Karlita's Way

I wrote this a few months ago…and was too chicken to post it for some reason. Bok Bok! Maybe it was too personal? Maybe it struck up too many bad memories. Now I am saying….what  the heck. Have u seen the show “Married to Rock”? On E!?Its my new favorite thing. I want to bleach my hair blonde again and wear a massive padded bra just to fit in with them. I can find myself an over the hill rocker! Right? This is LA. Anyway, one of the girls is basically experiencing exactly what I did with her boyfriend. He refuses

Has anyone seen this show??? It is genius. In their quest to have a supermodel body before they are hitched and an incredibly fabulous dream wedding 12 engaged women are competing in various “reality show-esque” wedding inspired challenges on “Bridalplasty”.  It happens to be hosted by former Miss USA (and Miss NY) Shana Moakler, who directly affected my life many moons ago.  She inspired me to win Miss NY USA; it’s a long story but I thought she was awesome, still do. I have seen quite a few episodes of this show and each time I cannot believe it is

Who sings “Blue Christmas” and makes toy guitars? Elfis!hehehe hohoho!

69 years old. My Father just turned 69, like yesterday. The man is taking Salsa lessons and KILLING it. So much so that recently his ballroom school put on a showcase for the holidays. All of their star performers got on stage and showed their stuff, from salsa to bolero to swing and tango. They asked my Dad to do a 4 minute routine as well. Big Stuff for a man who just started taking lessons a few months ago. Apparently he is the most improved student with the most natural dance ability. My best friend Colleen and I attended

Merry Christmas everyone!My fondest memory of this particular holiday stems from our yearly tree. You see, unlike most children we weren’t allowed to decorate the tree, ever. Yes, I said…”weren’t” as in were NOT allowed.Upon strict instruction by my Mother, my brother and I were summoned to drag all the dusty boxes of decorations up from the dreaded haunted basement crawlspace but that was about it. Oh! Until january 7th when it was clean up time.  We were allowed to WATCH my Mom decorate the tree but HANDS OFF children!You see my Mother is quite particular about her Christmas tree. It

    I don’t have a washer dryer in my apartment. I got the apartment 7 months ago because it had a hookup for a washer and dryer. Specifically. And I still haven’t gotten one yet. So I’ve been going to the laundromat. My favorite part of the laundromat is the old people. Its like a casual meeting place for them. They chat and wash, and chat and dry, and chat and fold. They try to chat with the young people there as well. I find them so interesting. I imagine that they have some incredible stories to tell. Today

I am a genius!!!!I am currently taking an improv class. HotHouse Improv- John Thiess, my teacher…he is a genius, for real.During this last class I realized this:Most of my classmates are strangers as I just started taking Improv.I have to do RIDICULOUS things with them and in front of them with no inhibitions.Bark like a dog, speak fake German, act like a spastic clown in a wind tunnel..etc etc.I have to fully commit to these things therefore intimately revealing personal things about myself.Sometimes on purpose, sometimes by accident.(for instance, my “go to” every time I am stuck in a scene

With Reality TV completely taking over our televisions, air waves, and lives I would really like to challenge you all to count how many time you hear these 3 magic words: “in this house”. There is always some dirty chick with really bad exposed extensions in a cheesy cocktail dress complaining about how …… “I am the only one IN THIS HOUSE who has any integrity”,  “I don’t trust anyone IN THIS HOUSE”,  or“I never had sex with anyone IN THIS HOUSE”. YEAH OKAY!!!! All pretty much false statements but regardless….STOP saying “IN THIS HOUSE”. Frankly, its annoying.I am not sure why this bothers

I have a degree in Broadcast Journalism. I studied my ass off at a really competitive University. I have struggled for years in NY and LA auditioning, taking classes and honing my talents as a Host/Reporter/Correspondent for many years.So will someone tell me WHY I have agents telling me to go on a reality show to get a job? I have to get smashed in the face with a watermelon to get a job on the sidelines?I have to make out with a slimy Guido in a jacuzzi in order to anchor a morning show?I have to waste 3 months

I am back in the saddle my friends. Back on the dance floor once again. I have taken a bit of a hiatus from the dance world. I have missed it dearly.I rehearsed yesterday with two of my girlfriends, two extremely creative and talented dancers, for a show we are performing in on Monday. We are to be…..very innocent fairytale princesses of a specific kind that I cannot mention. We salaciously rip off our royal gowns and disrobe to reveal tawdry, burlesque lingerie.Innocent…..turned cheeky and naughty. Big surprise. I hung up my fishnets thinking my Bombshell days were over and done with but
