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:(
