I'MMA TEEN MOM

I wrote, co-directed, produced and edited a rap song and video. No big deal.

I'MMA TEEN MOM

It took me two years to write this. 

It took one month to record.

It took hours and hours of digging through thrifts to find perfectly nasty outfits fit for a teen mom.

It's taking one more month to shoot.

And on my birthday, I'm going to unleash it to the cyberworld.

Here is the song and a few stills from a scene I shot last week.

And producer Irving Artero and I (w)rapping at the studio.

NOT FOREVER ALONE

Anyone who really knows me knows that I am the biggest fan of Breakfast At Tiffany's. Ever. Period. It started with the eyebrows, then I had to have the bathtub couch (thanks, dad). Then the little black dress. Then the trench coat. The sunglasses. The swirly black iron bed frame. The suitcase and crate coffee table. The 3 mirrored vanity atop a giant wooden shipping box. The bird cage. The zebra rug. Little black crocodile shoes and a patent leather handbag. Today, I bought something I never thought I'd find ever and I'm really nerdily excited about it. For six years, every thrift store trip or estate sale or vintage store visit, I have looked and looked for this, I bought a number of different bags that sort of looked like it but not really, and finally, I found the exact bag from the movie on eBay. And I bought it and it's going to come to my door and my life is going to be complete because of a material object.

LES MISERABLES HANGOVER

So, I saw Les Miserables in early January (I loved it) and I had a really dumb idea to change all the words of the very serious and dramatic song, I Dreamed a Dream, to fart-knockery lyrics about a hangover and a drunken encounter.

I made it a duet, found the amazing Victor Mazzone to sing with me, and commissioned mister Tyler Hamman (who had better work with me again or else) to direct this shiz.

It's very cool for a thought that was in my brain a month ago to turn into something that exists outside of my brains. So very cool! I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Definitely need to start filming more often.

Introducing, Les Miserables Hangover. Enjoy!

CURRY

Filming one of my projects tomorrow morning. It involves me singing and I'm a little nervous about it. 

I want to sleep for a thousand years.
