Dear MeMo & Sha ~
I'm a jewelry designer...I could be a plumber...I could be a base-ball coach. In California, Los Angeles in particular, the "Casting Couch" is inevitable. No matter what your dreams and goals are. It's amusing...and it's infuriating. It doesn't matter if your a man, woman or both. The vulnerable positions we all seem to find ourselves in are stunning. Completely beyond me. Yes, it's true that the "Magic of Hollywood" is in fact magical. So many people through out the world, have been influenced by classic Hollywood A-listers...even B, C and D listers! Some of these celebrities are very good "PEOPLE". Why though as an up and coming designer, do I find myself trying so hard to get into "the industry"??? For goodness sakes, I have stage fright! I have absolutely no desire to be on camera, unless it's my pipe-dream of the reality show I've created in my head. The reason I've done that though is to get my brand "out there". The more I sell, the more I can give. It's a very wicked web we weave out here in "The City of Angels". Sex, drugs and rock & roll. That about covers it...unless your an outcast...a desperate house wife...or a "regular joe"...Who by the way, I've yet to meet in the almost nineteen years I've lived here ( that includes my first six on earth). How tangled a mindset to watch our backs in even trying only to do good??? We work hard...we fight for our families, we give all that we can to help others...and yet at some point or other, out here anyways, we all get royally screwed. It's frustrating...AND it's a HUGE motivational point. What if I, MELLI, become such a power house out here, that I'm able to change that? I'm going to climb this mountain...taking one step at a time...none of which will be on anybody's head...and make my way to the top. When I'm there, I'll call out below, "no worries, there's NOT a couch up here...not as long as I can help it". ;) Wish me luck...as I wish you!
Quite Kindly,
Melli D ~
