Joebellesis: While I have never read your posts I send my condolences to you on the loss of your husband. And I agree that sometimes flights of fantasy are a fun read. My issue (serious) is that pnms come here for advice and how tos during recruitment. And yes, sometimes (I believe) that true stories sound off, but sometimes "off" is the truth. But there was something about the pink sequined stockings...........

Cali: As a longtime Californian with ties to the business I am confused: Did you mean the CW network? The management there is headed by a woman and a man from the Tribune family I believe. And, as for gated communities in SoCal, in areas that would lead to a comfortable commute to studios there is only one on the pseudo westwide: in the PO Box. And if you live here you know what I mean. No home there is "only" 6000 square feet, they are much larger. The rest are in the (gasp) VALLEY, and a person, such as yourself would never admit to living there. Oh, sorry, Fremont Place is also gated on the cityside. And, while gorgeous, a family such as your own would NEVER live there.

And, as for the Playboy centerfold mom....we were friendly with a couple with those credentials (not Stanford however). They had two sons.

And no, I am absolutely not stalking/googling information. As I pointed out in my daughter's story, Los Angeles is a small town. The world of show business is smaller still....so....
