My Angel

Forgive me, I have forgotten to give credit where credit is due! During my identity crisis the other night, it was actually my friend and fellow WeHo celebutante Angel Benton who talked me off the ledge. In fact, key phrases like "Anything worth achieving in life is going to be scary," actually belong to him and you can find more of Angel's words of wisdom on his crazy ass blog at: http://angel-benton.livejournal.com/ You may know him from his blockbuster indie film, "Britney, Baby... One More Time" or from his work as a host at local club events. Or if you live in Japan, you know him as the Nancy O'Dell of Japaneese television! Yeh, he and I are like two peas in a pod really. Our work is reeeeally scattered with a very diverse fan base.
Anyway, one thing I didn't mention in my "I'm going crazy" entry was another bit of wisdom Angel imparted. While I was frantically running through the long list of things I hate about myself and how it is preventing me from actually getting anything accomplished in my life, Angel stopped me and said, "Okay, well. What DO you like about yourself? I mean, you've had sex with lots of people! Is there anything about yourself you like?'
That didn't take much thought on my part. "Oh yeah! I love my lips and I love my cock. But I don't think they're why I get so much play. I think the only reason I get it is because I'm just plain a good fuck."
Angel honed in on that one immediately. "Well, there's a start!" he laughed. "Wait, now you are totally confident in that?"
"ABSOLUTELY!" I laughed back. "That is one area that I am completely confident in my abilities. I may secretly think they hate the package, but I know they love the work!"
"Well, if you were hiring someone for a job, would you want to pick someone who looked good or someone who was good at what they do?" he asked. Hmm! This is going deep! So to speak. "And let's face it, they're there to get a job done, right? And how many totally gorgeous boys do you know who have been awful lays? And if you have confidence in this area of your life, why aren't you going and fucking Hollywood on every audition? Why don't you walk in and make them your bitch with the same energy you do with any trick? Why don't you tackle all of your projects that way?"
OH MY! Naturally, I loved it! It's true! I mean, I really should be working on feeling that confident in all areas of my life, but that is something that takes time. It doesn't happen overnight. And if I have an audition tomorrow, this bit could come in handy! Cuz after all, like that quote on my News Desk the other week: We're never ready for anything. We just find a way to do it and that makes us ready.
