Fire!

California is burning up. This picture was taken with Jon's camera phone just outside our house. Luckily the winds are not blowing in our direction, however they closed down the freeway from our house to downtown LA. Jon has to work tonight and we are not really sure how he is going to get there. Hopefully they will open the freeway up soon. Crazy!

Busy Weekend

My cousin and his wife were in town this weekend from Seattle. We had a very busy time. We took them to Disneyland, a party at a friends house, a benefit wine/cheese tasting party, a comedy show, Hollywood Haunt (a Halloween Party in Hollywood thrown by the one and only V), and gave them the full LA tour. It was fun. We gave them a taste of a normal weekend with Jon and Heather.

Here is a picture from the Hollywood Haunt Halloween party (it is a very candid picture the photographer at the party took). It was great fun however it feels like Halloween in Hollywood is just an excuse for girls to dress skanky. As for me, I dressed up like a little kid and whore my onesy pj's (you know what little kids where with the feet built in and the zipper that starts below your knee, you know you whore it as a kid) and Jon was a guido from New Jersey. We didn't have much time to prepare costumes so this is what we came up with. It was a good time!

Fire!

Last night when we were driving home from visiting a set we saw in the distance a bright orange light in the night sky. It seemed far away but yet very close. As we got closer we realized that the orange light was a fire and we were headed right for it. The fire was directly next to the freeway on our drive home. (the picture above is what it looked like when we were driving up to it and the picture below was up next to it, taken from my camera phone)

We pulled over to take some pictures. I couldn't believe how close we were to a real fire. We could feel the heat. We were so surprised they didn't close the freeway down since it as literally touching the cement wall that separated us from the fire. After a few pictures we took off and learned later that minutes after we left they closed the freeway down for hours. I was so happy we made it threw. It was such an experience.

Work Pictures

I hope you guys watched my fun fight on Friday night on Ghost Whisperer. In cased you missed it, I did a fight that was suppose to take place inside a computer game. Since we were supposedly in the video game we shot the whole fight on green screen. Here is a picture of me doing a ratchet (an air pressure thing that yanks you powerfully through the air). Because I was doing the fight in stilettos and a bustier it made some of the stunts in the fight a bit more difficult. When I was doing my ratchet the jerk vest (a type of harness you wear that they attach the cable to) was a special kind that didn't go over my shoulders so it didn't spread the power out over my body it basically pulled my whole body from my ribs. On the first rehearsal I thought it cut me in half. We ended up putting something in between my body and the harness that helped but let me tell you the first one was a dosy. Next time I know and as dad says "live and learn or you don't live long." I stand by that.


Also it is not easy doing a double kick back flip in giant stiletto heals. It throws your whole weight distribution out of wack. It was fun though. Here are a few pictures from the fight.BTW did I mention how great Jennifer Love is to work with. She really is an amazing person!


Did you watch Terminator this week? If you did, did you see the two terminators fighting? The other terminator was a stunt girl who is also a contortionist. She is amazing and her body can do some crazy stuff. Summer (the actress) ended up doing most of the fight on film. I would rehearse it and set it up for cameras but Summer did most of it on film. She is great and the fight turned out really good. Here is a picture of me in Terminator make up. It was fun make up to wear.

On TV tonight

Watch Ghost Whisperer tonight on ABC. I am doubling Jennifer Love Hewitt on the show tonight. I have some fun pictures I will post after the show airs. Also watch Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Monday on Fox. I am doubling the terminator girl Summer Glau (her character's name is Cameron).

I have been bad about letting you guys know when I am on TV. Sorry it is hard to keep up with it. I worked the past couple of days. I worked over 17 hours yesterday. It was such a long day but it went well.

Home from Europe

We arrived home from Europe Saturday night. Unfortunately a lady on the plane next to me got me sick. She was blowing her mucus all over the place, so I woke up Sunday with a nasty cold. I am feeling a tinny bit better thankfully because I am working today. I feel so bless to have had this wonderful vacation and come home to work. I am working a few days this week (on Heroes and Ghost Whisperer) and next week (on Sarah Conner Chronicles).

Here are a few pictures from our trip. We took over 400 pictures and tons of video. I
will post some more pictures when I have a chance.(The top picture is of us in Rome)


This is a picture of us in Monco. They yachts were amazing.

Here we are in Tuscanny in front of the villa we stayed at. My favorite place I stayed.

Jon driving the Ferrari in Monoco. He smiled the whole time!

The Eiffel Tower at night. So romantic!

In Tuscany Italy!

We are having the most amazing time in Europe! So far we have been to London, Paris, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Florence and now we are in a Villa in Tuscany. I cant even begin to tell what an amazing time we are having. I will write in detail all about our trip when I get back home but I will tell you Jonny got to drive a Ferrari in Monte Carlo on the F1 track. Anyone who knows Jon knows that was like a life time dream come true.

I think for me I am most enjoying the food. We keep saying we are eating our way through Europe. I definitely will have to diet when I get home or the actresses will fire me, but until then I am enjoying every second. One of my highlights so far was the Eiffel tower all lite up at night. It was so romantic being there with Jon. I have been to the Eiffel town when I was in High School but having my husband there was just amazing and it was all light up so beautiful. It just twinkled.

I am also loving Tuscany. I cant wait to come back. Tomorrow we are headed to Rome and on Saturday we are headed to Spain. I miss my dog but I am so loving this trip! (This is a picture of where we are staying in Tuscany)

Vacation time!

Jon and I have been working like crazy this year with little time off and have decided to take a vacation. We are headed to Europe for 2 weeks! I am so excited. With buying a new house, fixing it up and working I am so in need of a vacation. It is hard to turn work down for a vacation (it is my first time turning work down for personal reasons ever!) but I guess you have to do it. In our jobs we don't get 2 weeks paid vacation or anything like that. You only get paid when you work.

We leave tomorrow and start our trip off in London then Paris, Cannes (southern France), Monaco, Florence (staying in Tuscany), Rome and that is just the first 8 days. From Rome we head to Marbella Spain for a week on the Mediterranean in a villa.

I am especially excited to go back to Spain because we will be staying only 30 miles away from Malaga where I decided Jon was the man for me. The summer before we were married we lived in Malaga for the summer and lived in a youth hostel and had the most amazing time. I have a couple of restaurants I am really excited about going back to.

There are 4 of us going on the trip, Jon, me, Rita Jon's mom and our friend Amy. It will be Jon with three ladies traveling around Europe. It should be an amazing adventure! I will be sure to share pictures and stories once I get back.

In case you missed it

In case you missed the VMA's last night here is the link to the Pink performance I was in.

I am walking behind her during the barrels sparking. You can tell it is me because I have on the skirt. They wanted the brunettes in the front so that is why it is hard to see me.

Here are two pictures from the VMA's. There are a bunch more but my friend is emailing me so when I get those I will post them. We got one with Pink after the show. It was so much fun! Pink was so nice and great to work with. Backstage they were serving Dom Perignon champagne which is always a treat. Probably one of funnest jobs.

On the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday Night

I am working on the MTV Video Music Awards that air live tonight. I am not doing anything crazy but it should be a really fun day of work. Award shows are always fun. I am in the Pink (the singer) performance so look for me however I really doubt you will be able to see me. I am going to be in punk rock cloths which is very much out side my element so it will be like Halloween. I am excited!
