Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

Some shots from Friday’s Red Eye

Here I am in the green room before Red Eye

Here I am saying something really intelligent.

Here I am about to lay into someone about something.

Here I am making some kind of gesture. (Seriously. I didn’t even know this was in my repertoire!)

Here I am doing a cartwheel.

Here I am showing off my homemade preserves.

Here I am in the car on the way home.

Live show Christmas card (thanks Ted)

During last night’s live show, which was super duper awesome, my mom and dad and Tobey and I were on screen and my dad (I think it was my dad?) made a comment about how we looked like a Christmas card and so I suggested we all pose. Guess Tobey had better things to do? He’s a diva, that one. Anyway, Ted made this card which is pretty great. Thought you might enjoy it.

Photos: CA, NYC, Hannity

There are loads of photos that have been sitting on my phone or computer that I’ve been meaning to put on this blog and I think the time is now.

Here’s my mom and Tobey from when I was in California for Thanksgiving. Isn’t he cute? There is only one answer.

Here’s the beach. Isn’t it beachy? There is only one answer. Read the rest of this entry »

Yes, fine, I won ANOTHER award.

Cookie party prize winners (L to R: Natali, honorable mention for her snickerdoodles; Jill, best looking for her ice cream cookie sandwiches; Seven, most creative for her cookie hamburgers; Ann, best tasting for her peanut butter cookies; me, tackiest for my sugar cookie disasters)

Over the weekend I won another award. I swear to God you guys, the accolades are coming fast and furious which is just the risk you take when you’re extraordinarily gifted, I suppose. Read the rest of this entry »

My life with the paparazzi

Like most of you, I enjoy going out with my friends and making a night of it on occasion, but it’s becoming increasingly hard with the paparazzi always up in my business. For example, on Thursday night at Obliterati, which is a party for new media or some such, I could barely make a move without someone trying to get a shot.

Here I am just trying to have a conversation. A P-R-I-V-A-T-E conversation. I guess that means nothing to them!

And then here I am apparently talking about something I’m holding in my hand as indicated by the mirror which obviously they’d placed there to better keep an eye on me. God, their shifty resourcefulness knows no bounds!

And then here I am checking myself out in the mirror while Dustin (little arrow) says something. Not exactly a Hollywood moment but anything to feed the public’s insatiable thirst for celebrity, I suppose. It really turns my stomach that we, as a culture, have allowed this to happen.

And then here I am just looking amazing.

Meet my mums

I mentioned on twitter earlier that I bought a new plant that we’d need to find a name for on Wednesday’s live show (RSVP HERE). Well I thought you might want to see the plant. They’re mums, which is a dumb name for flowers but a good nickname for a mummy as in “Hey mums, how’s it hanging?” “Why so stiff, mums?” You know, that kinda stuff.

Anyway, all this thought of mums was lighting up a spot in my brain and then I remembered that I’d once shared a flight with a woman I’d referred to in a blog post as MUM. But then I looked back and actually it was MIM and we were playing online trivia and I kept yelling in my head, “Suck it, MIM!” Anyway, you’ll just have to read.

Oh and unrelated, I have some photos from Hannity that I’ve yet to post as well as some other photos. I’m totally sitting on photos right now. It’s uncomfortable.

UPDATE: Turns out mums are chrysanthephajksgfmums! I didn’t realize! But now I do!

Photos!

Here I am shooting a top secret project near the Flatiron building.

Here’s Tobey being cute.

Here’s Tobey still being cute.

Here’s Tobey blinking.

Here’s my new plant being cute.

More photos? Okay!

Know what time it is? It’s 7:42pm in California. Know what else? Time for another bunch of photos! Hooray!

Here is the Goldenrod Footbridge in Corona del Mar. I’m pretty sure I’ve blogged about it before. It’s my favorite footbridge and it doesn’t even smell like feet.

Here’s the beach.

More beach.

Stupid beautiful water and bullshit boats.

Another picture of the beach if you’re into that kind of thing.

Oh wait, this is a bundt cake that I baked for Yami’s housewarming party last night. Here are some photos of the time I made it (sans nuts) for my sister’s party.

And then here’s Yami and me at her party.

And here’s a description of Schindler’s List which I thought was funny.
