Merry Christmas from the Key of Awesome

 

The holidays are fast approaching and what better way to spend them than with the biggest hot messes in Hollywood? Welcome to a special Key of Awesome Christmas Parody Spectacular!

Oh what joy it is to play both Ke$ha and Taylor Swift!

This was the perfect way to end the crazy, wild ride that has been 2015. KeshaYouTubeAfter a full day of hosting at The QYOU, I jumped on a red eye to NYC, got into a taxi, and made my way to the YouTube Space right above the bustling Chelsea Market, where I was immediately thrown into hair and makeup for Ke$ha…It took all of five minutes. FingerNow, normally, rocking up to a shoot after being on a plane for six hours isn’t the best look, but apparently that’s exactly what they were going for! Yeah, a part of me was like, “Come on guys- please tell me I don’t look THAT crazy when I get off a plane!” Apparently I do. #WavyHairDontCare

After pretending to be drunk for the morning as Ke$ha, I switched into full Taylor Swift mode. And by switched, I mean I became completely innocent and naive. This meant it took at least 10 takes to figure out how to properly flip someone off. I’m not joking. To the right is the photographic proof of my innocence (I’m the one in the blonde wig). I believe this “lapse in judgement” was really a Christmas present to my parents, because after all the crazy videos I’ve put my family through, at least they’d be proud to know I haven’t mastered the art of flipping someone off… yet! Then I showed everyone what these guns were made of by hoisting up the amazing Mark Douglas for way too long- and voila!- the perfect Christmas anthem and photo thumbnail!

Happy Holidays! See you in 2016 B******!! (That was Ke$ha who said that- not me)

 

 

Inside Japan’s POD Hotel

 

I love Japan. Not only is it a great place to visit, but the amount of weird stuff that I can film is endless. See Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C… you get the point!

 

I’ve been a little sleep deprived this year thanks to a nWebsiteScreenShot2016-02-15at8.11.56PMon-stop work schedule of Vacation Chasers, The QYOU, and hosting the Ultra Music Festivals worldwide- on top of doing my YouTube channel! So, when I had a massive nine hour layover in Tokyo after my already massive nine hour red eye flight from Bali- and BEFORE my 12 hour flight to LAX, I decided to test out Tokyo Narita’s 9 hour Capsule Hotel. And no, not just because nine seemed to be a theme for me that day!

 

I won’t give away too much- you have to watch the video– but let’s just say they need to make this available at ALL international airports. Just look at my before and after pic! The only recommendation I have is for the pod/capsule hotel to be more conveniently located next to the airport. It was extremely complicated to get to the hotel. I had to take an airport bus AND walk through the subway station to get to the hotel. Yes, you read that right- I had to walk through a subway station. It was weird. But then again, Japan is weird (to me), so, following that logic, it kind of makes sense. Hope you enjoy the video!
