Almost Famous

A few weeks ago we did a photo shoot for the CORE fitness class I took all last quarter. I was told that the photos would be on Chris' website. He emailed me a view of of the pictures and either emailed or told me about an ad in The Sacramento News & Review. Since I am an actress and there is big money in print ads and commercial work, I was less than happy that he designed and ran the ad without my permission -- and of course, provided no compensation. I think he was floored that I was not ecstatic that I was "chosen" to be in his ad. Anyway.

After seeing the first of a few double features this week, I treated myself to a Chinese dinner at Silver Dragon. I grabbed a paper to read while I dined and opened the paper to page 27 and started laughing.

Some of you know that I recorded a CD with my aunt a few months ago in NY. It was a great learning experience and while my Aunt's singing is not what I call great, I am pretty happy with what I did. Listening now, I certainly would have done something differently and persuaded them to let me take a complete take on Desperado rather than piecing things together. The album finally appeared on all of the internet outlets but of course my name is not mentioned anywhere. In fact my aunt is credited for all songs, including mine. Feel free to listen, but know that I Wanna Be Loved by You and Desperado are in fact sung by ME.
