DO YOU WANT TO BE FAMOUS?

About Me


There isn't a lot that most of my friends on My Space don't already know about me... so for the most part - I'll keep it short and sweet. Having spent most of my adult life in dark rooms with hot, sweaty people gyrating to repetitive beats I decided in a moment of clarity that I should give up that rockstar lifestyle and try the corporate world. So for the past 3 years I have submurged myself in a fast-paced atmosphere of Event Marketing / Experential Marketing & Promotions, to see if I had what it took... Well the only thing that I learned along the way was I had nothing to prove... and what came to me as the real moment of clarity (cause the last 3 years had to be a bad bad dream) is that I will never sell my soul again...unless of course I am getting PAID for it LARGE! So my friends at My Space...I'm back and ready to rock and roll! I have started my own business once again called Notorious Inc. - with it's first division D4C (Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap) and I will also be concentrating my efforts towards the opening and maintenance of SONIC NIGHTCLUB!!!Woooooooooooo!

Movies:

All time favorite has got to be Alfred Hitchcock's REAR WINDOW with Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly...I mean come on - not only was it a "Suspense / Thirller" done in Technicolor... but almost the entire movie was shot and viewed from Jimmy Stewart's character's apartment window and it worked!!!! Shouts out to Raymond Burr for playing the suspected villain and how glamorous Grace is! I know there are more faves but really I am into all Genres... even the B, C and D movies...as long as I'm laughing, crying or on the edge of my seat.

Television:

Soaps, SitComs, Drama, DocuDrama, Documentary, Reality, TV Movies, MUCH, MTV - A&E...I could go on and on...I don't watch as much as I want to - I am a self-proclaimed TV Junkie! TV brought me up from a wee lass, kept me company when I was alone and infomed me about what is happening in the world! Gotta love something that entertains you - and you can turn if off when you want!
