Body Positivity, Aging Gracefully, and Making Changes

Getting Naked, Going Gray, and How To Get Out of a Rut

I recently did an fun interview with comedian Jason Hadley. I was super pleased with the interview because it was a spur of the moment thing so Jason didn’t have time to do research on me. Inevitably, when I have some sort of an interview, the interviewer does research, discovers that I did nudity 20 years ago and that’s all we talk about for the entire interview. And it gets really boring for me. I’ve been having the same conversation for two decades. Yes, I am comfortable with my body. I am so comfortable with my body, so accepting of what is, flaws and all – that I am willing to appear nude on film while performing as an actor. But I like to think that’s not the most interesting thing about me. I like to think I offer the world a whole lot more than just the fact that I’m comfortable with my body. We all have bodies. It’s our minds and hearts that make us interesting.

I’m back in LA at last!

It’s good to be home! In the ten days since I moved into my Studio City apartment, I’ve had one audition (Yay! I got my first NO!), I managed to work on a film (Vigilante Diaries) and a TV show (non-airing pitch/pilot), attended a friend’s hilarious premiere (Helen Keller vs. Nightwolves) and landed a gig as a spokesperson for Soyracha Hot Chili Sauce. I was invited to be a guest on a fun radio show called The Milf Code – here is the link… http://tradiov.com/la/videos/9-24-2015-milf-code/ and even snuck a few dates in there.

It’s good to be back! Wonder what the next ten days will bring?
