Friends of mine who have always been amongst the top of those in the modeling industry as “elite chicago” have evolved into a fairly new agency called “factor women” and today I am giving them a huge shout out for more than just their good looks!
Due to tough economic times, loss of incomes, a lot of parents have been struggling to provide for their families, much less give their children all the luxuries of toys & games that many of us are privileged to have. Luckily, the amazing chicago modeling agency, Factor Women, is putting on a toys for Tots Drive on Tuesday, July 20th between 9am-5pm at the Factor Model Management office on 58 W Huron. Please help this awesome cause and bring in some unwrapped toys (or cash) to help out our fellow neighbors, and the future neighbors of our great city!
I’m sure you can tell from all my stories and pics on twitter that macy gray is not only my good buddy, but one of my favorite female singers of all time! if don’t know her, she’s a super sweetheart, a 2 time Grammy winner, a great mom, has sold more than 15 million records, and is just an absolute talent- and riot! (pic of us at grammy’s this year)
I especially got to give her huge props for her newest CD, “The Sellout.” after not being happy with the outcome of her previous project, “Big,” she holed up in a recording studio with just a few select friends and musicians, and killed it w/this new creation, as you probably saw in the past couple weeks on Jimmy Fallon, Good Morning America and The View… so spread the word and pick up her songs on itunes or Amazon today!
Oh, and if want to see her in person in chicago, she is performing at the annual Macy’s Glamorama 2010 on August 13th to benefit the Ronald McDonald Charity which I love! This event is truly one of the best of the year– a mix of fashion, music and charity always makes for a great combo. Read more for full Glamorama info….
If you follow me on twitter, you know my life is crazy, and that last weekend was no exception. Photos showed me splitting a bottle of patron tequila w/ buddy John Mayer at underground, vacuum packing Jeremy Piven’s cell phone in rice after he dropped it in the toilet at sunda, jumping on a dozen tv & radio stations live talking about raising money for art & theatre programs for kids, taste testing more food than most eat in a week, trying to fit more crazy tasks & adventures in a day/night than humanly possible to do whatever I can for my team & city!
It occurred to me though that some of you aren’t following me on twitter and are missing out on it all! That’s not good! So I included a sample of my tweetpics / life in the last couple days here so you can get a feel for what you are missing! It’s always random, always crazy, always entertaining.. and most important.. a great way to stay in touch and create a relationship as I have with so many others! Enjoy- and then click here to follow me on twitter too!
jeremy piven dropped his phone in the toliet & i took it & vacum packed in rice at sunda right before we hit rockit & the underground- he tweeted to 1.1 million people- hilarious!
interesting that this all started w/ annual checkup (i know TMI) & fell before my big press push to raise money to support kids, art & theatre. all is good even though my back is out!
on kiss w/ ty for big give away & supporting the arts & theatre! not only was the winner awesome, but she also had the most amount of people tweeting at us- another reason to follow me on twitter!
as soon as we got to sunda- jeremy drops his phone in toliet! funny bc he was saying how he just how he shot an episode of entourage last week where he did the same thing!
this pic represents all the craziness that happened at the underground on twitter- for those pics gotta follow me on twitter- gotta save something for my followers!
next morning working on blog- got asked to be on pride float but tv manager would kill me if missed flight to NY- coming home tomorrow to do it all over again!
