Getting back in the groove of normal life after wrapping up our Househunter's episode has been challenging. Life sure is different without cameras documenting your every step in cute outfits. No wonder reality stars are all a little weird, you really have to make the mundane seem interesting. Good thing my method acting skills came into play otherwise I would have been screwed. For example, when asked to open a door and enter a building, thanks to my formal training, I was prepared. I really had to go back deep into my sense memory to dig up a past experience of a time when I opened a door, remember how it made me felt, what emotions I was exuding at that moment and echo that action in the present. Hard work. Thank you Lee Strasberg.
Jokes aside, filming the episode was such a great experience, we would definitely do it again, and can't wait to see how it will all piece together. Oy vey, it could go either way, you never know where the pendulum will strike once the footage is in the hands of the editors, don't even get me started on my post-breakout blemishes I was desperately trying to conceal. Scary.
In the wake of my reality show haze, I received an e-mail from the girly champagne network to join them on their Clink, Chat and Catch Up segment on the new Bubbly Talk Radio. The show is created by four champagne enthusiasts world-wide who celebrate their love of bubbles, focus on being their most effervescent, and convey the importance of being positive role models to other women. Girlfriends have got it going on!
You could imagine how honored I was to be asked to come on as a guest champagne sister, to sit down for an exclusive one on one interview with my friend Cara, creator of The Champagne Diet, and author of Sparkle (out October 12th!). Our interview was more like girl talk, and we dished about the fabulous and apropos birthday gift from Sebastien, who and what inspires me (the list may surprise you), and sharing a champagne memory with my favorite chick from the block (these days not so much), Jennifer Lopez.
It was great catching up with the champagne sisters who are really doing some interesting things, and I hope you all enjoy the show! Pop! Pour! *Clink*!
