Good Luck Joelle!


Please wish Joelle luck tomorrow (Friday) at the audition showcase. She will be auditioning for Disney, Nickelodeon and Jive Records. I reminded Joelle that many kids only dream of presenting themselves to these people. She actually gets to live the dream.

Wayne Brady




Joelle is a huge fan of "Don't Forget the Lyrics" so she was psyched to meet Wayne Brady today. He gave a great motivational speech to the kids. The picture to the left shows Joelle (with the ponytail) getting his autograph.

FINALLY!


It has been a long two weeks. A great experience for Joelle and one that she will never forget. However, it is time to come home. We are anticipating home cooked meals, our own beds and seeing everyone!

WE LOVE YOU SIMON!!


Christie informed us that their dog, Simon, has died. He was nine years old and died unexpectedly. We are very sad. We've known Simon for 7 years and he became our friend as well. We will miss you Simon. Here's to many filet mignon's in heaven.

The picture says it all.....


Joelle told me today that she "can't wait to go home". She clarified this by saying that she absolutely loves the camp but not Hollywood. I think we all miss the comforts of home and the QUIETNESS of it. We miss our family, friends, pets and neighbors. We look out our hotel window to a very, very large city. It is so much nicer to look out our windows at home and see trees, squirrels and the familiar faces of the Salemas. :) I guess it's just hard to be here "alone".
We officially turned into rednecks last night when we were forced to wash our clothes in the bathtub. Enough said.
Anyway, while we are savoring this experience, there really is no place like home.

Stage Combat Class......



Joelle took stage combat class today with Lorenzo. After watching the video, I'm sure you all agree that she is quite the tough cookie (ha ha). She is in for a pretty intense week as the preparation begins for the final showcase on Friday. More to come from Joelle tomorrow (she is pretty much asleep right now.......)

Malibu Marina......


This is VERY tan and blonder Marina. She truly looks like a California girl!

Marina met her very own celebrity today!!!


Maybe a beat up version of Spongebob but it really didn't matter as you can see by the look on her face!

Another day in LA!


Hello everyone!!
So I'm sorry I haven't been writing anything but I am so tired at night! So I asked my mom to write for me at night. But tonight I am staying up to watch a tv show so I have some extra time.
I talked to Lorenzo on Sunday and guess what???? He remembered me! His three daughters are also in the camp and they remembered me too from last summer.
We have a special guest coming to camp tomorrow. I don't know who it is yet but I will tell you when I write next time. I have to do a practice audition tomorrow. I have to say why orange juice is so good for you. I'm meeting a lot of nice people and having so much fun. It's hard sometimes but I know it will be worth it someday!
Isn't it cool that we saw Carson and Mandy? We also saw the first season winner from So You Think You Can Dance. It is so neat to see people that we see on tv in real life. But I guess I'm not the only person who gets excited. The stars homes tours are sold out everyday!!! A lot of people are curious just like me!

Camp Electric Youth Update.......


Joelle has completed her third day of camp. She really is enjoying herself. Her favorite class so far is dance. She is learning a routine to a High School Musical song. She is trying her best to sing her way through a cold. Thankfully, she is almost over it. We have decided together that she will sing "I'll Stand By You" next Friday in front of the talent scouts/agents. She will sing on stage with a microphone and actual music. Very exciting as I know she will do us all proud. She is also working on a one minute monologue to perform that same day. She is getting a ton of help, advice and constructive criticism from all the teachers involved. I will attend a seminar on Friday hosted by Debbie's mother. Marina is really looking forward to it....not. Thank God for Nintendo DS's. The seminar is all about the "business". Not sure how much this pertains to me but I guess you never know. Funny story and one that shows just how snobby some of these "stage moms" can be: Marina and I hop into a cab everyday at 12:45 to go pick Joelle up. The cab pulls up to the acting studio and waits while Marina and I go in to sign Joelle out. So today, our bright green cab pulls up to the studio. Marina and I step out and a woman looks at the cab and says "oh my" in this appalled manner. Guess our pretty ride didn't compare to her Mercedes. Puh-leaze.

First official celebrity sightings......



While we were by the pool today, we saw Carson Kressley (Queer Eye For the Straight Guy) and Mandy Moore (choreographer on one of our favorite shows: So You Think You Can Dance). Pretty cool because we certainly didn't expect to see them.

Found!!!

Mommy and I went to In-Out Burger today. It was really, really good. The french fries were super good. Are you jealous yet? (I'm talking to you Auntie Laurie).

We think we now own stock......


We have eaten here for the past four nights. Joelle and Marina LOVE this place and get the same thing everytime......Joelle - chicken with broccoli and edamame......Marina - cheese pizza and edamame. They always end their dinner with ice cream sundaes. Hey, I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Mina Bug....


Did I happen to mention that Mina is a pretty special kid too? After all, she is on this journey with us. She's all amped up tonight. Debbie Gibson smiled at her and rubbed her head! Now Marina says she doesn't want to wash her hair. EEWWW!
A big shout of from Marina to: all my family and TREVOR!!!!!

Debbie the Great!



I am totally impressed. This camp is going to be AWESOME for Joelle. There is so much more to this than I thought. So many professionals from so many different fields. Joelle will learn theater dance, will create a demo CD, learn to present herself in front of a camera (video and still), learn acting from one of the best...Howard Fine. We met Debbie's mother and Lorenzo Lamas was even there. There will be a security guard outside of the studio at all times and you have to present your ID in order to pick your child up. Very well thought out and structured. When we finally spoke to Debbie personally, I found her to be the most down to earth and genuine person. Tomorrow is the big day for Joelle. 8am call time (Mina doesn't like this part of it). I am so proud of my little big girl. When I looked around the room and realized where we were, I got a little choked up. We small town people are here in Hollywood all because of a girl with a big voice, big dreams and big personality.

Our first smoggy day so far...........


So, there it is.....the famous Hollywood sign. Isn't it beautiful in all its smog?
We woke up way too early this morning and headed out to Mel's diner for breakfast. Then we had some time by the pool which was hot but nice. Then, Laurie, I saw it......the In-n-Out Burger bag. How dare those people come to the pool with that bag of burgers? I decided right then and there we would go there for lunch. BUT............as we walked along, there were different "characters" (Batman, Transformers, Elvis) EVERYWHERE. Joelle was totally overwhelmed and didn't want to walk any more. Understanding, especially being so tired and hot. Nonetheless, we ended up eating at French Crepe (?). It was yummy and character-free. So, here we are back at our room at Joelle and Marina's request. They wanted to "rest". I guess their idea of rest is karate chopping each other, jumping on the beds and doing anything but rest. Oh well.....no rest for the weary. Orientation tonight at 5:30.....

Big WALL-E Statue!!!


This is the viewing distance WALL-E statue!!!!
This is where the premiere of WALL-E was (isn't that soooo cool!!! We have a really good view!!!
The theatre that WALL-E is on is El Capital it is really pretty!!!
Well I gotta go!
We are going to Mel's Diner (very famous!)
SEE YAH!!!!
-joelle

We're here.....and SOOOO tired!


Well, we made it! Pretty smooth sailing (um, flying) all the way. It is just about 3 in the morning - Maine time - and Joelle and I are wide awake. Mina has other ideas, however. I always knew she was a pretty smart kid. Good night.
