Give me Break.....Please

Hello Everyone,

I just want to thank all of you for the positive feedback on my new pictures. I have to apologize for taking my sweet time in getting them online, but better late than never.

Lets see what should we talk about today. OK, I have a good one. I am going to have to go on a rant and since this is my diary I have a right to do so. I just came back from Nashville/Memphis today and I have to say what a great trip. I wasn't able to see Graceland, but that will give me incentive to go back there again. But with a little happiness sorrow has to come and here is my sorrow. Now I know it is trivial and in the whole context of things I understand where they are coming from, but give me a break. As I was coming back home to Miami today, my flight was leaving out of Nashville at 6am. I decided to stay up all night so that I wouldn't miss my flight. Now I have to admit that this might have contributed to my dilemma. For those of you who know me I travel a lot and I know what the rules are for what you can bring on the plane and what you can't. The FAA has recently seen fit to grant us the priviledge of bringing lotion and water and some various liquids on the plane as long as they are 3ozs. I have a little travel size bottle of hand lotion and a travel size of hand sanatazier both under 3oz. As I was going through the line my bag was selected for "additional screening" ok no problem you do what you have to do. This lady who I don't know what her problem was this morning but decided to "try" to make my life difficult. She took my bag and emptied out all of the contents on the counter I still remained clam. Then she proceeded to go through my wallet and I am not exaggerating here she took out my credit cards one by one. I asked her what she was doing and she told me this was part of her job. Ok, lets be for real here you know what was coming out of mouth next. I told her I didn't think so,there is was no need for her to go through my wallet like that. So after we exchanged pleasantries she then came to my make-up bag. Where I have a compact, three lip glosses, eye shadow, lotion, hand sanitizer, and a blush brush. This lady decides to take my lotion, hand sanitizer, and my two Chanel lip glosses. I asked her what she was doing once again and she told me that I am not allowed to have these things on the plane. I told her that I could have them on with me because they are under 3ozs. She then told me that they need to be in a zip lock bag. Once again give me a break as if to say that a zip lock baggy is going to deter any type of bomb; unless that baggy is made out of kryptonite I don't see what the difference is. Now you know I had to say something to this lady who for whatever reason had a problem with me. I told her that I didn't really care if she threw away my lotion and hand gel but you are not going to throw away my lip gloss. I told her that from her extensive and thorough search of my bag she can clearly see that I have no bomb or any type of explosive device on me and that my lip gloss was practically finished and if she proceeded to go down this path well we were all going to be on the news today because nobody was going to be getting out of this airport. She then asked me if I was making a threat; I told her that I haven't made a threat yet but I if she needed clarification I would be more than happy to oblige her. She looked at me and I looked at her and she handed me my lip gloss back and told me to have a nice flight.

You know I wouldn't have gotten rude like that but she had it coming to her. What I really felt like saying was: "here is $80.00 you can go home for the day." but then I really would have been on the news. Look I am all for security and safety especially since I fly out every week, but I think you have to take a rationale approach to such matters if you are going to ban things then ban them. What difference does it make if you buy water inside the gate or at the local Walgreen's? It is still water? A zip lock bag; has that what it has come down to? Our safety rest in zip lock bags.....Give me a break!

Can You Find Love In This Business???

I had my weekly girls night out with some other women in this profession last night. And to my surprise one of the women announced that she was retiring from the business. I was so happy for her and when I asked her what she would be doing she told us that she was not going to be doing anything. She is going to be living with one of her clients and he has promised to take care of her. Now to my surprise I didn't say a thing. And before the hate mail starts coming my way let me explain.

I was surprised at myself for not saying anything to my friend, because if I were to be honest I was jealous. I have always said that this wasn't a "career" but a means to an end. Well, someone has found that means to an end and who am I to pooh-pooh all over it. Who am I to question her motives, I mean maybe she is really in love with this person who from an outsider looking in has treated her magnificently. He has taken her all over the world, helped her with her education, been a shoulder to cry on, he has been everything that a woman wants in a man.

I have always been under the impression that you shouldn't fall for your clients (I have to come up with another word) because it just leads to more problems. I have met some absolutely wonderful people in my line of work, and I swear that if we had met under different circumstances I would be theirs' in a New York minute. But something has always held me back from taking that next step. One could make the assumption that it is fear....fear of what I don't know. Maybe I am so used to doing things on my own terms that I don't feel the need to compromise. But that isn't true either. I would love to find someone that I would WANT to compromise for. There is this big misconception about me: that I am against love and I hate men. That simply isn't true. I love men and I love..love. I get lonely so many times especially when I come home from a trip and I walk into an empty home. So you know what I say kudos to my friend I wish her nothing but the most happiness that life has to offer. She has found something that many of us have only dreamed of. She has found something that has turned into a $200 billion industry because we are all looking for it in one form or another.

A Good Reason For Lying On The Couch

This past weekend was an interesting one to say the least. With ALL of my college football teams loosing this weekend: (Norte Dame, North Carolina, Miami, Florida State). I decided to watch some classic movies on television. Ofcourse, my favorite channel for watching an old black and white is TCM (Turner Classic Movies). The movie that I happened to watch on Saturday was Tennessee William's, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.

Here is my review of one of my favorite Paul Newman movies. This is the classic cinematic version of Tennessee Williams's breathtaking play about a crazed southern family torn apart by greed. Larger-than-life patriarch Big Daddy (Burl Ives) lays dying, and the members of his brood clamor for the inheritance. Paul Newman is Brick, the alcoholic son struggling in the shadow of his powerful father, and Elizabeth Taylor is Maggie, Brick's lingerie-clad temptress of a wife who will do anything for the love of her cold husband. Brick's younger brother, Gooper (Jack Carson), and his wife, Mae (Madeleine Sherwood), strive for Big Daddy's approval, but even though they have children and a successful marriage, Big Daddy is dedicated to Brick, a former football star with his own personal demons. Tensions mount as the family is forced together under one roof, where secrets are revealed and relationships are lost and found. Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman's performances serve as cinematic icons; the heat and hatred between them ignites the screen, fueled by Tennessee Williams's insightful and brilliant dialogue.


The 1958 film adaptation of Williams' drama earned, Newman, his first Oscar nomination; one of seven for the film. Some of the more controversial elements of Williams' melodrama were downplayed in the film version so as not to ruffle the censors of the era. But it still remains a steamy, haunting piece of filmmaking. If you have never seen this movie I suggest you go out and rent it you will not be disappointed in the performances.

Until Next Time

Leave This To The Professionals

Hello All,

How is everyone doing? Good I hope. I have had one very busy week. It seems that everyone I know has a birthday in September. Needless to say, my dance card is full this month. But I do have a very funny story to share with all. My best friend in the entire world (Marisol) celebrated her "28th" birthday......Again, on the 4th of Sept. This year she decided that she was going to come down my way and we were going out to celebrate her fabulousness (I don't think that is a word, but who cares it is my story). Now I have been a very good person all year long. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary in such a long time that I needed to blow off some steam. So, I decided that we were going to be celebrities on our outing. Well, I was going to be the celebrity and she was coming along for the ride.

I had tired this once before and it went well; until Will Smith came by our table and informed me that I wasn't who I said I was. So, we had to leave the club very very quickly. This time around I wasn't going to make any mistakes. I called up my friend who owns a limousine company and asked if he could loans us a car. I then pretended to be the assistant of the celebrity I am pretending to be; to get VIP treatment to into the hottest club on South Beach. I then called up a couple more of my gal pals and said lets go out tonight. You know celebrities always have an entourage with them. Next I proceeded to go to get my make-up done professionally....I have to look the part right.

Ok, so now it is night time and I am ready to put my plan into action. I have on the right dress and shoes, my hair is done and if I must say so myself I am bringing sexy back. Even my girls are looking fantastic we brought along a couple of guys with us to play the role of bodyguards. Now I am not going to tell you which celebrity I was impersonating; you are going to have to guess and write in. I will say this we had the ultimate VIP treatment. They rolled out the red carpet for us, gave us free champagne all night long, they gave us this exclusive VIP booth where you could look down and see the entire club. At one point in the night the DJ even mentioned that we were in the club. How precious is that??? People were trying to take our pictures with their cell phone cameras. It was just crazy!!!!! I haven't had fun like this since my days at FSU.

Let me sum it for you like this:
One Marc Jacobs sexy black dress $825
One pair of sexy black Jimmy Choo shoes $1375
Helping celebrate your best friend turn "28" again........Priceless.


Here is a hint she once did a movie with Will Smith shot here in Miami.

Good luck guessing,
Cameron
