Electronically Challenged...

So, sorry that it's been a while since I've blogged. I've just been having too much fun out here on tour. Actually, I've been too busy travelling from city to city and doing shows all the time to sit and write anything.

But, here I am between shows, and we're all on our laptops since the hotel doesn't have internet, so I decided to write a little blog.

And, speaking of computers and such, we had quite the week with electronics. It all started with us trying to watch Mean Girls. Well, it was a foreign DVD, so we'd have to change the settings on our computer. Well, we put it in Brad's computer, but her didn't want to change the settings. Then we tried mine. I didn't want to change the settings either, so I tried to eject the DVD, and it gets stuck in my disc drive. Well, I finally get it out. But Brad tries to watch another DVD, and his computer won't read an DVD's. Well, after a few hours of rese

arch, he got everything to work again.

Then, a few days after that, we go to the gym. While Andrea is on the treadmill, she drops her iPod and accidentally kicks it INTO the treadmill. We had to get some gym personnel to take apart the treadmill and get her iPod out.

Now, Brad's been having trouble with this new internet modem he bought for his computer, and he thinks that he might have a virus on his computer, too. 

So, besides all that, we've been having a ball out here. Just doing shows and trying to do some 

sightseeing along the way.

A white light...

Well, after an overnight bus trip and a smoking room, our week in Sevilla was not starting off well. Then there was a white light....

Yah, that's right! Heaven! 

And this heaven has a Starbucks and a TGI Fridays! Oh the little things that make us happy! It was a good day! :)

Damn Rudolph!

So, thanks to all the sweating, stage make-up, and character heads that I dealt with the past 3 weeks, I've been blessed with one of these beauties.

Yah, that's right! I got a zit on the tip of my nose. It's starting to heal, but my nose is still all red. So, I kinda resemble this guy ...

Damn.

Leaving Las Palmas...

Well, it's time to pack our bags and get this tour on the road ... literally! We're leaving Las Palmas tomorrow and heading to Malaga. After 3 weeks here, I'm looking forward to being in a different city and see some different things. 

Las Palmas was a fun place. We found some good restaurants, some cute clothes, and a nice beach. We had some great crowds at the shows - although the venue was CRAZY hot, and the cast felt like they were melting the whole time. Our locals were really great, and I'll miss them next week when some new person is trying to get me into my costume.

So, here's to Las Palmas - it was fun, but it's time to hit the road!

Hello again from Las Palmas!

Hello again from Las Palmas! We've been doing just fine out here. We opened Thursday to a great crowd, and the crowds were great all weekend! The audiences here are really responsive and it's been great. We've been working hard, getting the show back on its feet after our summer off, but it's looking great!

Here's a pic from a little get-together that we had after our opening night. Brad made us shirts that said "Illusionist Assistant - Off Duty!" - so we all wore them down to the hotel bar. Cute huh? 

Besides that, we've pretty much just been doing shows, going to the gym, eating and sleeping! We found a cute little Japanese place called Zen and some other cute places to eat. We spent a little time at the pool yesterday, but for the most part ... nothing too exciting.

Today we start back up with shows and that'll keep us pretty busy for the week. Then we head to mainland Spain - and who knows what's in store! 

Well, hope everyone back home is doing well! Much love!

One week down ....

Well, as you can see, we made it safely to the Canary Islands! Once we got here, we jumped straight into rehearsals - teaching some new people the show, training some people in new roles, and giving the rest of us a brush up on all that we've forgotten over the summer.

Rehearsals went well, with the expected mistakes, and our first run back in costume was a TRAGEDY! But, that's why we have a bunch more runs before we open! ;)

So, today was our first day off, so we all headed down to the beach. Well, the beach was quite the adventure. It was hot as all hell out there, so we got umbrellas and chairs and set up camp. 

Well, in fine European fashion, ladies were topless ALL OVER the place. And why do people who SHOULDN'T be going around topless let it all hang out? Well, if that wasn't enough, Brad and I took a walk down to the nude section of the beach. EEK! I think we are both going to have bad dreams tonight.

As usual, I got a little burnt, and I think that everyone who went got a little color. But it's back to the grind tomorrow! 

Hola Las Palmas!

Hey everyone! Well, after MANY MANY hours of traveling - I made it to Spain! I left Louisiana a day early to beat the hurricane, and then the rest of the trip was chock full of layovers and waiting.  That picture pretty much sums up that travel day - or days! 

But, we're here, and things are ok. The hotel is kinda tiny, and the food is expensive.  But, we here, and we'll make the best of it. 

Well, that's about it for now. We start rehearsals this afternoon, so I might try to grab some time by the pool first! I hope everyone at home in Louisiana is ok and safe, and talk to you all soon!

Saying goodbye ... again.

So, here I am, starting up the blog again for what it was made for in the first place.

That's right kids, I'm headed BACK on tour. I did the short stint in the spring, but now I'm headed for about 7 or 8 months in Europe with Disney Live! 

I'm excited to see Europe and join my magic family again. I'm looking forward to being with Brad that whole time, and have him there to experience everything.

But it's not a totally happy goodbye.

I'm sure everyone knows that there is a huge ugly hurricane headed straight for Louisiana. Well, it's headed straight for my hometown. I had to leave town a day early to beat it. 

I didn't get to give everyone a proper goodbye. Everyone was running around, worrying more on getting me OUT of town. 

I just want to let all my friends back there that I love them, and I'll miss them. But,  as always, I'll be back to visit  - and I'm sure they'll be there at the bar to join me for a drink.

To my family - I'll miss you guys terribly. It wasn't til I was driving away did I realize that I won't see you guys for a few months. I love you guys, and I'll be thinking about you guys all the time.

And to everyone - I'm watching that hurricane. I'm worried about all of you, so keep me in the loop as to what's going on!

Love everyone, and goodbye for now!

Shutting it down!

 So, I watch lots of Bravo TV.

And they have a new show - The Rachel Zoe Project. Well, this bitch is hilarious! She is a crazy fashion diva stylist and she has the craziest phrases like -

"You're shutting it down."

"It's bananas."

"I die"

"It's amaaaazing"

She's shutting it down! :)

MAC ... and cheese!

So, I am totally lovin' my new Mac! It's so cute. It's so fast. It's awesome.

There are still some things that I don't know how to do, but I'll wait until I get on tour, and have all the other Mac users show me how to use it! :)

And as for the cheese ... Photobooth is too much fun. It's great to take silly pictures of yourself. 

:)

More new things!!!!

Oh yah! Project Runway 5 starts tonight! And I'll be at work. Boo!

Thank god for Tivo!

An apple a day...

Oh yah!

I'm getting one of these! My old computer has been suffering for a while now, and the other night it told me it was tme to let it rest. The battery barely holds a charge, so it's been living off of the power cord forever. Well, the power cord was starting to die, and the other night it sparked and smoked a bit. Yah - time to die.

So, I made a deal with my parents, and they are helping me to get a lovely Macbook! I've heard nothing but great things about Macs, so I'm hoping that this will be a lovely relationship.

I can't wait! :)

A&F?

Ok, so I need a second job. The Hilton is a cool job, but I'm not making as much as I thought I would be making. And after my excursion to NJ, the bank account is a little on the low side.

So, I have a friend who works at Abercrombie and Fitch, and he said that I should go apply.

So I did. We'll hear the news on Saturday - will I get to be a hot bitchy A&F queen? Oh I hope so!

Until then ... enjoy these!

UPDATE: I got the job! I go in for orientation Sunday!

HAPPY 4TH!!!

Gym bunnies...

So, I'm here in NJ visitng the boyfriend, and I'm having a ball!

We've been going to the gym a bunch. See - he got me going to the gym when we were on tour, and I was doing a little working out while I was at home. Well, he got me a week membership to Bally's and we've been hitting the gym while I'm here!

Well, it's been lots of fun seeing the cast of characters that Brad would always text and tell me about. We also had a training session with a friend of his who is a personal trainer. It was pretty intense, but I DEFINATELY felt it the next day, and gave us some new workout ideas.

Now, speaking of trainers and new workout ideas, there is this one trainer ... and he's HOT! He looks like he stepped out of a Sean Cody video. Well, he seems to always be there when we go, and the past few times he's been working out before his shift in a wife beater. YUM! And a double YUM from Brad! He kinda looks like this guy...

Oh the gym...

Ain't no other what?

I love this video! It cracks me up!

Baggage Claim

So, yesterday I flew up to NJ to see my boyfriend Brad. I'm up here for the week, and I'm so glad to be up here! It's a week little vacation with my boy -PLUS- he's about 20 min from NYC -PLUS- it's NYCPride this weekend! FUN TIMES!

Now, one thing that is NOT fun times is baggage claim. First of all, I always worry that my bag will not come around on the the carousel. It's happened a few times, so I always get a little nervous.

But what REALLY pisses me off is all the other people getting their bags. I usually try to get a place where there are not too many people standing cause I don't want to whack someone with my heavy bag, and it's easier to get to my bag when it comes around. So why do people always come RIGHT next to me? Can't you see I'm standing here? Don't you know that I'm going to hit you with my bag trying to get it off of the carousel?

Then, I also hate the people that have NO idea what their bags look like. They have to check EVERY bag - pick it up, turn it over, read the tags - and then realize that it is not theirs. This usually causes them to move a few feet around the carousel, bumping into people - and most of the time, they miss their ACTUAL bag in the process.

So, now that that's off my chest, back to enjoying my time with Brad! :)

Oh God! Oh God! OH GOD!!!!

Alright. Has anyone else seen this? Yah, it's a Jesus dildo! I don't even know what to say about it. I'm speechless.

And here's the baby Jesus butt plug!
