Let’s face it. I lead a very glamorous life. Everyday, I roll out of my bed, brush my teeth, go downstairs, make my coffee and feed my kids breakfast. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I put on my makeup and put in my contacts, on Tuesday and Thursday. I don’t. I typically slide on my best good pair of yoga pants but sometimes I shake things up by putting on my sweatpants that I bought on clearance at Target for $6.
I’m always, always topped off by my finest luxury graphic tee. And my hairstylist daily puts in a ponytail using only the finest of ponytail holders.
And my cuisine? Consists of a Nutrigrain Bar for breakfast or on my most leisurely of days, a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. For lunch? Peanut butter and jelly.
So, a few weeks ago, when I was invited to attend a luncheon in downtown Chicago with the actress, Monica Potter from the new series called Trust Me on TNT, I was all like “and give up this luxury for half of a day?”
But, for the sake GETTING OUT OF MY HOUSE AND CHANGING OUT OF MY PAJAMAS, I accepted the invitation. (this is unlike the call with Patrick Dempsey, where I sat on my bed in my super hot yoga pants.)
This was this past Friday. Prior to Friday, I was also sent two episodes of the new series to view at home, just to see what I think.
I’m not going to lie to you. I really liked it. It’s different. It’s not the same ol’ CSI, it’s not a medical show, it’s not reality, it’s a good show with great actors. I’m a huge fan of Eric McCormack and love that he’s in another show. I was interested in how believable he would be as a non-gay actor. At first it was difficult for me, but after awhile, not so much. He’s such a good actor. (and I’m pretty sure he wants to be my boyfriend, but that’s between you and me.)
I don’t watch much TV, I typically start to watch something and then I get distracted and turn it off. But this show held my attention. The series premiere is on tonight on TNT, CHECK IT OUT. And check out how cute Monica Potter is, she’s totally cute in person and she’s also a real Mom to three children.
I was able to sit right next to her while eating lunch, which was nice because we talked about things and it was like she wasn’t a celebrity. I tried talking her into getting an iPhone. (You’re welcome, Apple.)
And did I mention I was hired to photograph the event? It’s true. I was.
Love her.
In case you’re having trouble figuring it out, that’s me on the right and Monica on the left. I know, the resemblance is uncanny.
Here’s Monica loving on Asher and Ivy.
We were able to sit and ask her questions during lunch. She’s answered them wonderfully.
It was fun. Very fun.
Do me a favor, check out Trust Me tonight and let me know what you think. m’kay?

Hey that is awesome. Congrats. It looks like a fun time had by all. And the little ones are adorable as always.

Congratulations on being hired for the pictures for it!! Very cool!! You look beautiful! Have to ask, (I know, probably way too literal and very silly a question!!) — do you really do the 3 days on 2 days off re:makeup? (That’s about right for me, although not a complete alternate — and the days I do it doesn’t go on until I leave the house to pick up the big kids from school!!)

Thank you for remembering us “little people.” Will you have a special signal or something for us when you make it to the photographer’s hall of fame? Well done

What fun! Looks like it was worth the hassle of getting all dolled up.
Like you, I am a yoga pants, no makeup kind of girl, at least a few days a week.

Gee, my grand-daughter really gets around. I love the picture you took of her and Steph. You can see her hair growing…she can almost hold a bow. I will watch tonight. I love Eric as an actor too.

Cool! I’ll even try to watch the show. But bedtime is usually 10 p.m. – because 4:30 a.m. comes so quickly. Congrats on shooting the event!

Ah, Beth… I love that you had such a lovely time! You look very glamorous in the photos. Movie-star-ish! But you’d look beautiful if you showed up with Patrick Dempsey, in your pajamas, eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich…
I also admire Monica Potter and will definitely be tuning in!

holy crap, I’ve actually exchanged emails with a gal who’s spoken to Mc Dreamy (not just in her head, like I do) AND Monica Potter? no freakin’ way! yeah, I was pretty sure I hated you (in the nicest possible way, of course) and now I’m positive about it.
congratulations!

I’ve done the waxing and all I can say is exfoliation is a must. There’s nothing like getting your stuff ripped and then having these stupid little red bumps all over.
I’ll let you imagine the location.
So your hair might be gone, but now you’ve got irritation.
And that’s so hot….

You know what? You SUCK. You get to do all these fun events with COOL people and I? Am oozing jealous out of my pores. I have got to get my husband a job back in the heartland, damnit. I want to be part of your posse.
