Chantal's Hollywood Adventures

Hey guys, So this weekend has been a very interesting and eventful one for me. On Friday night I went to the Pacific Theatre at G rove with the guy I was dating and two of his friends. I think we all forgot how much traffic there was going to be because of the Oscars but luckily I got there early enough unlike the guy I was going with and his friend who ended up walking into the movie theatre nearly forty five minutes late. The good thing was his other friend was already sitting in the movie theatre and had saved us seats so I went and sat with him while we waited for others. I felt a little bit like we were on an awkward tinder date or something since all I had was a photo of him which I was sent so that I could find him in the dark auditorium. After walking up and down the movie theatre steps looking for the seats I finally found him right in the middle. I was a little worried that the other two were not going to turn up or get into the movie and I was going to end up on what felt

Hey guys, This weekend has been pretty crazy for me now but I've loved every minute of it. On Thursday night I went to the see the company production at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts of Othello and I have to admit I loved it. I usually love Shakespeare but having studied him for so long time in England I've become a little detached to it now whilst in LA. I often find it difficult to understand the language even though I have studied it for a while and when I don't understand things I automatically switch off and become disengaged, however, this was not the case with Othello . The actors made it so clear through their physicality and body language that I felt engrossed all the way through the two and a half hour show. Then on Friday I headed to Melrose with my friend from England to go to Leonardo DiCaprio's club Villa Lounge. It took a while to get in as it was busy but finally when we did get passed the ridiculously long line it was an amazing night. The

Hello beautiful people, On Saturday night I decided to have a pre valentines date with my other single friend and went to see the romantic comedy  How To Be Single at the Pacific Theatre at the Grove in Los Angeles. The movie has an impressive cast list with actress Dakota Johnson   as the lead role Alice and Rebel Wilson playing the other lead role of Robin. The list of actors continues with appearance's from Leslie Mann, Damon Wayans Jr and Anders Holm . The movie  is directed by Christian Ditter and written by Liz Tuccillo , who also wrote the story He's Just Not That Into You. The story takes place in New York City and follows the life of Alice who is recently single and wants to find some adventure in her life as she hasn't been single for a long time. She is befriended by fun loving single girl Robin who shows her the ropes to being single successfully. This includes partying, casually sleeping with as many men as possible and having A LOT of carefree fun

Hey everyone,  On Wednesday evening I went out for the evening with a friend in Hollywood. We went to the W Hotel for dinner before heading to the Pantages Theatre to watch Dirty Dancing . Walking into the theatre I was amazed by the décor of the place, it was absolutely beautiful. It was decorated with sky high ceilings with grand chandeliers hanging in every corner of the hall.  As I walked through the stalls in the auditorium to get my seat I noticed large gold statues by either side of the wall and many red plush seats. It was just my luck that I had been sat behind probably the tallest person in the whole theatre, but luckily the seats were quite close so I was able to manuover my head around him.  I had originally seen the west end version of D irty Dancing a few years back at the Piccadilly Theatre in London and was extremely disappointed so I was hoping that the Hollywood version would be much better.  The first thing that I will discus in my review is the set structu

Hey guys, I hope that you all had a good weekend and enjoying the rest of your week. So, on Monday night I went to the premiere and after party for the new movie  The Choice directed by Ross Katz. The red carpet event took place at the Arclight Cinema on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood.  It was a bit of a last minute invite so after rushing around like a headless chicken trying to get ready, I ended up ripping my dress. I was already running slightly behind, so this just added to my crazy rush. The red carpet was at six thirty just before the movie was due to start at seven thirty and I did not want to be late. After finally giving up on the broken zip and changing my dress completely, it was ten minutes past six and now I began to really panic that I was going to be late. After my uber cancelling on me twice I was finally on my way, the only issue was that I hadn't really given any thought to the fact that there would probably be traffic at this time in rush hour and a journey
