Review: Picture Perfect

For Lauren Tate, a high-powered TV producer, sex, lies, and scandal make for a great movie-of-the-week, but when she becomes the target of a smear campaign, even the most salacious of Hollywood’s tales can’t compare to her real life drama. With her soon-to-be-ex-husband leading the effort to sully her reputation, and her former assistant threatening to snatch her hard-earned position at Timeless Television out of her hands, Lauren’s perfectly planned life quickly begins to unravel at the seams. 

Clawing her way back to the top of the TV food chain is no easy task, especially in an industry where backstabbing is a sport and gossip is a full time business. But Lauren learns just how cut throat showbiz can truly be when the hottest scandal in Tinsel Town turns deadly and the Hollywood hunk who’s stolen her heart is missing in action. Can she salvage her career, her reputation, and her love life? Or will Hollywood be the death of her?

“Blow Me!”

Blow Me is the story of three single women trying to make it (read: survive) in L.A. Skylar, Dawn, and Chloe are hovering around 40 while still living a 20-something lifestyle in an attempt to land the love (or bank account) of their life. Unfortunately such goals haven’t been easy to come by.  Skye (with an E) is a trained hairdresser turned executive assistant that just lost her job, set her apartment on fire, and now with only $30 to her name lives out of her car. Dawn gave up her MBA to help her family during tough times only to now be stuck at Model Dating service, hooking up young women with rich men. And French-Canadian Chloe is a master of the “slash” job status as a actress/real estate agent/husband hunter who has yet to be successful at any of them. In the land of plastic, where everyone seems fake, can a woman truly know who she is and what she wants for herself? And if she does, how can she get it?
