Hollywood Prom

Umm, so I'm pretty sure this will be my absolute favorite blog entry of all time...long story short, I got to go the Academy Awards, or as I like to call it, Hollywood Prom. My friend Jesse works for AMPAS and invited me as his date!



New dress...check! Spray tan...check! Scary MAC makeover...check!



Jesse has been to the Oscars 11 times so he really knows the ropes on how to strategically place yourself in red carpet position to end up on camera, but I never thought we'd get as lucky as we did! Right as we pulled up to valet, a limo pulls up 5 feet away - who's limo you ask? Only the King and Queen of the Prom, Brad and Angelina! It was one of the most surreal moments of my life...we were literally the first two people behind them walking onto the red carpet! See for yourself...


I had to summon every
"keep it cool" nerve in my body to get through the next 30 seconds of walking, but I did it (well, I wasn't perfect, but at least I didn't start waiving to the camera or anything stupid like that)! I soon had a dozen emails/
texts/calls of people saying they saw me on E! Jesse was even able to snap a few pics of them before he had to check his camera in with security. Anyway, the show was spectacular, and it didn't even matter that we were in the highest balcony...you could not wipe the red carpet grin off my face the whole night! And after the show, we even ran into Kurt and Erin!
