That is the killer line that a lot of fat women get. Even the ones that don’t have a pretty face hear that. It’s always said with the inference being, “but it’s a damn shame about the rest of you!” But that is never said. Okay, it’s rarely said. You… Continue reading You Have Such A Pretty Face

Hollywood Forever
When I ditched my life in San Diego to follow and pursue my dreams of being an actor, writer and comedian I had no idea what was ahead of me. When I look back now it is hard to believe I have done all that I have done. I am definitely grateful for… Continue reading Hollywood Forever
I Had An Audition Today
I had an audition today. And, while I am a bit superstitious, for someone who doesn’t believe in that kind of stuff, I will say it was a great experience. It called for someone to be rather tough. My awesome acting coach and I broke it down on Saturday and came up… Continue reading I Had An Audition Today
Couldn’t I Just Win The Lottery?
I haven’t written in a while. And, it isn’t that I don’t think about writing ALL the time. I do. It’s just life gets in the way. I get busy. Being unemployed and trying to figure out what’s next has been, well, interesting. I am going to warn you… Continue reading Couldn’t I Just Win The Lottery?
Hide Your Fat Women
I had written another blog and was all ready to post it when I heard about ABC and FOX banning an ad for Lane Bryant’s lingerie brand Cacique. Of course, I had to look it up.

Fat Cheerleader
First, I want to say to those of you concerned that I am in a “funk.” Please don’t worry. This is a good place to be. They always say that when you know where you are going there isn’t room for creativity. Well, if that is really the case then the… Continue reading Fat Cheerleader
The War Against Lisa Brounstein
They say that no one is as hard on you as you are. Or they say, “You are your own worst enemy.” Those aren’t the same. But lately I have been in such a funk. Unlike Picasso my blue period has not been prolific or inspired. Well, maybe a little… Continue reading The War Against Lisa Brounstein
Just Ask Oprah
Just ask Oprah, I’m fat. Yes, I am fat. I was on her show and the title of the show was “What It’s Like to be Fat.” Clearly, Oprah is the arbiter of fat having fought and battled her weight for years. For the last 25 years, she has been publicly scrutinized… Continue reading Just Ask Oprah
Too Fat To Be A Ballerina
I wasn’t a particularly fat child. Although, I felt huge compared to my friends. I was a “normal” size baby. I was an average sized toddler and so on. Then around 6 I started to gain weight. Not massive amounts but I started to become a chubby child. At… Continue reading Too Fat To Be A Ballerina
