One of a many articles I agreed to write because it was USC related or it was physically close to me. Usually, these are the kinds I regret signing up for, since they usually cause me to stay up until 2am procrastinating. http://bit.ly/cRDELG
EMC Monkeys
Wow, my new best friends. Remember in January I mentioned a boy named Danny Sre? Well when we met, he gave me his phone number and when I got home I looked him up. Turns out, he’s pretty popular in his world. So I figured interviewing his team was worth a shot. And wow, what an experience it was. Since then, I have hung out with EMC a few times, and they are all such…um…well I can’t really say nice since they were picking on me and more so on each other. But they are real. And a blast to hang out with…That’s for sure. http://bit.ly/cmv3pm
American Idol Costume Designer: Soyon An
Another wild goose chase to try to get a phoner, After several back and forths with the publicist, Soyon and I finally managed to talk, at about 10:30 pm my time, 1:30 am hers. I was very appreciative for her time…even if it did cut into my sleep. http://bit.ly/dt3eaA
USC’s New President: Max Nikias
We got a new president, I wrote about it. Super boring to write since I just used a press release and Wikipedia as research. Good thing Facebook always brings inspiration. http://bit.ly/brqzXy
The Z Palette
Ah, here is where I learned that no matter what your opinion may be, your superiors have the power to change it without your consent. This is a product review about an awful product called the Z Palette, which is basically an empty makeup palette with a magnetic bottom. Useless if you ask me…in fact, below is my original ending, and here’s the link to the published version http://bit.ly/bfOkkI Tell me what you think and if I have a reason to be a little bit upset.
The Z Palette is a good organizational tool that is supposed to help streamline makeup kits. I’m all for consolidation, but I simply still can’t see the necessity for this extra hardware. Besides, it takes the fun out of buying makeup for how pretty the packaging is. The results, the Z Palette could be worth it if you’re a make-up professional, but for the average Jane looking for some blush and shadow to dab minutes before class, suck it up and stay old-school with a make-up bag.
Annenberg Space for Photography- Water: Our Thirsty World
Oh, this was one of the assignments I agreed to because (I thought) it was somewhat USC affiliated. Turns out, Annenberg was a guy who had SO much money, he has a bunch of foundations all over SoCal, and the space for photography is just one of them. I did get a nice lunch out of it though. http://bit.ly/bQVB2o
USC Trojan Marching Band on Glee
Oh this was exciting to write. I stayed up until about 3 AM the night before it was due talking to Guido about it. He ended up doing a lot of heavy editing for both of our sakes, becasues apparently, had it printed the way I had written it, we both could have been in a lot of trouble. Oh and then if that was not bad enough, I got the premiere date wrong. Whoops. http://bit.ly/dCyYMC
Jeremy Ray Valdez
A slightly painful interview, but only because I felt super awkward talking to him at first. Turns out, he’s a pretty chill guy and was very helpful in helping me get my stories straight. Oh and funny thing happened weeks after this interview happened. He was at USC’s campus and I totally recognized him, except I brushed it off because I thought “Why on earth would he be here at 9 PM on a weeknight?” So I contacted his publicist the next day…yep…it was him.
