Interesting thing happened to me the other day.
Went to a Chamber of Commerce Trade Show and was approached by a director/producer of some independent films who happens to be the founder of an international film festival I would like to attend and maybe volunteer with.
I actually checked his credentials and he was legit, with multiple news clippings about him. There are a lot of film submissions from around the world for the film festival, and he seems well connected in the community.
At first things seemed harmless; he just said he needed "smart" people on his team. He wants me to be either the celebrity liaison or in submissions outreach for this big extravagant "Hollywood-style," gown-wearing red carpet night at the performing arts center film festival.
BUT Later on, he asked me interest questions like: oh you do jewelry, so what is your favorite gemstone. and "we should go for coffee," which I turned down.
After I said I can't, he talked more but then followed it by a "next time I call I'm going to ask you about going to watch a movie and go for coffee to talk about your jewelry."
The next day, he emailed me with an invite to the gala at the red carpet opening night at the Phil Center of the Arts. That was fine, but
then he wrote " I didn't forget about the movies. How about Sunday night?"
How do I turn down someone without being mean?
I'm still really interested in helping out with the film festival! It sounds like such an interesting opportunity and I don't want to offend the founder! How do I casually mention my bf?
Help girls! I asked my bf (bf if you're reading AHEM) but he said I'm on my own because he's already warned me about the guy.
STrange Men.
Anywho.....
Did you guys know that Emmy Rossum had an album??
Maybe I'm late in discovering but beautiful and ever so talented Emmy Rossum from the movies Phantom of the Opera, The Day After Tomorrow, Poseidon, and Dragonball Evolution had a cd out back in 2007. In it is the most amazing song I recently discovered. Wished it was sooner!
The song "Slow Me Down" is such a beautiful and meaningful song about the rush of everyday life and the discovery of love that puts everything back into perspective. It sounds like an acappella with a marriage of her voice creating a breathy, beautiful piece of music. It's very soothing, at least to me =P.
The music video is so beautiful as well. She's such a natural beauty. Her voice is so amazing!
So sorry, embedding is disabled on the original video. Usually I'll find just the song, but the video is just so expressive. Here is the Youtube link:
lol. This is what I do on late late Saturday night.
Enjoy! and Happy Sunday!
