About Me

Logo Design by GothicHangman

Hello/Madainn Mhath/Hallo/Merhaba/Hola
Welcome to My Corner on My Space...
Allow Me To Introduce Myself:
I'm a fun-loving entertainer and advisor from Orange County. Originally from Upstate NY, I am of Scottish descent and my family hails from the MacLaughlin Clan of Kilmarnoch. I am very into my heritage, work and of course my family. I have two beautiful boys (check out their pics) that I raised all by myself. I have been through many life challenges and I channel all my positive energy through my art. I am a very busy person with little time for a social life, but I do hold a few people very close. I hope you enjoy your stay here for a few minutes. I always appreciate comments, they brighten my day!Need Good, Solid Advice? Click Here
By day, I am the Sales Director for a leading Hollywood Special Effects Company SYNAPSE FX

I only wear:
In my off time, I am a character actress, artistic performer, dancer, singer, stand-up comedian, and voice talent. I LOVE bringing fun characters to life and making others laugh--showbiz is my passion.

Speaking of characters, here I am as the Norma Lisa:
Ok, here's another.... A character I do during some standup performances. Her name is Bev and she's actually, yes, MY MOTHER!! She's always in her housecoat, rarely gets dressed, smokes three packs a day and drinks milk to stay alive.

Key Phrases: "Oh My God, Darlins'!" "What's that about!?"Be sure and add her as a friend. Her profile is in my toplist.
I have had a MySpace page for four years now. I like meeting new friends within the entertainment industry, and of course, I love meeting my local fans. My family migrated to this country from Scotland back in the very early 1900s. I especially like to meet other Celtic Folks, especially my fellow low-landers that can teach me our native Gaelic.

I get told a lot that I closely resemble Stockard Channing and Lauren Graham. I guess if they conceived a baby, it would have looked like me-ha.
I believe in
I speak English, Spanish, French and a little Turkish. Although not fluent in the latter three, I use them whenever the opportunity presents itself.

More About Me (Artistically Speaking):
I am the Marketing Director as well as performer with Constructs of Ritual Evolution--the very best in Flesh Suspension. We have been in documentaries, movies, and have travelled all over the world performing for a variety of audience types. Questions that people always ask is "Why do we do what we do?" or they make comments like, "that's nuts," "what the hell?" Simply put, don't knock it until you see it. Suspension is just one element of our performances--we do what no other suspension troupe does and we're considered the forerunners in this magnificent and awe-inspiring artform.

I have recently been cast in the lead role as Nellie Forbush in "South Pacific" at Starlight Theater. The run will begin later this summer, 2008.

In my last theater production, I starred as Agnes Gooch in "Auntie Mame" at the Huntington Beach Playhouse (11/3-11/19/06):

Review by Tom Titon, Huntington Beach Independent:
"Auntie Mame" and its musical cousin contain a relatively small character role that, in the right hands, can steal the show â€” the nerdy transcriber Agnes Gooch, and Norma Jean Riddick is an absolute howl as she undergoes a "My Fair Lady" transformation in five minutes and a more defining lifestyle alteration during the next nine months."

Books:

"Why Does He Do That?" ... Inside The Minds of Angry and Controlling Men by Lundy Bancroft.
LADIES!! Read this book because sometimes you will NEVER know about these things until you gain a little more knowledge. This helped me tremendously with both recent and past experiences. If you think you're being abused, used, disrespected, cheated on, ignored, and NOT honored, then you ARE--believe it--you need to recognize it and get help. I am making it a mission to educate as many women as possible about these alarming and inexuseable behaviours in the angry and controlling male. I totally support the Battered Women's Organizations and intend to go to some discussions to heal myself and talk to the other women. I've already talked to some--the patterns are alarmingly the same in many cases.
Also: Anything by Stephen Covey or Zig Ziglar

Heroes:

Special Mention:My children. They are my inspirations for success, my backbone, and the loves of my life. I am such a lucky mother to have two of the brightest, most beautiful sons on the planet.
Meet Brooks, Age 18 and Robert, Age 12
My love, Richard, who's taught me that I should never give up on wanting the love and wonderful life I so deserve. He makes me feel more alive than I've ever felt in my life.
Richard Weiss, Stand-Up Guy
(The Next Dangerfield)
Directors: Barry Levinson, Brian De Palma, Gabriele Maccino, George Romero, Joel Schumacher, John Carpenter, Lawrence Kasdan, Martin Campbell, Martin Scorsese, Mike Nichols, M. Night Shyamalan, Oliver Stone, Quentin Tarantino, Roman Polanski, Stanley Kubrick, T. Sean Shannon, Tim Burton, Wes Craven, Woody Allen, Zack Snyder
Others: Adam Sandler, Alejandro, Archie Bunker, Art Aguirre, Candace Bergen, Carol Burnett, Cher, David Chapelle, Dustin Hoffman, Edith Bunker, Elaine Boosler, Ellen Degeneres, Gene Wilder, Isis, Jackass Boyz, Jake Kasdan, Jennifer Tilly, Jim Carey, John C. Reilly, Judd Apatow, Laurence Fisburne, Madeline Kahn, Meryl Streep, Michael Jackson, Noman Pan, Quentin Tarantino, Robert DeNiro, Sacha Baron Cohen, Samantha Stevens, Samuel L. Jackson, Skye Renfro, Steve Joyner , Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, William Shatner.
Oprah Winfrey, for giving me added encouragement and reassurance that I can accomplish anything. I appeared on her show and that appearance allowed me to express to a national audience my advocacy in the fight against domestic violence. I am forever grateful.
Lastly, Barbra Streisand: A woman who's an actress, director, producer, and singer. Winner of many awards, classy as hell, a versatile style, doesn't say can't or won't, is damn tenacious about what she believes in, and has a tendency to "stir the political pot." See any correlations here with me? *smile*
