Fundraiser!

So every year I participate in the 'Revlon walk for Women's Cancer' here in Los Angeles.  I have 2 legs and an amazing life.  Time to round up the troops and WALK to raise money for cancer research. I had to motivate the troops at the office and get everyone to help raise money... and drag their booties out of bed on time.

The amazing thing was that this event was the same evening 'Pretty Hurts' originally premiered on LOGOtv.  Looking back on that day it was one that was filled with amazing effort on the part of everyone at the office.  We are all incredibly busy at our jobs and were also preparing to have our lives splashed across national TV-  but we came together as a group and really worked to make a difference.

I hope that you have a charity or two that you you support.  It's amazing to help others out and it's good for the world.  Teach your kids to give often and expect nothing in return; set this example for you children and others that are around you.

I'm back and ready to BLOG

Ok my lovely humans ... I am well rested after a nice trip to Burning Man.  I had a fantastic time with all my friends.  My longtime friends from Alaska and Colorado were able to make it and that made the vacation even more amazing!

One minor problem ... my phone was stolen while I was at the hair salon right before I left for my trip.  I am sad to say that someone actually stole it.  I hope that the Karma monster bites you in the ass!  So that being said, I am also sad to say that there were a bunch of 'Pretty Hurts' photos on there.  Even a video of the Tappin' Twins doing their thing!  Arrgggg... and so we must move on.  Really it was just a phone.

On to the fun stuff!  We are eagerly waiting to see if we get picked up for a second season.  If you have not already, please write into :

Also go and like our fanpage on Facebook!  That page is done by Logo - so tell them you need to see Season 2!  Does Rand get back together with Curt?  Only we know here in the office; know that sometimes I want to strangle them both!

I'll follow this blog with some fun vacation photos in a few days.  Stay Tuned!

Episode 5 "Pretty Hurts" Time Hurts - dedicated to Rand Rusher ....

So this episode was a HANDFUL ... more specifically let me say the fight in the lobby between that pushy lady and the aussie guy was uncalled for. We don't take walk-in's at our office and that lady was so ...  #@%&%^*%$^%#**>  (insert what ever you like here)

You catch most of her pushy attitude on the episode ... what you don't catch is when that Aussie guy ("I wanna look like a shiny man doll") starts picking on her.  He actually called her names ... things that were not very nice.  I can't believe that they didn't show that on TV. Maybe they couldn't - I did have to scold them like children. It was very weird. Any way - Rand, if you are reading this ... I can't believe that you actually injected that walk in patient!  Next time - the gate keeper will keep the animals in the zoo in their separate cages!

Then of course we move onto Vivicca - who is hysterical and funny but again Rand if you are reading this ... poke them 1st and then talk! I am spending what I feel is like 25% of my life click-clacking my heels outside your door to get you moving!

Any ways - we also got to see Pam. The housewife with AMAZING jewelry.  We've know Pam for years and she is just so much fun. She is beautiful inside and out.  Maybe a little bit of it is Rand's help - but he keeps her in check.  Just like he said to her "You don't always need the things you want."

Rand is pretty smart ... that quote can be translated to a lot of thing in life.

"You don't always need the things you want."

Try telling that to the panicking actress I talked to on the phone on Friday...

Ok so I'm a little behind ....

Ok so when I was a kid I was a procrastinator when it came to things I should do for myself.  So ... It should not surprise you that I am behind on my blog, and that I am going to blog about something super "Hollywood" instead of the show today!  I'll come back to the show soon ... but for now. Red Carpet time!


So the cast of 'Pretty Hurts' was asked to attend this A-M-A-Z-I-N-G event on the Paramount lot.  It was the 6th annual "Life Out Loud" event to raise funds for Lifeworks.  This party is billed as "Pride Season's Hottest Party" ... AND it supports the LGBT Youth of Los Angeles.  


So we get to the event and right away as we are walking up I hear someone chanting my name "Elizabeth!... Elizabeth!" I look up and Ahhhhhh it's the red carpet coordinator - My new best friend!  The red carpet was amazing and I only stumbled a wee bit; not in the literal sense ... really just tripping over my own tongue.  

Mix and Mingle at a celeb-filled, cocktail party with music, food, and a silent auction at Hollywood’s famed Paramount Studios NYC Streets. So there was mixing and mingling ... I guess I am maybe a mini-celeb?  Even if I'm not - I tried to dress like one!  Do you LOVE the dress?  Dolce & Gabanna honey! The flying nuns said I had a fantastic body .. who doesn't love it when the people dressed up to entertain love you!   At the event they were honoring 2 extraordinary young people for their positive impact  - Mike C. Manning, Real World D.C. and Human Rights Activist - Zach Wahls, The Youtube Phenom who addressed the Iowa State Legislature in support of his 2 moms and Gay Marriage Here I am with Korbin and Mike Manning! He was so amazing and his mom was also there to see him accept this award.   She was front and center and so proud and emotional.  I love supportive parents!   From there we tooled around bidding on amazing silent auction items, noshing and drinking.  I didn't win any of the items I bid on.  Always outbid!  We headed over to the Lexus photo booth ... what do you think of this photo?  Looks like a Lexus ad doesn't it? After enjoying the lexus photobooth and the Lexus Lounge, We took part in the Barbie Collector Experience (gooo Red Head Barbie!), and enjoyed a special performance by Cortés Alexander (Liza at the Palace, The Tonics). I must say that Cortez is an amazing singer and person! He was so sweet to come down and talk and take a photo with me!  It was all in all an amazing evening.  I am so happy to be there representing 'Pretty Hurts' but more important lending support for the Lifeworks program! LifeWorks is a youth development and mentoring program at the LA Gay & Lesbian Center in Los Angeles. They offer one on one, peer, and group mentoring opportunities for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning youth ages 12-24.

"Pretty Hurts" Episode 4: Rand and Curt went to Canada ... I stayed home!

Hello my Prettys

Did you catch the Episode this Saturday?  I know it was a Holiday Weekend ... so maybe you need to still watch us on your DVR... or perhaps you need a little rest and relaxation time and catch a re-run on the LOGO website. For those tech-savvy people you can also buy us on iTunes!  Did you know that?

Anyway - this episode was all about Rand and Curt's adventure to pimp their wares at The Shopping Channel in Canada.  I think it was one of the best episodes so far. What do you think, Eh? The thing I love the most is that this episode really shows some of Rand's quirks.  :)  And also how much Curt expects Rand to do!

The really funny thing was that this episode also had a 2nd story to it. While Rand and Curt were out of town, I went to Rand's house to dog-sit his pooches. I know the main story was super funny, but the part where I watch the dogs turned into ... sigh....stupidness! Maya and Joy came over to Rand's and -girls will be girls- we stayed up watching Rand on tv. I am not going to give away anything .... I hope to convince them to give me some outtakes!!!!

Until next time my Prettys!

"Pretty Hurts" Episode 2 - Birthdays Hurt. Part 1: Janice!

Wasn't Episode 2 of Pretty Hurts even better than episode 1?

Sooooo much fun!  Raven came to the office ... She was just about the funniest lady in and out of a wig!  Maybe some day you will catch the B-roll where Raven EMBARRASSES the daylights out of out Polish Princess Maya! I have never seen Maya clam up so quickly after Raven commented on her weekend activities :O

And of course there is the lovely and wacky Janice Dickenson. That gal is a riot and a half! Rand did such a great job on her injections ... helped to soften and plump her up! Check out a few of our behind the scenes photos below.

Here I am with Janice! Since this is a Reality Show we never know who is actually walking through the door. She was super excited to be seeing Rand and obviously really liked what he did. We love making people happy! 

Here is another picture with Korbin from our office! You haven't met Korbin formally in any of the episodes .... but you see him there!  He's at both Rand's birthday and the book signing. Keep your eyes peeled for Korbin!

Here Janice is getting her make-up touched up by the amazing Cynthia Roman. She is a fantastic make-up artist that Pretty Hurts work with. She did my make-up for the NewNowNext awards!  Look at my earlier blog if you haven't seen my hot photos yet!

I'm going to end this Part 1 of this 2-part blog with this photo of Janice with Maya and Cynthia. What a cute photo!

Stay tuned for part 2 to my blog tomorrow. I'll let you all in on my secret talent that I got to share with the nation! I'll post a few of my aerial photos for you to see.

Later Prettys!

"Pretty Hurts" Episode 1: Mr Fix it

Hello my Prettys!

Did you enjoy the premiere of 'Pretty Hurts'?  Are you ready to get a little sneak peek behind-the-scenes? Every week I will post some behind-the-scene photos and commentary about the episode that has just aired!

Episode 1 - "Mr Fix It"

Well, the title of this one really did come from that article in W Magazine.  Rand was voted Beverly Hills' "Mr. Fix It". Rand enjoys helping people look and feel better about themselves.

Our first day of shooting, we really didn't know what to expect.  This is from my notes about the 1st day:

"It's our first day here and I am nervous!  Not really sure what to expect today.  But I know that everything is going to be great - I'm doing my job! How hard can that be? Very excited! We aren't actors - we are a real "work family."  We've know each other for over 5 years and I can say that I am happy to be here on this adventure with some of the people I care about the most."


Wow - thinking back to that first day is amazing!  We all reported for our call time ... some of us on time and some of us not so much!  You, my dear Prettys, will soon enough find out who was not on time! As I walked into the office I had been in for years, I never realized HOW big the production for TV it is!  People everywhere crammed in our office; at least 25 crew in all. They set themselves up to be out of the way of our daily life as much as possible.

It was amazing that Jeana Keough was one of the patients we saw that first day!  I love the 'Real Housewives of Orange County' and was so happy to see both Jeana and her daughter coming in together. It's always great to see women come and support each other in these types of situations; regardless if they are mothers and daughters, sisters or friends. Women, you should support your friends who may want a little freezer or filler. Don't be hatin'!

So I hope to have some fun photos and videos to share throughout; I have a few photos from the shooting of the opening sequence; here's the one from the opening sequence where you are looking down Rodeo Drive: this was shot on Via Rodeo very early in the morning.

You can see the 2 gals on the bench from the opening sequence talking to Gary Auerbach - Executive Producer and head of Go Go Luckey Productions.  Rand is in the background awaiting direction from Gary.

Here, Gary is either doing a walrus impression or he is telling Rand to smile a bit more!

Hope you all enjoyed the first episode of Pretty Hurts. Join me @elizajacobus on Twitter and check out my live Tweets during the episodes!

Also stay tuned later this week to see photos from the Premier Party for Pretty Hurts that took place at the Abbey in West Hollywood, and some tidbits about Episode 2. You will NEVER guess what I do, it will be a big surprise! I'll give you a hint: I'm going to leave you up in the air about what it is until then- hee hee!
