Sheer Cover…Yes, that is me.

So, a while ago, like, forever ago, my good friend Ronnie called me and said, “hey girl, totally random, I’m doing a sheer cover infomercial tomorrow, the girl I was going with bailed, you wanna come?”

Duh I want to come! I love infomercials and was dying to see how it all went down!

I was not so happy when she picked me up the next morning at 730am, I maybe had gotten too excited about it, and maybe had a few too many drinks the night before…maybe ;)

SO, we went, and I won’t go into details, but it was a really fun day, LONG, but fun.

Leeza Gibbons is amazing, I was really impressed by her grace and presence.

OH, but you know what was weird, Leann Rhymes and I kept making awkward eye contact then nervously looking away…although, thinking about it now, I may have just been staring at her, and she may have just been looking away out of fear and confusion….either way, the girl can sing!

So yes, its me! I just thought I should post something because I keep getting Facebooked and emailed about it lol.

Here is a little snippet of that day, you can see me in the audience smiling my face off…enjoy

Today

Is a gorgeous Sunday afternoon here in LA, I’m sitting around watching films and looking through old pictures. Has anyone seen Bad Boys? Not the Martin Lawrence & Will Smith one, but the 1983 young Sean Penn film?  Heavy man, really heavy. Those are my thoughts on that.

I’m excited, I’ve just received a really lovely email from a beautiful and talented woman that I have been dying to work with, and it looks like that may be happening in the nearish future :) more details to come I hope.

I’ve been going through my Iphoto, trying to organize all of my millions of pictures, I’ve gotten so used to just dragging and dropping that its a jumble of events, albums, random Dates, its almost too much…the upside is I get to look at some fabulous pictures that I often forget…

What is it that we love so much about pictures?

I love taking them, of other people, of myself, I think its the dress up, its like acting, getting to play characters, PLUS, when I do a photo shoot I end up wearing all of my favorite, clothing, accessories, and creatures (any fuzzy or stuffed animal like piece)

I spend hours on facebook, and google, just looking at images of people…things…whatever. P

Friends are great, strangers are okay, but its the friends of friends that are intoxicating. Maybe because it gives you bizarre insight into your friends, esp. for someone like me, someone who loves stalking…is that creepy? I just like to create a back story for these people, something fabulous, rags to riches, I give them very specific quirks and personality traits, which can be awkward when you meet them…

me. Hey sorry about your dad

stalkee. What

Me. yeah, I can’t even imagine…he gets hit by a train and you have to take on three jobs at 15 to take care of your sick mother and 3 younger sisters…crazy.

stalkee. Literally, none of that is true.

Me. ………

stalkee. have we met?

me. (awkward high pitched laughing)

Another freaky thing, is that I get obsessed with people’s style, and I will look through all of their pictures absolutely enraptured by their clothing, again, really awkward, when you meet someone for the first time and ask them

Me. Hey, where did those snake skin suspenders? You know, the ones you’re wearing in that picture taken at the Eiffel Tower last April, and by the way, what is the weather like in Paris in April, I was considering a trip and tickets are cheaper then but I always feel better with a referral.

Stalkee. h-h-have we met?

me. No, no, I just E-Stalk you

Creepy.

Creeperson.

Today was actually 3 days ago, and I forgot to post it until Today…so I suppose it still counts as today…right?

You don’t like my timeline you keep it to yourself you judge judy, I probably know where you live, at the very least I’ll break in and steal your sequins and suspenders…I also like animal print…

KCFJ out

ps. did I just invent “e-stalk”? cause I think I did!

pss. If I didn’t don’t tell me, I’m feeling REEEEAAAALLLY good about it.

psss. I love you

pssss. I hope someone is e-stalking me right now!

Back in LA

May 27, 2010 by kasij

Boys Dressing room Broadway Music Theatre, Chiba, Japan, home away from home

So, I’m back in Los Angeles after what seems like a wild fantastic dream for the past nine months…but it wasn’t a dream, it was real, I know because I have two scars and a broken foot to prove it! ;)

Its taken me a little bit longer to get back into the swing of things than I would have liked, but the foot posed a bit of a problem :)

I broke my foot in Thailand during a Muay Thai training, I kicked my trainer, an amazing fighter named Ma, I’m happy to say that he dropped to the floor with me (my kicks are lethal).

But the down time has been good…I mean literally sitting down and doing nothing for three weeks…I have had time to really think about what I want, why I am here, and how to move forward from this point. yay.

I have decided to take it moment by moment, day by day. Living as completely in the present as my little dreamer of a heart will let me.

Wow.

Here

I

Go

Stay tuned…

Be a Part of “Genesis: The World’s First Team of Black Superheroes”

January 18, 2010 by kasij

Some of you know, but too many of you do not, that I have been working with Writer/Director Teresa Dowell-Vest for the past few years on bringing her story “Genesis: The World’s First Team of Black Superheroes” to life.
I met Teresa as a student in one of her on camera acting courses, and the day I met her, I noticed the desktop background on her laptop, It was a vision board of Genesis, and from that first day, I knew that this film would be made, and I knew that I wanted in.  But at that point, my picture was not on her vision board,  but, you can be sure that that night, Genesis went on mine. Every week in class she would talk about the work she was doing and every night I would pray, pray for a chance to be involved in what will surely be a historical project. I didn’t know who or how, I just knew that I would be a part of Genesis.
Teresa cast me in a production of Pearl Cleage’s “Flyin’ West” that she was directing, and during the rehearsal process she invited us to read the script, it was the first draft and has gone through rewrites now, but I remember going home after a huge rehearsal, exhausted, and I didn’t get to bed until 3am for reading Genesis, I could not put it down! And of course I cast myself in ALL of the female roles at that point, lol. But there were two that I absolutely connected to, the eldest of the Heroes, Taige, and the baby of the villians, Rachel.
Well, you can imagine my delight, when I received a call from Teresa asking me if I would be interested in playing Rachel in a filmed reading of Genesis. Lets be honest here, I almost peed my pants.
Since that first reading, this project has grown up so much and now we are ready to shoot.  Be a part of Genesis,  visit http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/divablue/genesis-the-beginning-the-worlds-first-team, here you can read more about the project and even become a backer.

The Influenza Diaries

January 5, 2010 by kasij

So today, was my second full day of flu house arrest.

And the big event was going to the grocery store for supplies, and watching 16 episodes of Heroes.

16

Why did I stop at 16 you ask? well obviously any more than that might seem excessive…I wouldn’t want to look obsessed, its unbecoming.

Besides watching Heroes, there has been a lot of staring at myself in the mirror, improv’ing full dramatic Oscar worthy scenes, private rock concerts, full musical productions, and just some good old fashioned face making.

I have been doing a lot of imagining in general, lets call it visualization, Oprah’s a big one, and me being a ninja, like full on ninja assasin, in the past though, Feudal Japan, maybe because I’ve been reading Shogun, or maybe because I have a secret that lies dormant waiting for the perfect moment….BOOM!

Don’t be intimidated, I’m here to protect .

My enemies must have infected me with this flu! OMG its all making sense now, here I was thinking I got sick because no one at work washes their hands…how could I be so obtuse!?  Its so clear. OF COURSE! They are trying to hamper my moves…impossible.

Oh my Gosh, do you know what this means? If I am a ninja, then Oprah is definitely going to happen, I can feel it deep in my throwing stars.

Flu!

January 4, 2010 by kasij

I don’t think I’ve really had a proper flu since elementary school. You know the kind that hits you hard. Fever chills,  cold sweats, and all the other gross stuff we won’t get into. And let me tell you, its not fun, it makes me feel like I’m in second grade only without my mom to take care of me.

Although there is one positive to all this fluness, this morning at the doctor, they gave me a flu test…yeah… I didn’t know this existed either, It involves a translator telling you to sit very still and breathe through  your mouth and a dainty Japanese doctor man sticking a swab way up your nose and into your sinuses. For a moment I felt like I was in Ancient Egypt about to be mummified.   It sounds gross, but it kinda felt good in that gross way, you know when you have a sinus infection or are really stuffy, and all you want to do is just get in there and shake things up, thats what it felt like.  And then they sent me out to the waiting room About 5 minutes later I was called back in, and he shows me this little thing that looks like a pregnancy test, and it has one pink line growing darker and darker, and then the translators telling me that i have flu, the doctor points to the line and explains that its Influenza A, that it could be swine flu but there is no way to really differentiate at this point. All I could do was look at the test and say “Sugoi!” (cool) and you know what, I think I saw a smug sort of a smirk from ol’Doc, because he knows,  like I know, that this flu test is awesome.

So they gave me a ton of medication, which I’ve started and which is helping.

The bummer is I’m out of work for 5 days, and since I love work this is no bueno.

The plus side is that I get to do some hardcore TV watching, I’m catching up on Heroes to start, who knows whats next.

Okay, still a little delirious from the 12 hours of napping I’ve done today.

Jones, Out.
