Attack of the gifs

It's been a while since I've written mainly because I've finally had a lot of stuff to do. Woo hoo!! That was something that was very hard for me to adjust to when I first got to LA, I came from having a schedule that went 100 miles an hour to being completely free. Well on Sunday I had training for Gap, my boss and I are getting along swimmingly, she said it's because I'm weird and I was like...

That's me!

 

In other news over the weekend Jenny and I went to her family's Halloween party, it was super fun and we both nailed our costumes!

 

 

Everyone was highly impressed!

 

So since I've been in LA I've basically tried to do everything I can to make my dream work also to make money. I've done quite a few audience gigs, where they pay me to come to the studio and sit in the audience for the day or a few hours. Doing this has gotten me into some beautiful studios like Warner Brothers, NBCUniversal, and Culver Studios. Every time I go in there I am so inspired! I just see everyone walking around the studio with headsets and the cameras and lights, it makes me feel a bit like this.

 

 

I just know that this is what I am meant to do, as sappy as you may think that sounds! It's just this gut feelings that I get. I'm putting it out into the universe and I'm praying that it comes true!

 

So tonight I'm subbing a tap class for this girl who I met while I was an audience member on Ricki Lake. The trick is that I have almost no clue what I'm doing! I was just a pretend tapper until I was in Crazy For You this past summer. That defiantly kicked my butt into being a good tapper! I'm just scared that I'll go in there and the students will be like she has no clue what she's doing..

 

 

Well hopefully that doesn't happen so I can blog to you guys again,

Ashley

 

 





Weekend Adventures with my gender questionable cat

My trip to Vegas was a great way to spend my weekend! My roommate went camping with her family and since my kitten needed to go to the vet I figured it's the perfect time to go home. This however has given my mother the idea that I can just keep coming back whenever I want, because I just have the money for that -_-

Adventures from the weekend include

 

                                                       Carmel apple making                                                          

 

 

 

 

 

Taking AJ to golf 



 

 

Catching up with some wonderful friends and family

 

 

It does really suck that after being the big man on campus in high school, you then go out into the real world and realize that you're at the bottom once again. Going back to LVA was really nice I was greeted by so many happy smiling faces, not to mention that I got to see a very entertaining show that night. SHOUT OUT DAVID IVES CAST, you guys did a great job!!

 

Also while I was in Vegas I took little kitty to the vet....well he's a she! Little AllanFrankSinatraCharlie is now just Sophie. I now know why I couldn't commit to a name for her before, they were boy names and she's a SHE! Little Sophie is now getting in the habit of 7am wake up calls. She falls asleep on my cuddle pillow snuggled up to my face and at 7am she's wide awake and ready to play, mommy does NOT think this is very funny...

 

Since I've been back in big girl life I have hung posters in my room, with actual hammer and nails! I went to an audition this morning, I'm currently doing laundry, and I'm hoping to catch a class at the gym later. (I brought an apple pie home from Vegas with me, my roommate also brought an apple pie home from camping with her).

 

Stay tuned for news about the audition and stories about little Sophie,

Home to the strip...

I still love that every time I say I'm from Vegas I get these strange looks as though I grew up in another world. Which is true now that I think about it, my high school was walking distance from Fremont street (home of all the Vegas crazies).

 

 

Home Sweet Home.

 

The car ride was a little crazy, we drove through five different rain storms and little Charlie was NOT happy about it. This was his first long car ride and now it's pouring down rain?! My car did get a nice car wash out of it though, because of the high speed travel as the rain hit it cleaned the car and flew off the back. Glorious, glorious I tell you.

Little Charlie is getting some MAJOR Nunes family love

 

This picture is obviously all about my model in the making brother Aj but you can see little Charlie in there somewhere. He has his first visit to the Vet tomorrow to get his shots, poor baby, he's excepting get well baskets starting tomorrow. I'm very excited to be back in Vegas for the weekend; I plan on doing some awesome fall actives with my family, seeing a show at LVA, and catching up with some friends.

 

I'll let you know about all of my rad Vegas adventures later,

Ashley

 





My new LA life!

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog! As much as I like to think that I sound like Carrie Bradshaw with her great advice about Sex and the City, this blog will be less about the sex and more about the wonderful city that I'm living in.

Los Angeles, where about 80% of the people I've met have dreams as big as mine. Practically everyone has something to do with the industry here. I've had a wonderful experience so far, some days are better than others, that is just how life is I suppose. I have a beautiful apartment, a beautiful roommate, and  beautiful little kitten.

 

 

We had a little naming crisis with the kitten. At first his name was Allan, then I thought why didn't I name him Frank Sinatra because Frank was the love of my young musical life. Neither of them fit this little guy's personality. Then last night as Jenny and I were doing our ritual of watching Sex and the City and eating popcorn and cookie dough, it came to us. I said, "It's a shame he's not a girl cause I can't name him Carrie or Charlotte." Jenny just replied with, "Charlie." The little guy has had the name ever since, and it fits him quite well. You guys will be hearing a whole lot about little Charlie in this blog.

 

Now about my job...

 

 

I am a party entertainer, if that's even the right name for it. I dress up as different characters as well as a clown that can make balloon animals, face paint, and do SIMPLE magic tricks. It's pretty much the best job ever because the money is great and I make special birthday memories that the kids will have forever! I also just got hired at the Gap on Ventura, my training is tomorrow so hopefully all goes well!

 

 

Stay tuned for more of my life LA style,

Ashley
