Desperate times call for desperate measures.  What an understatement.

Do you know how many formerly highly successful people I know who are currently struggling financially, out of work and wondering where their next meal is coming from? Let’s not even talk about paying the homeowner’s insurance, health insurance or credit cards. We’re talking about surviving – at its base level.

I’ve got friends and acquaintences who have been looking for any sort of work for months — even YEARS!  Can you believe this?  Believe it.

Trust me – I do not say these things lightly.  I don’t like to put the spotlight on negativity.  We all know (any of my readers know, that is), that I am NOT one to “cave” or “bandwagon” it because of what people say or how they choose to act.   I believe we create the drama or at the very least, fan the flames of depression (or lack of affluence, success, employment, moolah) oftentimes by merely giving credence to it (the lack of jobs, money, success, etc. that seems to be out there).  I still hold firm to the belief that we create the lives we live.  We can be as successful as we truly desire — IF — we go for it fearlessly.

BUT (oh yeah – there is a BIG BUT here) – when everyone you know has at least one friend (more than likely several friends) out of work, and struggling to make ends meet, you have got to pay attention PEOPLE!  

I will not be one to turn a blind eye and pretend nothing is happening – that we do not have a problem .  And neither should you. 

I know I won’t.  Nope.  Not when that problem is not only staring me in the face, but it barged in my front door last October, and has now made itself at home, shacking up on my living room sofa, and using up all of my toothpaste.

And not when unemployment rates are skyrocketing, soup kitchens can’t keep enough food, or feed enough people, and recycled clothing shops have stopped buying shoes and clothes because they have too many people trying to sell their wears. 

So you know what?  I am sick of it.  I’ve NEVER been one to unsuccessfully hunt for a good job!  What the HECK is going ON out there?  I was (and am) always the one to say “I’m going to get a job.”  And I did (and DO)!

A GOOD job!  The kind people could marvel at!

But seemingly, not so these days.  I can’t tell you the countless numbers (hundreds for sure) of highly educated (chock-full-a-”social media experience,” “internet savvy,” “management level”) friends and passers-by in my life who’ve been looking for work in their respective fields, but have resorted to applying for ANY sort of job (receptionist, restaurant hostess, retail clerk) – - STILL to no avail. They’re competing against thousands of equally over-qualified individuals, and can’t seem to “stand out” above the rest for that $12/hour (plus tips) job.

So that’s it. I’m done.  This has got to stop.  And it is starting with ME. 

Over the next couple of weeks (or as long as my creativity lasts) I am going to hit the pavement – literally.  I am going to use any and all methods I can “employ” to obtain solid offers for a GOOD job, and I will NOT settle for anything less than what I deserve (we’re talking big bucks here people). 

I’ve got some good ideas, but feel free to offer your suggestions.  It’s going to be a wild ride folks!  The gloves are off!  I’ve got my camera in hand.  Watch out moguls!  I’m coming for you!  I’ll show YOU who stands out above the rest.

Stay tuned my lovelies. And keep fighting!

Love you people!  Mmmmmphhhuuuhhhhh! 

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Okay.  I know.  I have too many monikers.  Ms. Cheevious, Yummy, etc.  But did you know I am also a SUPER HERO? 

Yep!

And with that, comes another moniker, or alias of course. In my case it is “Brat-Tay.”

I’m just ONE of the Sherwood Girls. 

Haven’t you heard of us?

We’re Smar-Tay, Ice-Tay, Pah-Tay, Hot-Tay, Sport-Tay, Zes-Tay and MOI — Brat-Tay (because we all know I LOVE to get my way).  Yeah.  We’ve been fighting bad guys —  well — just about all our lives. 

We spent some time this weekend trying to vacation… and wouldn’t you know we were accosted by a Mayan Warrior??  We were forced to go all Super Hero up in his grill, just so we could get back to Beverly Hills and our Sprinkles Cupcakes!  Can YOU believe it? HA!

Watch it and enjoy!

If you cannot view this (some email subscribers) follow this link, then be sure to come back and comment! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVasjwt1wfM

Have a fantastic week everyone!  Don’t do anything to make the Sherwood Girls get all up in your grill!  Stay tuned for more Sherwood Girl Capers!

Love you people!  Mmmmmppphhhhuuuuhhhh!

Okay, okay!  I know you are wondering if I went for it this past Saturday and tried out for the Los Angeles Temptation (the LA team in the Lingerie Football League) at their open tryouts.  I expressed my concerns (as to whether they might just laugh and tell me to go home, etc.) in my last post, “Lingerie Football League… To Tryout or Not.”  And the answer is…..

I did it.  Yep!

I went on Saturday, with borrowed cleats that were a half size too small (ouch), got in line, got my number (#111), and did what I could.  Here are my quick notes on the day, and I’ll let you get straight to the video:

1. There were about 130 girls I believe – all around the average age of 22.
2. There were some exceptional athletes, some of them returning players from last year (#112, Nikki, actually played four games last year for the LA Temptation, but had to drop out early).
3. Because the league is new, and continues to gain momentum and recognition and respect, the bar is raised every year on the athletic talent they expect and recruit – so even the current team members have to try out again – even though the current team members won their Superbowl.
4. It’s tough to sprint in cleats (note to self for next time), especially a half size too small, and on uneven grass.  HA!
5. They watched the girls throughout the day, and if they were not up to par, they tapped them out and sent them home. 
6. I did not get tapped.  Me and about 64 other girls didn’t get tapped. HA!
7. The plan is for the league and team to go back, review everyone’s scores and probably their looks, and choose TEN girls from those who remained, to go on to the next level.
8. I am sure I was the oldest one there, but I didn’t feel like it.  I felt really great, and just finishing the day without being cut made me very proud of myself — almost unbearable to live with – mwaaah ha ha haaaaa.
9. My man, coach and FOOTBALL mentor (since I’d never really even tried to throw or catch a football, nor did I know anything about the drills, etc… until just last week), was there every step of the way, cheering, photographing and taking video for all of you to see.

So without further delay, enjoy this little montage in honor of my tryout.  After I finished editing it, and posted it to Youtube, I thought perhaps it looked a bit over-the-top.  You know?  Like, all-about-MEEEEEE?  And I suppose it probably does.  But you know what?  TOUGH TOAST.  I am the one who’s banged up here.  I think we can let this one slide.  HA!

Enjoy……

Note:  In the closing credits, I called myself “Tryer-Outer #1″ because I was the first one to show up on the video… that’s usually how it’s done…  I didn’t do it in reference, obviously, to the number I was assigned for that day.

So there you have it!  My big day!  The best news is, if I really want to seriously train and tryout again, with better speed, agility, etc… I will have another chance right before training camp in late July or August!  Yayyyyy!!

Have a fantastic week you sporto’s out there. Go get some exercise! 

Love you people!! Mmmmmmmmpppphhhuuuuhhhhhh!!!

Ms. Cheevious

Did some great hobnobbing in Hollywood last night people.  Yep.  Celebrities GALORE. 

I took my clients to a benefit for Haiti called “Heroes of Haiti.” 

Yeah.  I know. 

Isn’t Haiti all better now? 

NO.

They’re NOT. 

And they still need help. 

Before I go on, go to www.can-do.org and watch their video.  They are all about accountability, and will show you what your money pays for over there.  They go in, rally the locals to help, and they get things done, bypassing or circumventing the red tape.  Then after you watch the video, perhaps you should make a little donation.  If you can…. do…..  that is.

Here is a strip of photos from the event last night.  It was pretty star-studded, and fun!  Of course, none of these are my clients, for anonymity purposes… but take a look at a couple of these.  Recognize a certain Million Dollar Diva (whom I so graciously wrote about not too long ago)?

Fun stuff eh?  It WAS fun.  You can also peruse the event photos on Wire Image.  What was really spectacular was the video they played at the event.  It said it all.  Go and view it people!  Can-Do is a worthwhile organization, and we ALL need to have a Can-Do Attitude.

So there you have it!   I’m off to a girlfriend’s birthday bash in Beverly Hills.  Then it’ll be fun by the beach with my man, M.C. Nugget.

Yummmmy.

Love you people!  MMMMMMPPPHUUUUHHHH!!!

So, the date was December 19, 2009. M.C. and I hosted a little holiday party at my place. It was awesome. People came and went. A couple of my clients stopped by, as well as some family… It was the usual holiday get-together.  That is, until about 2:00 am.

That’s when all that remained were me, M.C. and a couple of our friends who decided to stick around and gab. At one point we decided to start taking photos to remember the evening.

I was the first designated photographer (and last – you’ll see why in a second). I moved in to get a great shot, and leaned over to get an even  ”better” angle of the three of them.  I didn’t realize I was dangerously close to a taper candle M.C. lit earlier that evening.

My girlfriend gasped and said, “Lisa! Your hair’s, on fire!” I shrugged it off and patted it out… or so I thought, until she continued, “No! It’s REALLY on fire!”

Just then M.C. took two very large strides in my direction and somehow patted the flames out — VERY quickly.  (Actually all of that happened in a matter of seconds).

That was it for the photo session!  I ran to my bathroom to observe the damage, and believe it or not, there was NO VISIBLE DAMAGE?  I am NOT kidding!  That’s what I get for accommodating my friends and being the designated photog!  Ha!

The only thing I can think of which may have prevented my hair from going “POOF!” and literally bursting into flames, however, is that I’d been using a new hair product for a while (that day and evening included). It was a heat protector to be used prior to flat-ironing your hair.  I’d been in search of something like it for years, and when I found it a few months back, I immediately began to use it.  It protects your hair up to 475 degrees, Fahrenheit.  So – I am thinking it had to have some sort of FLAME RETARDANT in the mix!  Ha ha!  Is that CRAZY or WHAT? 

So, here is a picture of me with some super imposed flames on my hair.  I never got any pictures of myself that evening… as I mentioned!  By the time we got around to taking photos, my hair burst into flames!  HA HA! 

I’m told this is how big the flame was (or at least this is how I imagined it based on the saucer-sized eye balls my girlfriend had)!!

What’s funny is that about a week later, my girlfriend called me up to tell me that I must have angels around me, because my whole head of hair was engulfed in flames, and there was NO damage.  We were laughing about it.  I told her about my little product, which, of course, she asked me to pick up for her the next time I saw it. 

Fast forward to this past Wednesday.  She was back at my house, prior to an event I was taking her to (she is also a client of mine).  It was the People’s Choice Awards Post Celebration Party Benefiting Britticares (for kids with cancer).  Long story short, I was still finishing up my “flat-iron” routine when she arrived, so she chatted with me while I finished up.  My “product” was sitting on the counter, and I held it up to her.  And I swear, it was the FIRST time I’d actually paid any attention to the name, but it was called “GUARDIAN ANGEL.”  I kid you NOT.  Pretty funny!  We CRACKED UP at the fact that not only did I have angels around me, but I also had a GUARDIAN ANGEL – in a BOTTLE!  Ha! 

And – of course, without further adieu – here it is, my friends. My “Guardian Angel”:

Be sure to click this link and buy it now (shameless plug, I know).

So – we laughed and went off to enjoy a fabulous night at the People’s Choice Awards Post Celebration.  It was a fantastic event, and my girl and another celebrity friend were photographed, interviewed, hit up for autographs – the whole shebang (sp?). 

Whew!  I’m SOOO glad I can take that one off the list! I now know what it’s like to be ON FIRE.

Have a fantastic weekend you marvelously gorgeous humans! 

Love you people!  Mmmmmmppphhuuuhhhhhh!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious
