to wear special effects make up!!  The make up artist did such a wonderful job!!  I look forward to working with her again.  Danielle and I def have some cool ideas for shoot :)  Anywho, it was a bittersweet day.  As I said, the make up looked great but we had to head out to Malibu for this shoot.  I was not shooting so the pressure wasn't so bad but when we all piled in the car to drive over an hour away I got sooooo car sick :(  When I get car sick it is very hard to shake it off, my tummy is very sensitive.  Once we got there the weather was beautiful and the ocean air did me some good :)  I cannot wait to share with all of you the end product-shoot, I can't wait to see it myself.  After the shoot Vinny took Danielle and I to our fav sushi place.  My tummy sucked but I was feeling pretty, pretty, pretty good after a successful shoot day.

Sunday was a little more hectic.  We were supposed to be at the building at 930AM and didn't end up getting there until past 1030AM.  We had bought a ton of food and thought it would be a good idea to have a BBQ to feed the cast and crew.  Well, we did not have a BBQ grill and we thought it was be easy to buy one in the morning.  Now that summer has come and gone it is difficult to find a BBQ.  I ended up getting a propane grill, you know the kind for camping and such.  It worked out after all but boy was it stressful running around last min!!  Jess (ODB) was coming in from Vegas to shoot with us, I was totally nervous she wouldn't be on time.  Vegas is a bit of a drive but she ended up coming early so it totally worked out!!  I had so much fun shooting with one of my BFF's-too much fun!!  I will totally keep all of you posted on when more content is up for this episode.  After the shoot we came home and hung out a bit then off to bed we all went :)

This morning Danielle did Jess' make up for a shoot she has scheduled before leaving today.  Danielle always does such a great job!!  Around 9 this morning I took her to her shoot.  It was sooooooo cute!!  I am glad I could be there for some support :)  Today has been deemed the hottest day in LA's history.  I totally felt bad because I thought Vinny didn't have to work and I could use his car to take Jess everywhere she needed to go with some AC, the Camero does not have AC.  Sorry Jess!!  She was a good sport about it though.  After the shoot we picked up Danielle and went for sushi again :)  Weeeee, I sure made out this weekend!! As soon as Jess sends me pics I will post them :) We took some cute ones!!  After the sushi we took her to the airport, I really hope she moves here!!  Would be nice to have a female pal around for me and Danielle :) 

Well, that was my weekend.  I have tons to catch up on so stay tuned friends!!  PS it slipped my mind that we already had a theme for Fun Time Radio, SCAMS :)  TTYL xo Shelly

Weekly Wrap!!

OMGosh, what a week!!  So much to share with all of you :)  During the week Danielle and I were in charge of getting props and such for the Sprinkles shoot.  LOTS of leg work but totally worth it :)  Not to mention it feel so satisfying when you are forced to do all the BS stuff.  On Friday Vinny join Danielle and me for the last min prop making/buying.  We started the morning off by eating a great breakfast at Bob's Big Boy!!  The Big Boy is always a good time :)

After we ate we headed to Cinema Secrets which is a costume/special effects store.  Danielle and I couldn't help ourselves- we had to try on some fun masks!!

After we got all the stuff we needed we headed to Hollywood Blvd to get the outfits for the girls who were gonna play the villains :)  Our first stop was a place called Pig 'n Whistle. Here is a link for those interested in the history of Pig 'n Whistle :

Pig 'n Whistle info

We had a drink to start off the mood of the day :)  Danielle and I went to use the restroom and let me tell you, it is so fun to walk down the stair way and red curtains to the restroom :)

After we finished we headed out to find these outfits for the girls.  It wasn't too difficult to find what we needed.  It did take having to walk up and down the blvd but everything seemed to be going smoothly.  After all the Sprinkles shoots that have gone wrong this was such a relief.  After some time we had to use the restroom again.  Hey man, we drink lots of water!! :)  One thing that irks me about Hollywood Blvd is there are NO restrooms available.  Now, I do understand there are tons of homeless and they tend to do drugs in the public restrooms but there has got to be a middle ground :(  I had to use the restroom so bad that Vinny ended up having to get a few drinks so I could use a restaurants restroom.  So I guess in the end it works out :) Our friend Dominick joined us on our journey and when he said he was hungry I couldn't have been happier to go and eat again.  I was feeling very tired and my body was craving something nutritious.  We stopped by this restaurant called BOHO (I think) off Sunset Blvd.  It was soooooooo cute!!  I love the atmosphere there!!  I can't wait to go back.  After we ate it was time to go home and finish all the last min details for our shoot on Saturday.  Vinny stayed up all night making the cake I needed to pop out of :)

 On Saturday me, Vinny and one of the actors Lee headed to my old hood in the 909 while Danielle set up everything at the location we were gonna film at.  My old friend let us use his office when we shot the promo for Sprinkles and we realized we needed to use the parking lot.  We tried to contact him during the week but he never got back to us :( (BTW this hurts my pink feelings, I have no clue why he would ignore us- so sad to seemly loose one of the only friends I have in California) Well, we decided to just shoot there anyway.  No one bothered us, in fact we didn't see a soul while shooting.  I was nervous that we would get in trouble for not having permission.  After we shot we headed back to LA.  Danielle had everything set up wonderfully and though the shoot day was long it was so much fun!! 

Fred, Ethel and Ginger are in this episode!!  It was fun to have the animals on set with us.  Took off the stress of worrying about them :)  Sunday was our second shoot day.  Danielle and I got there before Vinny to open up in case anyone came early.  As I walked up I saw a girl who kinda looked familiar but I wasn't sure.  She was on her phone and seemed distracted with her phone convo so I thought, maybe I don't know her after all.  I thought for sure if she was with us she would've said something when she saw us.  I knew for sure she wasn't one of the girls we booked for the villains.  Then after passing her a few times she finally said "Hi Shelly, I guess you didn't recognize me I am the make up artist" then it hit me duh, she was the make up artist I met at Vinny's shoot almost two years ago when I first met him.  I haven't seen her since so I wasn't too familiar with her.  To make it worse when I first met her she was VERY negative to me.  After we set everything up she started to say how she couldn't believe how long Vinny and I have stayed together THEN started to be catty by talking about how I stole Vinny away from his "girlfriend" when I met him.  Vinny and I both were seeing casual other people.  Nothing serious until we met each other.  I thought it was totally in poor taste that she insisted in having a 10 mins convo with me about this other girl from 2 years ago-LAME!!  I guess sometimes first impressions are dead on.  I didn't let her negative energy get to me.  I enjoyed myself fully!!  I ended up in two GREAT conversations with some of the other actors that I feel, are what we are designed to do.  Meaningful convos

I will give even more details on this weeks Fun Time Radio- make sure to tune in Thursday @ 3PM PST!!  What a week!!  I am so behind but nothing I can catch up on by the end of the day!!  xo Shelly
