• Shake It Off Parody

    T Swift 2.0 is back!!

    The masterminds at Barely Political/Key of Awesome brought me in to take on the impossible: parody a video that’s already a parody. Yep, we took on Taylor Swift’s massive hit Shake It Off, and the results are above.

    I flew into NYC and we hit the ground running. The other Taylor Swift video I did for Barely Political is actually my favorite parody, probably due to the whole acting-like-a-complete-lunatic-and-it-being-socially-acceptable thing, so I was really excited to take another crack at our version of the T Swift character.

    Memorable moments from the shoot included being the last one to the boat on the hot dog legs things (had noooo idea, but now that I know, wow!), I cannot smack someone on the face- even if it’s a fake slap (ahhh!), and peeking at people’s camel toes is really tough on the knees and elbows.

    So sit back, relax, and enjoy the video! If you want to see more of my parodies- click here, here, and here.

     

  • Kesha/Pitbull “Timber” Parody

    My alter ego – Ke$ha 2.0 – is back!

    This time, the Barely Political crew and I take on the infectious Ke$ha – Pitbull song Timber. The parody was shot over two days in New York City. It was pretty surreal, because while I was filming in this itty, bitty bikini, there was a full-on blizzard going on outside! And that blizzard was none other than the Polar Vortex Part Deux!

    For those who are curious about the wardrobe choice – specifically the sheet hanging over my bottom- we were just being true to the original. Our theory is that the outfit was a little too revealing (you think!) and the real Ke$ha asked to have something added to cover up. This is just a theory and in no way authenticated by anyone close to the production. 😉

    Enjoy the video!

    How Two Travelers on Vagabondish

    Fotor1205145712

     

    This year I went for my passion: travel.

    I partnered up with seasoned travel expert Rachel Rudwall and re-branded my YouTube channel from my namesake to How Two Travelers (H2T). It’s been really fun working with a fellow female traveler who is as passionate as I am about seeing new places- and most importantly, making it fun for everyone!

     

    So here’s what you can expect to see on H2T:

    A Travel Tip is uploaded on the first Monday of the month.

    A Food and Drink is on the second Monday of the month.

    A Bucket List Adventure is shown on the third Monday of the month.

    And a Go or No Travel Review is uploaded on the fourth Monday of the month. It’s basically a movie review, but for travel destinations. I especially like these videos!

     

    We launched in October, and thankfully have had a great response. Fodor’s and the New York Observer are following us on twitter, and Vagabondish, one of the most popular travel websites, is now featuring our travel tip videos!

    Check out the featured tips below:

  • I’m in a Music Video

     

    Usually I am starring in parody music videos, but this time around I am in an actual music video. Sure, it was difficult trying to be serious for a change, but don’t worry, I got this whole “sleeping beauty” thing down.

    Special thanks to Baby E for a great day on set. I had the honor of listening to both versions of “Sugar Don’t Let Me Down”– one with auto-tune and one without- and they both rock. I look forward to more from him in the future!
