I hate self promotion
But, I guess part of this job is letting other people know what I'm doing. I barely know who reads this (leave a comment if you like, anonymous is fine, I'm genuinely curious if anyone is reading this beside the regulars + people I know IRL) and it is kind of embarassing to have the last post up be a semi-depressing review of a sad television show.
Anyway, let's try to be "professonal" (LOL) and do that thing Real Internet Writers do when they write stuff. Besides all the gossiping I do over at BravoFan, I'm also writing a new b5media blog about celebrity kids called CelebTots. This is a strange blog for me to write, because I hate the whole "baby bump" nonsense, but I'm trying to give it a voice that is my own. I have no clue how to really do outreach for this particular blog, so I'll figure that out. BravoFan's built up a small community because I was able to really write in-depth about some stuff most of the blogs were just lightly glossing over.
What else? I've been offered a part-time job, also writing about television (kind of) but it's with a major corporation and some of the red tape is taking a little bit of time. It'll be a huge relief to have much more consistent income, and doing something that is relevant to all the other stuff I am doing. I love writing about the Internet, but writing about TV is my home. I'm sometimes conflicted about the things that I'm doing, that's it not good enough, that it's not important, especially in the face of so many other people I know who are doing so many cool, creative things. But I do need to remember that it's all a process, and that this will lead to other things.
I wrote a review of SLC Punk for the blog Filmosophy. I went to the MTV Video Music Awards Red Carpet and interviewed some people for another b5media blog, popmusicscene. That was insane and surreal. I met a former TMZ paparazzi dude who was fascinating to talk to (he went on the up and up with one of the big image sites) and my spot on the carpet was smooshed between girls from a teenybopper mag and some guys doing video. That could be a whole other entry, so I'm not going to get derailed. I went to my very first fashion show and wrote about that for bitchbuzz.
Tomorrow night (or I guess tonight) I am doing an Ignite talk. It should be...interesting. I just hope people "get it." It's about the Real Housewives and the lessons I've learned from them. So you know, it is a big fucking joke. This Saturday I am going to the vegan cooking competition, Veggie Conquest, and will be covering them for Vegansaurus. I'm also writing the weekly Top Chef recaps over there.
That's all the action I got for you today. Before I leave you again, I'll give you this gift. I first saw this video last year, and it came back into my life when the woman in it, Beth Crosby, e-mailed me on BravoFan with a link to her Rachel Zoe Project parody video. I poked around her profile and found that same video again, of these two ridiculous Hollywood fauxsalites. I'd love to do something like this with the NYC fauxsalites. Time to go read a bunch of GuestofAGuest for character inspiration!
And now, I give you...Jessica and Hunter:
