Stacy's Ass...

I went to a going-away-party for a young actress/model friend who's moving to L.A. to seriously pursue her acting career in the entertainment industry. She started by having her current employer (Red Robin restaurants) transfer her to a store in L.A. Now she's headed down there.

My observations about her: LOADS of talent, very easy on the eye, truly friendly, sincere, and easy to get along with. Downsides: she's very religious to the point of being potentially off-putting. While this is a positive attribute when it comes to her work ethic, and her 'cleanliness' relative to drugs & alcohol, it makes her a potential victim of those who desire to control and manipulate.

I can totally predict her 'relationship future' in L.A.: meets that smarmy, yet dishonest "some guy" who gives lip service to religion to 'get inside her pants', and quickly becomes a drain on her life - financial, emotional, etc. I see these qualities in my friend's 'roaming-hands-step-father-with-a-bull-shit-opinion-on-everything', [who she's moving to L.A. to get away from - whether or not she'll admit it]. My 1-hour exposure to this step-parent convinced me (have I seen this pattern before? hmmmm...) family history is doomed to repeat itself.

But, of course, having a Mid-Life Bachelor even befriend (much less give advice to) a girl half-his age makes him an instant sexual suspect. In this case, while she indeed has the greatest derriere I've seen in a VERY long time... she's not a romantic interest. I'm probably more religious than she is, but I have other places for my life energy. Something we have in common is wanting to work on our entertainment industry careers. She's got the upper hand on me in this regard - she's taking steps to 'do something about it', while I've kept the tech-career going with the LATENT intent of 'funding my PASSION for filmmaking/acting/sound-work'. She's DOING SOMETHING, while I'm still WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.

But not for long... ;?>
