Hot Sluts: Rated R!


I am a series regular on a new webisode being sponsored by Comedy Central that will premiere this month around Valentine's Day. It's called "Hot Sluts: Rated R!" Crazy name, huh? But it fits it perfectly! The series is hot, steamy and HILARIOUS! It's a comedic nod to the sexploitation women-in-prison films from the 70's and 80's. My character Tawny, the DJ of the club where the series takes place, is based on Tamara Dobson's character in "Chained Heat" (google it - her performance is classic).


I got the chance to work with A.D. Miles from "Reno 911" and "Dog Bites Man" and Jo Lo Truglio from "Superbad". It also stars Sandy Martin from "Napoleon Dynamite" and Alison Brie from "Mad Men" (which I love by the way). It was such a great experience! The set was fun and loose, and the whole cast and crew was so positive.


You can find the webisode at atom.com or comedycentral.com. Laugh and enjoy!

Shooting an AFI short this weekend!


This weekend I have the honor of working with acclaimed director/writer Ka'Ramuu Kush. Believe me, this man is one to watch! His film is titled "As It Is", and it poses: "What would you do if you passed God on the street?" Would you recognize him? What would you say? Would you pass by in fear? In astonishment? What if he needed help? As you can see, this one topic can lead to a bevy of questions.


I play Opal, an exotic dancer who is winding down with her two girlfriends after a long night of "makin' that cash". The three women engage in lighthearted conversation about what they would do if confronted with the possibility of having sex with God. But, as religious conversations often do, the discussion quickly gets serious and tensions rise.


The rehearsal for this was amazing - very thought provoking. And I'm sure the film is going to be brilliant! I will let you know when and where to check it out...
