April 2009 Archives



Last night I attended a charity event hosted by Kevin Spacey in London. It was a private dinner in support of the Ecology Trust and the Aspinall Foundation at Ormeley Lodge. 

The Ecology Trust distributes funds to frontline and unsung organizations battling to protect the environment, both domestically and globally.  Whereby the Aspinall Foundation is a charity that sets out to protect threatened species such as elephant, rhino, cheetah, chimpanzee, mountain gorilla, African wild dog, and marine species such as the sea turtle.

It was incredible meeting Kevin Spacey.  He's a wonderful actor and I truly admire his work.  It was an honor to have been invited to his event not to mention the fact that it was for such a worthy cause.

I went shopping at Iguana in Hollywood a few weeks ago and since I'm somewhat of a vintage junkie, I thought it would be fun to bring a camera to share the experience with you guys!


What's your favorite vintage store???

Happy Earth Day everyone! 

Earth Day is an occasion where we all take the time to become more conscious of the way we treat our planet, but in reality, it's something we should be aware of every single day. 

It shouldn't take a holiday to remind us of the damage we've done to the earth.  Every single day should be spent doing little things to conserve energy and water.  Walk places!  Ride your bike!  Not only is it good for you, but you won't be emitting pollutants into the earth's atmosphere.  Obviously, conserving water is a big (and easy) thing to do.  Don't leave water running when you're brushing your teeth, limit yourself to 5-10 minute showers, make sure your faucets are never dripping, etc.  Another one of my favorite methods is to go to the grocery store with reusable shopping bags; it's a great way to save paper and plastic. 

One difference between Earth Day and your average day is that today is one that should really be celebrated!  Go outside and enjoy the beauty of nature!!!  Have a picnic with your friends or family...trust me, there's no better way to spend an afternoon. 

What are you guys doing to celebrate Earth Day???

Hey guys!  Over the past few days I've hit a few cities on the Cold War Kids tour (which I'll be posting tons of photos from soon) but I wanted to take some time out to share these photos with you.

They were shown in two separate issues of Cosmopolitan UK -- one being the May issue that I actually posed partially nude for.  It was a really incredible experience -- I was pretty confident about the shoot because I knew I would be somewhat covered.  I was definitely really excited about doing it because with all of the attention my body has been getting lately I wanted to show everyone that I am comfortable in my own skin.  It's crazy the way I'm labeled as too fat one minute, and then too skinny the next -- I am who I am and I felt that posing in Cosmo was a good way to express my sentiments on the matter. 

All of these photos were taken by Roberto D'Este, an incredibly talented photographer!

A few weeks ago I went to Reebok's Fit to Fly studio and tried a new workout called Jukari.  Reebok collaborated with Cirque du Soleil to create this fun and exhilarating workout which I would definitely do again! 

Would you guys try this???

Hey guys!  Sorry it's been a while since my last post -- I started production this week on the pilot I'm shooting in Montreal, A Beautiful Life.  I'm having an amazing time, but I'm super busy!

Anyway, just wanted to share a photo of this dress that Versace sent me to wear in the pilot.  It's from the Spring 2009 collection and it's basically my character's signature dress for the episode.  Isn't it stunning???

I'll try to post more pics of me actually wearing the dress but until then, just wanted to reveal this little detail!
