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 :

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
