Ah. Time to change from the old "I'm FABULOUS" thing, so here I am. But where to begin? How can you sum up a lifetime or a personality in only a few paragraphs? I'll give it a shot on this profile page, I suppose, but for more "in-depth" stuff, read my blogs; I blog like a fiend (sometimes)!
Let's see. I live in Las Vegas (and HATE it but can't imagine living anywhere else), I cry every time I watch Olive's dance scene in "Little Miss Sunshine" (despite the fact that I've seen it probably 30 times!), and I make a mean hamburger pot pie. I've seen the movie "Vacation" just thousands of times but I still think it's hilarious, I love Nutella (I eat it straight from the jar with a fork!), and there is at least one ghost haunting my home. It bangs on cupboards, knocks things onto the floor in the kitchen, etc., and though I've never seen it (or heard it speak...), I know it's a youngish (20's) male, and somewhat mischievous! I won't start being bothered until he either does something dangerous, appears, or SPEAKS to me! Obviously, I would not like ANY of the above - but he can knock on the cupboards all the wants...
I love thunderstorms, I am hypersensitive to smell and sound (among other senses) and I'm a fabulous cook! I love, love, LOVE music, particularly jazz, British soul and disco/funk! I think Ricky Gervais is beyond GENIUS, and the funniest, most touching and thoroughly satisfying TV special - OF ALL TIME - was "The Office" (BBC version, obviously)! If you haven't seen it, do yourself the favor and watch the entire series. It's only 12 episodes, and then the special, and it's AMAZING. Until you see it, you haven't really lived!
I'm fiercely proud of my Norwegian heritage (ja, jeg er Norsk!), I am a singer, an actress, a model, an activist and just basically interested in a little bit of everything. I worked for many years in the entertainment industry but was WAY sick of it long before leaving. Now I'm ensconced and engrossed in an equally fascinating field and am, in fact, studying for the Series 7, 63, 65 and 66 exams! Hurrah! Too exciting for words!
I became an orphan in Nov. 2007, when my dad died. The slow, on-going realization of his death continues to devastate me, (even though I'm carrying on remarkably well, even if I do say so myself), but also gave me the indescribable, exquisite freedom of NOT having any family whatsoever. But I'm not alone in the world. No, I'm lucky enough to have some truly spectacular friends; they are very unusual, gifted, talented, creative, silly, crazy and just plain FABULOUS creatures who enrich my life immeasurably. They allow me to be free, to be who (Kristen) and what (Norwegian) I am, and I relish every moment spent with them.
NOW - even though Hollywood, Las Vegas and TMZ (and ALL those bullshit "entertainment magazine" shows on TV) would have you believe otherwise, TALENT really does MATTER.
I love this man:
I CANNOT HELP IT: the following is one of the funniest things I have ever seen (and heard!) in my entire life. It truly keeps me awake at night, lying in bed thinking about it and laughing so hard, the bed shakes! I literally laugh myself to sleep! WHY? Well, WATCH. (Check out Lawrence's face. And hey, there's NOTHING like the sensual sounds of the ACCORDION to get a girl in the mood.)
GOD, I love a man who's good with his fingers...
One of the most glorious voices ever to grace this world was that of Dusty Springfield, shown here with Burt Bacharach. Simply astonishing:
That's right, baby: Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)!
