I figured I should write about my trip to LA. Even though it’s been over a week since I have been back now. You all already know about the traffic I encountered coming back to Arizona. So I can leave that part out.

I arrived in LA on March 23rd, which was a Monday. I was really excited to get there because I was going to stay with my friend Poppy Morgan who I hadn’t seen in about 3 years. So after my 5 hour drive I got there, and of course Poppy was no where to be found… She was out walking or something lol. When she got there she ran up to me yelling, and smiling with happiness and gave me a BIG hug. I was so excited to see her. She was very influential to the beginning of my career. I remember when she had to leave to go back to England I was very sad. But now she’s here for good, as far as I know.

On Tuesday I woke up early because I had a casting call for this Skinimax show. So my friend came over to do my makeup so I was sure to look good for the casting. By the time my makeup was done, my agent was there to pick me up. He picked me up we had to pick up another girl Misty Stone I think her name was. She was a cute newer chick, very spunky for sure. Anywho we finally got to the casting call. Let me tell you it was pretty funny in a way. First the waiting room was literally the size of a shoebox. I mean there must’ve been about 15 people stuffed in a 10×8 room, ad people just kept coming and coming. Thankfully they got people in and out of there quickly. Although the funniest things of begin there had to have been this one blond she had acne all over the side of her face, looked like she had been up all night, and may I add she did not look a thing like her head shot. Ok well she keep reading her line into the mirror and the way she was doing it was absolutely hilarious. Second funniest thing was the one girl who had absolutely NO CLUE she was doing a casting for a late night skinimax show. The girl didn’t even know what Cinimax was…. We had to tell her the names of some late night shows so she could look them up… Odd huh? Isn’t your agent supposed to inform you of these things before they send you on a casting?

Wednesday I had to go over to Vivid. Apparently they wanted to see which girls could read lines or not. So they gave me a script and I read it the best I could. It was cool, I had fun going over there, at least they got to see that I lost all my weight and know I am back now. I got to see Shylar too, he’s a really cool guy. I always had fun working for PT and him. (https://www.creativesystems.com/) Hopefully you all will be seeing me in more Vivid movies soon.

Thursday I had feature dance practice class with Lexi Lamour. That was fun. It was like being in Jazz class all over again. But she gave me some really good pointers. So I am stoked to get on the road. My first feature since my comeback starts this Tuesday at T’s Lounge in West Palm Beach, FL.

Finally it was Friday and I did my first boy / girl scene back. I shot the scene with Otto Buar, directed by Christian for Naughty America. The scene was great I had a ton of fun. I got to play a DJ… Which I already am, but they had me pretend I was djing a kid’s party. Something you’ll never catch me doing lol. After the scene I drove home to Arizona and you know the rest about the traffic….
