Jesse Draper Interview

Runway is celebrating 10 years of worldwide distribution and 20 years in the tech marketplace, but finding something new is a talent of its own. Our media is to celebrate what is good in life and the people that bring those new flavors to us. For those of you whom do not know Jesse she is a key mind helping shape our future with the world of investing by funding women in consumer businesses from  fashion and beauty to healthcare. Jesse has made it her life’s work to change the gender ratio at the CEO level first through her Emmy nominated talk show ‘The Valley Girl Show’ where she was the first talk show to ever make it an initiative to interview 50% women in business and now through her venture capital fund Halogen Ventures. Some of her portfolio companies include: WERK, Flex. Carbon38, BlockCypher, Beautycon & Sugarfina.

 

Hello Jesse,

 

You look great today, what are you wearing?

Thanks so much. I depend on Carbon38 for most of my comfortable wardrobe attire, especially while I’m pregnant and larger than usual.  Today I am wearing a red Carbon38 dress from their Passport collection. I also like to spice up my work attire with one of my rental items from Armoire, a great rental service for boss ladies like me. Ambika, the founder is trying to take the pain out of getting dressed and keeping you looking fabulous while saving you time.

 

Tell us about your daily schedule?

My son wakes me up every morning somewhere between 6AM and 6:30AM and demands a smoothie. He is obsessed with the blender so I usually sleepily make him some kind of smoothie while he yells ‘I want to use the blender smasher’ at me in my sleepy haze (for those of you unfamiliar, that is our technical term for the thing in the vitamix that mashes the fruit to help make a smoothie smooth). I then get dressed for the day and try to do at least an hour of uninterrupted email before the chaos begins. My beauty regimen is so fast because I never know if it will be interrupted by my son, husband or someone else. Then COFFEE.  At that point I head to our Halogen office or to my first meeting. Depending on the day I usually have a meeting or call with one of our companies, am running around town to meet with an investor or speaking at some kind of entrepreneur oriented event. I think I am a pretty typical working Mom.  Today, I had a few back to back networking with other VC funds to share deals.

What is your favorite thing in your closet and why?

 

What is your favorite thing in your closet and why?

I love leather jackets. I definitely collect them. I think my all time favorite item is my All Saints leather jacket, that and the Wonder Woman boots I keep in there. You can really get away with wearing a great leather jacket anywhere and with almost anything. I love it when they are broken in to the point that they fit you like a glove.  I will wear them over dresses, jeans, you name it. I feel like myself when I am in a leather jacket and jeans. If I had it my way, I would be in a great pair of jeans, stilettos and a leather jacket every day.

 

So, what is on your horizon, what is next?

I just closed my first fund for Halogen Ventures which means I basically collected or raised a pool of money from other investors that is now for investing in women run companies like Carbon38, Armoire, Senreve, Vida all the way to our breast pump company Naya Health and our transportation company Hopskipdrive. I am now focused on investing that money and I see fund 2 on the horizon. I’m also pregnant with my second kid.

 

What are you most proud of? What is your greatest achievement.

Inside the Story

First and foremost, my son. He is 2 and a ball of fun. Professionally, I am really proud to have successfully raised a fund focused purely on investing in women run tech companies. Not many people have been successful doing so in the past. Previously I ran a technology talk show that for 10 years called ‘The Valley Girl Show’. We were nominated for an Emmy which I consider a great achievement in another element of my life. I’m also proud of my ability to fly as not many humans can do that.

 

What is the best product you ever worked with?

There are so many great ones. One of the products I am most excited about right now is Preemadonna, the first NailBot that prints a picture in under 2 seconds directly onto your nail. You could take a picture of the sunset you are looking at and 2 seconds later have it on your nails. The technology is incredible and I can’t wait for you all to see it in the market.

 

What do you think of crypto-currency and how to you think RUNWAY will fair with its new ICO (RUNWAY COIN) www.runwaycoin.org opening to the public in February?

I’m so impressed that RUNWAY is going to have an initial coin offering! That is fantastic. It is the way of the future and I think it will make the financial world a simpler place and overall the world will be  better place. We have a great blockchain company called Blockcypher that is like Amazon web services for blockchain and they are doing incredibly well. I am excited to see what happens in the next 5 years.

 

What schools do you work with?

I try to stay involved in the schools I attended. I went to a small high school called Menlo in Northern California and I went to UCLA for my BA. I now do a lot with UCLA’s entrepreneurship programs and women’s organizations. My mom also went to an all girls college called Smith that I like being involved with as well. She launched a business plan competition there for universities across the country that has done really well.

 

Do you work on any non-profits? Tell us about them.

Career and Creative Process

I work with an organization called Bizworld that my Dad started when I was in 3rd grade to teach kids about entrepreneurship. It is now in 80 countries and has taught thousands of elementary students how to look at the world as a business. My grandmother has had Parkinson’s disease for 40 years so I am also involved in the Parkinson’s Institute.

 

What do you drive on a daily basis?

Hopskipdrive because it’s a safe on demand service for kids and childcare. They are the only ‘uber like’ service that fingerprints which terrifies you when you realize who you are getting into the car with in an uber or lyft. I’m a terrible driver. I may be one of the only people you will ever meet who has gotten not one but 2 speeding tickets for going over 110MPH (they were both on the 5 freeway for those of you curious how I can go that fast in LA). I have drastically slowed down since having kids but I still have friends and family who won’t get in the car with me. I’ve gotten a letter from the governor suggesting I stay off the road.

 

What kind of pets do you have?

I have a King Charles Spaniel named Archie who I consider to be my first born. He has been with me for almost 12 years and I love him so much. I named him Archie after Archie comic books  as I am a huge fan and collector.

 

If you could only have 1 pair of shoes what would they be?

I prefer to go barefoot. Shoes are overrated. I’m always figuring out how long it is until I can take off my shoes. I take them off under tables, at the movies, at weddings. However, as this is not totally acceptable in my everyday life, I can always count on a great pair of tieks ballet flats because they are as comfortable as being barefoot.

Phillip Keene Interview RUNWAY magazine 2017 Winter issue

Phillip Keene Interview RUNWAY magazine 2017 Winter issue

What are you up to these days?

I just finished looping a film I shot in early November. Other than that, I’m concentrating on getting myself back into fighting shape. Between seasons or jobs, I like skiing, golfing, surfing, swimming, and yoga. I’m also getting back into the saddle because I feel like horseback riding is a valuable skill. But I’m also looking to develop my own acting opportunities during down time. Creation and recreation sometimes go together.

 

What designers are you into this season?

It’s hard for me to drive past the Paul Smith store, and that’s more true than ever in 2018. But I’m also finding some fun things coming from Orlebar Brown and Bonobos. For casual, everyday wear, Wil Stiles has short sleeve shirts that don’t make me look like a tourist.  I think the Fred Perry slim fit polos manage to be both laid back and dressy enough for a dinner out in Palm Springs (depending on what you wear with them!). If I were in my twenties though, I’d probably go broke at Gucci right now. I wandered into one of their stores the other day, and it put a big smile on my face. For jeans, I’m loving the way my A.G.s Matchbox fit. 

 

What is your favorite pair of shoes?

I’m tempted to say the orange pair of Swims I probably wear way too much, because those are the ones people notice and, as an actor, I sometimes like a little attention. But, my absolute favorite footwear are these boots from Taft – black wool and leather – that give me style without being in any way uncomfortable. And who doesn’t need a great pair of black shoes?

 

What about hobbies?

Inside Phillip Keene Interview RUNWAY magazine Winter issue

In addition to all the sports, I’m an avid collector of Pan Am memorabilia: posters, badges, china from first class, menus, blankets, dozens and dozens of uniforms, matchbooks, travel bags, decks of cards, historical records, designs of the jets, you name it! As someone who used to fly for Pan Am, I have an attachment to the company that is both professional and deeply personal. It’s the job during which you might say I came of age. Collecting bits and pieces of Pan Am is a bit like sorting through my youth. It also helps me remember that I was lucky enough to be a small part of a great story.

 

Tell us about your time at UCLA?

I went to college in my thirties. It was interesting being surrounded by younger people all the time, but odds are I was a lot more focused on learning than I would have been in my twenties (when I couldn’t resist invitations to parties and nightclubs). I found writing papers extraordinarily difficult. I would almost rather swim with sharks than compose another essay. I ended up getting two degrees, one in history and one in art history. I have a recurring nightmare where a UCLA administrator pulls me out of class and says, “We’re very sorry, but we made a mistake and you shouldn’t be here.” I think that pretty well covers how I felt about myself during that time. I grew up in financially challenging conditions and neither of my parents had ever gone to college. Getting those degrees helped me realize I could do more than I thought I could. It gave me the courage to try acting, which was something I had wanted to do all my life.

 

What is it like doing so many episodes? What are the challenges?

Inside the Story

Filming over two hundred hours of television and playing the same character means you have to keep finding ways to make it fresh without stepping outside the lines you established in the beginning. Also, actors mostly learn the job in public. The hardest thing on earth is leaving the set knowing – absolutely certain – that you didn’t do as well as you would have liked. You have to accept it very fast, and come back in the next day, let go of all your internal criticism, and give it your best shot again.  If you’re lucky, and you try hard, you get better as you go along. I put my whole heart into the role of Buzz Watson, and I hope I made the most of the opportunity. The last thing I’ll say is that I am nothing at all like Buzz, but I will always be grateful to him. That sounds odd, but it’s the truth.

 

What is your favorite suit?

You would have to knock me unconscious to take one of my Paul Smith’s from my closet, but my favorite suit is a bespoke number I helped design using elements available at Klein Epstein Parker. They custom make every part of the garment according to your own measurements and specifications. And I love the way people react to it. 

 

Do you like watches?

I’m not a jewelry person, although I’ve given in a bit to the bracelet trend. I admit to liking a Deco inspired Bulova and a Rip Curl I wear surfing. Is that too low end? I have a Mont Blanc for dressier moments but, honestly, I don’t like to wear watches at formal events because I hate to be seen checking the time. And I will!

 

Tell us about your home front.

Career and Creative Process

I’m married and we divide our time between L.A. and the desert. We also love traveling to Europe – when practical – and New York during the fall or spring – if we can get a good rate on a nice room. No children, but four godsons and two goddaughters, and they really do make up an important part of our daily routine. In addition to family, we have a lot of Closer/Major Crimes alumni in our lives, plus a large circle of extended friends. We are lucky, lucky, lucky. I am at a place where my needs are mostly easily met, I’m in great health, and my biggest challenge is how to achieve artistic goals. Oh. And how to convince my husband to separate his laundry from his dry cleaning. I want to believe he’s trying, but after living with him for twenty-five years, I’m beginning to have doubts.

 

Do you do any charity work?

I don’t think of it as charity work, exactly, because that’s mainly done by the people who run these amazing foundations, but I volunteer a lot with the Sunshine Kids, a group that brings children battling cancer together so that they can meet other youngsters fighting the same fight. We take them to Disneyland, help them get sworn in as police officers for a day, and go with them to the beach. Working with the Sunshine kids is an amazing experience. G.W. Bailey, who played Lt. Provenza, is the President of their foundation, and J.K. Simmons, who played Asst. Chief Pope in The Closer is their spokesperson. I also contribute to Covenant House and their mission to help young homeless kids. And I’m on the Director of Communications for the Board of the Pan Am Museum Foundation, which presents exhibits at the Cradle of Aviation Museum on Long Island.

 

Where can we find you on social media? 

I am on Instagram under Phillip Keene, and Twitter @phillipkeene and Facebook at Phillip P Keene.

10 Reasons Sex Is Good for Your Health and Longevity

10 Reasons Sex Is Good for Your Health and Longevity

10 Reasons Sex Is Good for Your Health and Longevity

\n

PR Newswire: 

“I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.”

This old wisecrack is credited to American late-night talk show host and comedian Johnny Carson. Sorry, Johnny, it may be funny, but you’ve got it wrong. Although giving up unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking and rich food will certainly improve your health, giving up sex will not.
 
In fact, when you’re in a healthy relationship, sex is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Here are 10 reasons why.

It eases stress.

Does your relationship need a 'love drug'?
By subscribing you agree to our
privacy policy.

Dopamine, which impacts the brain’s pleasure and reward centers; endorphins, which can reduce pain and stress; and oxytocin, also known as the cuddle hormone, are all released during sex, with higher levels after orgasm.

It boosts mood.

Oxytocin promotes feelings of well-being and happiness. And you don’t have to boink like bunnies to feel that way.
A study of 30,000 American men and women between 1989 and 2012 found that having sex at least once a week in a committed relationship was enough to make people happy.

Want more sex? Get better sleep. Want better sleep? Have more sex

 
Want more sex? Get better sleep. Want better sleep? Have more sex
It’s more than the coital act that brings benefits. Studies of older adults found that holding hands, hugging, kissing and mutual stroking also contribute to a greater quality of life.
Getting it on can ward off depression, too. Studiesshow that men and women who have intercourse with their partners have greater satisfaction with their mental health. (Unfortunately, the benefits didn’t extend to masturbation.)
But the boost doesn’t appear to work for casual sex or hookups. One study of nearly 7,500 US college students across 14 public universities found that those who had more hookups had lower levels of happiness and self-esteem, and higher levels of depression and anxiety.
In contrast to the notion that men are more likely to be OK with casual sex, the researchers found no differences between the sexes.

It improves sleep.

Prolactin, a hormone that relaxes you, is also released after an orgasm. The combination of prolactin and all the rest of the “feel-good” hormones are why most people sleep better after sex.
To get the highest amount of prolactin, science suggests having an orgasm with a partner if possible. Research shows that the level of prolactin in both men and women after intercourse can be “400% greater than that following masturbation.”
Unfortunately, sleep deprivation — which affects a third of Americans — can also impact sexual satisfaction. A study of nearly 10,000 women ages 50 to 79 found that those who got fewer than seven to eight hours of sleep a night were less likely to be sexually active. The older the woman, the more likely she was to report less sex when sleep-deprived.

Sacrificing sleep? Here's what it will do to your health

 
Sacrificing sleep? Here’s what it will do to your health
Sleep disorders can play a role. For example, men and women with obstructive sleep apnea, characterized by loud snoring and periods of breathing cessation, report a less active sex life.
Men are especially hard-hit. To produce testosterone, men need a good period of restful, uninterrupted sleep. Without that, they could have lower levels of testosterone and suffer erectile dysfunction.
What happens when sleep is improved? Good news for both sexes: Libido goes up.
According to a 2015 study, women who got a good night’s sleep were more likely to experience sexual desire the next day. In fact, a one-hour increase in sleep duration correlated to a 14% increase in the odds that a woman would engage in sex with her partner.
And researchers at Walter Reed Army Hospital found that using a CPAP machine, a breathing apparatus used to correct sleep apnea, improved sexual function and satisfaction for all men in their study but was especially helpful to those with erectile dysfunction.
Read: Do you get enough sleep?

It boosts your immunity.

Having regular sex may also help you fight off disease.
Researchers at Pennsylvania’s Wilkes University asked US college students how often they had sex each week and then compared the levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that functions as the body’s first line of defense, in their saliva.

Reasons for avoiding sex are often treatable

 
Reasons for avoiding sex are often treatable
Students who had sex once or twice a week had the highest levels of immunoglobulin A: 30% higher than those who had no sex, but also those who had sex three or more times a week. In addition, students who were in longer-term, satisfying relationships had the highest levels of the antibody.
That makes sense when you consider research on social support and the immune system. A study of 276 healthy volunteers at the University of Pittsburgh found that those with the most diverse social networks, including not just lovers but family, friends and organizations, were the least likely to catch colds.

It decreases risk of prostate cancer.

Good news for men: Frequent ejaculation appears to be linked to a lower risk for prostate cancer.
A 2004 study published in the British Medical Journal studied the sex life of over 50,000 American males between the ages of 40 and 75. Men reporting 21 or more ejaculations a month were less likely to get prostate cancer than men who ejaculated four to seven times a month. A follow-up study published in 2016 showed the same results.

It improves heart health.

Men who make love at least two times a week are 45% less likely to have heart disease than men who have sex only once a month or less, according to a study by the New England Research Institute.
The 17-year study, which began in 1987, tracked the sex lives of over 1,000 men age 40 to 70; the researchers eliminated other risk factors from the results, such as age, weight, cholesterol and blood pressure.

Why some make so much noise during sex

Women also reap the heart-healthy benefits of sex. A 2016 study found that women who said they had frequent, extremely satisfying sex had a lower risk of hypertension, a common precursor to heart disease.
“Good sexual quality may protect older women from cardiovascular risk in later life,” said study author Hui Liu, an associate professor of sociology at Michigan State University.
That makes sense, said sex and relationship educator Laura Berman, because of the way women view their sexual relationships.
“It’s not so much the number of orgasms or how vigorous the sexual experience that predicts a woman’s sexual satisfaction,” Berman said. “It’s how close she feels to the person she is having sex with, through kissing and cuddling as well as orgasms. That is the key to her emotional and physical well-being, which benefits her health and her heart and everything else.”

It enhances intimacy.

Want more affection in your life? Have more sex with your partner.
 
Falling in love deactivates parts of your brain
 
 
Falling in love deactivates parts of your brain 01:57
A series of four studies of committed couples in the United States and Switzerland found that having sex created more affection, not only in the moments after sexual intimacy but hours later, even in couples with children or those married long past the “honeymoon period.”
Moreover, for couples who felt more affection after sex, the effects were still evident six months later.
“The more overall sex they had, the more affection; the less sex they had, the less positive affection,” said clinical psychologist Anik Debrot of the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, who led the study.
And the sex didn’t have to be intercourse for there to be positive effects, Debrot said. “Moments that were experienced as erotic or sexually arousing were just as predictive of positive emotions.”
CNN contributor Ian Kerner, a psychotherapist who specializes in sex and couples therapy, agrees. When couples keep the sexual dimension of their relationship alive and intact, “it leads to an overall warming up of the relationship, which includes more touch and non-sexual affection as well as higher level of regard towards their partner,” he said.

It boosts cognition.

 

How marriage might be linked to lower dementia risk

 
If you’re looking for a good reason to energize your sex life as you age, here it is.
How marriage might be linked to lower dementia risk
Studies show that keeping your sex life active into old age protects and even improves your brain’s executive functioning and recall. Analyzing data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, British researchers found that sexually active men between the ages 50 and 89 had increased cognitive function, as measured by number sequencing and word recall, even after adjusting for quality of life, loneliness, depression and physical activity.
Women had the same benefit from sex for memory but not number sequencing.
Both men and women who were more sexually active did better on the tests than those who had less sex.
In a follow-up study, the researchers found that having sex at least once a week was highly predictive of improved cognitive functioning, especially verbal fluency.

It limits pain.

Studies have found that sexual activity can reduce menstrual cramps, chronic back and leg pain, even migraines.
A 2013 survey of 1,000 German headache sufferers found that 30% of those with cluster headaches and 60% of those with migraines reported partial or total relief of their pain if they had sex during an episode.
Orgasm researcher Barry Komisaruk of Rutgers University points to research that states “the sensory input produced by vaginal stimulation produces a powerful analgesic effect” and that he says does not interfere with tactile sensitivity.
In a study Komisaruk co-authored with Rutgers sex researcher Beverly Whipple, who coined the term “G-spot,” they found that the pressure of pleasurable vaginal stimulation increased pain tolerance by 40%. When the women came to orgasm, their pain tolerance increased by nearly 75%.

Sex rarely causes hearts to stop, research says

 
Sex rarely causes hearts to stop, research says
Scientists give the credit to hormones released during sex, like endorphins, which block pain and stress, and oxytocin, the hormone that helps mothers and babies bond and which has pain-relieving properties.

It’s exercise?

Can sex be a form of exercise? Yes, sort of, if you are young and healthy and spend at least 30 minutes doing it.
A study of 20 young healthy couples found that they burned an average of 85 calories for each half-hour romp in bed. Men burned more than women, at about 100 calories versus 69.

“By comparison,” the study authors write, “the level of intensity that is exerted from sexual activity could be higher to that of walking at 4.8 km/h but lower to that of jogging at 8 km/h.”
Still, a man would burn about the same amount of calories in a half-hour of cooking, bartending or driving a truck, while women get the same result from desk work and sitting in meetings.
But which is more fun? Plus, experts point to the other exercise benefits from sex: the stretching of muscles and tendons, the flexing of joints and the increase of respiration, heart rate and blood pressure that in a healthy man or woman can energize the body.

BARBIE BLANK RUNWAY SUMMER 2017

Did you have fun at your RUNWAY photo shoot?

This shoot was seriously a dream come true! I’ve always wanted to do a Barbie-inspired shoot, and this went above and beyond my expectations and what I could of have ever imagined! I mean, a Barbie dream house is the perfect way to describe it. Everything was so perfect from the house, photography, clothes, hair, makeup just everything! This was one of my favorite shoots I’ve ever done! 

What styles do you plan on wearing this summer? 

It’s fair to say I would wear a bikini everyday if I could. But living in LA, I have the luxury of a year-round summer. I love to wear a lot flowy dresses and skirts, lots of crop tops and shorts. It honestly depends how I am feeling on that day.

How was Miami Swim Week?

Miami Swim Week was amazing! I’ve never been before, so I was so excited to see what it was all about and it definitely didn’t disappoint! I was invited to sit front row at all the major swim shows like Sports Illustrated, Beach Bunny, Frankie’s Bikinis, Luli Fama just to name a few. It was truly an honor that they wanted to have me front row at every one of those shows. 

What do you eat to stay so fit? 

I try to stick to healthy options, like grilled chicken, vegetables, salads and healthy sandwiches. I’ve actually started getting into vegan options, and I definitely see a difference in how I look and feel. 

Tell us about the IDLife Experience. 

IDLife is this amazing lifestyle brand that carries everything from supplements to protein smoothies, shakes, meal plans, etc. It’s a great program to be involved with. I love how they run things and I truly see a difference in my body when I use their products. 

What was one of your most memorable experiences on WWE?

What was one of your most memorable experiences on WWE? 

I’d have to say winning the WWE Divas Championship Belt. Being given that chance meant that Vince McMahon, the writers and agents all believed in me after 5 years of working my butt off and proving I could be the best wrestler I could. I felt like they really noticed my hard work and thought it was my time to hold the championship. I was able to bring pride to it and the fans were behind me all the way. That’s why it meant so much to me, because the fans really wanted to see me win it. I had been an underdog for so many years, and they knew I was just as deserving as Vince and everyone else at WWE.
Can you tell us what it’s like on the set of WAGS?

Being on the set of WAGS is actually very entertaining. I work with amazing people and an amazing production company who have always supported me and have my back. I love what I do. We just finished wrapping our third season, and it’s been a great journey. You’ve seen a lot of my ups and downs, but it’s all true and shows exactly what we have going on in our lives, good or bad. The girls and I have all formed a great bond just because we are all living and going through the same things, especially being in relationships with athletes. I have to say it’s one of the best sets I’ve ever been a part of. 

Who has been your favorite person to work with?

Inside the Story



I love working with all the girls on the show. We have our own special bonds between each other. I really love Nicole. We’ve gotten really close over the past couple years and she’s been such a great supportive friend. We always have a blast together working on and off camera.

What can we look forward to seeing from you in the future? 

I really hope to get more involved in acting, whether it be TV, movies or both! I love being in front of the camera and performing. It’s always been a passion of mine, even as a little girl. I will also be coming out with my own bikini calendar for 2018, and I have been selling Barbie Blank t-shirts on a website called prowrestlingtees.com, which have become a huge hit! I’m going to be coming out with my own Barbie Emoji’s very soon, so keep a look out for those! And can’t wait to see what else this year brings. The world is definitely my oyster! 

Any advice to aspiring young talent? 

Get an education first and then figure out exactly what it is you want out of life. When it comes to a job or family, just go for it, and at the end of the day you can say, “You know what, I went out there and I tried.” Whether it works out or not, you can go through life proud of yourself for at least trying something you’ve always dreamed of doing! That’s what I did with wrestling, and now look where I am today. Just always believe in yourself and never let anyone tell you different.

Bonnie Jill - Laflin Interview RUNWAY Magazine 2017

So, what are you up to these days?

I’m working as a reporter for FOX Sports in the US, working for BBC Sports in the UK and internationally, and I am a cast member on the current season of VH1’s Basketball Wives. My passion is my charity work, focusing on the welfare of animals and our military’s veterans. As well as visiting Capitol Hill often to get bills passed for animals and our wounded warriors. Every day is a crazy busy day for me!

 

Which was your favorite gown from the RUNWAY photo shoot? 

I’ve always been a big fan of Rita Hayworth, and the red dress made it feel as if I was her.  I love the glamour of old Hollywood.

 

Who is your favorite designer?

Stella McCartney.  As an animal activist, I like that her line is cruelty-free and she has a vegan line of boots and purses that I’m a big fan of.  I have many of them!

 

Tell us about your charity Hounds and Heroes. 

I formed the charity in 2011. I combined my two passions: animal welfare and the military. Our primary initiative is rescuing dogs from shelters and pairing them up with wounded warriors as service and therapy dogs.  Our second major initiative focuses on rescuing horses that will be slaughtered and setting up equine therapy sessions with wounded warriors in Dallas.

 

Tell us about your multiple USO trips.

I’ve traveled nineteen times on USO or Goodwill tours to entertain and support our troops deployed all over the world, including eight trips to Iraq and Afghanistan. The experiences I’ve had on these tours are absolutely life changing. To be with our heroes in a combat zone is unlike anything you will experience. Coming from a military family these tours have been the best times of my life.

 

Tell us about your first acting experience.

I had many guest starring roles but my first recurring role was on Baywatch where I had a 4 episode arc. We were filming an episode and a riptide grabbed me causing me to get pulled out into the ocean. The real Los Angeles lifeguards had to come save me..something I won’t forget! Looking back it was an honor to be a part of such an iconic show…I still have my red one piece swimsuit and lifeguard can.

 

What was it like being on Basketball Wives?  

This was my first foray into reality television and it has been quite the experience to say the least…lol! I’ve made a couple great friends on the show which has been nice. 

 

Did you love your NBA/NFL cheerleading days?

Being a professional dancer and sports fan this seemed like the best fit. I started off dancing for the Golden State Warriors, San Francisco 49ers then to the Dallas Cowboys…and received a Super Bowl ring. I traveled all over the world and was cheering for the best teams..at that time. These days really molded me and gave me a great stepping stone for my career. These were some wonderful times in my life!

 

Tell our readers about the rings you are wearing in our RUNWAY photo shoot. 

I was fortunate during my time working for the Los Angeles Lakers as the first (and only!) female NBA scout that the team won five championships.  As part of front office of the organization, I received a ring each year the Lakers won.

 

What is your next venture/project?

I have my own digital sports show that will be debuting next month, my children’s book will be out in the Fall as well as re-launching my clothing line…Doubleplay Sportswear. Also I am working with a great team to produce a show that combines food, travel, and sports, I am also the host and producer. Look for it on the airwaves early next year!

Early Thoughts On Key Oscars Categories

Early Thoughts On Key Oscars Categories

We’re still about three months away from the next Academy Awards. However, that also means we’re right in the thick of the season when most of the films that will contend for major honors are being released. Given that, and with consideration that many of these films haven’t reached the cinemas yet, here are some early thoughts on film titles and individuals names you may see in contention for key Oscars categories in a few months’ time.

Best Picture

Films To Watch: “Dunkirk,” “The Shape Of Water,” “Lady Bird,” “Call Me By Your Name,” “The Greatest Showman,” “The Post,” “Darkest Hour,” “Get Out”

Early Observations: It’s going to be a weak year, relatively speaking, for Best Picture nominees. That is to say, it seems very unlikely that we’ll reach the maximum of 10 nominations (and we could fall closer to five). “Dunkirk” appears to have the inside track early on, and could serve as a very pure winner during a dark time for Hollywood. Indeed, as one interview put it, director Christopher Nolan put his artistry where his optimism was with this film, which he views as a strong counter to the narrative that the film industry is surrendering to TV.

Any of the above films could be considered however. If there is a true heavyweight yet to be released it’s probably “The Greatest Showman,” a massive performance drama about P.T. Barnum; “The Post,” a Steven Spielberg film telling a true story of journalistic courage and starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep; or “Darkest Hour,” in which Gay Oldman will play Winston Churchill (in what could be quite a fitting follow-up to “Dunkirk”).

Early Prediction

Early Prediction: Though it isn’t out yet, “The Post” could ultimately overtake “Dunkirk.” 2017 has been viewed by many as the most important year for journalism in generations, and Hollywood loves a timely Best Picture. Plus, the Spielberg/Hanks/Streep trio is about as powerful as it gets.

Best Director

Names To Watch: Christopher Nolan, Guillermo del Toro, Joe Wright, Jordan Peele, Patty Jenkins, Steve Spielberg, Michael Gracey, Alexander Payne

Early Observations: This is one of the toughest awards to predict in advance. Nolan will certainly be in the running for “Dunkirk,” and “The Shape Of Water” seems the sort of film that might be recognized more for Del Toro’s direction than for anything else. Jordan Peele made an incredible directorial debut with “Get Out,” and Patty Jenkins earned a great deal of praise for bringing “Wonder Woman” to life. Spielberg (“The Post”) and Payne (“Downsizing”) have had awards season success before, and Gracey will be rewarded if “The Greatest Showman” winds up being a powerhouse.

Early Prediction: This seems like it may be headed Christopher Nolan’s way, either in a “Dunkirk” sweep, or because it’s narrowly edged out for Best Picture. However, don’t sleep on Jenkins. It would be an unconventional pick, but in a year when Hollywood’s problems regarding men in power have come to light, there could be a swell to give this award to the talented female director who made “Wonder Woman.”

Best Actor

Names To Watch: Gary Oldman, Timothee Chalamet, Denzel Washington, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hanks, Daniel Day-Lewis, Jake Gyllenhaal

Early Observations: Chalamet is about to be the big new name in Hollywood once people see “Call Me By Your Name,” but he may be almost too new for this award. Oldman, Jackman, and Hanks all appear to be gunning for it in early trailers of their respective films. And Washington is an interesting dark horse. Just last year, pre-Oscars analysis suggested that the “#OscarSoWhite” issue could be enough of a push to get Mr. Washington an Academy Award for “Fences.” He narrowly lost out to Casey Affleck, but could have an impressive rebound if he wins with “Roman J. Israel, Esq.” It looks like a less challenging but perhaps more accessible role.

Inside the Story

Early Prediction: This is actually a fairly loaded category in what most see as a mediocre year in film. But it’s hard not to see Daniel Day-Lewis coming out on top if “Phantom Thread” is anything but a flop. The actor has indicated it’s his last film.

Best Actress

Names To Watch: Jessica Chastain, Sally Hawkins, Margot Robbie, Emma Stone, Meryl Streep, Carrie Fisher

Early Observations: Fisher may be a long shot, but it’s worth noting that JJ Abrams has already talked up Mark Hamill as a potential Oscar contender for his work in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” Fisher is supposed to have a smaller role, but you never know. She was deeply beloved in Hollywood, and could earn a fitting posthumous honor. That said, the other actresses above all look formidable. Streep is always tough to beat when she earns a nomination, and Stone is coming off her own first Best Actress win (though “Battle Of The Sexes” isn’t quite the Oscar film some expected it to be). Chastain will have the benefit of reading Aaron Sorkin’s words in “Molly’s Game,” and Sally Hawkins should shine in Del Toro’s “The Shape Of Water.”

Early Prediction: It’s an outside-the-box pick, but Margot Robbie could well end up looking like the favorite. If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch the trailer for “I, Tonya.” A darkly comedic chronicle of infamous figure skater Tonya Harding, it looks to be a total breakout for Robbie.

What are you working on now?

Right now, I’m just in Los Angeles wrapping up press for Sweet/Vicious for the year so I can head back to England for Christmas! I’m really excited to be back with my family and take some time to just be home and in one place for a while. My family are big on Christmas and my sister and I still behave like 8 year olds on Christmas morning. 

We all loved you in Nanny McPhee and Inkheart what was it like to grow up in the entertainment industry?

I was very  lucky that I had a great experience but I know it’s not always that way. Nanny McPhee was just a dream; we worked with animals all day and Emma Thompson would order ice cream trucks to set (I learnt fast that ice cream trucks are not a given on every set!). With Inkheart, I was 14 which I think can be an age where you can start to think you’re the bees knees if with the wrong company, but I was fortunate to work with people like Helen Mirren and Andy Serkis,  incredibly kind and gracious actors that gave me a great example to look up to. Most importantly I’m blessed with an incredible family that kept me grounded. I grew up as a ‘child star’ but my parents made sure I was back in school as much as possible and in my exam years, I barely worked so I managed to retain some level of normality. 

Who inspired you?

I really remember the first time I ever saw Natalie Portman’s performance in Leon: The Professional. I was blown away by her. I’d never seen a performance from someone that young with that much depth of emotion and she drives the film from start to finish. I think it stuck with me because the news is so often filled with stories of great child actors going off the rails and she was an example of someone who managed to make that transition with grace and dignity and still be an incredible talent. 

How do you feel your fashion changed as your evolved?

Well the moment I stopped being a teenager, my fashion sense got so much better. My priorities changed from wanting boys to like me to wanting to like myself. We used to all dress the same, body-con dresses and fake eyelashes were the staple look. I really love fashion now and I love picking an outfit based on my mood that morning, but I’d say generally I’m attracted to interesting cuts and fabrics/textures and anything that looks chic. 

What are your favorite red carpet designers?

Elie Saab, Dior, Oscar De La Renta, Marc Jacobs to name but a few. 

What do you wear at home?

Sweats or pajamas if given the option. 

What are your favorite shoes?

I have a this pair of pointed, slightly platformed, crocodile print electric blue flats that I wear all the time. They are from Finery London, their shoes are amazing. I’m obsessed.  

How do you relax?

I love having game nights with my friends. Currently a few of my friends and I are obsessed with this game called CodeNames. I keep thinking we are going to get bored of it, but we’ve played it hundreds of times now and it’s still so good. Game nights are the best to laugh and spend time with friends without having to leave the comfort of your home, who could ask for more?!

Any advice to aspiring young talent?

The industry is pretty fickle and there are huge highs and lows, so make sure your happiness and identity are rooted in the ‘success’ of your career. Know your values and identity and then work your ass off so you can’t look back and wish you had done more.
