Fundance

Curtis was offended I only said that I have a "boyfriend" in my last blog. So everyone, his name is Curtis:)

Anyway, I looove Sundance!! This year is different from last year because I haven't been able to do any celebs hair at PCTV, BUT i've been able to see a few outside!!!

Today was sooooo cool!!!!!! Can I just say how much I love going places with security where you have to show a badge to get in, and all the "regular" people outside try to look through the windows while I lounge on the couch inside watching the MTV interviews. Its the best thing ever. I went to the lounge I had the press pass for again with my mom, and guess who I freaking saw!!

Jake M. Johnson (Nick) from the show New Girl! (don't watch it, its bad) but I LOVE him!!! It was super random/awesome!!! 

Here's the pic I snapped. I was DYING!!!

I don't know why, but I'm kind of attracted to him (sorry Curtis) but he's like 5'8, so he doesn't really have a chance with me... anyway..

Then Curtis came up from Provo to hungout!!! Best part of the day:) 

We went to the lounge (because I got an extra Press Pass!! WHAT!) And sat around, no one cool came in, but thats ok because I beat him at air hockey...

These are called "bingbags"!!!

After the lounge we were going to meet up with my mom, so we took a bus to a place called "The Frontier" (By the way, during Sundance the bus services are FREE so everyone can get around Park City, it's so nice!) I swear the Frontier doesn't exist. We got off at Eccles Theater, which is actually at Park City High School because we thought we were on the wrong bus(all the stops are named after the theaters that show the films in Park City during Sundance, except for like Main Street) Then we found out by the volunteer at that stop that it really was the right bus, but the next bus would take us there too. So while we waited for the next bus we were talking with this volunteer (by the way there are about 1,800 people who volunteer at Sundance. My   mom is one of them!) and he actually shoots "What Not To Wear"!!! He told me he'd wished he knew me a week ago because they needed me! So now he has my card and cross your fingers you see me on an episode one day.

Curtis and I got on the next bus and rode it for seriously like 45 minutes. The Frontier was supposedly 6 minutes away, but the bus never made a stop by that name, so we just rode the bus around town and talked. It was fun:)

BY THE FREAKING WAY!!! BRADLY COOPER MIGHT BE COMING IN TO PCTV THIS WEEK!!! Cross your fingers he actually does!!!

Until next time (Probably Thursday) oh and sorry about all of these nice babies -> ( .....) I felt like there was a lot of info that needed to be shared in between sentences

Sundance 2012: The First Scoop

Quick Update (because my mom want me to): I moved to Provo, Utah in September, and got to work on an Adobe commercial and film for the Sci-Fi channel, went on a cruise, got a boyfriend, etc etc.

Anyway, Holy awesomeness!! Park City Television invited me back to Sundance this year to style the hair of their morning show hosts and guests who come in for interviews.(I don't know why, I probably wasn't even that good last year) I went into the station on Wednesday, the day before Sundance began, to check in and make sure my styling area was set up. I walked in and talked to the producer to make sure everything was squared away, when he told me that Will Ferrell was probably going to come onto the show on Friday!! I obviously freaked out and called my mom, sister, boyfriend, etc. because come on, Will Ferrell is amazing!!! We all kept our fingers crossed at the station hoping this awesome interview wouldn't fall through. (sometimes hot shots like Will Ferrell decide to just not come in). Friday rolled around and he didn't show:( Apparently he wasn't even coming into town until Monday, so lame! So that was a let down, but hey, its Sundance so who really cares! Thursday, Friday and Saturday passed, and I hadn't done hair for anyone famous, and hadn't seen any celebrities that I could put a name to, so I was a little bummed, when all the sudden an rep from Paul Mitchell came into the station to talk about their new men's line "Mitch"!  I styled her hair with my awesome display of Paul Mitchell product, and she was so excited when she saw what I was using.
After her interview she gave me product from the new men's line, along with a HUGE bottle of the  AH-MAZING Awapuhi Wild Ginger Treatment Oil (my fave).

Then she took her Paul Mitchell "Mitch" vest off her back and gave it to me. HOW AWESOME!!

 She then invited me to stop by a special lounge to check out the Mitch set-up they had. After I was done at Park City TV (PCTV) the producer took me with him and a camera crew to the lounge. It was very crowded and not everything was set up yet, and there were other sponsors there so were rude, so I was kind of bummed. It wasn't as cool as  I thought it'd be. Afterwards, we walked uphill in the blizzard (by the way today it is a huge snowstorm outside) up main street to our next location where we were going to an advertisement for Patron (yes, that's vodka. John Paul from Paul Mitchell owns the company). We got to this new lounge and it was wayy better than the last. AND they had mini cupcakes which was awesome. The girl did her segment on how to make some alcoholic drink (sick), then we packed everything up and walked back down main street, in the blizzard, carrying equipment. This next location, we needed a press pass for, so I was thinking i'd have to wait outside, but then they called me up to get a PRESS PASS!!

If you need a press pass to get into something at Sundance, there is obviously something important going on inside. We go inside and I don't see anyone famous. Bummer, but I was still stoked I had this press pass!! Then all of the sudden I look over to see Kate Bosworth sitting down with MTV in an interview. (She starred in Blue Crush and was Orlando Blooms ex on-again off-again girl-friend).

 So I snuck a picture of course.

 After her interview she was standing next to me in her cute black jacket and adorable shoes. I thought I was so cool. There were some other people you recognize in the lounge, but can't put the name to the face. So I was super excited about that, and just wanted to stay there all day. They had free flavored water drinks, a Puma shirt maker where you pick  what print you want on the shirt, then they made it right in front of you! But, the crew finished filming the segment and we went to another location, which also needed a press badge:) We walk in and guess who I see.. Angela from the Office!! She was literally right in front of me. I smiled at her and she looked at me... awkward. She was TINY!! I think like 5'0, and super bubbly, unlike her character. That was so cool, I LOVE the office.

Then I saw other people who I just couldn't think of what they acted in. After they were done filming another segment, I took a stroll around the room, and guess who I saw.. freaking Kris Keller from ONE TREE HILL!!!!!!

That used to be my favorite show ever so I was in heaven. The ONLY bad thing about having a press badge is that you have to be "professional" and shouldn't take pictures with the celebs.. screw that! But I stayed professional, dang it. He couldn't tell that I was freaking out inside. I'm so cool.

So that's what's up at Sundance! If I ever want to see something cool it has to be during the day because I get up at 4am and go to bed early, but there is a lot of good going on during the day:)

EXTRA EXTRA! I SAW NICK JONAS!!

And the day has FINALLY arrived!!
After being in Los Angeles for 4 months now, I have seen Nick!!

But First, My hair disaster story!!!

So it has been about an month and a half since I had Abby do my hair, so the grow-out was pretty out of control. I was more then ready for Abby to re-touch my hair, which wasn't completely all the way blond, it had blond highlights. Abby wasn't in the mood to do the re-touch when I was, so I was impatient, and an idot, and decided to do it myself. After doing some of the front, I realized this had already become a huge disaster, and had to call Abby over to finish it before she had to go to work, leaving the finished product trashy platinum blond...

After it was rinsed out and dryed, sent this to Abby (she was at work by now) to show her what we had done.
DO NOT WORRY, low-light will be happeneing SOON!!!!

Here's the BETTER story:

On Sunday afternoon, I was on facebook and noticed that Nick Jonas posted that he'd be at The Grove (a popular shopping center in LA) being interviewed on the E! network show, Extra at 2pm Monday!! I was scheduled to work from 1-7 on Monday! What the heck! I began texting everyone I could from work, asking them to cover part of my shift, and offering $20. I literally contacted 10 people and no one could/would do it. I was so bummed, Sunday was almost over, and the next day, I was going to miss my chance to see my favorite celebrity of all time. Close to midnight, I texted one girl from work (who earlier told me she couldn't cover my shift because she had something to do at 3) and offered her $40 to cover my shift from 1-3, then i fell asleep, heartbroken. Monday morning, about an hour after I woke up she texted back saying she'd cover for me!!! You could imagine my excitment!!!!!!! I got ready really fast, super bummed that my hair was ugly platinum, and put on an oversized white shirt with a brown skinny belt, my cutest jeans (that makes my butt look awesome by the way) and awesome shoes. I was on my way by 9:30.

I got to the grove a little before 10, I decieded to get there early to quickly shop for something cute to wear, when unfortunatley I saw a few Nick Jonas fans lining up at the Extra stage. I joined them. Shortly after, a blond lady who works for the show asked if anyone loved the Bachelorette.
LUCKILY for me, just 2 days earlier after reading an article in PEOPLE magazing about the show, i decided to watch the first 3 episodes on Hulu, so I knew everything about the season!
 I raised my hand quickly and the lady pulled me to the front asking me if I thought Bentley should go on a spin-off show called the Bachelor Pad. She liked my response. When Mario Lopez (the host of Extra) came out, the lady had me join him and he asked me the same question on camera. He was super nice to me, and not so nice to the director. He had a little attitude.

After he asked me the question I talked to the director and asked if I could ask Nick Jonas a question during the interview, and he told me I could!! I was going to meet Nick Jonas!!!
Nick wasn't coming for about 3 more hours, so in the meantime we watched as Mario filmed for Extra. Basically it was him on a small platform with me and a bunch of other girls (who were also there to see Nick) behind him. It was fun watching him do different takes. In one take he would say
"Hello New York! Tonight on Extra....
Hello Texas! Tonight, on Extra...
"West Coast! Tonight on Extra.."
and so on, then he'd do ones like

"here's Adam"
"Here's Michelle"
"here's .. and it would be another host, he just repeats the same things with another name. Thats what you see on the show before it goes to a clip, or another person talking. While we were there, he changed shirts like 3 times, because they were filming clips of him telling bits of "breaking news" for a few different shows.

My 15 seconds of fame aired last night on Extra, but I will be in several other clips on the show for the next couple of weeks standing behind him!

I was literally less than a foot behind him the entire time

Mario talking to the camera crew inbetween takes

When Nick Jonas finally showed up, girls went crazy of course, and I was pushed into the second row, but was still only about 4ft from him during his interview.

 He looked amazing, 10,000,000 times better in person!!!  All of the sudden girls who were in a small line near the cameras started going up and asking him their questions. That's when I realized I was in the wrong place!! I tried to get out of the crowd (which was almost impossible because crazy fans were cramming together trying to get closer) by the time I got out of the crowd and got someone's attention on the set, they told me the question/aswer segment was over :( and wouldn't let me ask my question (which would have been "can i do your hair") i was soooo bummed!! And I was already running late to get to work to finish my shift that was being partially covered. I was sooo happy I got to be there for a little bit during his interview though, dream come true!! Oh, and did I mention that he touched my hand when he reached out into the crowd?



"me and Nick" Ok, he looks EXTREMELY good looking here. Look at those eyebrows!



One bummer thing, is that he confirmed dating this 26 Australian singer he's been working with:(
Good news: he likes older women!! ;)
Conerts: 5
Meetings:2
Hugs: 2
Hand Touch: 2
Super up-close interviews: 1
On National TV during Jonas events: 2
Good stats so far<3

So Many Good Things, So Little Time

HOLY COW!! The past 2 weeks have been amazing!! Let's start with my family coming into town!!

For Mother's Day, my mom came into town so we could go to the Ellen show, but sadly our standby tickets didn't get us in, so we have gauranteed tickets for next season!! Luckily, we got to go the X Factor, which is Simon Cowell's new show. That was amazing. I love Simon Cowell now!! The taping was about 5 hours long, but we got to watch about 15 auditions. It was interesting to see how they really go. Most performers sing more then one song. The judges like to hear their voice with and without music. It airs im September, watch for it!

Jennifer, Deven, and Porter came to Cali too! We spent Mother's day at my great Aunts house in Laguna Beach. We had brunch with my 100.5 year old grandma, and my great cousin, so much fun:)

So cute. She was reading to him, and he was loving it. 99 years apart, don't see that everyday

  Next, some pictures from that photo shoot from last month!

 Photographer: Lindsey Boice  Model: Bekka Gunther. Make-up: Roxy Davis. Stylist: Nillie De Grakovac

So one of the perks of working in a super rich area, is that your client's social events include celebrities, and amazing bands, such as WEEZER!!!! The difference between Pre-School benefits in the Palisades and ones in Washington, is 1: You're not trying to raise $12,000 for a scholarship for 1 child to attend your pre-school, and 2: River from Weezer isn't the Dad of one of the pre-schoolers! My guest was telling me about this pre-school event she was in charge of and told me about Weezer and invited me to come!!!! So I brought Abby, and we were right at the stage the whole time, listening to amazing hits, then got to meet them afterwards!!!

Setlist<3

 If this wasn't cool enough, I got to cross off one of the guys from my "Hollywood Guys I HAVE To Meet While I Live Here" list. Drum roll please... Mr. MARK BALLAS!! He's my favorite dancer from Dancing With The Stars



Mark performed at The Mint in LA on Monday night. A girl, Kylee, from my ward was also performing, so a ton of people from church went to support her, and she was great! Mark was amazing too! He has such a good voice!! I was suprised. Although, I was very disappointed in his songs and language. A little to dirty for me, but it was still an awesome show. Afterwards I got to meet him again (i got to say hi before the show) and get a picture with him. And can you guess where he put his hand for our picture? Yes, he slowly placed it from my lower back to my butt. naughty naughty. The day before the show, I was planning out what was going to happen when i met him the next day, and I thought, My hair is similar to his dancing partern's, Chelsea Kane, so when he see's me, he'll point that out and offer to introduce me to her! She was on the show JONAS, so when i meet her i'll tell her about my dream to do Nick's hair, and she'll hook it up! Sadly, she wasn't there, but I did have several people come up to me afterwards telling me they thought I was her! Plan almost worked.



 Mark if you were a foot taller and didn't have such a dirty mouth, we could be married right now.





Mark getting ready to sing



Jenessa, Kylee, Chealsie, and Mark after the show <3

Next fun thing: Dodger game tomorrow night VS the Giants!!

Then: Skydiving!!!! Thank you GROUPON for having skydiving half off!!!

Gotta love LA<3

PS. did anyone see Soul Surfer?? Besides the poor acting and the obvious  low budget quality of the film, i loved it! Did anyone notice a certain Peter Pan in the movie? Jeremy Sumpter made a few appearances!! Once, a hearthrop, now, guy with a lisp and voice that has yet to change. sad days. Still love you in Peter Pan though;)





WORK!

So much is going on right now!!
Lets start with my new job!! I work at the Drybar, which is a style salon where we do blowouts only, so no cuts or colors. Its located in a super rich area, so tips are amazing$$! The other day I washed Tobey Maguire's wife's hair!

Other regulars include Zooey Deschanel and Stephanie Pratt. The other day Matt Damon's wife came in too!

Another reason why this job is number 1, is because I get to work with the one and only, Abigail, my California BFF. Its awesome

Last week I got to work on a film called "the Sifters" doing hair and make-up

After the movie wrapped, I had a photoshoot!! Lindsey Boice was the photographer, and was sooo amazing!! Bekka Gunther was the model, and was so funny, and great at what she does. Her shots were all stunning!!! Make-up was by Roxy Davis and Wardrobe by Nillie Di Grakovac

I can't wait to get the shots back!

Its a nice, hot day in California:)
