Battle of the Sexes x L.A. Premiere

Hi lovelies,

Last night I got to attend the star-studded L.A. premiere of Battle of the Sexes. Emma Stone looked flawless in platinum blonde hair and a sparkling silver outfit, while Steve Carrell looked distinguished in his dark suit.

Emma's performance as tennis legend, equal rights pioneer, and LGBQT advocate, Billie Jean King, was uncanny and you forget that you're watching Emma and you really feel as though you're watching Billie Jean in the 1970's.

Beyond the way she speaks and looks, Emma nails Billie Jean's signature walk and it was impressive how precise her tennis move were to mimic the legend's expertise.

Steve's portrayal of Bobby Riggs showed the troubled gambler's life in a compassionate way. Revealing that he was more of a lost soul looking for meaning than a rambling bigot. Elizabeth Shue also gave a riveting performance as his patient yet fed-up wife.

Sarah Silverman gave a compelling performance and she made us laugh throughout the entire film with her endearing portrayal of Gladys Heldman.

But what really stole the show was the powerful speech that the real Billie Jean King gave prior to the movie. She told us about her journey and how she paved the way for women's professional tennis to exist today.

Billie Jean King is also inspiring us through her partnership with Citizen Watches. Both represent excellence, innovation, and ingenuity. You can get the full details on their perfect partnership below.

"CITIZEN, a pioneer in watchmaking and innovative technology since 1918, promotes excellence and creativity with a deep-rooted respect for craftsmanship.

A simple yet revolutionary concept, Eco-Drive harnesses the power of light from any natural or artificial light source and converts it into energy. Using a renewable natural resource instead of filling our landfills with discarded watch batteries.

Our fight for equal rights and equal pay continues to this day, but Battle of the Sexes is a must-see to inspire us to keep fighting the good fight, with love.

CAA x Blackpills x Super High

Hi lovelies,

The other night I had the pleasure of attending CAA's L.A. premiere of the Blackpills series Super High. Blackpills is a digital media company that is a pioneer in short scripted content.

The digital series is written and directed by Edouard Pluvieux and Kev Adams, who also stars along with YouTube star DeStorm Power and model Sarah McDaniel.

The premise of the breakout show is that this misfit team is able to fight crime after receiving super powers from magical weed. Although it might sound a bit far-fetched, the show is refreshingly funny and action-packed.

You can watch all 10 episodes of the first season starting on September 25 on Blackpills. 

Angry Birds Makes For A Feel Good Movie

Hi lovelies,

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of attending the Angry Birds movie premiere here in Los Angeles, CA. The experience went above and beyond of just screening the movie, as the star-studded red carpet included carnival games, real life birds and animals, and life-sized versions of Red, Chuck, and Bomb.

The movie was feel good all around and I was laughing from beginning to end along with the rest of the audience. What I loved most is that the message of the movie, that all emotions are okay and natural to have, even anger, as long as we are in control of them and use them for good, wasn't delivered in a cheesy way, but in a hilarious and relatable way.

I found myself immersed in the fun, vibrant, and cheerful world of the Angry Birds and even found moments of when I've acted like Red in my own life. I'm allowed to get angry when I have to repeat that I want a skinny, iced cappuccino, with double foam, and a shot of sugar-free hazelnut syrup, at Starbucks right? Kidding aside, what I truly loved about Red's character is that he never gave up and was tenacious during his journey to becoming a hero.

Another gem and key takeaway from the animated movie, is that we must first believe and have faith in ourselves. Even though the birds were flightless, they were still able "to fly" by any means necessary, i.e. a sling slot, in order to take back what's theirs. I also loved it when the Mighty Eagle made this point after his eccentric and whacky shenanigans.

My verdict? Angry Birds is a delight and is sure to make all members of the family laugh, feel good, and most of all, want to take flight. So head over to the theaters on May 20th to go see Angry Birds.
