BABBLING BROOKE BLOG January 25, 2009

Sexy SCARS Readers:

Welcome back to my BABBLING BROOKE BLOG! As promised, you will get a little HORROR...a little HOLLYWOOD...a little HIGH DRAMA! :)

HORROR: As you all know, the HOT HUNKS Calendar signing was last weekend and we were fortunate to have a lot of the hunks on hand in La La Land. I was lucky to finally meet some of these amazing men in person, after much communication via phone and email, as they flew in from all over the country! I had a chance to connect with one actor/director, in particular, over margaritas...the incredible Anthony Brownrigg! Anthony gave me a copy of his feature, RED VICTORIA, before he left...WOW and WOW! He proved to be a true "Texas" talent across the board! I thought his direction was impeccable! This was one of the most professionally done super low budget "horror" indies I have seen in a long time...adorable, fun, funny, painful and sharply executed. I must admit I was not familiar with Arianne Martin' s work and was very impressed...one talented lady! Anthony, thank you for sharing your talent and I hope I have the opportunity to work with you in the future! Horror peeps...this is a MUST see!

HOLLYWOOD: Okay, as a proud member of Women In Film here in Los Angeles, I just have to take a moment to acknowledge a fabulous new event that this organization of powerful women has created...I cannot tell you how excited I am to attend! :)
"WOMEN IN FILM FRIDAY NIGHT SALON: The WIF Friday Night Salon is a place for women to come and hang out after a long, hard day at work. Come and wait for the traffic to die down while you get pampered before heading home for the weekend! Enjoy Facials, Foot Massages, Manicures, Wine Tastings, a bite to eat...all while networking with fellow members."
Need I say more? :) What a wonderful way to start the weekend...wine and manis with hardworking women who deserve it!

HIGH DRAMA: Gotta rave about a rockin' Friday night at the Brixton with my dear friend and horror icon, Courtney Gains (CHILDREN OF THE CORN)! My multi-talented buddy brought the house down with his band RIPPLE STREET! Check them out:
"RIPPLE STREET was formed in 2008 by horror icon actor COURTNEY GAINS who wanted to try his hand at a rock trio. "After years of playing acoustic gigs I wanted to put a band together and hold down the electric guitar and vocals. " RIPPLE STREET has been playing shows all over Orange County, Long Beach, and San Diego. On JANUARY 23rd, RIPPLE STREET opened for 80's new wave band MISSING PERSONS at THE BRIXTON in Redondo Beach, CA." And, I was there with the wild & sexy Jeff Dylan Graham (PSYCHSOMATIKA) to experience it! I will totally post all you horror fans on Courtney's future gigs and you know I will be there rockin' out!!!

Love & Horror,
XO Brooke Lewis

Sexy SCARS Readers:

Welcome back to my BABBLING BROOKE BLOG! As promised, you will get a little HORROR...a little HOLLYWOOD...a little HIGH DRAMA! :)

HORROR: The HOT HUNKS OF HORROR Calendar 2009 signing at DARK DELICACIES was a smashing success!!! A special thanks goes out to Del & Sue for hosting our charity event. Many thanks also goes out to Chris Hannan from SCARS for his video, Hart, Waka, Joe Hollow and Feo Amante from AMERICAN HORRORS for their hard work shooting hours of event footage and my favorite photographer, Roger A. Scheck. And, to our hunks who flew in from all over the country, friends, guests and fans who came out to support, we are blessed to have you in our lives! Last, but not least, thank you to the courageous and stunning breast cancer survivor, Tommi Traeumer...we do this for women like YOU!!!
Happy Birthday goes out to the fabulous Alan Rowe Kelly!!! :)

HOLLYWOOD: I wanted to share my private screening of BITTER/SWEET with you! My dear Philly friend and uber talented director, Jeff Hare returned from Thailand and was cool enough to show me a cut of his newest feature. The best way to describe this romance and comedy is sweeeeeeet!!! ;) I really really enjoyed it, thought Jeff's direction was superb and give major props to the acting performances of Kip Pardue and Spencer Garrett. The following is a brief synopsis:
"American businessman Brian Chandler has a perfect life with a great job and beautiful fiancée. When his boss, renegade coffee mogul Calvert Jenkins sends him to Thailand to inspect a crop for purchase, Brian meets Ticha, a beautiful Bangkok executive who has long-since given up on the prospects of finding love. At the urging of her old village and her coffee farmer parents, Ticha brings Brian to the coffee fields of Southern Krabi, with the hopes that Brian will purchase coffee there. The only problem with this plan is that Brian and Ticha absolutely can not stand to be around each other. As they go from the cosmopolitan bustle of Bangkok to the pristine, white sands beaches of Krabi, their relationship becomes more than just a coffee deal."
I would definitely recommend lookin' out for this "sweetheart" of a film!

HIGH DRAMA: Okay, so I gotta shout out this story...It shows, once again, why I love cool, powerful women in this business! A few months ago, I ordered a T-shirt from a female oriented horror site that I am very fond of...CADAVERGIRLS. I hadn't received it and wondered where it disappeared to! :) I received a big box last week and found my new t-shirt. To my pleasant surprise, my shirt was surrounded by a bunch of other CadaverGirls goodies...a second t-shirt, buttons, cards, etc...WHAT??? :) Okay, so my order arrived a bit late, but how cool are these horror chicks for stepping up and going above and beyond to make up for the late delivery??? My kinda girls, huh? I shot over an email to thank the coolest Cadaver Girls, Lady D-Kay & Adrenalyn, for their generosity and professionalism...their action showed me that they "take care of their business"! CADAVERGIRLS, you definitely have a loyal fan in me and I look forward to doing business with you in the future! Plus, I sooo love my shirt that says, "We put the "Gore" in Gorgeous...". Thank you, Amy & Kay!

The Hot Hunks Of Horror 2009 Calendar Crew


HOLLYWOOD: Okay, gotta give props to some crew peeps of mine who worked on THE WRESTLER! I went to see it last week and it was freakin' tight!!! Now, that was one indie film that had a lotta heart! Major kudos to director Darren Aronofsky and an amazing cast, starring Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood.
I'm gonna check out a copy of TWILIGHT tonight, so I'll let ya know my thoughts on that next week :)


HIGH DRAMA: I am proud to spread the word that my best friend and world-renowned PSYCHIC MEDIUM, MARILYN PAPA, has launched her company MOONRIDGE SPIRIT! She is a loving soul who will share her spirit with you. The following quote will explain the nature of her work:

"A medium communicates with Spirit. Receptive to the vibrations of the spirit world, she is able to use her guides to connect with yours; often providing an opportunity for interaction with loved ones who have passed. Readings tend to resonate on a much deeper level. Information comes in a nurturing, loving fashion because mediums are channeling Spirit and Spirit always comes from love.
The information is inspirational, sometimes karmic, often life altering. Combining these two modalities, a psychic medium can be a powerful tool to help you remove obstructions in your path and to understand where you are headed.
A reading with me can help you uncover blocks, heal old wounds and discover new doors that need to be opened. I will confirm what is working in your life, highlight paths you may need to consider and challenges you need to overcome.
This work is about integrity for me and I hold it in the highest regard. I am so grateful that I have discovered how to work with Spirit and that I am able to extend these practices to help others. My goal is to see my clients succeed, living happy, fulfilling lives."
For more information or to schedule a reading, please check out her website: http://moonridgespirit.com/
If you mention you were referred by the BABBLING BROOKE BLOG, you will receive a 10% discount (I got the hook up! ;).

Last, but not least, I want to say "thank you" to all my fans for your many emails and fan mail this year...YOU make me smile! :)

Love & Horror,
XO Brooke Lewis

BABBLING BROOKE BLOG 2009!!! :)

Sexy SCARS Readers:


Happy New Year and welcome back to my BABBLING BROOKE BLOG! As promised, you will get a little HORROR...a little HOLLYWOOD...a little HIGH DRAMA! :)


HORROR: I want to start off the new year with an update on Dan Walton's BIND! Things are "lookin' good" and moving forward in pre-production for this low budget horror feature. You all know I am playing Joan and, speaking of "lookin' good", I am excited to have the adorable and talented Raine Brown cast in the role of Summer. Raine will be joining me and the stunning Christa Campbell, who has been cast as Cherry...yeah, guys...it is true!!! ;)
Get out your calendars for another special horror treat! Gotta give props to my boys, so I am listing the press release below...
FISHER & SCHECK TALK REAL LIFE HORROR TALES WITH PARRISH RANDALL AT HORRORMOVIEFANS.COM INDIE HORROR RADIO!
TUNE IN SUNDAY, JANUARY 4TH 2009 (7:05PM CENTRAL STANDARD TIME) AT: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/hmfradio
Ring in the new year with brutal tales of real life horror as lived by horror legend, Hart D. Fisher, and told on a sordid night of talk radio as Parrish Randall turns up the juice on HorrorMovieFans.com Indie Horror Radio! Join Parrish and his guests indy sleaze meister Keith J. Crocker (Blitzkrieg: Escape from Stalag 69 and The Bloody Ape), rising horror star Roger Scheck (Nobody Loves Alice), and the scariest man in America and new horror show host Hart D. Fisher (American Horrors, Poems for the Dead, The Garbage Man) where they will discuss their current projects and Mr. Fisher and Mr. Scheck discuss the shocking story behind their current documentary project in which all of the darkest corners of Mr. Fisher’s life are explored with all new interviews and never before seen personal footage.
When Roger Scheck began looking for his next feature film project, after his searing directorial debut (Nobody Loves Alice), he was brought to a dead stop upon meeting the controversial publisher turned filmmaker. For the first time ever, Hart Fisher opens up about subjects that still bear scars as fresh as when they first formed. The murder of his first love & live in girlfriend during filming of his debut feature film, The Garbage Man; the legal battles fought over the publication of his Jeffrey Dahmer comics; the events which led to a threatened KKK protest march on his home in Illinois; what brought him out to Los Angeles and eventually led to him running the show at rock superstar Glenn Danzig's Verotik in 1995 and the creation of the most controversial comic book in 50 years (Verotika 4's "A Taste of Cherry"), the shut down of Planet Comics in Oklahoma City, the true story behind Hart D. Fisher's "Death" in a 1998 April Fools Day prank gone wrong, discovering a young Gerard (My Chemical Romance Frontman) Way and taking the young artist (at the tender age of 15) under his wing, the decade long legal battle to keep the murderer of his first love in prison. If Fisher hid many of the experiences in his life, which at the time turned him into an insane burned out shell of man, those secrets wounds are laid bare in this shocking new documentary project helmed by Roger Scheck.
Real life horror fans are not going to want to miss out on the first time Mr. Fisher speaks about subjects that nearly killed him, let alone been discussed in public. Tune in for what an amazing story for the new year.


HIGH DRAMA: Drama follows me EVERYWHERE...or, at least, to Philly! :) Okay, so I'm at LAX waiting at the insanely crowded airport to go to Philly for the holidays. A seat just happens to open up next to me and who sits down...director Rachel Goldberg! We don't know each other, so I am minding my biz reading a script, our flight's delayed and we start yapping! It turns out we are both friends with Denise Gossett, actress and Shriekfest owner! We laughed, exchanged cards and Rachel suggested I read her drama/fantasy feature, I CAN'T HEAR YOUR NAME, which she will direct. Really intense and well-written story...I would say look out for this talented lady in the new year!
Now, an extra special Philly treat was our Cohen/Spector Family holiday dinner! Ladies (and, JERSEY Boys), I got to sit next to our multi-talented Broadway star cousin, Jarrod Spector, who plays Frankie Valli in the famous Broadway musical JERSEY BOYS! Belasco, don't be jealous! ;) All I have to say is, "Oh what a night"...

May all your DREAMS & NIGHTMARES come true in 2009!!! :)
Love & Horror,
XO Brooke Lewis
