my guiltiest pleasure: reality shows

most people i know won’t admit to religiously watching reality shows, it’s like some dirty little secret that you don’t want anyone finding out. not me, i fucking love ‘em. there’s just something so intriguing about people that vie for love, money or airtime. why do i watch this shit? for the laughs and sometimes for the smokin’ hot chicks.

i give credit to the truly smart ones, those that are on tv to create their brand, to make themselves memorable so they either get their own show or get paid to make rounds on the club circuit or open the doors to be able to do whatever they want to do in the industry. milk it!

which brings me to my encounter with the lovely becky buckwild of flavor of love 2, i love money 2 and charm school fame. i’ve been following her on twitter and watched her romance with frank “the entertainer” maresca blossom and bomb… i was cheering for them because i wanted to see their own show. but i’m happier that she’s found someone better!

i don’t want to get into the specifics but i reached out to her and some direct messages later we got to meet up. pretty sweet deal if you ask me. so twitter, i thank you again! i thought becky & angelah were so awesome!!! they are both funny and full of life! they weren’t some conceited bitches lol

becky, angelah and i might be working on something in the future so if you are a fan, stay tuned!!!

instant gratification

twitter is insane. it reminds me of AOL 3.0 days when aol chatting was popular. most of the people i follow are longtime internet friends, porn stars, regular & reality show celebs… some celebs i’ve seen in a completely better light and some so-called celebs need to learn to shut the fuck up.

twitter has also proven to be a goldmine for me. it’s important to follow companies too. a few months back i won an obey x obama shirt and stickers from @thegiantpeach, got an autographed photo from porn star @enterbelladonna and just last week, i won $25 in vouchers from @ElPolloLocoInc ! and because friends RT (retweet) i got a coupon for a free candy bar from mars.

back to what i was saying about celebrities on twitter. the biggest celebrity FAIL is @officialTila : i used to think she annoyed just me with her ridiculousness but i kept seeing other people i follow talk shit about her too. she is so fucking full of herself. i get that she does stuff for charities but how many times do you have to pat yourself on the fucking back. bitch please. and while i could give a rat’s ass about @PerezHilton – she sure seems like she’s obsessed with him. every chance she gets to talk shit about him she’s on it, like some crazy hoodrat radar… when that shit popped off about him and will.i.am she was all over it, same with michael jackson. do us a favor and take a hiatus from twitter.

while following celebrities is sometimes awful and turns your brain into mush, there are some awesome times to be had like live free chats. i’ve watched dj muggs of cypress hill/soul assassins do a live set, ice-t talk about law & order svu, new stuff he’s been working on and show off his teen son who he affectionately calls lil’ iceberg AND just today, raekwon of the wu tang clan talked about having to push back only built for cuban links 2 to september 8th because of sample issues.

TOO MANY HOES. the britney spears edition.

for the most part i LOVE working concerts. i guess the technicals are a big part of it.  the venue changes the rules for the night, i like watching the set up and breakdown, checking out & trippin’ out on the tour rider, scoping out the tour passes and of course, the excitement of catching THEE star(s) of the night and other random star gazing.

britney spears was no exception.  even though i don’t care for her music, i was just as excited (maybe even more) to work the 2 nights she came into town.

my observations:

• our alcohol rules were strict, ID EVERYONE.  i made sure all my cashiers and bartenders understood this. but this didn’t stop rabid underage drinkers from trying.  it also didn’t stop old perves from trying to buy young ones drinks.  we did evict several girls, we don’t fuck around.
• the mix of fans was funny, cute and questionable.  lots of blondes, gays, young chicks and OLD people!
• lots of people dressed up. i honestly thought some were part of the show LMAO
• there were a few catfights but the ones i was amused with were the gay boys pissing off older women.  i had one lady who just kept complaining to me about a couple of gay guys.  she made it a point to say they were gay too lol
• most of the 2 nights were spent observing the crowd and let me just say that a kindergarten class has a higher IQ than most of the blondes in attendance.  i could not believe some of the questions asked and some of the convos overheard.
• the stage set up & environment was fabulous.  the pussycat dolls were awesome. the circus acts during intermission were cool. britney lipsynchs, oh well!
• britney brought in her own popcorn boxes & soda cups so that was pretty cool.  we didn’t have lids so we couldn’t serve them from our stands but i did see them at her souvenir stands for like $2.  they also had masks ($5) and other assorted stuff for cheap.

my sis called me saying she read that kim & khloe kardashian posted on twitter that they pulled up to my work so i ran downstairs hoping to see them and i had to head to the warehouse anyways so when i was leaving i did in fact run into them.  it was so funny.  just giving an example at how powerful (& scary) twitter can be!
