Hellooooo Santa Claus! Yeah, yeah, I'm one of those crazy Christmas people. But that's really not the point, is it? Who doesn't love a good Christmas carol every now and again. Anyway...stay focused...I'm thinking of bringing this Penelope Cruz into the game as [info]josetteb's sister. The girls were separated when they were younger and Penelope here (I think I'm gonna keep her name as Lola and use this journal) stayed with her father while her sister was with their grandmother. They didn't have much of a relationship, and I'm thinking they just recently came into contact, though those details still need to be worked out. Other than that, I was thinking of having her be involved in something with fashion, maybe Vera Wang credits. Possibly even a model turned designer. If not fashion, I was considering writing, but I really think I'm leaning more towards fashion, maybe even fashion photography. She'd be in her early thirties, and other than that, I don't have much. I think she might have grown up in Spain or New York (haven't decided yet) with her father.

So...ideas? Lines? Would she be wanted for anything? I'm definitely interested in filling lines, discussing lines, drawing lines, snorting...just kidding, etc. She's pretty much a blank slate except for the above ideas.

[spenc]

hey guys, i apologize for being a bit of a slow poke but introducing [info]spencer monroe! he's [info]brianne's drug addicted rock-star of an older brother, boasting the voice and lyrics of max bemis/say anything. sl wise, he needs everything! friends, past and future tour mates, ex-girlfriends/flings, an arch nemisis, people to collab with (his last album had quite a few guest vocalists), fellow la club kids (think cobrasnakers), or anything else we might come up with.

to give you a brief background: spencer was dragged to LA in pursuite of brianne's dream and he's been out of control ever since. feeling like the forgotten child, he starting acting out in feeble attempts for attention and while he's managed to develop a successful career, he is anything but in his personal life. his thing is pharms and uppers although he'll also drown himself in liquor if given the chance. when sober he's known for being a pretty sweet dude, very loyal and well spoken and just full of energy and creativity but when high he's known for acting out and disregarding pretty much everything but himself. his lyrics are emotionally fueled and at times raw and his live shows follow the same trend, gaining him many fans but not allowing him to keep friends outside of the business or girlfriends for very long. he rarely mentions his sister in interviews but he cares about her deeply, like any big brother would, he just never shows it. right now he's back in la working on a new album that will drop in the early spring and although a lot of the people around him are pushing for rehab (even if just out patient) he swears the studio is all he needs. that's pretty much it, i'm hoping other quirks and ins and outs will fall into place as he develops and of course sls are a huge part of that so comment and we'll cook something up!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

-Theodore Roosevelt

OK everyone, I've not written up her bio or first entry but I thought I'd post this anyway in the hopes that I can get some lines to help figure her out. So, this is Olivia Hunter, as pbed by the very lovely Kate Bosworth, and she's a 24-year old Australian singer/actress with the credits of Delta Goodrem. Despite being pretty famous in Aus she wasn't really known within the States until Fanboys was released earlier this year. She got her start on Neighbours, which she appeared on for three years before leaving to pursue a career in music. She released her first album, Innocent Eyes the following year and it went straight to number one. She has since appeared in a number of Australian movies before finally making the transition to American movies in 2008 with a small role in Mamma Mia and Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Whilst Liv loves acting, music is her real passion and she tries to combine the two as often as possible. Her discography is here and other credits are here.

Personality-wise, Liv is extremely humble and gracious and really still stunned by the direction her life has taken. She doesn't take life or her career too seriously and is always willing to laugh. Liv isn't the brightest crayon in the box but she means well and is, once you get down to it, a real sweetheart. She's a little naive and very gullible, which means that people can, and occasionally have, taken advantage of her. The paparazzi (and most of America) know her as that blonde Australian girl who's always willing to stop for a chat or randomly sing lines from new songs for them.

Anyway, I think that's all I have so far but I'd really love to work out some lines with people. Co-stars, friends, exes, whatever, anything and everything would be appreciated!

[nilsen]
okay, i am still working on my stuff for this guy, but i'm gonna take a break on that for tonight to get this out of the way! this guy here is jamison nilsen, a 25 year old musician hailing from gainesville, florida, and currently lives in new york city. i gave him the face of william beckett and the voice of davey havok - mostly the blaqk audio material but certain afi stuff might leak in there. anyway, jamison - jami to most - broke onto the music scene as the singer/songwriter for the band these are our last rites (think afi from 'shut your mouth and open your eyes' until 'art of drowning'). the band was having a good run with an ever-growing fanbase and some mainstream attention, but then their guitarist dropped out just before checking into a drug rehab facility. since then, these are our last rites haven't broken up but they are on an 'indefinite hiatus,' mostly because jami and his other band mates have no idea if or when their guitarist will re-join the band and if he doesn't then that brings on the search for a new guitarist. this indefinite hiatus has been going on for roughly a year, and in the meantime, jami has been working on a solo project he has dubbed digital breakdown (this is where the blaqk audio claim comes in). his first solo release 'cexcells' isn't to be released until after the new year, but he's already created a buzz about his new stuff through internet mediums like myspace and his official blog. teasing with brief clips and instrumental bits has worked wonders for him so far. digital breakdown is obviously going to have a very different sound than what he's previously done with these are our last rites, and it's fair to say that this solo venture has been his way of exploring musically and pushing some of his own boundaries. jami's very dedicated to music and to the idea of not putting creative limits on himself, even if his experiments are bound to make a lot of the hardcore these are our last rites fans go 'what the fuck are you doing?' he can opinionated and his mouth has gotten him into trouble before and put up walls between him and particular people, and he can be a grudge-holder even if he tries not to be. although jami is gay, it's more of an open secret sort of thing - something a lot of people know but he hasn't actually uttered those words 'i'm gay' to the media. he's usually an approachable guy, known among fans who've met him to be one of the most approachable guys and one of the easiest people to meet after shows in the industry. he's good about keeping himself connected to the fans, doing the whole nine yards with his own blog, a public twitter account, lurking and posting on livejournal, that sort of stuff. he's pretty good about either staying out of the major rumor mills or laughing off the times he's featured in them. despite that, he does have times where he takes himself too seriously and needs a gentle nudge (or a rough shove if he's being really stubborn). i am trying to think of what else i could mention about him but i am drawing a blank.

anyway! i have no lines/connections for him so far so i need everything and will take whatever you can throw at me, otherwise we'll brainstorm!

[slad]
So I've finally figured this kid out for the most part. I'm going with JP Amedori, 26, and he's the vocalist for a Cobra Starship credit band alongside [info]greggor and [info]sarma. He's the brother of [info]lennix and [info]necole (them having been in the industry for quite some time). Regardless Slade stayed out of that scene, never getting into acting and living a pretty normal life. Instead Slade played in multiple bands with Gregg that went nowhere. No one really took it seriously, if they had fans the majority were friends and for multiple reasons things ended. Upon hearing about Snakes on a Plane's release, the two fucked around and wrote Snakes On A Plane as one big joke. Getting a friend from Film School to record a youtube type video, they were taken aback when the song caught on and it became a youtube sensation. It ended up first on College radio and then it got so big that the producers caught wind of it and wanted to use it. I'm thinking the only cred he'd had up to that point was being roleplayed as "that hunky brother" kind of like how the myspace/scene kids caught on. They ended up being approached by a small label to record an album. Joining forces with friends, they ended up going into the studio backed by a movie and internet buzz. Although being the brother of Hollywood girls and considering Gregg was slightly jaded as his acting career wasn't working out, the band really didn't take things seriously. They wrote stupid songs thinking they'd be one hit wonders that'd fizzle after a few months. They said whatever they wanted in interviews, made the videos they wanted to make and people kept wanting more and it slowly actually turned into something accidentally even though they've been treating it all like their own big playground. When the producers asked for their band name, they kind of had to come up with it on the spot. BUT that was longer than intended. I'd dig the guest vocalists, the Katy Perry to discuss a line because of I Kissed A Boy, shows they've done music for, the keytarist, bassist and drummer of the band, tourmates, friends from the industry, fans, siblings, a best friend he had as a kid, even comment with "something" and we'll figure something awesome out.

[sphia]
hello hello. i come bringing miss sophia bordeaux, a france native but she's definitely been americanized since she's been working since she was 11. her eldest sister is [info]marchelina and though she sometimes would rather forget about their mother they share she does love her sisters (she has two more that we are still looking for). she started in the mighty ducks trilogy and went onto star in other various films and shows most recently "glee" as emma pillsbury, the quirky guidance counselor. she lives with her sin city co-star [info]mubarak who just so happens to be the ex-fiancee of her best friend/partner in crime [info]macallistar who she met on the set of cruel intentions. she is 28, has a good sense of humor and appreciates a good laugh even if it happens to be at her expense, and tends to smile even when the chips are down though she is a realist and knows when to give up a fight. she is very laid-back and casual when it comes to most things though her career is something she takes seriously and for that she will back all her decisions thus far.

i am most definitely looking for co-stars (credits are here), friends, even maybe an ex or two we can plot that if you are interested. also if you have anything in mind that i can fill i'm up for hearing it also.

I wanted to do this earlier, but I kinda forgot. My bad. I'd like some connections to the stars she's worked with, so I thought I'd just go ahead and call a few of you out to get your attention. That doesn't mean that everyone always gets along, but we could at least discuss that potential, right? So the people she's worked with (or are going to!) are the following: [info]sharjo, [info]leemack, [info]iena, [info]nagrom, [info]colden, [info]emerton, [info]eckharte & [info]wilke. She got her start on Dawson's Creek and was once engaged to the tased [info]lastings, before his alcoholism got the better of their relationship. Soon, when/if he's accepted, she's the best friend of [info]seanm. That being said, feel free to interact with her if they haven't worked with one another. She's talkative and will try to keep you entertained, at least. Thanks, guys!

Was hoping to bring in the face of Asia Argento to the game, but before getting started on her wanted to know if anyone would like her for any lines? She's a complete blank slate as of right now but I'll start working on her tonight.

[chaisty]
I probably should have double-checked on lines before, I just realized my first post was almost two weeks ago and I changed her journal in between there. Whoops! For reference, the past post is here.

This is Eleanor Chaisty, a thirty-year old British actress who got her real start as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider series. She's done a number of other things, including a few other action movies and a number of romantic comedies (her favorites) and a list of her credits can be found here. There's also a bio there so I won't go on too long about it. It has to be said, though, that her agent and management team take horrible advantage of her and steer her in really odd or horrible directions that aren't always the best for her career but which they think will get her (and thus them) a lot of money, often with less than stellar results. As a personality, she's generally sweet and nice and doesn't really have a problem with too many people. She's also, it must be said, not that bright. She isn't stupid but she isn't smart either, and she's had a few public bungles that have led to her being criticized a lot by the press and the like, and her IQ (or lack of it) has been made out to be much worse than it really is. Also latched onto by them is the fact that she's had a number of roles, in the past, where she's played someone who was bisexual or homosexual and it tends to get a lot of buzz, though she hasn't thought twice about it and doesn't really get the fuss. She tends to show up at a lot of premieres or parties or whatnot, kind of getting by on her name and past projects to get her in, but she isn't the sort to come stumbling out of a high profile club either, just sort of in a happy medium between a homebody and hard partying gal. I know I'd talked a little bit with [info]hbrandston and [info]colden about possible lines or connections, but I thought I'd see if anyone else might like something or if there were any costars I could work things out with!

I'm looking to bring this Charlie Hunnam in as an actor. Is there anything specific anyone needs or would like to see filled? I need a spark or two of inspiration while I get his credits together.

Thanks in advance!

hello boys & girls! okay this is jon macallistar and he's an actor. his credits and blog thingy are in the journal and i will try and describe him as thoroughly as possible. jon is the half-brother of [info]ivin although he doesn't know that yet (neither of them do) and he grew up in madison, wisconsin. he came to los angeles at seventeen to become someone but it took about a year for that to happen. he's kind of your typical blue-collar guy who just happens to have millions of dollars and is really laid back and cool. he considers his fans "friends" and he'll occassionally hang out with them. he doesn't really like spoiled rich people because he grew up with little money and isn't really into the whole flashy money scene. he works with charities (operation smile being one) and likes to give back angelina jolie style. he can be tormented at times and a little dark but he has a pretty good sense of humor and is pretty sarcastic. he was engaged to [info]mubarak until 2008 and is now sort of with [info]zella (it's on the d/l though) and she's expecting a daughter with him. he's a little conflicted about the situation at times but is happy to be a future father and plans on spoiling that girl rotten. his best girl friend is [info]sphia and they met on cruel intentions and she's been his #1 sidekick ever since.

as for lines i would love a few more best friends/close friends, co-workers, friends, enemies, really whatever! i'm looking for anything and i will gladly fill almost any kind of sl.

Hey all! I'm kind of late posting about this, but not only does Dorian have the photography credits of Dirk Mai, I've also added Tyler Shields so that definitely opens him up for more lines. If your PB has any Tyler Shields work, let me know and we can plot a bit!

Hey all. It's [info]thisland with my Patrick Wilson. His name is Sean Madigan, and his credits are up in his journal. Right now, he's playing Will Schuester in "Glee" and will be in the upcoming The Time Traveler's Wife. Check the journal for the rest. His bio/directory is written, but lines while I work on a first post?

[emmett]
so, i moved... again. and slipped a disc and have been laid out on painkillers. and i work retail and it's the holiday season. with that said, emmett has been getting the shaft lately and i'm no where near as active as i used to be. but the moving is almost done and the disc is mostly healed and they can't make me work more than forty hours a week... so i'd like to get emmie more active again. somewhere along the way i think i started losing his voice but i'm trying my best to get it back and to put him back into a place where i want him. i'd like to do more scenes with him because i can't even remember the last time i had one and i'd like to get him interacting with more of your characters. so to all of the new people in the comm or the new characters, i'd love to have a storyline with you! to all the veterans who are familiar with emmett... i'd love to get our lines going again. i'm up for scenes: aim or thread. i'm up for aim chatting: his sn is misshaped emmett. i wanna live!

i can't promise that this will be my last christmas show post, but hopefully i won't have to do too many more! this thursday night in nyc, there will be an acoustic christmas benefit, with all proceeds going towards sick kids hospital in toronto and the make a wish foundation. aubrey is going to be running around like a madwoman getting this ready too, and if anyone is in new york, she might just enlist their aid.

right now, we're looking to finalise the setlist. from the previous posts, i made a list of acts appearing - please let us know if you're still interested and able to attend!

the performers so far. )

what i need from you guys already listed (and anyone else who's interested - there's no limit really, we'll make it work however) is whether you'll be doing a full set, or just a song or two. also, whatever christmas songs you want to do - mostly so we don't have 5 people playing jingle bells in a row! for now, maybe we could leave it at two max, and then once everyone has something, we can dole out some more. a few repeats are fine, we'll work the setlist so it isn't back to back. we're actually going to give everyone set times and orders, so we can get pretty specific in what happens! also, any collaborations, duets, special appearances, etc., are greatly encouraged! feel free to give details, but i will probably make another post about it on or around thursday - either a thread, or a general happenings post - which would you guys prefer?

also - we clearly have stalled with putting out the album... it'll get out before christmas though! if anyone else has something they'd like to throw on. let me know and we'll make it happen!

This is Sofia Hayes, a 19 (soon-to-be 20) year old heiress & budding actress, she's done a few small role in He's Just Not That Into You and some work on the Broadway production of Mama Mia as an understudy and the off Broadway production of My First Time. Her father is the founder, chairman & CEO of Hayes Group Ltd, a conglomerate that's core business area is travel, entertainment, media - as well as pharmaceuticals & manufacturing consumer goods. Her mother is a well known & respected photographer. She's also the neice of a US senator who is a father figure to her.

She is a staple of New York City and adores life in the city - she really struggles with functioning outside of a city BUT she does for the most part manage even if she doesn't enjoy it... think of her as a girl who is learning from the mistakes of previous well known heiresses. Currently she is filming Chronicles of Narnia in Australia. I personally would love her to have quite a few acquaintances - she is a traveler and a social butterfly so we can get really creative when it comes to knowing one another. She did have a relationship with [info]lts (bit of a Lindsay Lohan & Wilmer Valdarama relationship going on there) that ended a few months ago - it was a mutual and positive breakup.

So lets get creative...
