Six Shops and $8000 Later...

I decided to do some Christmas shopping today, so I got up a little early and headed to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. It was supposed to be a nice relaxing day of shopping but it turned out to be a disaster.

I actually should have known better because it seems like about every other time I go shopping lately I come away pissed off more than anything. And considering Christmas is only a week away I suppose it wouldn't have been hard to guess this wasn't going to be the greatest time to shop at like the most famous shopping district in the world. But Rodeo Drive is usually good to me, so I went anyway.

And I'm blonde so I don't think that far ahead! ;-)

It all started when I got there and could not find a place to park to save my life. Ok so that's not so unusual in LA but I rarely have any problems finding a spot around Rodeo Drive and my usual "secret" spot was taken. Eventually I found one.

Then I went to one of my favorite shops in the world, Tiffany & Co. to look at some jewelry and see if there was anything I could buy for a gift. Well the lady that was supposed to be helping me was a total bitch and I could not stand her. So I ended up leaving there pissed off without buying anything.

After the Tiffany disaster I visited a few more of my favorite shops - Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

My shopping experience at each of them was much better than it was a Tiffany & Co. but still not even close to being relaxing or nearly as fun as I had planned. All the shops were much busier than they usually are and it was hard to get any help, there were lines, and it was just too congested. Not my ideal shopping environment.

Plus, there were like a million tourists everywhere being annoying and getting in the way. I don't normally mind tourists but today I was just in a bad mood after all that had happened so they were getting on my nerves.

Anyway, when it was all said and done I ended up spending just a little over $8000 and still only bought two Christmas presents. One was a Dior handbag for my mom and the other was some D&G beachwear and sunglasses for one of my guy friends.

Everything else I bought was for me, which was definitely not in my plan when I started the day. Oh well. ;-)

All in all it was 6 hours of shopping and mostly a disaster. I go to Rodeo Drive at least once per month and this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. I'm over it now. But I had to vent and I figured my new blog was the perfect place to do that.

Well, I am off to take a nap. Some friends and I are going to eat and have some drinks at The Geisha House tonight.

Have a great night!

Love,

Welcome To Blogging Model's Blog!

Hey everyone! Welcome to my new blog, "Blogging Beauty - The Miscellaneous Ramblings of A Blonde Bombshell."

As you may have already figured out... I am a model and I like to blog. This is actually my second blog. I had another one that I used to update a lot but then I got really busy with my career and social life, and let it go. Now, I decided to start a new one instead of updating that one again after such a long absence.

Here's a little more about me...

My name is Janessa. I'm 21 years old, 5'9" tall, and I am not telling you my weight ;-). I usually have blond hair, sometimes I change the color but not often.

I was born in Newport Beach, California. Yes, I am from Orange County - Don't be jealous!

My parents split up when I was young. My mom moved a few miles away to Laguna Beach and my dad stayed in Newport. I technically lived with my mom in Laguna Beach, but I spent a lot of time in both places growing up. As I got a little older I spent more time at my dads because I love the beach and he has a house right on it.

Now I have an apartment in West Hollywood and also spend a LOT of time in Las Vegas. I also go to my dad's Newport Beach house quite a bit when I want to just relax on the beach.

I'm definitely a socialite so you can almost always find me out at one of the Hollywood "hot spots" or partying it up in Vegas.

Three of my favorite things to do on a daily basis are - Chillaxin on the beach, Shopping, Partying.

I am a model and actress. But mainly just a model. I have modeled for quite a while now but my career has really taken off in the past couple years. I won't go into detail on all the modeling I have done lately but I will say there is a strong chance you have seen my pretty face in an ad somewhere recently, whether you realized it or not.

I'm fairly well-known around Hollywood because of my modeling and the fact that I am always out at the hot clubs. Plus, I have quite a few celebrity friends as well as some other high profile friends.

Basically you can say that I... Party like a rock star, look like a movie star, play like an all-star, f*ck like a porn star, baby I'm a superstar! ;-)

I love to travel and do it as often as possible. My modeling has taken me a lot of great places this year. I have been to Rome, Paris, Belize, Cancun, Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Aruba, Miami, Sidney, New York, and of course Vegas and LA - all in the past year. And many other amazing places throughout my life.

I've been all over the United States and traveled the world, and I can honestly say there are few places better than Orange County, California! I was truly blessed to be born and raised in the OC, one of the places most people wish they would have been.

Well, I think that's enough about me for now. Come back often to see more ramblings from this blogging beauty.

Oh and remember if you are at any hot spot in LA or Vegas keep an eye out for me. Come up and say hi if you see me. I'm not unapproachable! Mention that you are a reader of my blog and we will definitely be friends.

Muah!

Love,
Janessa
