Premier American Horror Story “Freak Show” Let The Carnival Begin!!!!
The freaks come out at night, tonight is no exception
Welcome to Jupiter, Florida the year 1952 when the American Carnival comes to town with its freaky performers that are trying to survive the loss of the dying art of the American Carny experience. The season will be centered around one of the remaining freak shows of the period and the performers will do anything to keep the business thriving.
GETTING FREAKY WITH IT
Your ticket will take you behind the curtain of “American Horror Story Freak Show” for an hour and a half this evening. Ms. Elsa Mars (Jessica Lang) head ring leader of the freak show will introduce you to some new character this season as well as continue her selfish narcissistic ways with the familiar faces that you know so well from previous seasons! Kathy Bates is back but this time as a Bearded Lady and Patti LaBelle will appear in a four episode arch as Regina Ross’s mother. Regina Ross, you may ask with question; you knew her in season 3 “Coven” as Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe). Sarah Paulson scored two roles this season as the conjoined twins Bette and Dot Tattler.
You know we all are freaks so join in the fun this evening on social media and use the hashtag #AHSFreakShow, #AHS and #AHSFX because, We Are All Freaks!
Tune In tonight: “American Horror Story: Freak Show” Airs Wednesday, 10 p.m. on FX
Cannabis Edibles Savory or Sweet?
by mitzimsa on October 6, 2014
Cannabis, Marijuana, Pot, Weed or Mary Jane it’s all the same!

Gourmet edibles are a big business and everyone has become crazy for cup cakes, doughnuts, popcorn and gourmet flavored ice cream.
Food trucks festives, fairs and gatherings deliver the best of the best in each category. Truck food chasing has become date nights for couples and friends. The craze to follow food trucks on social media while stalking the truck has become quite common and sometimes looked upon as an addiction.
With the explosion of the marijuana legalization in several U.S. states and more states facing filing of paticition to legalize, the demand for more options of consumption other then smokeing is on the rise.
People have long claimed the pain releveing effects of marijuana. Doctors have been skpecile in the past but are jumping on the band wagon by distribution of license. The license allows one to get stoned to cope, mask or dull pain. There seems to be a strain for just about every elment one may have. The clinics will advise as to what keeps you peppy while stimulating hunger, can put you to sleep at night or what kind you should choose to give the affect your in search of without the munchies…who new!
As I recall early this year here in Los Angeles a marijuana farmers market by the name of California Heritage Market was held. Cannabis and it’s edible counterparts were on display for direct sale from the grower and or maker of the products. People lined up for blocks and blocks with cash in hand and more than a 4 hour wait to get their hands on their product of choice. Quite as it’s kept there’s even a sexual enhancement product for women. This product is going to require some additional research so we’ll cover this at a later date.
You know, you want to know or be in the know… so check out this video! Loll!!
All At Your Local Cannabis Dispensaries
The last I knew when you picked up a prescription you went to a pharmacy or drug store. The only way that I knew you could consume cannabis (marijuana) was to smoke, drink as a tea or eat in the form of a brownie. Today picking up your prescription can be in the form of a cookie, rice treat, lollipop, soda, taffy and now pizza sauce! The LA based Podey Pizza has started selling jars of pot-infused pizza sauce at marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington State and Colorado.
Pizza Has Gone To Pot
Yes I said pizza sauce, from my understanding this is the newest way to consume cannabis on the market. Each 5-ounce jar of Podey Pizza sauce sells for $20 and contains 300mg of medical cannabis per jar, enough for one large pizza or two smaller ones, according to Steve Thomas, Podey Pizza’s vice president of operations.
Natural High Pie
If your not into making your own pizza do not fret Stoned Oven Gourmet Mandibles, also based in Los Angeles, just started selling six-inch pot pizzas for $10 each. Each pizza contains 250 mg of ethanol-extracted tetrahydrocannabinol, otherwise known as THC concentrate, best of all: The company will deliver its cannabis pizzas for now… to the doors of a limited number of neighborhoods! This is going to cause some serious post code envy!!!

Stanley Cup Viewing On The Lot!
by mitzimsa on September 19, 2014
CHAMPIONS OF THE STANLEY CUP
Fox Presents The Viewing of the Stanley Cup and it’s protector, the Los Angeles Kings Mascot Bailey! For starters I have to say this was a popular event here on the lot. I walked over to the event with hopes of a view and a possible chance for a snap shot with the cup. I saw people walking as if they were out to win the title of Champion Race Walker 2014! At that point I knew this was some serious business. Once I arrived to the landing of Bldg. 103 all I could see was Black, Grey and White LA Kings Hockey Shirts, there were T’s, jerseys, banners and pucks the assortment of memorabilia was endless. A BBQ, music and even a cake replica of the Stanley Cup. Why people had even pulled their children out of child care for the opportunity to take a picture with Bailey and the Cup. I watched people transform into fans while standing in line, most of the children were not quite as frantic with excitment as their parents. They seemed upset with the fact that they had been forced to make wardrobe changes while the sun beat down on their faces and the long line. Often while strolling through the crowd I would hear a parent repeat “You want to see Bailey! Right? With a silly smile on their face. I felt like the kids, “if I can see him now, I don’t want to wait” this was said with a whine in their voice and with a frown on face.
So, I weaved my way through the crowd caught a few shots of Bailey, The Stanly Cup, Crowds, Line Action and Selfies, I knew there was no way I could continue to stand out in this 100 degree heat. It was so hot I thought the devil was on my tail and I found myself at times wishing somebody would throw cold water on me so I could melt like the wicked witch of the west!!!
YOU SEXY THING!
Any who, I can say the Stanley Cup is one sexy trophy it stands tall and proud and shines like new money! I could tell that it made everyone that got close feel the same way because their faces would light up bright as the sun!
Thanks, Kings Organization for allowing the residents of LA the opportunity to join in on the celebration of pride, Los Angeles Home of the Champions and The Stanley Cup!!
FOOD TRUCK MANIA AT FOX!
by mitzimsa on September 14, 2014
FOOD ON WHEELS

FOOD TRUCK FRIDAYS!! I know you’ve heard the saying “Get in where you fit in” well that’s exactly what has happened over here on the 20TH Century Fox Lot & Plaza! Fox has decided to jump on the bandwagon of FOOD TRUCK MANIA!!!
On Fridays we have a food truck invasion the trucks take over prime real estate on the lot adjacent to the dining lawn which also provides an opportunity for people watching while you chat with friends. After all what’s a good food truck festival without people watching?
GET SOCIAL WITH STREET FOOD
I no longer have to turn to social media to locate a Friday afternoon Food Truck FESTIVAL, Fox brought those food trucks right outside my home away from home (work). On Fridays around 11:30 when the trucks open their windows for business people come from every direction as if some major player of the next block buster movie or tv show just walked on to the lot. We really don’t get as excited as people on the outside of the gates of make believe. To be truthful it’s pretty much normal for us to see major players on a regular if you recognize them in person.
THERES GOT TO BE A FOOD TRUCK FOR YOU!
There’s no limits to the type of food that you can find on food trucks Sushi, Kobe Beef, Organic, Vegan, Waffles, Ice Cream, Cupcakes just about anything you can think of… theres a truck for that! Most Fridays we’re in for a well mixed variety and hoping that it’s not something we can’t get at one of our regular eating establishment on the lot. On occasion for special events we have the big corporate boys swing by like In & Out Burger, Baja Fresh and Sprinkles. Food trucks are here to stay, if you haven’t tried a food truck lately you should take the plunge, they’ve really stepped up their game it’s not the roach coach any more!
Tall Ship’s Festival LA 2014 & One Big Rubber Duck!!!
by mitzimsa on August 22, 2014
World’s Largest Rubber Duck Comes To LA!
The waters of the world are her bath tub…Florentijn Hofman’s Rubber Duck will grace the Port of Los Angeles for its west coast debut at the Tall Ship’s Festival LA, Aug 20-24! I want to point out that the 6 story Rubber Duck is non gender, since I’m such a girly girl anything this cute has to be a she in my mind. As if a Big Rubber Duck isn’t cute enough a baby chick has been franticly roaming around LA like a ship without water looking for her parent. My guess is a strong current pushed her into the LA Harbor back in July before her mama’s arrival. The little chick has been sighted roaming the streets and waterways of Los Angeles. She’s was spotted Downtown LA, Los Angeles Zoo, the Botanical Gardens and once she got close to the waters of Venice Beach. She made friends with Bailey LA Kings Mascot, Mayor Tom Tait of Anaheim and even checked in with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti in hope of a few pointers of where she could possibly find her momma. With every encounter she was spreading the word to Angelinos near and far that her momma was on her way to escort 12 tall ships into the Los Angeles Harbor at the Tall Ship’s Festival!
Making A Splash!!
August 20th 7:45 am The day has arrived and I was there…I was more than excited when I spotted the World’s Largest Rubber Duck moving slowly towards me from under the Vincent Thomas Bridge on her way to the Downtown Harbor! I instantly felt myself go into a child like state of mind. I could not wait for her to get close enough for my selfie I won’t say how many attempts I made while I waited for my close up, just see for yourself below please don’t judge!!
After the morning excitement of her arrival, I chatted with some of the other admirers and took liberty of taking additional pictures of that big duck docked at the Downtown Harbor Outlook. While waiting for the afternoon parade I took in some other sights of San Pedro and found a nice little mom pop diner to have breakfast.
With a few hours to kill and feeling a bit tired from the anticipation of the arrival of the World’s Largest Duck I decided to take a nap right outside of the dock where she was parked. It was nice to see people pull up and run out of their cars to take photos and selfies with the Rubber Duckie! While taking my siesta I could hear people shrieking, ooing, aahing and laughing as they encountered the Big Yellow Duck! Once I came out of my slumber I looked to my right and Rubber Duckie was gone, while sleeping her time had come to go take her position at the front of the line for the parade!
All Aboard Battleship Iowa
Off to the top of the bow of the USS Iowa to watch the massive duck escort the tall ships into the harbor. All of a sudden in the clear of the breakfront I could see her head, before long she rounded the corner in all her glory surrounded by the tall ships the announcer aboard the USS Iowa called the ships by name one by one as they passed before me.
The day was a special day for me having an encounter with the world’s largest duck just tickled me pink! Watching the beautiful tall ship’s coming into the harbor and going on my hometown name sake battle ship, made me proud to call myself an Iowan as always. But, of all honors that could be bestowed up on me on a day that I was feeling so very special…I was labled a Duck Groupie!!!
Come one come all this Rubber Duck will be serving up smiles all weekend long! This a chance in a life time experience so sail on down to the Port of Los Angeles for the Tall Ship’s Festival LA 2014 where you can get up close and personal with a childhood friend , go aboard the USS Battleship Iowa and enjoy the food of 50+ food trucks during the festival.
Festival Hours: Saturday, Aug. 23-Sunday, Aug. 24, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tickets and pre-paid parking: www.tallshipsfestivalla.com/ or call 877-4FLY-TIX.
Over-Ear Headphones – Veoldyne vQuite Are For Me!
by mitzimsa on August 7, 2014
Velodyne Headphones Sound!!
I can say that music is my life, I’m surrounded by it on a daily basis. Being employed by a major movie and television studio in the music department I hear and listen to music of one genre or another all day long. Considering I come from the era of the Motown Sound as well as being big on Funk and Jazz, I want to hear every string of the guitar, beat of the drums, thump of the base and let’s not forget the bad ass brass sound of the horns! That’s why I’m in love with the Velodyne vQuite Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones. I get exactly what I need from these headphones I have so many good things to say about this pair of cans but, I’ll start with the look.
I like the fact that they’re a basic matte black, anyone that known’s me knows I’m into fashion but when it comes to headphones I don’t need flash, bold color or hype that other brands use to make a fuss on the fashion bandwagon. Besides black coordinates with everything no matter the trend of the moment! Velodyne worked in their signature V quietly on both sides of the headphone while putting more effort into the features that matter such as their clear, crisp, clean sound.
Headphones v Fashion
Comfort, the cushion that surrounds your ear and cushions the top of your head is so soft it allows the headphones to fit snug to your head like a glove, while not putting a lot of pressure on the head, more importantly to me; my hair style of the day! I’m sure you would agree that comfort is major when talking headphones. Why I’ve found that I can wear any type of earring without any distraction from the fit…just saying “please don’t make me think about wardrobe choice when it comes to listening to music” Velodyne get’s an A++ for not making me choose!
The headphone cable is the first I’ve ran across that’s made of a fabric type material with inline controls which you can plug into either side of the headphones for your convenience and comfort and feels good to the touch; I’m such a girl! When in a noisy place with a tap of my finger I can activate the noise reduction button and cancel out the surrounding sound, I find this feature to be as good as other headphones with this function. But, what’s cool about this pair of headphones; you don’t always want complete noise reduction. I can still fake like I can’t hear you while hearing everyword! Loll!!
In the box you’ll also find a USB charging cable and handy carrying pouch. Which brings me to the breakdown of this headphone when it comes to storing, these babies fold down to half their size, slip into the pouch and fit right into my handbag or tote which is great for travel and transporting around town while hanging out or running errands.
In my book for under $300.00 Veoldyne Headphones are a great investment and statement piece… remember this is coming from a girl that is into fashion, trends and getting the most bang for her buck!
GIVEAWAY!!
Headphone up for grabs Yes, (2) pairs of Velodyne vLeve Headphones are ready and waiting for you! Sign up for your chance to garb a pair!
Chuck E Cheese Washed Away The Play Date Blues!
by mitzimsa on August 4, 2014
Get Out & Play!
I jumped on the road and headed north of Los Angeles to San Jose for BlogHer14! After my arrival the grandkids called and said I was too far away from home. I tried to put those little minds at ease, by explaining that I was out running, jumping, screaming and having some fun with my friends like they do when the go out to play! I was sure that my answer would be accepted since I had delivered the news with childlike wonder in my voice!! Well, that was a #fail, in unison the reply was “We like to have fun so we should be with you” Great, now my heart is laying on the floor and I’m feeling guilty…I officially have the Play Date Blues.
Since this was my first BlogHer experience, I wanted to take it all in, after all I shelled out a pretty penny to get here. I needed to make sure that I made the expense worthwhile. With eyes wide open I walked through the doors of the Expo Hall. To no surprise what I found was very similar as to what I had described to my grandkids earlier in the day…the hall was all a buzz, laughing, tears of joy, and screams you could feel the excitement! There were all types of brands being represented it appeared there was something for everyone.
As I weaved my way through the sea of ladies with their cards in hand, I noticed they were making a bee line toward on particular booth I couldn’t quite tell the brand. But, as I turned the corner it was clear to see that my Play Date Blues would soon come to a halt, once I made it to the front of the line to chat with the Chuck E Cheese Crew Member! As I waited patiently I noticed there were games stacked high and a spinning wheel was available to give your luck a try. To the right of the wheel Mr. Operation stood in all his glory and gander with lights in full bloom! While waiting my turn I sized up the wheel hoping to land on Monopoly and receive one of the green little totes that held the famous gold coins (tokens).
My Big Spin On The Chuck E Cheese Wheel
Finally it was my turn, I took one step back and put all I had into my spin! Yes! I did it, it stopped on my game of choice!! I reached for my game and I thought I would be on my way, that is until one of the Chuck E Cheese Crew member started to inquire if I had children. I laughed and replied “no little ones for me but, I’m a proud grandmother of eight!” The crew member introduced herself and handed me a Guest Pass along with her business card. In return I handed her my card and took one last glance at hers…the heading read “We Want To Partner With You!!!


















Sure, eating seasonally doesn’t allow you to eat what you want when you would like so, you’ll have to wait for your favorites to come back around season to season. But, it does give you a reason to add some new dishes to your repertoire. If you just can’t phantom being without a certain fruit or veggie over the winter, I would suggest canning or checking with the farmers at the market; many offer preserved selections as well.
