My name is Shelby and I'm 20 yrs old. Born a California girl but a New Yorker at heart. Basically I'm just trying to figure shit out, which is proving to be more difficult then I anticipated. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm an aspiring comedy writer/performer. Comedy is my life, SNL, UCB, iO, Stand -Up, Sketch, Improv, Sitcoms, etc. I love it all. I also love tv, a lot ... like an obsessive amount. I'm also into CrossFit and fitness and all that shit. So there is variety in this blog!


Feel free to hit up my ask! :-)

 

And the boredom seeps in.

I went through my dash, I ate, and I watched Girls. The jury is still out on how I feel about it. I’ve watched 4 episodes total and they weren’t in a row so we’ll see. However, now I’m bored. It’s my own fault I suppose. I don’t feel like doing anything, yet I don’t want to do nothing. Strange. Anyone have any suggestions? Or perhaps would like to hit up my good ol’ ask??

Women of Saturday Night Live - Rachel Dratch

You know what? What I didn’t want to do was pretend that I had any answers about women in comedy and Hollywood. I just wanted to tell my story and what I was experiencing because some other women might have a totally different experience. Maybe it’s me! I don’t know. I didn’t want to seem like, “Oh, the man is keeping me down!” This is just what actually happened. I actually was much more optimistic about my career even after 30 Rock, but literally, these auditions I would get … I wasn’t exaggerating. I was only getting auditions for obese people or 65-year-old people. Or butch lesbians. That was it! Then I realized it was my reality. No amount of meetings or auditions and convincing people, “Well, I’m different!” would change anything. I just had to accept what was coming my way, so that’s what I wrote about. I don’t think I have some sociological “women in Hollywood” message.

I got some fetch boat shoes today! I don’t have a boat buy these shoes are really cute. They’re pretty preppy and that’s not usually my style but I couldn’t resist. Plus it’s summer time. 

Also I’m watching Mean Girls on E!

“I really love cursing a lot. But as I get older, I realize it’s a little unseemly for women of a certain age. But then once you pass sixty-five, you can hit it full tilt again and it’s charming. Once you’re Lauren Bacall’s age, you can be like, ‘What the fuck.’” [x]
