DJ Tanner and Lip Gloss (or Just Another Saturday in LA)

Posted on October 15, 2012 | 2 comments

This past Saturday, I happened to have the day off from my main day job. I was going to do some random work for friends, but I pretty much had the day off.

I was checking twitter (you all know how much I love twitter) and I saw that Candace Cameron Bure was tweeting about how she was selling lip gloss for charity at her kid’s hockey game. I guess a bunch of people tweeted back at her saying that they wanted to buy lip gloss, so she tweeted out again that she was only selling them out of the back of her car and you had to be in LA to get some.

Well, I’m in LA and I really needed lip gloss for my friend’s wedding coming up, so I tweeted at her and asked if I could buy some. And I was so excited to get a tweet back saying yes!

So I headed down to where she was, and the whole time I was thinking how the younger me would be totally freaking out that I was about to meet DJ Tanner from “Full House”! I loved that show as a kid, and even now, when there is a rerun on tv, I’ll still watch.

I got down to the practice, tweeted at Candace that I was there, and she met me at the front to sell me the lip gloss! And I have to say that she is the sweetest person I’ve met. We had a really nice conversation, and then she suggested that we take a picture so I could tweet it out (I love that I didn’t have to ask to take a picture).

 

Not only is it a great picture, but I absolutely love the kid posing in the background!

I didn’t want to take up too much of Candace’s time, so we said goodbye and I headed to my personal organizer job that I had that afternoon.

And the lip gloss that I bought, it’s pretty great and I got some nice colors!

Another LA Adventure (or It’s Drag Queen Bingo!)

Posted on September 6, 2012 | 2 comments

Last night, I was invited to go to Drag Queen Bingo at Hamburger Mary’s. I had never been before, and the celebrity caller for the night was someone who I had met before (she had sent me a facebook invite for the event).

We got there right before it started, paid our $20 for our bingo cards (we got extras for being facebook friends with the caller for the night), and got seated pretty close to the action. All the money went to an animal charity so I figured even if I didn’t win anything, I could feel good about donating $20 to a charity that I would support anyway.

I’m not a big bingo person. The last time I played was a few years back in Las Vegas. And then, I only played because we were waiting for a table at dinner and bingo was right there.

But this was really fun! The hostess for the night was Belle Aire. She had been doing this for 14 years, and this happened to be her last night. So there was a great crowd and an awesome vibe in the room.

One of my favorite moments was after each game. The winner takes a victory lap around the restaurant and everyone else crumples up their used bingo card and throws it at them. And there’s no mercy! When Jennifer Love Hewitt won, everyone had a pretty good time throwing their cards at her.

My friend and I didn’t end up winning any of the games, but that’s ok. It was just a great night out and I was constantly laughing. It was exactly what I needed.

When the game was done, we got our bill for our drinks and food, and the bill came in a stiletto.

That was pretty funny too.

And after we paid our bill and used up all of our bingo cards, it was time for the night to end. Mainly because there was also a 9pm bingo show and we had to clear out so the next show could start!

I said goodbye to Elaine Hendrix, who was the one who invited me.

And my friend and I headed out, passing the gigantic line outside for the 9pm bingo.

I had an awesome time last night. After feeling so low the past few days, this was exactly what I needed.

And if anyone out there wants to come to Drag Queen Bingo with me, I totally want to go again!
