Who else can say they have puppies, half naked models, a mobile creme brulee truck, and a lawyer in their office all in one day?
Not many I would suspect but it is the 3 ring circus that is my job, and I absolutely love it!
You never know what to expect which keeps you on your toes. Just when you think you've got a boring day ahead of you, the job will throw you a curveball.
It all started when I went up to see the Coffee Fairy. I noticed the guests starting arrive, and they were in the 'holding cell' also known as the lobby. I guess I shouldn't call it that, but sometimes that's how it looks.
I asked the Coffee Fairy to have the models head to one of the bathrooms where we have them get ready, but when I went into the green room to greet the guests I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
One of the models was undressing in the middle of the green room in front of everyone! Ok, so most of the people were with her group, but not the mobile creme brulee truck driver. He got the show of a lifetime!
I tried to be gentle, when I said 'we've got a full house here today so we'll need to make sure there's plenty of room in the green room for everyone.' They assured me they would clean up quickly and be out of everyone's hair, which they did.... until the segment was over.
Later one of the regular guests on the show told me one of the girls had undressed right there in front of everyone... again.
I know they are models, and I know they are used to getting dressed and undressed in front of people, but what I don't understand is why you would do it when there is a bathroom in the green room, about 6 feet away from you.
I was a bit mortified for the other guests to have to witness it.
And all of that happened in the first two hours of my day!
Later in the afternoon while I was sitting back at my desk, I received an email from a PR company in Los Angeles asking if we wanted to interview Scott Weiland the lead singer from Stone Temple Pilots. Awesome!! I thought to myself.
I immmediately called the Cheerleader to see if she was available and her response was 'who? Do I know any of their songs?' I replied with 'yes, of course you do, listen to this one it's Interstate Love Song'
She couldn't hear it so when we started talking again she said 'is this a band from the 90's?' I replied with 'yes, Cheerleader, it is a band from the 90's our era you should know them.'
Bottom line she didn't know them so I let her off the hook and fell on the sword which means I get to do the interview. Pretty cool stuff.
I'm just a normal average girl, from a small town in the midwest, and I've gotten to do some pretty cool things because of this crazy job.
I have gone to the world premiere of a movie, interviewed big name authors, met huge celebrities, been backstage at touring broadway shows, and now I can add interview an aging rock star to the list.
After posting the news on my facebook page, one of my college roommates wrote 'you have a cool job' and I have to agree.
It's a crazy job, but sometimes the curveballs actually pan out and you end up with a great story to tell.
