They made that show for me!

THE LOS ANGELES GODS ARE ALREADY CALLING MY NAME!

SO I gave in my e-mail in order to hear when they have open casting calls for the best show to be ever created on earth, GLEE! AND GUESS WHAT? THEY ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!! ON MYSPACE!!

Could this be a sign? They are looking for me, they know I am out their but they are struggling to see through all the 'gleeks' to find the biggest and best GLEEK OF ALL TIME!! MYSELF!!

I have been skipping around campus all day signing Glee after Glee song...

...and then I read the requirements - YOU NEED TO BE AMERICAN - Well I think Cory Monteith needs some good 'ol Canadian company, don't you? I mean, their is always room for one more foreigner. Right? RIGHT? PLUS I AM ALREADY DOWN THERE.

I can sing and dance like any other American. Actually, I can sing, dance and act BETTER then any of those millions of myspacers that will be auditioning...all 300 million of them...oh goodness...I'm gonna pass out. Well it looks like this whole thing is gonna be a bit harder then I thought...

I will leave you with this...GLEE Defying Gravity

Options?

OK, so I haven't made any NEW options on polyvore but here are some looks that I can pull together. I realize that there is a lot of black, but I like black and black is slimming. There are some more daring looks that may seem a little to 'grown up' for a 20 year old, but I love them regardless (and to be honest, most of these looks were inspired by photos of people taken by the Sartorialist).

I feel like this look is sort of 'safe' but it is a great go to that I can pull together so easily.

Another fun option...I'm just gonna post all of them and if you like one, let me know!

WOW okay so maybe this is TO many options and I have now flooded my page with pictures, but WHATEVER! How is a girl to choose?

Another thing to keep in mind that is is going to be near 20 degrees this week in Toronto (WOO HOO) and since it is basically spring (I saw a robin today so I figured...) I can totally wear white pants or a skirt.

I ALSO have this FABULOUS feathered skirt I would love to wear but they don't have a good enough similarity to it on polyvore, and the options they have do not do this skirt justice. I just thought I would toss that out their as well.

GOOD TIMES IN THE LIBRARY...

LES FILLES, JE T'AIME

Just had a FANTASTIC weekend with some even MORE fantastic girls! I ended up planning a last minute dinner party which turned into and Earth Hour candle lit dinner. Every girl at the table has big plans and big dreams that they wish to accomplish sooner rather then later, in their life.

Firstly, my super hot, beauty of a friend Sabina (you can follow her blog SabinaBabalina, which I have posted on the side) just got back from a trip to L.A. as well and she got me ALL TOO excited for my departure date. Sab models and also really wants to get her career and her beautiful bum out to L.A. full time! She is such a confident girl and met some really cool and fabulous people while she was out there.

Funny story, which she told me about a few nights ago, was our mutual friend Lauren was telling a handful of people that she was her publisher. All of the sudden, people were dishing out their cards like perfume samples! I mean, we don't know who did what and what these people wanted from her, but it was a creative way to put her face out there.

Our NUT of a friend Lauren, (who is also brilliant, fun and just down right hilarious) is currently making all of the girls at our dinner, business cards to hand out like candy at hallowe'en!

Now where do we plan on handing these cards out? Toronto Fashion Week of course (well maybe not actually, but we are certainly going)! Lauren, Sabina and my long-legged friend Kristin are all working backstage and around the shows doing fun shenanigans...I probably shouldn't be saying the following but seeing as I only have 5 followers at the moment...one being my mom - HI MOM - the girls plan on sneaking myself and the rest of our 'Earth Hour Dinner Crew' in, to rub shoulders with the best dressed people in Toronto.

Maybe this will be a bit of a head start and a practice round for my confidence level. I shouldn't be afraid to put out my hand, introduce myself and strike up a conversation (I've done it to Meryl Streep - no word of a lie).

I guess the next question is WHAT TO WEAR? I'll do some research on polyvore.


p.s. I've started packing.

FLIGHTS ARE BEING BOOKED

Well now that my apartment is GUARANTEED my flights are being booked at this exact moment!!

Besides the excitement of my arrival I have already started to build and work on my connections. Easter Monday I am having lunch with Mr. and Mrs. A ... I won't include their last name for I feel it is a bit rude of me to discuss people who are completely unaware of the fact that I am speaking about them. Anyways, there son is a famous Canadian actor, comedian, director...etc. who currently lives in LA with his wife and kids. Mr. and Mrs. A have so sweetly invited me for lunch to discuss my plans and set up some fabulous dinners with fabulous people during my time in California! I am OVERLY grateful that they are doing this for me and really need to think of a clever or nice gift to bring them at lunch (any suggestions?).

I also happen to be reading Mr. A's successful book that has sold more copies then he ever expected, which I think is fabulous! Telling you the title may give away who these people are, especially if you are secretly obsessed with ghost stories as I am (I am a HUGE fan). So if you have a bit of a fetish like I do I would seriously suggest getting off your bum and purchasing, "A History of Ghosts". It is SO fascinating! Hopefully I'll have some interesting stories after the lunch for you (whether it be about ghosts or not).

On another note, I just found out my HILARIOUS friend Lorne is going to be in LA as well! I am ecstatic to have another friend down there so we can be lost and confused and flustered together.

Besides Lorne, one of my oldest friends, Matt has just moved down their to work on his music full time (pending working visa, my fingers are crossed for him too). He is immensely talented ... Matthew Genovese's Myspace

Check him out and SUPPORT! My personal fave is 'Stop Wait Turn Around' (very catchy). I've tried to convince him to write a song about me but apparently my name is too difficult to incorporate into a song... But I can tell you THIS, that he currently wrote a song with SOMEONE from 90210 for that SOMEONE and that SOMEONE is producing it! AH, CONGRATS MATT!

Okay, that is my blurb for the day!

I'm obsessed...

So I should be doing school work, but I am too impatient and TOO excited to get out of this terrible weather. My beautiful friend (and model) told me about this website where you can shop, put outfits together and get suggestions as to what would look good with a studded boot, sequin crop top, WHATEVER.

So after about three hours I came up with about 20 different outfits based on clothes I have, similar clothes I have and my personal style. I think they will all do me well in LA, weather permitting. ALSO, just because I included a Burberry trench, doesn't mean I own one...I would like too...(I can already here Rodeo Drive calling my name). I just needed a trench to complete 'the look'.


I'll include my personal fave's ...

I'M OBSESSED, I may not go buy the $1,500 Mulberry bag, but I mean, the rest won't be hard to do. I've already got the denim.

SO I actually own the shirt and shorts, but can we please talk about that DELICIOUS looking bag? 

Can you tell I had SO much fun doing this? People are really good at it, they do backgrounds, have themes and stuff... I was just more straightforward but whatever.

I'm not gonna lie...I own a sequined silver crop top. This look was actually inspired by my friend who showed me the website! I was showing her my new additions to my closet as I have an addiction for online shopping.

You should ALL check out this website, it's really cool.... http://www.polyvore.com

Apartment!

I HAVE BOOKED MY APARTMENT! Things are really coming together for me! I can officially book my flights! Although, I just realized there is no picture of a bathroom and they didn't mention one...HA. I mean, they have to have one, right? Great...well here is my one bedroom, sans bathroom apartment...

It's nice right? I mean, it's clean and white and in the most PERFECT LOCATION in order to get my shopping fix every so often!

And it all starts now...

Well, I am going to admit a few things to you right off the bat, beginning with the fact that I have never done a blog before. I am not from Los Angeles nor have I ever been - I am Canadian, but as it so turns out, I will officially be in LA in 19 days, 7 hours, and 48 minutes...give or take a few. I don't have a solid plan for when I arrive, although I have finally found an apartment in Beverly Hills - about four blocks away from Rodeo Drive. I have few friends out there who won't have much time to see me.

Now at this point it's all sounding sort of lame - minus the fabulous one bedroom apartment in Beverly Hills - but the real reason as to why I am going out there is to pursue my acting career...or just acting (so far there is no career, just my role as Sister Amnesia in my high school's musical - yes, I was a singing nun.) Now I KNOW how unrealistic this career path sounds and I may not be the skinniest of skinny girls out there, but I've got the confidence, the style, and I've been told, a winning smile.

...I just realized I forgot skills...acting skills...yes, hopefully those too...

Now I won't be thanking my orthodontist in my Oscar winning speech for my pearly whites (she hated me anyways) because clearly no one is going to hold me up on a pedestal for smiling pretty. I've got a handful of connections out there that I plan on getting in touch with and I plan on shaking hands with everyone in order to get my name and face out there.

This is my chance to do something, and start a career and be serious about something I love regardless of how difficult it is going to be.

I have 61 days in LA and that's a lot of time to make a good impression on the right people. I just need to be able to trust myself and find something valuable to do with my time there so I can return to the following summer with a more solid game plan.

I am writing this blog pretty much for anyone who is interested. I guess it may become something of a map for people who are wanting to do the same thing as I am. I'm gonna make mistakes and I know others can probably learn from them. It's a big and scary business, and maybe if I write it all down, I can keep track of where I've gone wrong and hopefully, what I am doing right.

Not only will I talk about my acting career...which is currently at ground zero, but I will also talk a lot about fashion. My wardrobe is too big for my closet and my taste is above what my mother and my bank account would enjoy. I've got quite an eye for it and if this acting thing fizzles out, it's what I plan on turning to. But if I'm going to be living in LA I might as well be 'Young, Fabulous and Broke'.

Oh ya, my name is Liv.

Keep your fingers crossed, and hopefully I make it big.
