Please note that Michelle Obama has a distinct overbite - the lighting isn't conducive for my little flip camera, so it may be hard to see that. I'll get better video coverage soon! My awesomely great hairdresser Kim (http://www.myspace.com/hairdiva05) helped me shape & trim the wig. Please note that sometimes gets a bit messed up in the small box I keep it in! Performance @ Scoreboards in Pomona, CA (www.myspace.com/scoreboardscomedy).

I have recently been shocked (&, of course, flattered!) to hear my landlord now wants to hire ME to rid the other apartments of roaches, too! I'm the frickin' LA roach version of St. Patrick. ; )
For those not filled in on this saga!!!
Please note that I was using the (very limited) software to edit Part 1, so soon we will use someone else's equipment to edit both parts properly!
We DID film the incredible, heart-warming (musical!) version of part 2, but I have to put off editing it for now - so busy!!!
THE GREATEST COMEDY COMES FROM PAIN:
When I was asked to do a featured live webcast from my apt for http://blog.tv/ recently, I still had the tent up & so I decided to do a fun little mini-flick introducing it. My apt has been totally roach-free for a long time now, but I thought it would be fun to make a cute little mini-musical-comedy documentary video about it.
It was a VERY last-minute idea, so it's not exactly a Michael Moore-level video exposé!!! PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FLIP CAMERA SOFTWARE IS LIMITED & DIDN'T ALLOW ME TO EDIT MORE PRECISELY. I have also learned quite a bit about which bug-killers are eco-friendly, such as boric acid, roach gel, caulking, and more!
Unfortunately, there was a sudden, lasting power outage in my neighborhood the night of the web cast, so the show was delayed by a 1/2 hour and I wound up doing it from Starbucks (!) since my apartment had neither electricity nor wireless connection.
See below for:
DEFYING COCKROACHES PART 1. This is just a goofy little thing - we are playing (slightly exaggerated versions of) OURSELVES (yes, that's pretty much us!!!). The skeptical, but gorgeous and hilarious chick in the video is the lovely comedienne Ms. Kenisha Bell (http://www.myspace.com/funnybell)!!!!!!
Stay tuned for Part 2! You will find the ending to be both fascinating and shocking!!! If you are digging it, please post a comment! Thanks!

PS: Yes, I know I'm a nut. ; )
I mixed this at HOME in NYC because I was, ahem, "financially challenged" at the time. A combo of celeb impressions, including 1 at a Broadway theatre with a tiny audience because it was ONE month after 9/11. Lastly, is studio clips from an Off-Broadway show called "Tower of Babble." Enjoy!
This is a commercial I did for Fashionlink. Song on here is by Ben Folds Five; coinkidentally I interviewed them for a magazine article I wrote about them a while back. : )
