So not only do I not have cable, but I've been so ridiculously consumed with work this week that I haven't been able to watch the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race until tonight! Aw, poor Juju B went down in flames! How did that happen so fast?
I think they want someone so "fashion forward" because of the judges, particularly Santino. I don't think it matters too much in the drag world, but hye, Ru is miss "supermodel" so I guess that's whatcha get on this show.
And I love Raven, personally, but they formed the whole finale in favor of Tyra so it seemed like she should win. Plus, who wouldn't want a homeless young father to win? I mean, really. But I did not condone him stabbing Ju in the eye with his heel! Wtf, right? Or ripping off wigs? Not very ladylike behavior, lol.
Anyway, pretty good finale and I'm happy for Tyra. Leave me yer thoughts about this in the comments!!
Good night at work. But man, 42 nd st is sooo insane, even on Fri nite. It's a human jungle - I thought concrete jungle was referring to, well, the concrete and buildings, but it's really about the people running around screaming and being crazy like deranged hyenas. Hahaha. It was kind of fun to wade through, but I'm just like, I just worked, get me hommmme!
G'nite and yay for the weekend...gotta back on a more "normal" sleep schedule...

Artists Galore
Ha, an artist came into the shop today kind of out of it or stoned and said he was broke and just bought a water (we have a 2 buck menu! I wanted to scream but he was already onto other things). Anyway, we chatted a while and he gave me his website, but the exact page he gave me at first didn't have any photos or descriptions, just a location of his show. Well, after he left, I looked at it in more depth and he's...
a BEAR PAINTER! Lol, I'm paraphrasing, of course, but check it out.
Pretty awesome. A print of that one painting would be awesome in someone's living room. Hehehe, guess which one I'm talking about. Just curious if you can guess it.

work
I'm doing this night shift gig for mtv and it's fun so far. Well, not the hours, but I prepped this past wknd to be able to stay up. And the first day I started, or night if you will, Ric and I didn't see each other for a whole day and we live together, lol.
Anyway, the people are really nice here and although there's the avg amount of stress expected during post and during the process of selling a series to a network, everybody's rather laid back compared to some past people I've worked with (who shall remain nameless, muahahaha).
Well, guess what? This whole show is similar to MADE and the first episode is about this woman who lives in Canarsie and undergoes all of these steps to become a singer/performer. So of course I've watched tons of footage of her - at her home, with her kids and ex-husband and father, etc., and during every phase of this process. Today I came in to work and there she was! She was called in to do some v.o. for our rough cuts.
There's always a star struck feeling that I get meeting people whose lives have unfolded to me on the footage which I watch nonstop at work. She has a very cool and funky sense of style and today she was wearing white leopard tights. :) Oh, and she's quite slim - the camera added a lot to her. Movie stars must be stick thin, I swear. It's insanity.
Anyway, it was quite the cool experience. I was very nice to her but kind of in my star struck haze. Nonetheless, we made small talk.
So I'm still at work and about to drink my banana and spinach shake. Good times.
;)

Alissablog :)
Hi everyone,
So I've decided that in lieu of old-timey calligraphic quill-written letters (thanks for teaching me anyway, ma), or more "modern" methods of "expression" like facebook, I'm going to really concentrate on my blog. This way I get to post my photos to one place to people who care to look, and I also get to be a bit creative. Facebook I'll leave for lexulous playing.
So if you're out there thinking "whatever happened to alissa?" or "I wonder what alissa's thinking at this moment (or day)"? then you know where to click.
It's a fun project for myself and my loved ones that I hope you'll enjoy. You can leave wacky comments at your leisure. Hehehe.
The first photo I'm uploading is this flyer from my shop because I still laugh when I look at it. Kind of reminds me of Ricky from Better Off Dead. Ric sent it to his "guildmates" (gamers) and he thinks they all think that's him holding the drink, lol.

Lil adventure
Here's some pics of my s.o. and I on a trip to Lambertville, NJ.
We ended up walking over the bridge which was beautiful and before we knew it, we were in New Hope, PA. I think this is common knowledge amongst NJers, but it was a surprise for us! We'd like to go back and explore more soon. :P

Day About Town
I got out of NJ and wandered NYC the other day with my friend, cohort, and co-conspirator, Ian. I had never been to the Highline park so we wwalked around there and then wandered the Chelsea Market a bit.
Later we met up with Sean and went to the Ace Hotel lobby and then wandered a lot more and then ended up at an Irish pub on 2nd Ave.
Good times.

so sorrrrrrry
Yes, I've neglected this bloggy, sorry. I've been so busy trying to anchor the ship and get the tea house going.
For those of you who don't already know, I'm attempting to start a tea house.
camsteaparlour.com
After many negotiations, one spot fell through. People are not willing to give reasonable prices. And this landlord wanted me to pay his yearly increasing real estate taxes. Wtf? Maybe it was a ploy for me to be super excited when he took that clause out of the lease. I was not. So yeah, that was a bummer, but I knew nothing in this process would be easy.
Right now my main prospect is the Valley Arts District in Orange, NJ. I am very excited about this up and coming neighborhood that one "can't tell apart from Brooklyn" right now. Haha. Bringing me back to my roots, perhaps?
If you or anyone you know have any tidbits to share about this area, please don't hesitate to write to me at chevytothelevyfilms@yahoo.com or teatime@camsteaparlour.com.
Thanks!
In the meantime, I was recently a part of this art show. Small, but quite fun. I will post pictures as soon as I have them.
I put two pieces in the show and also read tea leaves as a performance piece. I did a bit of research into this process and it's really interesting! I'd love to get into it more and perhaps have tea leaf readings at the shop in the future.
