[31 May 2008|07:38pm] lenae So after realizing I have no lines and a lot of time, I figured I'd FINALLY come around to doing a storyling post. Anyways, meet Lenae Reynolds, the sister of creynolds. She's been through a lot, I mean a LOT of hardships growing up but she's passed through them. Most memorably, during college she did photographs and videos for an internet pornopgraphy website and she still gets recognized for it (greatly unbeknownst to her sister). She's also recently broken up with cayhill and is still kind of recovering, even though it was pretty eminent that it was going to happen. Lenae works at a nanny for the rich and fabulous, so pretty much most of her time is used up taking care of snot-nosed (but beautiful) brats that she loves to absolute death. Given, she'd much rather be a poet, but she's almost completely given up on hope of getting published. A lot of people think that she's really mean, because she doesn't speak much and tends to give off dirty looks a lot, but there are moments in the night and in her misery when you can tell that deep down, she is a warm-hearted girl. I'm trying to keep this short (so nothing falls into the tl;dr category) , so here goes nothing. I'd really love a female best friend who sees through all her pseudo-coldness, a male love interest (that won't necessarily work out), her employer, and so on. I'm a firm believer that anything can be worked out so even if you can't fill those (very few, I know) lines, I'd love to hear what you think would work. post comment

[29 May 2008|11:05am] mbrookes I decided to do this after I got accepted and since I've been accepted I'm going to do it. This is Michael Brookes, most people call him Mikey, a harmless nickname for a very harmless young man. He's 24 and played by the talented Matthew Gray Gubler so he not only has brains on his side he was world-class model looks as well. He is a geek, through and through, he got his first degree in Maths when he was thirteen and completed his psychology and human behaviour degree by the time he graduated high school. He isn't shy, he isn't obsessed with sci-fi, he is chatty and a bit awkward (you would be too if you were all arms and legs and not much else) and he really could do with some friends. So if you can offer him anything that would be great, enemies, friends, patients, anything else. 2 comments|post comment

[27 May 2008|09:59pm] wilsom So I realized I'm totally late in getting this up but...I'm always late so oh well! I have here, Mackenzie Wilson, originally of Boston, Mass. She grew up an only child, and as a result was slightly coddled, and very much spoiled, not necessarily with things, but with attention and all of that. She is incredibly stubborn and opinionated, so she doesn't mind speaking her mind. She attended Harvard as a history major, and now she works at a high school in Beverly Hills as a US History teacher. She's become kind of cynical in the most recent years, after a particularly nasty break-up, and she isn't at all interested in dating (even casually) - so she basically work work works, which is facilitated by her coffee addiction. Lorelai Gilmore has nothing on her. As far as what I'd love for her - I'd love close friends (a couple), a roommate, perhaps some enemies/frienemies, her ex, and I'd love for a guy to kind of prove her wrong about the opposite sex, but it'd be a long and fun road. 2 comments|post comment

[27 May 2008|10:43pm] aalden Hi, everybody! Meet Amy. She is a middle school history teacher by day, and at night, she writes sci-fi books about a girl traveling through time and attempting to escape from space pirates. Yeah. She is kind of a big deal in the publishing world--her series isn't up to Harry Potter standards, but it's at least been optioned for a movie, so that's pretty big. She's a native of Las Vegas, but she's been living in LA since she moved from Irvine after graduating from college. She's sweet--kind of high-strung and prone to rambling, but sweet! Lines-wise, whatever you can think of works, though if she had some fellow teachers/writers to go out with for brunch or whatever, that would be great. And maybe, maybe her sister too (since I kind of vaguely mentioned her in her biography). So, by all means, give me suggestions and such! 2 comments|post comment

[27 May 2008|12:43pm] matwick I wasn't going to do one of these, but I'll give it a shot. This is Jassen, LA's bigtime t-shirt guy. Yes, I did say he's a bigtime t-shirt guy and now I shall explain. Making a long story short, he and his friends drunkenly decided they were going to take over the world by starting a t-shirt kiosk and somehow they ended up becoming a big deal and Jay was pretty much their figurehead. The t-shirt kiosk is still open and they have an official clothing company, FAS Apparel (Fucking Awesome Shirts), but Jassen has moved into being a club promoter around the city and is doing fairly well at it these days. He's well aware that his situation is a complete fluke and that he really has no skills at all in anything other than being charming when he wants to, but he's happily riding the wave. He lives with his girlfriend Zoë pome as well as his best friend in a shared house on Laurel Canyon, still works the clubs and sells the t-shirts and that's really about it. He's 27 and he's lived in LA since he was 21 and he moved to the city from a small town in Georgia with the intention of being the rockstar to end all rockstars, more than a little bit ambitious but without a lick of talent. I'm really looking for any and everything, there's a lot of room for strange friendships and whatnot, so hit me with your best shot or if you're interested in plotting we can work that out too. 8 comments|post comment

allies red wine [26 May 2008|01:14am] alliek So I'm late and didn't make it in time for adds today, but I do finally have her applied, and I'd love some lines. She's going to UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, so if she'd know anybody from there, friends/enemies/whatever, that would be great. Her bio and quick facts and everything is up in her journal, but basically she's a rich kid who moved to LA for school. She's materialistic and spoiled without realizing it and she lives in an apartment her dad pays for. She just turned 21 (like 2 weeks ago) and gained access to her trust fund, so she's probably going to go a little crazy with it. Anyway, ideas are rad, so just leave a comment or something if you think of anything. I do know she's going to need a roommate. I'm working out the details of the apartment at the moment, but it's going to have two bedrooms and two baths, so if anybody wants it just let me know. post comment

aim: have at jules [25 May 2008|10:37am] detwiller scratch that. i applied. Julian grew up in Germany, started modeling at the age of 17, moved to America at 19, signed with a major agency and stayed on the elite list up until his very public, very messy break up with fraiser two years ago, then dropped out of the camera's eye and got behind it. He's now a very in demand photographer for fashion, but is freelance so he's not strictly fashion. He's a bit of an alcoholic, somewhat reserved, doesn't get out much, but when he does go out, he's kind of wild. He's very good friends with kov, they met through modeling and have stayed friends - he tends to do a lot of work with Kov. I need some ex-flings, people in the business that he's pissed off or befriend, fellow photographers if there's any out there? Anything you're willing to toss at me, I'm open. 2 comments|post comment

[24 May 2008|12:43pm] kov so since i lamely missed first adds, i thought that i would do one of these until the next adds rolled around and i finished his questions. rain screws with my power and computer, making me not able to finish them and when i do deletes from power surges. hah the good stuff. onto the important matter. this is dimitri annenkov and he is the youngest of three children (or at least i still think it's three). he comes from moscow along with his two sisters, annenkov and astasia, but that wasn't until he turned 18 and his parents were lenient with what he could and couldn't do by then. he's very family-oriented and would do just about anything for them. your resident nice guy who is just trying to make it in this world like anyone else. before moving to america, dimitri was an international model, even did a few commercials but mostly photoshoots and some runway work. he came to america and wanted a change of pace, so he went to the ucla and majored in art and marketing/business. he now does the behind the scenes work for commercials and ads, trying to get the next big thing out there. excuse me if i left anything out, his bio will be unlocked for you all to read it momentarily. there's always something to work out and i wouldn't mind brainstorming it between the characters. throw me something or checking to see if we still have a line then i'm all for it. i love this kind of stuff! it's about time i did one of these anyways. 22 comments|post comment

[24 May 2008|03:25am] madalynn Okay, two things first. One, is anyone in need of a sibling? I'm all for coming up with my own ideas for family background, but it seems like people are always on the search for siblings for their kids, so I figured I'd ask. My only thing with that is that I'd like for the parents to still be together and living in Laurel Canyon. Second, is anyone willing to play the father of this girl's daughter? I have some general ideas about that swimming around in my head, but I'd rather find someone who is willing to take on the role and figure out details about the storyline with them instead of just coming up with some set idea and not really give the other person any say in the matter. Now, for the details on this girl. Her name is Madalynn, she's 25 years old and has a four month old daughter named Hayleigh. Madalynn was a child star who's acting career basically went from a booming career to almost non-existent when she hit her teenage years. From the mid-80s until the early 90s she was in about a dozen movies and pretty much a household name. Then she hit that awkward teenage age where she was going through puberty and it became nearly impossible for her to find parts. During this point in her life, things really spiraled out of control for her and she started doing a lot of drugs and binge drinking and things like. She landed herself in the hospital a couple of times because of her destructive behavior and went through rehabs more than she cares to admit. When she was around 22 or 23, she finally realized that she needed to get her life together and the best thing she felt like she could do at the time was move back to Laurel Canyon (she'd been living in the heart of LA) and try to stay away from the people who'd spent most of her teenage years with. Since moving back to Laurel Canyon, she's pretty much grown out of all of that and is much more responsible and mature, but her past still tends to haunt her. In fact, when she got pregnant with her daughter, tabloids made a big deal out of claiming that she was doing drugs and what not while she was pregnant (she wasn't) and things like that. At the moment she's living at home with her parents, who help her out a lot with her daughter, and just recently decided to get her GED (she never graduated from high school) and is now looking into going to culinary arts school in the fall. As far as her personality goes, she used to be pretty high strung, but ever since she kicked the drugs and alcohol she's become much more laid back. She can be a little sassy at times and pretty sarcastic most of the time, but aside from that she's a very sweet girl. After personally experiencing how much it can hurt you to constantly have people saying mean things about you, she's the type of girl who tries to find the good in everyone. And her daughter is basically the light of her life. Okay, this got way longer than I wanted it to be, so hopefully people actually read this. I'm open to pretty much anything and everything as far as storylines go, so just throw whatever ideas you might have at me. And even if you don't have any ideas off the top of your head, comment and we can brainstorm together and come up with something fantastic. 14 comments|post comment

[23 May 2008|07:13pm] maeby Hello! This is Maeby. She has no last name as of yet, so if anyone is in need of sibling lines, I'm up for it. She's 24 and is a personal assistant. If there are any older PB's (late 30's - early 50's) who would be in need of one, that'd be awesome! I I tried to apply at both ~towny and ~saintcloud but they both died before I could - so if it's cool, I'd love to gack the secret I wanted at those games and for her to have a completely inappropriate sexual attraction to said boss. If not , I can pimp in PBads. Also, she'll definitely need roommates if anyone needs those! 7 comments|post comment

[23 May 2008|11:25am] alician So, I suck entirely and missed first adds but I still plan on applying with this girl. I'm actually working on her stuff now so I thought I'd see if any idea get thrown at me. This is Alicia Nicholson, Ali for short. She is the daughter of a big time entertainment lawyer, now retired. Her family is much, much like the Brangelina brood in that everyone is adopted. Ali was born in India but that's literally all she knows of her home. Her father was Irish, but that is again pretty unknown. Her birth mother gave her up right at birth so she's never met her nor known her. She was brought over to the US and adopted by the Nicholson family. There are two older boys, and one older girl. I left their nationalities open in case someone ever feels like filling the sibling lines. Let's see, what else? She is 27, turning 28 at the end of July. Ali designs jewelry and sells it in the boutiques in West Hollywood. It's mostly known as costume jewelry due to the pretty elaborate designs and chunky pieces. Ali also has a knack for sewing and occasionally designs costumes for her friends for Halloween. She's best at duplicating costumes from movies and time periods. She can get really feisty sometimes, especially with sarcasm, so it's a running joke with her siblings that her genetics must be at war. It's because of this that Ali has a strong will to find out just where she "comes from", hence her father's heritage. Even with this, Ali is a prideful American girl. Her brothers did well by teaching her sports, at least to where she knows the difference between a touchdown and a field goal. She's hopelessly in love with the Harry Potter movies, and has no shame in the fact that she owns a Hogwarts robe that she designed. Things that would be nice to have for Ali: Again, her siblings. Two older brothers, one older sister. The fun is that they totally don't need to look alike. It's almost like the more different, the better. Also, some friends from growing up. Ali's never moved and has lived in the same area for 28 years now, but has moved out form her parents' house into her own apartment. She's just hopelessly in love with the area. Also, clients, friends who constantly beg for costumes, even actors that know of/knew her father, a roommate perhaps... Anything, everything. Totally open and also willing to just see what develops! No pressure! 2 comments|post comment

omg my turn. [22 May 2008|09:28pm] tyndal So all you fabulous people of the soon to be ~lovest, hello! I bring you Madison Tyndal, producer extraordinare. Her face (as some of you might not know it) has been stolen from the beautiful Tricia Helfer. A bit about Madison; She's from Georgia, born and raised so yes, she's got a bit of that Southern lilt to her voice. She's the oldest of three girls (if anyone wants to bring in one of her younger sisters, I might just love you forever.) She took off from home after college (and after a particularly nasty break-up with her then boyfriend) and traveled around Europe for a full year. When she came back to the states, she moved out to San Francisco and worked for a film documentary company. She didn't love documentaries like she should have, so she moved out to LA, worked in a company she hated, and ultimately decided to start up her own company. Her full bio is here, if you so desire to read it! As far as what's going on with her now, she's busy working and helping out with her ex boyfriend's daughter, who she is fast becoming attached to and jumping into the "mommy" role. Her best guy friend is kent, who she ~*denies*~ having any feelings for, even if she does get rather jealous of the women who flock him. Her best girlfriend is esile, whom she has a 'lets pretend we read books but drink and watch the movie instead' book-club with norfolk. Her neighbor, and bane of her freaking existence is patrck. her AIM is project madison, so feel free to IM me/her for plotting and scenage purposes! I look forward to this so so much! 17 comments|post comment

[22 May 2008|07:52pm] kinsella Holla! Okay, I'm gonna try and post here and make it make sense before I go and polish up this app. Hi kids, this is Mara Kinsella, who is 31 but still feeling about 15. She works in the film industry, as a Production Coordinator (the capital letters are very necessary) for an obviously local company, which is probably well known. She's originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, which isn't that important for this post, but now you know. She has a twin brother who's currently in prison on arson charges - he, for some reason, finds this fact very amusing and periodically sends his sister cheerful postcards from prison updating her on his "fabulously evil life." They're in a bit of a one-sided competition to see who can be more evil. She has a son, Dylan, who is ten and the product of some debauchery with somerv. They spend a lot of their time together creating massive, elaborate domino mazes, because Mara likes that better than talking about Avatar: The Last Airbender. Mara is very sarcastic and seems more violent than she really is. She's fun. And that's all I can think to say right now...let's plot, I want everything! 11 comments|post comment

aim: maddox dreams [22 May 2008|09:31pm] measton Hey y'all. I just applied with this kid here. He's twenty-five, looking for a room mate who can handle his bouts of insomnia as well as an eclectic musical taste.  I don't like making up specific lines because I think it takes the fun out of collaboration, so if you want to work something out, comment here or catch me on aim. Thanks! 16 comments|post comment

[22 May 2008|10:14pm] riken Hey, guys! This is Riley Kensington. She's a 32 year old waitress at Medieval Times and an aspiring novelist. She wants to write a series of books about vampire robots. It's pretty awesome. I know I've chatted with a few people already, but this is my plea for storylines. She lives with fraiser and that's about the only solid line I have so far. I'll unlock her bio so everyone can skim it. Basically, I need everything. She just moved to the area about six months ago, so she probably wouldn't have any long term SLs yet, but she's from Georgia if that helps any! Don't be shy! I love to brainstorm! 4 comments|post comment

[22 May 2008|09:12pm] jory Today I finally came to terms with the fact I probably will not get Jory applied until second adds, and now that I am secure in this knowledge, I have decided to nuke an enchilada and make a storyline post. This is Jory St. John, aged forty, native of the little city formerly known as Waveland, Mississippi and citizen of the world (read as: has traveled to and through a smattering of Southern states, with pointed excursions to Juarez, Guadalajara, Tijuana, you get the idea). He goes where he's comfortable and he's typically comfortable wherever he goes, and after much halfhearted deliberation, he's decided he's comfortable enough in Laurel Canyon. He originally relocated to the Fairfax District of Los Angeles and is currently squandering the unlikely generosity of dupres, in whose guest house he was invited to stay as a returned favor while he paid off a debt (said debt has since been fully repaid, Jory has merely neglected to inform Cass). He spouts a little Buddha because it jives with him but he definitely isn't what you'd call a Buddhist (more of a practicing alcoholic), he casually swears by the genius of Thelonious Monk and he works intermittently as a session musician. Inarguably a gifted pianist, he has about zero ambition to work hard and do anything worthwhile with his music, he's very able to appreciate it on an independent level and lends his skills to a number of weekend blues/jazz/rock bands in and around L.A. for his own enjoyment. He obviously has amazing hair (think Oscar Bluth), he has been in love many many many many many many many many many many many many times in his life and will probably be in love many many many many many times more. Oh, and he might have had something to do with helping harbor a certain sax-playing fugitive in Laurel Canyon (batiste, you had better apply soon or I am going to kick your ass.) I am forgetting lots more, probably courtesy of Jory's own useless memory. Now that I have a little bit more of a grip on the guy, anyone I promised potential storylines to is more than welcome to chime in below. Jory's memory is not the best (seriously, guys, he is an alkie) and he has only been in L.A. for <3 (literally, less than three) years, so keep that in mind. I'm up for anything you can throw at him, and he's a fairly easygoing guy so chances are he is, too. 17 comments|post comment

[22 May 2008|08:34pm] jackedwards Hello all, I will keep this extremely short. This is Jack Edwards: ex-patriot to the mother country (jolly old England). drunk, multi-million dollar banking CEO and womanizer. He moved to Los Angeles to get away from most of his strife in New York, but has more or less probably caused more here. Lines of all types are greatly encouraged, think of him as your comic relief. 26 comments|post comment

[22 May 2008|02:52pm] maisy Hello! This is Maisy Albright, an ad exec who moved to LA in January from New York. She's a bit clumsy, from a big family, and she's written a lot of the commercials that ended up as viral videos in the past few years. Would anyone like to discuss lines? :) Does anyone need anything filled? 7 comments|post comment

[22 May 2008|05:23pm] somerv Praise the sweet, baby Jesus, I am done and it is glorious. I feel warm, I feel fuzzy, I feel ... accomplished. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME. This is James. James is forty years old (actually, his birthday is next week -- CELEBRATE, BITCHES!), happily married to asomervaille, but that doesn't stop him from being a kissing slut and the world is his chair. Or at least he's a kissing slut and the world is his chair when he's drunk, and he has to imbibe plenty to actually reach the drunk stage by now, so really, it's not surprising if he ends up kissing people that aren't his wife, and he'll just sit on anyone's lap when he feels like it. He's shameless, really. He's shameless when he's sober, too, but a little more controlled. Anyway, he has ridiculous and fun bromance with jredford, so if anyone else is Jim's bro, they'd have to be James's bro, too. Sorry, guys, that's the rules. James is an ac-tor, and has been for years. He's A-List, you know. Be impressed, guys! He's lived in L.A. since he was twenty-seven, made babies at age thirty, thirty-five, and thirty-eight respectively, and in the three year span of twenty-seven to thirty had various affairs with womenfolk until he felt bad about it and realized Angela was his one twu wuv. But he can have plenty of ex flings~ given that, and even from New York, too, 'cause everyone's from NY apparently? But the past is the awkward past, so it would be at best a platonic line, at funniest something awkward, and at worst, haterade. He also has a tendency to go through personal assistants, given his penchant to send them on four am ice cream runs or drunk dial them. Anyway, I need anything, everything, and then some. I am willing to plot, and still have deets I have to work through with people. Feel free to hit me with your crazy ideas, given how James is pretty crazy himself. Also feel free to check ze bio~ (and fire ze missiles!) for something just a little less rambly. 47 comments|post comment

[22 May 2008|11:07am] tgraves World, meet Teddy Graves. A young twenty-three year old who is very young for his age. He has the maturity level of your average high school boy, to be honest. He doesn't feel like he should be forced to act as if he is a grown up, if he doesn't chose to be a grown up. However, he does have several jobs which shows that he is mature enough to know that if he wants to continue to live the way he does he will need to actually work for it. He works for a major web design company during the week, at night he works as a bartender and on the weekends he does photography. He'll shoot for anything from weddings to funerals or anything in between. He does make a decent living off of his photography but still knows that is only going to get him so far in his life. His addictions include the majority of shows on Adult Swim (Stroker and Hoop, The Brak Show, Harvey Birdman, Space Ghost, Home Movies, Family Guy...etc.), He stays up every night till 6 AM to watch Rockos Modern Life, he has every episode of The Angry Beavers on tape, he once held up a entire line of traffic for fifteen minutes to let a family of ducks cross the street and once they crossed he waited five more to be sure that no more would try to cross. He has been best friends with his roomate creynolds since the two were little children and she asked him to marry her (in which he claims they are still married to this day.) He quotes Drawn Together more then he speaks...if that makes sense. That is Teddy Graves for you. So comeon, hook a boy up and give me some storylines, please? 42 comments|post comment
