watch: hot summer fiasco recap!

I know, it's been a week and I'm just now getting to share this... forgive a girl who wanted to celebrate her birthday and take care of 324987 other things?! Kthanks.

You've hopefully seen my Carly Rae Jepsen and Cher Lloyd interviews, and the sweet intro video I spent way too long making, but now it's time to see the end result of all the hard work we put into the show!

For me, I thought the performances were obviously fun, but I loved the whole experience people got when they came. We made ourselves very available and mingled with everyone all day, we gave out free t-shirts, hooked people up with meet and greets, and just had an overall great time! [Forgive the quality on some of the shots.]

Seriously, being able to hang with so many listeners is awesome. The face they make when they realize we're actually real people who WILL talk to them and WILL go out of our way to take pictures and make sure they're having a good time... it's priceless.

Considering it was our first major show like this as a station, I'd say it went pretty damn well. I mean, we did the HOT Mess Fest, but this was on a much bigger scale.... and hopefully it'll only get bigger in the future!

exclusive interview: cher lloyd

One of the cool things about the HOT Summer Fiasco [full re-cap video and post will be coming up as soon as it's done!] was being able to touch up on my interviewing skills with different personalities. Each celebrity is so different, as well as the situation.

Some celebs will let you walk right in with a camera, sit down and start asking questions. Others don't allow cameras... and some even pick out which questions you can and can not answer. Of course with those people, I try and make the best out of the couple [four this time] questions I have and expand as much as possible. It's not easy. It may even be one of the more difficult situations for me because I like to have a conversation... when anything in my life becomes scripted, I tend to freeze up a little bit.

I got to go into Cher's dressing room before her meet and greet and chat it up a bit. If I could describe her off-stage in one word, it'd be fragile. She was so small, gentle, and a little quiet- the complete opposite of what I expected! BUT, she was definitely nice and beautiful.


Her on stage persona was everything I imagined. She was feisty like her brats and her songs. She was running all over the place. She was loud.... Now I'm wondering if she's got two names for these personas like other celebs do!

Also, I need to add "moan" to my vocabulary and use it the way she does. It was like a replacement for complain or whine. Sure, I use moan every once in a while... but in a very literal tense, and normally in a sexual way. She moans to her dad. [You should have seen my face when she said that.]
