Halloween 2011

Halloween has arrived, there's no turning back, the holidays are here!

BRING IT ON!

Had fun celebrating Mark's birthday with him.  We had dim sum in China Town then saw "Bring It On" at the Ahmanson.  Even though I had a killer cold I still had a good time.

Japanese Modern Art

At the Barnsdall Japanese Modern art show.

This was my favorite piece in the show.  Controversial to be sure....

Nancy's dress matched these paintings...

Lepidoctor Screening

At "The Lepidoctor" screening posing by the poster that Vince created for the film.  It came out gorgeous!

Vince with the Director and Editor

And the next day, my homage to butterflies...

Pumpkin Patch at Farmers Market

We met Richie, Nicole and Matt at the pumpkin patch celebration at Farmers Market.  So fun to see it through a kids eyes.

This old cowboy was playing guitar and got Matt dancing...

Children of the corn...

Later Matt showed us his muscles...

John Waters at USC

Vince took these photos of John Waters on campus for a screening of "Pink Flamingos."

John with his admirers

I love this quiet moment before the book signing.

Zuri in Red

We were in the backyard playing Scrabble and of course Zuri was hanging out with us.  I swear she was a human in a past life...

The HBO Party after the Emmys

It's so strange when you work in the entertainment business.  There's such a weird blur of reality mixed with made up.  The Emmys really brought that home for me when I was watching them the other night.


Here's a few examples:   Vince was getting ready to go photograph the HBO After Emmy party.  I was watching the Live Emmy broadcast on t.v.  As Vince swung his camera over his shoulder and was kissing me goodbye I could see on the t.v. that Martin Scorsese just won an Emmy for best director.  Vince came home with pictures that he took of Scorsese at the HBO party.  So the man blurred from fake (on t.v.) to reality - Vince was standing in the same room with him taking his picture...

Steve Buscemi and Stanley Tucci

Another example of blurring the line:  I've worked on a few t.v. shows with Seth MacFarlane and I always remember him as a funny, kinda nerdy but nice guy who loved to joke with everyone.  I have a lot of personal memories with him.  Then I watch him on t.v. at the Emmys and Vince comes home with these pictures of Seth:

Seth looks drunk.  And he's smoking!!!

Seth's date - she's smoking hot!  V. said she was the most gorgeous gal there.

Another Example:  A few months ago V. and I were having breakfast at our local spot.  I looked up and there's Adrian Grenier from "Entourage" talking with some guy who didn't have a clue who he was.  They were talking about a dog or something not entertainment related.  That night I watched Entourage on t.v.  Weird, he's in my hood eating breakfast then at night I'm watching him run Hollywood with his posse on Entourage.  Starting to see my point about how strange it is to live in Hollywood????

And my favorite....Kevin Dillon

I miss Entourage already!!!!  Hope Kevin's new show is good.

Here's a few more pictures of peeps that I like that were at the party.  If you want to see more celebrity shots go to Vince's blog at:  Vinphoto.blogspot.com

The Good Wife

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT" E. Peck Exhibit

Not many people could entice me to drive on the 5 freeway in bumper to bumper traffic for two hours to get to Oceanside but Everett didn't even have to ask.  We couldn't wait to see his show at the Oceanside Museum of Art.

It was well worth the drive....

With the (Duck) man that started it all

Helen Peck, Alysia Painter,  Me, Everett and Chris Painter

There was a great turnout to hear  Everett talk about his art

They recreated an office to exhibit some of Everett's t.v. show artwork.  I felt like it was a "this is your life" exhibit for me too since I've worked on two of his shows, "Duckman" and "Squirrel Boy"

Everett casting his magic spell on the audience.

I love this sassy assed Duck.

I first met Vince working on Duckman so it will always have a special place in my heart.

My Squirrel Boy compatriots, Chris and Alysia Painter.

Everett and Producer Michael C. Gross, who curated the show.

Squirrel Boy in the background, Duckman on the right - two of my favorite all time shows!
