Cameron and I were thrilled to be 2 of Paula's invitees!
Paula, Tessa, UreGirl
Nothing is more fun than when you find out Petey Ord is at the same fun thing you are at!!!
For reals...we hardly touched our booties to our seats!
Yeah... kinda sweet pic right??
Where all the dolling up happens. I think I was sitting in Simon's chair 
Obviously I had to see what it felt like to make it all the way to the judges to perform!!!
YEAH...it felt good...real good! (even if there was no one there to fawn over my performance...)
And then obviously I had to see what it'd feel like to get a golden ticket from the "Golden Ticket" gal herself....Sum-summ's (who you'll no doubt see on screen this season!)
And ya...I mostly wanna be a judge and be in the power seat...so I had to try that out too.
Umm.. did I mention that Randy was obsessed with me? It was all fun and games till he started really asking for my number and such. (Weird things - cause it's Hollywood are you suppossed to just go along with it all??? I so don't have that kind of tact!) That's when I got nervous. I can joke and turn on the charm for the best of them. But then all of a sudden when I realize I'm naieve and the teasing isn't mutual and the other half might actually be serious I go Helen Keller on them (deaf, dumb, and blind). Just a defense mechanism...that's all.
The after party that we were escorted into had all sorts of free stuff which I obviously love. We were all over the "BLISS" hand massages. The party was classic, we were like two modest sore thumbs that seemed a little out of place next to the big names. We tried not to act too clingy.
We were sent to replenish the judges must have's from the grocery store. Interesting personal fav.'s they've got.
I guess you could say that if I could live my life without the stress of money or need of responsibility I would become a Hollywood groupie. I mean that in the sense that I just love any opportunity to go to any tv/filmed event and especially love it when I get to see a thing or two behind the scenes.
This weekend I had the chance to do a little work at the American Idol auditions, and I also was invited to see the So You Think You Can Dance show at the Honda Center. Now this kind of crap makes for my kind of weekend!
Whether I was dancing next to Paula Peralta in our own personally choreographed routines in section 228 (fab. seats girl!) of the Honda Center, or I was dodging giving Randy Jackson my telephone number - I was having fun and cracking up the whole time.
At the SYTYCD tour that I was invited to by the lovely Paula...who some of you may not be aware...has the roar of a lion!!! (For reals I was blown away at the depth of her bellow!) As usual I could care less if I'm lookin' the fool as I attempt to imitate the latest moves on the dance floor - so I shook my bootie probably a little more than necessary. But it was great cause Paula and I apparently gave some courage to the row of pre-teens sitting in front of us. They'd turn around and watch us having the time of our life, then they'd nod to each other as if to say it was ok for them to begin catching a beat of their own. I thought it was fun to see them being encouraged to have such a great time as well.
***and p.s.*** might I mention that I WILL be having Napoleon and Tabitha choreographing a one of a kind out of this world dance routine for me and Mr. Right ( I totally wish it was 'Mr. Right Now!' ) to dance to at our wedding reception. Believe me when I tell you that you'll sooo want to be there!!!
Now at A.I. - I had the chance - thanks to Sum-Summ's ever present connections - to wait hand and foot on our lovely judges. Who...by the way.. have now turned to 4 instead of 3. This year Kara has been brought in to spicen things up. Might be interesting. But not as interesting as all the secrets I learned about what goes on to make the whole production happen. No doubt watching the show this year will be extra entertaining for me! Oh and did I mention that Summ's insisted I perform my rejected American Idol Audition performance for a few of our pals there? Yeah...they weren't surprised I didn't make it too far.
