You guys. I just saw some sweet pics of our “City Baby” Los Angeles premiere at the Dances With Films festival. I know we’ve all seen the red carpet pics in People and Perez, but here are some with people you might know! On a green rug!

You’re probably thinking — “How does she look so gorgeous in these obviously professional film festival photos, which we know are real because they’re standing in front of that curtain with the sponsors on it”. (I know I was!)

So, I decided to give away some of my very own Hollywood tips for getting great shots of yourself all the time. 

Maybe you don’t always have to walk the red carpet, but you can sure look like you could.

SECRET TIP #1: SECRET TIP #2:SECRET TIP #3:

Really, I could sit here all day, tipping you off to my own behind-the-scenes. Like: Make sure you haven’t gotten your hair cut in over 6 months… um, wear an outfit that makes you feel “eh, it’s ok I guess”, and, ah, OH — definitely DEF-IN-ITE-LY make sure you feel bloated….destroy a whole bag of Trader Joe’s Cheddar and Horseradish potato chips yourself, if you have to.

But, this is just boring “show biz talk”. Snore.

I’ve saved my best green carpet photo for last.

Ervin and I make a handsome couple, don’t you think?
