Sorry, Channeling the Food Critic in Me will be on a short hiatus.  I’m celebrating a big birthday.  In honor of my big day, enjoy the video below.  When I landed the national Dial Soap commercial, a day before shooting I got a call from the producer.  I was informed I would only be able to wear bathing suit bottoms.  No top at all.  Topless!  I was then assured this would be a closed set.  Only the director, producer, cameraman and a a few people from the ad agency.  They said I could choose to wear band-aids over my nipples which I was never going to do.  I showed up on the set to quite possibly the most amount of people on a sound stage I had ever seen.  More than a handful of men from the ad agency and at least fifty to sixty other people, mostly men.  I’m not shy, I was fine only wearing the bathing suit bottom.  But, then the water pressure was so intense it made my teeny tiny bathing suit bottom fill up and fall off of me.  I was suddenly filming in front of an audience in my “birthday suit.”  And, no this wasn’t a dream.  A few days later the director called me at home asking me out on a date–to which I declined.

I will be eating at Nobu in Malibu.  I can already tell you the food is great!!
