The Prayer Box Destroyed, and I’m Fighting it Forward

// August 15th, 2010 // 18 Comments » // Pray It Forward, Videos

You know what I don’t like?

Killjoys. Hopelessness. And the Negative Nancys of the world.

But you know what I really love?

Killjoys. Hopelessness. And the Negative Nancys of the world.

Here’s why: For every accomplishment in mai life, those naysayers had my panties so wadded into a bunch that standing around moping certainly didn’t straighten em out. Without these wonderful lil doom and gloomers, I would have never experienced what true joy, success, and faith feels like.  Read more...

2010 Daytime Emmys- The Official Recap

// June 27th, 2010 // 6 Comments » // Mai News

First off, thank you friends for all the luv this past week. So hectic! Not only was it a flurry of beautiful birthdays for dear friends, (including a special Bollywood birthday performance I will be posting this weekend!) but it was a collaboration of finding our Vintage chosen yellow lovely lil gal to dress my Emmy night fantastic. I finally found some simple strappies by Guess that had to be altered a bit (OK, I tore off the bow since I think you’d agree I’m a bit bowed out here), and sleek teardrop diamonds by LeVian to finish the look. I know I know… I didn’t do Beyonce pony (thanks for the votes!) but opted for a chic chignon after seeing the dress needed a lil twirly twist. Special thanks to my Pretty Posse, once again, who puts the strut to my Cinderella moments.  Read more...

// June 15th, 2010 // 7 Comments » // Pray It Forward, Videos

This Sunday I had the most amazing hike to my prayer box with my dear bro Jaeson Ma. He’s doing this awesome project called 365 days of Love where he does just that– discovers a new way to do an act of love every day. Well, I was so blessed to be a part of his project when he wanted to come hike with me to my Prayer Box! Here’s Jaeson’s take on our hike from his blog, www.JaesonMa.com:

I can’t help it. I’m normally not a groupie. I mean, yea I’ll take pics with cool California girls like this and all.. but shut up, don’t judge. Today was an entirely different story.

After my moment with Manny and Luke from ABC’s Modern Family, I was gayer than all the queens in West Hollywood. Oh Happy Gay Pride Day! Timmy.

Do you guys love this show? Please tell me you watch it!!

Worst Wardrobe Malfunk Ever. And by MY people…

// June 2nd, 2010 // 11 Comments » // Mai News

Dude. I can’t even speak right now. So I’m getting dressed for my show today, right? And I get this email from my mom: Subject line: “Carefully about the dress like this! PLEASE! Nobody want to see your panda eyes.” I’ll explain later.* Usually I delete her emails, but when you go talking about my “panda eyes”, um, I get very self conscious. So I open the email, and upon scrolling down, my jaw and laptop falls to the freakin floor. Are u kidding me here???

// May 26th, 2010 // 5 Comments » // A-freakn-men!!, Mai News, Pray It Forward

Thank you producer David Fleming, for announcing the video link so all that missed the feature about my PrayerBox can watch. And thank you to everyone who’s been sending forward so much love after seeing the piece. For all the prayers that have been sent, I’ll be taking it to the top of Runyon personally so keep em coming! Also,

for those of you with the great suggestions about a website for the box, I’m actually in the process of creating something even better. My own website is being worked on now, and besides fun fashion news and blog, it will house a specific section where prayers taken up to the box will be posted along with an area for those who can’t make it to the box to post your prayers on my wall.  So stay in touch by replying here so that I have your email for updates and keep sending me specific prayers. Until then, see you at the top as we Pray it Forward together!

What is my PrayerBox- on Fox 11 News TONIGHT

// May 25th, 2010 // 22 Comments » // A-freakn-men!!, Pray It Forward

Wow oh wow. Before I get into the exciting news for the box, let me explain what it is.

For those of you who have followed my blog, you also know about my beloved Prayer Box I’ve placed at the steepest tip top of Runyon Canyon, a beautiful hillside hike here in Hollywood, California. I first had the vision for this box 2 years ago after an overwhelming sense of gratitude for each day that I’ve taken to hike to the top to pray and “reset” for the day ahead. I wondered if every other person who takes the time to hike these two tall mountains felt the same way after reaching the top… knowing that no matter how hard it feels, how badly you don’t feel like doing it, if you believe and put your best foot forward, you WILL.  Read more...
