Emmy My Love

So I know you're thinking, "gosh i wonder what Val was up to sunday night?" "Oh she's probably at her usual Emmy-sunday ritual of sitting in front of the tv, watching the pre-pre show, the pre-show, the emmys, and then the post-show. Well you would be right, except THIS year, I got to GO to the Emmys!!!! yes! i found out on saturday that a friend of a friend had a date that canceled last minute.

Sunday night was pretty damn cool. sorry i don't have pics at the show, but i didn't think they would let cameras in. so the dress is a red halter dress that goes to my knees. I found it at 'It's A Wrap' - a thrift store for clothes used in movies and stuff. $33!! can't beat that.

we didn't get to walk on the main red carpet, there is another side red-carpet entrance right next to the main one. that's where all the "less important" people get to go. and yes, the seats were on the balcony level towards the back. ha!

the shrine auditorium is awesome. seems like the thing to do is hang out at the bar in the lobby area and schmooze with everyone. i didn't do that, but def next time!!! anyway, the "less important" red carpet did have a few stars getting their pic taken, so i will be checking all the magazines w/ emmy pics. i did walk right behind Neil Patrick Harris and a couple girls, i didn't see who they were. i considered stopping to pose, i wonder if they take your picture even if they don't know who you are?!! ha!

it was very cool to see it live. although we were so far away, we were watching the screens most of the time anyway, so not much different than being at home. and i did get to see an emmy up-close that someone was holding as we were walking out. so gorgeous!! i can't wait to get one.


luv ya,
val

My Induction into the CIA

So my wonderful day working background on the set of Alias was the coolest. We spent the first half of the day with Jennifer Garner in a casino in “Monte Carlo”. Which was at the Biltmore Hotel. She’s very pregnant and still smokin hot in disguise.

I knew they were shooting more scenes afterwards in “The Shed”, one of the CIA offices. So early in the day, I informed a couple people that I would be happy to stay for those scenes just in case someone didn’t show up. I even brought wardrobe for it just in case. So I guess my charm and spy good looks can get me somewhere cuz they let me stay!

I was very excited to see Amy Acker on the set. She has a recurring role this season! Didn’t see my man Vartan though. I guess he’s still in a coma at this point in the season. Episode 4.

Anyway, I had a blast. Very long day. I was there from 5:30am till 9pm, but I would have stayed much longer. And I hope they call me again for more Shed scenes. Love it!!!
