Mom and Dad Banicki send me to Joshua Tree for Inspiration!
Sending me to Joshua Tree to get back my writing hand was genius – with a big fat genie in a bottle genius.
#8-Inspiring Yoshiki
Shenae Grimes: “You’ve got to meet this guy. He’s like the Michael Jackson of Japan. A talented, kind, and amazing person!” Holly brought Shenae to the Bud Suite at the Laker Game on Friday so we could chat about Shenae’s upcoming benefit to raise money for Japan. Shenae was flown out for a fashion show […]
Foster the People-#10
Foster the People. Why do I love them? It’s music that makes you happy (I read somewhere that it’s like Spoon and MGMT mated to create FTP), and I love finding something new before everyone else. Bonus – they have an amazing name. Foster the People. Some synonyms of Foster- promote, forward, cultivate, and encourage I’d […]
#15-My Beverly Hills Cab Driver
Yesterday night, taxi-ing my way to the Covergirl party, I hung up from chatting with Alana about my upcoming trip to El Salvador and my cabbie said, “Are you serious? I mean. are you really, seriously this happy all the time? You laugh and smile more than anyone I’ve ever met…and I have at least […]
Inspiring #16 Liz
Liz Gemmill kicked my butt into gear for 2011… Liz is a subtle inspiration. Why? Liz, being the friend I’ve known LONGEST in LA – we met interning at Conan O’Brian 10 years ago – well she just knew I needed a workout plan this year. Liz was not privy to the fact that I […]
Amaury Nolasco is #19
Amaury is 19th master of my happy. Amaury makes me happy like a teenager. Wanna know how I know this? I woke up after seeing Amaury one night, and I had 10 photos of him in my camera. Amaury has been filming a show in Dallas. I know someone makes me happy if I keep wanting […]
#20- Clean it up Cilia
#20 Cilia and her helpers are masters of clean! JJ Banicki once told me, “Angie.. clean it up, and get rid of the clutter. A cluttered house means a cluttered mind.” I’ve been working on the clean to help clear my mind for writing! Cilia cleans in Angie time meaning I can text her at […]
#21 – Ladies of Contempo
“Manicure Pedicure?” I missed the sound of Diane’s voice saying those words over and over as customers walk into Contempo Nails. I used to be a Contempo regular. I love it there because Diane, the owner, remembers me. I can spontaneously show up, and she makes me feel like I’m the most important person there. […]
#22- Joy Highlights
Joy does my highlights at the Alex Roldan Salon in the London Hotel in West Hollywood. She adds a bit of joy to my dirty blond hair. Every time I leave her, I tell her I feel cleaner:) Joy was my inspiration today. She is probably 80 lbs, 60 or so years old, and wears her […]
JJ Banicki-#23
The number 23 makes me think of Michael Jordan. You know there are certain numbers that will have that one association for life. 23 is MJ for me. So from MJ to JJ…. JJ is my brother and one of my best friends. JJ inspires me everyday and even more so reminds me to be inspired. […]
