After fighting major jet lag from our superb trip abroad, Ronn had to take yet another flight to NY for a Player concert. Personally, I don’t think he’s human and tell everyone he’s an alien because jet lag just never gets the best of him! He managed to have an awesome performance in gorgeous Chautauqua, NY with the “Sail Rock” tour. I had to pick him up from the airport to make it in time for a dinner party thrown by actress Allie Mills who plays Pam on B&B.
Allie has been generously trying to gather a few cast and crew members together to celebrate both Ronn and Susan Flannery for their work and departure from B&B for nearly a year now! And due to everyone’s schedules this was no easy task! Turns out Allie lives on the beautiful canals of Venice Beach, so coming from Italy this was rather appropriate and much appreciated for us.
We joined other cast members, John McCook and Katherine Kelly Lang, Ian Buchanan, as well as, a few crew members for the best turkey burgers I’ve ever had! I must say Allie sets a gorgeous table and even though Ronn had just flown back from NY and I was still fighting jet lag, we couldn’t have had more fun. It was great to finally see Susan and catch up with friends that are really like family. It was such a beautiful dinner party and we wish we could do this much more often.
It’s so apparent that both Ronn and Susan’s presence is not only missed by fans, but by their cast and crew. So raise your glasses to Allie and her wonderful husband Orson Bean for making this happen finally and a big kiss and thank you Allie for all your hard work in pulling it off![wpvideo l6fyhXLv][wpvideo 18EoGK8t]
This has truly been the most magical birthday ever for me and I’ve been celebrating it the entire month of June. Kicking it off with the success of the Canyon Club’s Player performance and extending it to our seconda casa in Roma, Firenze and Venezia with some of our most cherished friends. 50 was always a number I was afraid of in the past because my mom died of breast cancer at that age. I had times when I thought I wouldn’t make it in life to see that number and now I’m so happy and vibrant with my life that it’s indeed just a number to me. I think I will truly love my 50s and will never forget all the love and celebration surrounding this birthday.
The profound synchronicity of events, people and places that we have experienced during this trip is too much to put in mere words. I feel like the universe has bestowed an array of beautiful gifts, new friendships and love that I just can’t explain. Only to say it’s been pure magic. The fact that we had a huge full moon to boot with me being the ultimate Cancer moon child was no coincidence. It was meant to be a sign that my thoughts, passion and love of life will continue to flourish and I plan to give even more of myself to this world with great eagerness and compassion.
It’s always been my desire to make my life have meaning beyond mere success of just what I’ve chosen to do in this lifetime. I want to leave something behind that is much bigger than me and nothing is more important to me than giving back to those in need. I so admire women like Audrey Hepburn who did that in spades during her lifetime. So I believe this birthday of my turning a half of a century will mark what my new clear path is from now on and that is to continue to inspire and enlighten others through example. This is a true blessing to have my life take this new path now.
Because of this new path I have developed a new website for women that is about other dynamic women of this world that are making a difference and it’s called woman to woman. I’m happy to launch it with two amazing women that have already made such great marks on society in this world, supermodel, Kelly Emberg and Hollywood icon, Mamie Van Doren. So please take a look at www.womantowoman.tv and leave a comment on what you think.
Here are a few photos from our trip to gorgeous Venezia and our stop in Firenze for the Laura Biagiotti Doll Collection presentation, which was absolutely amazing! Always the perfect ending to our stay in Roma is when we spend time with our beloved Lavinia and Laura Biagiotti, whom we think of as family. Thank you as always for your wonderful hospitality and for the birthday blessings you have given to me on this milestone. A new Ronn’s Garage is coming with more details from our trip!
It’s been another amazing adventure in the southern part of Sicily here in beautiful Taormina for the prestigious annual film festival. Arriving here was quite an ordeal because Ronn’s luggage was lost the first few days and he had no clothing at all. Thank goodness there was a Taormina film festival t-shirt in his gift bag! Every night has started out with cocktails and photos with some of Europe’s most elite that have gathered to view different films every night in the 2300 year old outdoor theater that holds about 5000 people.
The first night’s premiere of “Man of Steel” honored Russell Crowe with an award for his body of work and featured the cast of the newly released, “Man of Steel” which I must say was amazing to watch in such an outdoor arena. After the screening there was a private elegant dinner held at the roof top of an amazing restaurant. This has been the routine each night as a different star has been honored with an award, including my hubby Ronn who has had a group of young teenage girls following him around since we arrived. They seem to be everywhere and it’s amazing how much they seem to adore my hubby.
It’s become impossible to walk around Taormina with Ronn because he draws a huge crowd for photos and autographs constantly, which he’s very gracious about doing, but it can become rather stifling at times to get from place to place and the crowd seems to get larger and larger with tons of young women!
It was a pleasant surprise to see Prince Albert of Monaco here for a special presentation of his green energy foundation and as a result we have now been invited to Monaco for other interesting appearances that Ronn will be making in the future. Each night has truly been a wonderful beautiful presentation of awards and films both American and Italian that have been followed by the most amazing dinner parties. Tiziana Rocca put on this event and we are proud and honored to have been a part of this wonderful week.
Last night Jeremy Irons was honored and tonight Meg Ryan is being honored, but I felt the need to relax and stay in for the evening. Each night’s dinner is at a different restaurant or hotel around Taormina so it’s easily becoming a very special week for us. We have been meeting some terrific and interesting people from all over the world and there is many wonderful opportunities brewing for Ronn to work in film, as well as, invitations to bring PLAYER to perform in places in and around Europe.
We are still celebrating my birthday and will continue to celebrate with a party being thrown for me next week in Rome by Prince Bassam Omar Salame’, his gorgeous wife and Lamia Khashoggi, one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever met. Turns out it was also Prince Salame’s birthday and he wishes to continue to celebrate my big milestone in Rome and also in Monaco later this summer. Needless to say, this is turning into the most amazing birthday ever for me and one I’ll never forget and am truly grateful and blessed to be celebrating with these amazingly beautiful people.
Sadly we have lost one of our guests who was coming in to attend the festival, James Gandolfini, aka Tony Soprano had a sudden apparent heart attack last night in Rome. So a special tribute is being paid to him tonight at the festival.
I was on such a high this past week from the Player concert. It was a night of celebration, love and just plain good fun that was had by all last Monday, as I embraced my dearest, sweetest friends from all over who came to spend that magical day with us. And I’m sooo not exaggerating, it was indeed magical. Many of the beautiful sweet puppies, kittens and dogs found homes. Kim Sill, founder of Shelter Hope Pet Shop had every volunteer working their little tushes off just to celebrate lil ole, me!
So it’s really the truth when I tell you that the Shelter Hope Pet Shop volunteers take what they do way seriously and with pleasure, joy and just plain beauty all around. That was the best damn birthday party a girl my age could ever hope to have and I was never more grateful, loved or celebrated than that evening. My favorite band in the world was singing just for me, okay and you too! No one at Shelter Hope Pet Shop expected what would happen the day after such a wonderful, beautiful event like our Canyon Club concert with Player. I really was on a beautiful high and so to hear the sad news the very next day that one of our sweetest most angelic volunteer Phillis Armstrong passed away of heart failure, was devastating to say the least to, not just me, but everyone.
Phillis touched everyone who met her and no one was as dedicated as she was as a volunteer, lover of animals and just plain good natured and good hearted soul. A sadness was felt even if you only saw a photo of her like this one of her in the green skirt holding that little furry bundle. Phillis embodied what an animal rescue lover truly stands for and her dedication will not be forgotten. We can only follow her example in giving of ourselves and to our society when we give from the heart and soul such as Phillis did in her seemingly short life.
So as Ronn and I take our journey tomorrow and carry Player with us when they join Orleans, Firefall and Christopher Cross in Del Mar, we will also take Phillis as our angel guide to help us continue our magical journey forward with her sweet spirit and the essence of that last magical evening spent with her. Phillis will forever be a part of Player now as we meet more Player Angels around the world, we will always carry our sweet angel Phillis in our hearts.
Mondays will always have a specialness to it now because I’ll never forget how we rocked out on a Monday with Player at the Canyon Club. The event was a great success to say the least. We filled the house and rocked it big time! Shelter Hope Pet Shop was amazing and I want to thank all the volunteers who put in all their time an effort on the decorations, gift bags and red carpet. Kim Sill, founder of Shelter Hope Pet Shop went overboard on an amazing cake that was too delicious and a great time was had by all.
We had REO Speedwagon in the house along, with artist Olivia, Michael Moebius, Katherine Kelly Lang, Winsor Harmon, Allie Mills, Orsen Bean, Adam Gregory, Linda Thompson, Sheree J. Wilson, Renee Tenison, Sean Kanan & Bud Cort all getting down on the dance floor to the music of Player. The band was amazing and the evening couldn’t have turned out better. We raised over $5000 for Shelter Hope Pet Shop and more donations are coming in everyday on behalf of my 50th birthday, so thank you all so much! We can save quite a few animals with this money. Fans flew in from all over the country to see the band and I had my best buddies and most awesome Player Angels on hand to help me as my ladies in waiting. I say that because all my girlfriends spent the weekend with me and they were all waiting on me hand and foot. So they bought me a tiara and made me Queen and they were Princesses. We all decided to wear our Player tank tops and I wore my tiara all night long being the Queen was fun!
My only regret is that some people brought me gifts even though I said, “NO GIFTS!” As a result I put them in my gift bag and at the end of the evening that bag was gone and so were my gifts and my tiara! So the quest to find my tiara and gifts is ongoing here. Anyone who has it and won’t give it back will be beheaded!! Thank you Kira Reed Lorsch for being the best MC ever!
Ronn and I had a weekend full of BBQ, friends and fun. We kicked it off with a small BBQ for some new friends and then went to our neighbor Patrick Warburton’s house to finish off the day. I had a little too much wine and fell asleep most of the evening on the couch while friends like KISS guitarist, Tommy Thayer and his lovely wife Amber took pics of me sleeping!
We then went up to the Playboy mansion to visit Hef and saw “Star Trek, Into the Darkness” and I had a lovely chat with beautiful intelligent women like Monique St. Pierre and Monika Henreid. We topped off our Memorial day weekend with a fun visit with our neighbors Sharyn and Phil who took us to see “The Hangover 3.” So now it’s time to focus on what’s coming up next weekend which kicks off my birthday fund raiser for Shelter Hope Pet Shop.
I have a house full of guests who are staying with us from out of town and PLAYER’s final rehearsals before the big June 3rd event. So my plate will be full of fun this coming weekend with all my beautiful girlfriends to help us celebrate and for such a worthy cause. So if you haven’t purchased a ticket yet to the event please do so, you won’t be disappointed and your ticket is tax deductible to boot! Go to
I was asked to speak at an animal rescue event yesterday that had a Mad Hatter theme. So Alice In Wonderland came out to greet us on the red carpet with friends Regina Russell and Frankie Banali. Sky Valencia put on the event for St. Martin’s charity that helps move homeless neglected animals into no kill shelters until they can find loving happy homes. With over 8 million animals that are put to death each year in the United States alone, it’s facilities like St. Martin that help raise funds to help these innocent creatures find love and affection.
It was also great to see my dear gal pal Donna Spangler there who is always rescuing animals. She has a huge heart of gold and we need more people like her in the world to open their hearts and educate others to over breeding and the over population of pets that are neglected, abandoned and abused. This is part of the reason I wanted to do something to help this great cause for my 50th birthday and teamed up with Shelter Hope Pet Shop to do just that with Player performing on June 3rd. So please know that every little bit helps these poor innocent animals get the help and care they need to survive in this world. I hope you will join us in our quest to bring this staggering numbers down with your support.
I love this time of the year when the flowers are blooming and summer in on the horizon, but it always gets so busy with events, parties, movie screenings and BBQs. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining because I love having a full life, it’s just the beginning of being a busy bee and it’s already started for us. Ronn is a busier bee than ever with Player rehearsals for the upcoming June 3rd charity event at the Canyon Club in honor of my big 50th birthday. I have so many girlfriends flying in from Louisiana, Texas, Chicago and New Jersey who are staying with me, so we will have a full house the weekend before to celebrate. We have quite an interesting guest list of people coming to the event, so it should be a terrific evening! Putting together an event like this one is time consuming and requires every detail to be attended to in advance. I want everyone to have an excellent time and have Shelter Hope Pet Shop raise alot of money to save as many animals as possible in the next year. They saved over 400 last year!
In addition to planning this event, I’ve made some changes to the 411 website and haven’t announced Ronn’s leading lady yet because there are some scheduling issues to deal with due to other offers that Ronn has been receiving, and we are trying to fit everything in. Ronn will also be touring this summer with Player for the US Sail Rock tour with other artists such as, Orleans, Christopher Cross, John Ford Coley and Firefall. So he’s is going from one event to touring to filming and there are no breaks in between.
As you know, we are also going to Italy in mid June for the Taormina Film Festival in which he doing a speaking engagement that he must prepare a presentation for. And there’s always Ronn’s Garage to edit and film, so my dear wonderful hubby is a busy busy bee. I’m also working on a new website devoted to everything that women love called, woman to woman. I will feature amazing women in all areas that we women want to see such as fashion, health and beauty. So see I’m a busy bee too, but I also want to try and have some fun! So I think as busy bees it’s going to be a great fun filled summer that I for one am looking forward to and I will try and keep you updated as usual on things as they progress!
Ronn and I had a screening of the upcoming movie release, “Easy Rider, The Ride Back” starring Jeff Fahey and Sheree Wilson. We really enjoyed the movie and if you are a fan of “Easy Rider” you won’t be disappointed with this long awaited sequel. Writer, producer, Phil Pitzer is also the writer of Ronn’s upcoming 411 movie. This film has been four years in the making and is finally set to be released this August. A heartfelt story that picks up where “Easy Rider” left off is one that you will surely appreciate. Sheree has become a friend and is our next guest on Ronn’s Garage. She is also best friends with my first agent who started my career in film and television many years ago. So as a result I’m going to be re-united with my old agent whom I adored and who has battled MS all these years. I take this as a sign of things coming around full circle which can only mean blessings. So take a look at the trailer for “Easy Rider, The Ride Back” and make a point to see it this summer!
Ronn and I had the privilege to attend a private screening of a wonderful film, “The Southside” that should be seen by all. The cast was amazing and Kristos Andrews is one terrific actor that you lose yourself watching! Nicolas Coster also makes a wonderful cameo in this film.
Based on a true story, Robert Areizaga Jr., (Kristos Andrews, Emmy®-nominated THE BAY), determined to make a better life for himself, struggles through a series of trials and tribulations that take him dangerously close to the edge. Always struggling to get ahead, Robert isn’t ready to give up the party life with his ‘goons‘ just yet. Lured by the prospect of quick cash, Robert takes a foolish chance with the law, a decision that costs him nearly everything. Robert realizes he needs to change his life and decides to take the Yonkers police exam. When his life takes a positive turn, Robert attends a house party unaware that members of a brutal gang would also be there. When the night quickly turns into a nightmare, the lives of everyone are changed forever.
THE SOUTHSIDE is written and directed by record-breaking, Emmy-nominated producer Gregori J. Martin (THE BAY / RAVEN). The film stars Kristos Andrews (X Games Skateboarding Champion and Guinness World Record Holder), Douglas Santiago (star of the Green/Renzi and Independent Film Channel’s blockbuster hit GIRLFIGHT), Hip-Hop sensation of the early part of the millennium, Cuban Link, and featuring Puerto Rican film and TV icon Miriam Colon, best known for her role as “Mama Montana” in the Universal Pictures motion picture SCARFACE. Please visit their media pages and website and show your support for this amazing film.
I found out yesterday that my book, “True Age, Timeless Beauty” was entered on the Elit Awards. My publisher entered the book and it won the gold award in the sexuality/relationships category. The Elit Awards is for digital books and there’s a gold, silver and bronze award in each category of different genres. This award will provide me with a certificate and stamp for my website as one of the winners for 2012. I’m very grateful to have received this award and happy so many of you are benefiting from this book.
Everyday is a challenge in relationships for we must all work at them in some way. Whether they are love relationships or friendships, relationships are important to our overall growth as a human being. I certainly try to be in gratitude each and every day for all the blessings in my life such as my amazing husband, great health, good friends, a loving home and prosperity. When we have our lives in balance it’s easy to see where we need to place our energy and focus and giving back to others is part of being in gratitude.
My goal for putting together the PLAYER concert around my birthday is to give back and I chose Shelter Hope Pet Shop as the charity to give to because they are so unique. The only animal rescue center in a mall with over 400 dogs adopted in one year, shows their passion for saving animals and finding them good homes. The poor homeless animals need our help and having been a foster child in my own life, I know what they are feeling. The need to have someone love them is all they want in this world.
So please go to the Shelter Hope Pet Shop and take a look a their website and see all the wonderful work they are doing to get these animals adopted. They specialize in dogs and rabbits and no one cares more about finding good homes for them then Shelter Hope Pet Shop. I’m in total gratitude to be a part of such a wonderful cause and looking forward to seeing many of you at the PLAYER concert on June 3rd to benefit this wonderful charity. Remember your ticket to the PLAYER concert is tax deductible and you will receive a letter from Shelter Hope Pet Shop for this. My birthday is just icing on the cake!
I guess once a model always a model rings true even at my age. So when I got the bug to get back in front of the camera, I had to make it fun. And nothing is more fun than playing dress up with your girlfriends at any age! Ronn happens to be a born photographer. He’s had a camera in his hand since the age of five and has always loved it. But, it’s not easy to get down time with him where he has the focus to do it. I know how incredibly creative he is whether doing music, acting or photography, Ronn is a perfectionist who does it beautifully and like no other. I’ve had the privilege of shooting with many amazing photographers in my long career as a model and Ronn is just as good as the best ones I’ve worked with. His lighting is impeccable and he has a great eye for capturing the inner part of anyone. He also shoots super fast and there are always tons of amazing photos to choose from, which makes picking the best ones rather difficult. So I think it’s safe to say we had a lot of beauty and style in this photo shoot. I wanted to capture an essence of the 50’s and 60’s with looks and styles from that era.
So the journey will continue into next week when I shoot with Playmates, Barbara Moore and Ava Fabian, both who are simply incredible models. I love creating artistically beautiful photos that stand the test of time and look forward to playing dress up alot more with my girlfriends and the best photographer I know. Thank you Brittany for the fabulous hair and makeup and to Lisa Marie for just being your terrific fun self, looking forward to doing it again and again!
Yesterday we had a lovely girls spa day at the gorgeous Four Season’s Hotel. Lori and I wanted to celebrate Tina and Sue’s upcoming birthdays with a much needed day having a facial and massage and lunch by the pool. To our surprise the one and only Kendra was sitting right next to us with her husband Hank. So it was great to catch up with her. Tina, Sue, Lori and I had a blast and toured the gardens and green house afterwards. Then I had to rush home to cook dinner for Frankie Banali and Regina Russell. We hung out listening to Player songs the rest of the night. So my Spacation day was quite lovely and relaxing.
I’m now in the mist of re-designing all our websites including the 411 movie website. This weekend we are having a glamourous photo shoot with a couple of my girlfriends and me as it’s been a while since I’ve taken any photos and Ronn is of course the photographer. So I’m sure the photos will be gorgeous and it will be a super fun day. I’m so looking forward to having the band rehearsals for my upcoming birthday party and I’m so happy that so many of you are excited to attend. You may purchase your tickets here as we hope to see as many of you possible there on June 3rd. This will be the only chance to see PLAYER live in Los Angeles for a while.
I had a lot of fun at “Hooters” last weekend doing an autograph book signing for the rescue center, “Shelter Hope Pet Shop” which has rescued over 400 pets in one year. My dear friend Kira Reed Lorsch joined me as we pre celebrated Easter weekend with some adorable pups. Shelter Hope Pet Shop is the only rescue center located in the Janns market center in Thousand Oaks. I want to thank everyone who came out to visit us and share the photos and videos from that day with you! Visit Shelter Hope Pet Shop for more info.
Okay this will be one exciting event, not to be missed. PLAYER will perform at the the Canyon Club on June 3rd to celebrate my 50th birthday and all proceeds will go to the Shelter Hope Pet Shop. I wanted to do something big in celebration of my 50 years on this planet and my wish was to have everyone I know to be there with PLAYER performing. I DO NOT want gifts!!
This is my gift having all of you be there with us to celebrate! Tickets are on sale now and there are three levels of seating. The best value is the VIP tables which seat 6 people per table and include open bar and dinner. There are only 11 left as of now and are going for $1200 per table or $200 per person. The next level is at $98 per person in which you must make a dinner reservation. The third level is at $49 and standing room only. This will be an awesome event benefiting the amazing Shelter Hope Pet Shop which has helped rescue so many animals and place them in great homes. It is the only rescue center in a mall and I’m so happy that we can help this great cause. So I advise you to RSVP your tickets sooner rather than later for the best seats.
PLAYER will be performing their classic hits like, “This Time I’m In It For Love” “It’s For You” “Silver Lining” and of course “Baby Come Back.” They will also be performing their new songs from their newly released, “Too Many Reasons.” CD now available on itunes and Amazon. This will be the first major concert of PLAYER in Los Angeles and one that I’m sure will please everyone. So please join in celebrating my 50th birthday and help support the Shelter Hope Pet Shop by joining us on June 3rd at the Canyon Club!! If you can’t make the concert and want to make a tax deductible donation please make checks out to Shelter Hope Pet Shop and send to 1336 Moorpark Rd #326, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360. A big kiss and much gratitude!!
As we gear up to start shooting the movie 411, we kick it off on April 1st with a Player video shoot and we are looking for people to come and hang out with us that day onset. The 411 movie is a thriller with lots of twists and turns. Ronn plays, James Ivory the hottest action star on television who moonlights as a rock star. In this scene James Ivory is filming a music video and connects with a hot girl in the audience who mysteriously turns up dead after the concert leading detectives to wonder if James Ivory is the one who killed her. So if you want to have some fun on April 1st when we shoot this scene, email me at missjune85@yahoo.com and send me a picture. We would love to have as many of you as possible help us celebrate Ronn’s debut as a director on our first day of shooting 411.
Ronn and I attended “The Bold and Beautiful’s” 26th anniversary party held at The Standard Hotel in Downtown LA. It was in a ping pong sports bar and enticed alot of the cast to challenge each other in ping pong. The party seemed like a high school reunion for us due to the fact that we hadn’t seen the cast in crew for several months. Everyone seemed to miss Ronn and he of coursed missed everyone, so there were constant pictures and hugs throughout the night, so much so that Ronn didn’t even get a chance to eat anything and was starving by the time we drove home. Can we say “In and Out” burger?
It was fun to hang and see friends like Winsor Harmon, Katherine Kelly Lang, Scott Clifton, Jacqueline McInnes Wood and so many crew members that Ronn considers family. So funny how fast time flies as it’s now been over six months since Ronn left the show. A funny video was made spoofing B&B with Mrs. Lee Bell as the star with her little dog, “Joy.” Here’s to wishing “The Bold and The Beautiful” many more years of success and many more parties!
I know you’ve heard us say that Italy is our second home and it is looking more and more that way. The Italians have had a love affair with Ronn for decades now and he seems to visit that country more than any other. It’s hard to say no to any invitation because there are so many beautiful places to visit in Italy. This upcoming invitation is one that I am extremely excited about because it falls around my big 50th birthday in June and it’s a place I’ve never been in Sicily.
Ronn has been invited to attend the prestigious 59th Taormina Film Festival held in the beautiful scenario of the ancient Greek-Roman monument “Teatro Antico”, facing the Etna volcano, in the heart of the Mediterranean area. Past actors such as, Robert De Niro, Oliver Stone, Sophia Loren, Colin Firth have had the honor of being asked to do a presentation at this beautiful theater that is embedded in a rock and only holds about 19,000 people. Here is a link to the festival for more information Taormina Film Festival 2013
I take this is as another gift from the universe that we are on the right path in our exciting new career ventures and the fact that this invitation falls near my big birthday makes me so happy to again visit another beautiful place in Italy. So here are some pics of the beautiful outdoor theater and the coast of Sicily. I’m imagining my morning cappuccinos now.
On this day the world was gifted with a beautiful soul that we call, Ronn Moss. He has been a shining light to many of us throughout the years with his presence as a friend, father, actor, musician and spouse. Ronn is truly a gifted soul in so many ways and an inspiration to many of you around the world. So as we celebrate his birthday we are reminded of what he means to all of us, especially his family. There is much more to come from this gifted soul called, Ronn Moss as he now embarks on a new career as director for his upcoming film debut 411, and I’m sure as always he won’t disappoint. This is something Ronn was born to do, especially because he’s always had a love for photography and cameras, and as most of you know by now, he’s really quite good at it. So I believe this is really just the next natural phase of his promising career as a director. I know how much you all are loving the Ronn’s Garage series and there are some exciting guests and upcoming shows that I know you will absolutely love, so keep tuning in and spread the word.
We are also very pleased with the great reviews and amazing comments we have been getting on Player’s new CD, “Too Many Reasons” and if you haven’t ordered your copy, you are really missing out. All 14 songs are a terrific blend of that amazing sound that only Player has today. So upcoming tours are being planned for the summer as a we speak. Ronn is busier than ever with other movie offers that includes him as a director, so I think you will be happy to see his progress in this new field. His recent appearances in Italy proves that more and more people are discovering Ronn Moss and not just Ridge Forrester.
Speaking of Ridge Forrester, I was very disappointed that the Emmys overlooked Ronn as an actor yet again. Even though I submitted him this year, he didn’t even get a pre-nomination by the Emmys for his body of work, which in my opinion is downright disgusting. Now keep in mind, Ronn never submitted himself all these years to even be in the running of an Emmy, which the actors must do to even be considered. So the fact that I did submit him and he didn’t even get the pre-nomination confirms that he made the absolute right decision leaving daytime behind because they never appreciated him or his talent. I hope now that you all understand this is his time to move forward and not look back. The way he was written off B&B should prove that he was not really appreciated at all and bigger and better things await this gifted soul that has so much more to give the world.
I will be launching the 411 website in the next week with the cast members and ways you can participate with us on Ronn directorial debut in the movie 411. As most of you already know Ronn loves his fans and I’ve never seen anyone take the time to communicate and interact with their fans the way he does, and he’s always been this way. So trust me, the best is yet to come and you all will be there to cheer him on I’m sure. So please if you haven’t subscribed to our blog or the Player Angels, please do so that you can keep up with where Player will perform next and what appearances are coming up first! This is also a great way to get discounts on merchandise and be the first to know about contests and ways you can meet Ronn and I. With St. Patty’s day approaching I say the luck of the Irish is on our side and since Ronn and I are both part Irish, I know I’m right.
Ronn wanted me to share this video he made to make you guys feel like you were there with him and KKL at the Laura Biagiotti fashion show. We also want to congratulate Brian Liss who won our contest for the new autographed Player CD, “Too Many Reasons” that was released worldwide today. This is what Brian wrote about Player.
There are just “Too Many Reasons” why i wouldn’t fall in love with the band “Player” and it’s awesome music. I first got hooked on “Player” music back in 2008 when I found out that my favorite actor on the daytime hit show “The Bold And The Beautiful” was a famous musician before his acting career. So i looked up his name and that is Ronn Moss who played Ridge Forrester and is also the bass gutarist for the group “Player”. My first song that I ever heard was “Baby Come Back”, such a really great song that you can listen to over and over again and now i can say it is on my list of songs that you know by heart. My other favorite moment that i really loved about the group “Player” is back in 2010 if i get my years right. It was around Christmas time and i saw this video on youtube when the group was rehearsing a Christmas song in “Ronn’s Garage”. This was before Ronn’s web series. My favorite members of “Player” are Peter Beckett and Ronn Moss because they are two founders of the group. I also love all the other songs “Player” has done in the past, i recently purchased a greatest hits CD of the band and it is in my car and I can listen to the group over and over. I had a chance to see the group live back in 2008 but i did not know they were in the Boston area, otherwise i would have been to both of their shows at Twin River Casino in Rhode Island. Every song has touched me in different ways, the music the band sings touches your heart, it’s relaxing music to listen to anytime of the day. I am looking forward to hearing new music from such a talented group of musicians. And when I hear “Baby Come Back” which i think is the bands signature song to date. My biggest dream right now is to see “Player” live and in person. Not only when you listen to them on a CD, it is a lot better to see the group live and share every song with a large audience. So one can say that there are “Too Many Reasons” how you couldn’t fall in love with music from the group “Player”………
It’s been over a week and a half since hubby left for Italy and even though I miss him terribly, I love being alone. I always get so much done and haven’t stopped since he left spring cleaning my closet. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time, but never having the time to devote to doing. Getting rid of things you don’t use or need for others to enjoy tells the universe you are ready for new exciting things to come into your life. I devoted a chapter on “Home” in my book, “True Age, Timeless Beauty.” It’s something I’ve been doing all my life and being a Cancer, my home is very much where most of my energy is. Cooking, entertaining and spending quality time with the family and intimate time with hubby is what’s important to me. “Home is where the heart” is, I’m sure you’ve heard that before.
I’m also happy that I got our taxes off to the accountant. That is something I hate to do, as I’m sure most of you do too. But I find doing the mundane things you hate doing a little bit each day will get those tasks out of the way in record time. I love what i call, “Time Management” and budgeting my time to have free quality time with hubby by getting these things out of the way. I hate waiting until the last minute to scramble to do such things. Procrastination has been an issue with all of us from time to time I’m sure, but I feel it holds you back from moving forward in life to get into such habits. So when I put my mind into doing something, I just do it! This time spent alone has also given me the chance to catch up with some of my friends and spend quality time together, so I’ve not been bored one second.
I try to be in gratitude each and every day for whatever life throws at me because it’s always a learning experience for growth. This is also explained in my book, “True Age, Timeless Beauty.” Everything starts with gratitude. Be grateful for what you have not what you don’t is what I try to live by. I’m am at a period in life that I don’t feel I want or need anything and wish to get rid of most of the things I have accumulated over the past years. I want to simplify my life and not have so many things to deal with anymore. I love life to be in balanced in every area so that the universe can bring me to that next level of growth. Letting go of the old things only tells the universe that you are ready for new ones and it’s the period between the old and the new that’s most exciting. The transition into the exciting new unknown has always challenged and thrilled me because I can feel my growth happening and welcome it.
So I’m excited to welcome the new things that I know are coming into our lives soon and I’m grateful for the old things that have been there to get me to the point I am thus far in this game called, “Life.”
Just in time for Valentine’s day, those babies are back with their first single from their new upcoming CD, “Too Many Reasons” that will be released worldwide on Feb 26th. In the meantime, enjoy, “I will.”
When I heard of the passing of Mary O’Conner there was a great saddness that engulfed my being. I knew Hef would need all the love and support he could get to help him through such a loss. She was the glue that held the Playboy family together for 40 years. When I say Playboy is a family, that’s exactly what it has been to me and many girls for nearly 6o years now. Many of you have seen her on “The Girls Next Door” but what you may not know about Mary is that she was Hef’s right arm. She was the lady of the mansion and very much a family member to him and many of the Playmates.
Mary was a strong independent lady with many talents. She was even one of the first ladies to get into car racing and won a race, which helped pioneer the way for women in racing. Mary was also a force of nature and many girls feared her just because of her presence. She was almost six feet tall and always honest and direct by nature. It was her job to know every person that entered the grounds of the Playboy mansion and to keep Hef’s best interests at heart. Mary did her job with great loyalty, honesty and grace. She made you feel welcome and endeared herself to everyone who had the privilege to know her.
I thought for many years that she didn’t like me because I was never a Playmate that hung out a the mansion. I lived in Chicago when I became a Playmate and was always a strong, independent woman. So I didn’t really get to know Mary until the last decade. I think she became closer with the girls whom she felt needed her guidance and wisdom, and she gave that unconditionally to so many of the girls who frequented the mansion. Mary came to my bridal shower with Playmate Victoria Fuller and adored Ronn, so that made me feel that I got her approval, which was saying alot.
Yesterday’s memorial service was a small and intimate tribute to a woman who led a great life. One that was filled with many friends and much admiration. I feel blessed that I got to know her. She would have Saturday card games at her house where she cooked tons of food for all her friends and Ronn and I had attended one of them. But due to the fact that we live so far away and had kids with such a busy schedule, we didn’t get to spend much time with her for those kinds of evenings as much as we would have liked to. At 82 Mary was taking care of her great love, Captain Bob who died last year and ultimately her own health was failing.
Playmate Pop artist, Victoria Fuller lived close to Mary and took care of her in her final days. Victoria’s daughter, Trease was our flower girl in our wedding and we adore Victoria, who gave a touching loving speech at Mary’s memorial. Other speakers included, Berry Gordy and Cooper Hefner with many Playmates and pinup stars in attendance such as, Dita Von Teese. I think this was a fitting and beautiful tribute to a woman who led a wonderful life filled with beautiful memories and someone who left her mark on many that will never forget her.
Since we are moving closer to Valentine’s Day and love is in the air, at least that’s how I”m feeling these days. There is just an elation of endorphins that are running through my acute awareness of every emotion I’m feeling, and how powerful thoughts are becoming in manifesting my goals in life. Looking back on the past 50 years I’ve almost had on this planet, I can say that I have learned a thing or two about life, people and things. If you are paying attention to your own emotions and how they guide you to the things you desire most, you will feel something that is beyond mere words.
Because I’m a goal driven person and an avid daydreamer, organizer and an optimist, always have been. I tend to see the good and want what’s good for all concerned because it’s what’s always best for my growth, and the planet as a whole. I know the art of manifestation because I’ve practiced it many times in many ways during my life. I have manifested my home, career, health and even my husband! All of this I point out with stories in my book, “True Age, Timeless Beauty: Finding the Fountain of Youth and All That You Desire. I wrote it to help others understand and grow in spirit and manifest even the fountain of youth if that’s your strongest desire. Remember, what one person wants or needs in this lifetime can be vastly and uniquely different for many reasons that are not physically seen.
It is always in your best and more uplifting desire to be happy, centered and content on every level of your life. Know that the universe will provide and give you what is just and right and at the perfect time. It is for this reason that i love the process of the art of manifestation. When I say that, I mean the process of bringing into reality, that of which I desire. When going through this process I feel excited, happy and creative. I flourish in every area of my life and go through a range of emotions that tell me my will is to be done.
This process makes me feel that I am one with the universe and there could be no better place to be than the here and now. I focus on what I want and am aware of the the blessings and unique path the universe will guide me on to attain my goal. I see myself having it already, or doing it or living or being it and it is. The art of manifestation is within all of us. It’s that inner feeling that makes you excited to focus on each and every minute of everyday. It’s your passion that you need to share with all of the world. It’s what makes us unique and special, because no two people are exactly alike and we all have gifts to offer and share. It is with this wisdom that peace is born and the art of manifestation has taken your soul to it’s highest feeling of elation and bliss.
Right now I write all of this because Ronn and I are in an amazing manifestation period and since we’ve done this process together before, I know it’s going to an exciting experiences to learn and grown from. Change is growth and I welcome change personally, although most people have issues around it. Most are held back because of fear of failure. Most are afraid of the unknown, but it’s the process between the known and the unknown that’s the most exciting. At least that’s been my experience. So I love change and usually welcome it with open arms. That’s not to say, the process isn’t emotional.
With this comes change of the highest and greatest good for all of us to share, grow and learn from. Several of my friends are also going through changes with lots of emotion behind it right now and I’m here to tell you to welcome it and relish it. Be grateful for it and excited about it and most of all find love and inner peace by letting go of the fear and trust that the universe will guide you.
There has been alot going on with Ronn and I for the past few weeks and 2013 has taken off with a bang! Ronn has been busy preparing for his upcoming trip to Italy in which he will be promoting his fashion campaign with Katherine Kelly Lang for Impero Couture. They are launching the commercial on Valentine’s Day. Now if I didn’t love KKL so much myself, I’d be jealous that my husband isn’t spending Valentine’s Day with me and will be in Italy with her on that day. However, I’m not jealous, but happy that the campaign is so elegant and beautiful and it’s a perfect day to launch such a campaign. So hubby and I will celebrate the day before and I will see his cute little butt off to fly into the sunset with his Logan. I know how much you all love that and being a fan, so do I.
I chose not to go this trip because in addition to doing that promotion, Ronn will be traveling alot within Italy to various cities to promote his upcoming Player CD, “Too Many Reasons.” I don’t think this wil be a a fun trip for me to tag along on because he’s going to be on the go constantly. Besides, I have so much on my plate to deal with here at home with real estate now picking up finally and getting things prepared for the 411movie shoot and Ronn’s Garage. We have Ray Parker Jr, Jacquline MacInnes Wood and Rove coming up over the next few months and I’m looking forward to them all visiting us and to cook up something yummy! I’ve been getting all your requests to have Ronn and I cook together and I believe that is a real possibility. There’s even been talk about Ronn and I doing a TV cooking show together, which I would just love.
All that being said, we are absolutely loving life these days. Ronn is more relaxed and feeling creative. He’s writing for his memoir and it’s quite good and very interesting. I’ve told him his life story’s roots are fascinating and should be a book. All the stories he’s told me from his experiences growing up to his days on tour with the band, to 25 years of being Ridge Forrester. It’s something he must write and wants to now. Ronn is also doing the music for the 411movie, so he’s been busy preparing to shoot some music videos that will be in the movie, as well as, theme music for it. And as you know he does everything for Ronn’s Garage, including the editing, so he’s finishing up German pinup artist Michael Moebius now. I can safely say Ronn is also loving life because of all this creativity he now has time for in doing the things he loves the most. This past week we were spending time with our new friends from Monaco and their three adorable little girls, a set of twins who are four years old and the oldest daughter who is six. One of the twins really took to me and we are now best buds. I look forward to seeing them again soon.
Last night we celebrated another birthday with my dear friend writer, producer, director Jeff Franklin. Known for his brilliance in comedic writing, he created the hit syndicated TV series, “Full House” and has been a close friend since I arrived in Hollywood back in 1985. I said my first words on TV written by Jeff when I appeared as Garry Shandling’s fantasy girl on the “Garry Shandling Show.” Jeff created “Full House” shortly after Garry’s show was canceled and is also responsible for writing and directing movies such as the cult classic comedy, “Love Stinks” and “Summer School.” Now Jeff always throws fabulous parties and last night was exceptional with an amazing band, delicious food and beautiful decor in his lovely home filled with exotic fish tanks. He even has baby sharks in one tank and has three of them built into the wall of his house that is one of the most beautiful homes I’ve ever seen. The views are 360 and the house has a bit of history that may freak some people out. It sits on the same site where the Manson murders took place many years ago.
However, Jeff’s great energy and beautiful home has brought nothing but, joy, peace and love to those grounds and his amazing parties have only helped that energy and I believe he too is loving life with another birthday under his belt. Jeff and I have a tradition in that we are both Elvis fans and he has a large Elvis collection. I always try to add to it with something he doesn’t have and have been successful the past couple years with a bubble gum Elvis pack and a mini Elvis lunchbox. He has a Priscilla and Elvis Barbie that I wish I had for my Barbie collection! I’m so thrilled that my book, “True Age, Timeless Beauty: Finding the Fountain of Youth and Everything You Desire is touching lives and I’m happy to be a part of a new book entitled, “Wounded, Survive, Thrive” 101 Women’s Journey’s from Torment to Triumph in which I share my personal story. I hope this book helps many women overcome abuse of any kind and thrive in their lives.

As we kick off a brand new year and almost five years of Devin’s Kickass Cajun Seasoning, I’m happy to know that so many of you love our spice! Most of you know we created the spice because of my love for Cajun cooking and my home state of Louisiana. Devin’s Kickass Cajun Seasoningwas created especially to help the city of New Orleans recover from the devastation of hurricane Katrina and we give part of the proceeds directly to help that effort. Last year we gave $14,000 to Brad Pitt’s charity, “Make It Right” who is directly helping New Orleans rebuild ecological housing. This year we hope to top that and with your help I’m sure we can exceed that number as New Orleans continues to rebuild. However, our spice doesn’t just benefit New Orleans, it benefits any other natural disasters that has happened in our country such as, hurricane Sandy in New York recently. We want to be known as the spice that gives back.
Devin’s Kickass Cajun Seasoning and Cajun Cookin
Cookin Cajun
In addition toDevin’s Kickass Cajun Seasoning, I created thecookbook, “Cajun Cookin” with a variety of not only Cajun recipes, but appetizers, soups, salads, stews and meats to use with our spice because it’s simply great on everything. Most of our customers actually use the phrase, “We use it on everything.” That’s no exaggeration because I know we do and have for nearly five years now. Our Cajun spice is lower in sodium than any other Cajun seasoning that I know of and has no MSG. I created that way because I was tired of what was in the supermarkets. Most Cajun spices were way too salty and did contain MSG. So our spice is my original recipe that I perfected for that reason. It’s got alot of flavor and a bit of a kick, but not to spicy, so it really does just make you the cook you didn’t know you could be just by adding it to any dish. My “Cookin Cajun” cookbookis now available in an ebook that you can download to your ipad or computer and has lots of wonderful photos to go with nearly every dish.
The Future of Devin’s Kickass Cajun Seasoning
When we createdDevin’s Kickass Cajun Seasoning we wanted to start small and grow organically with a product we could be proud of. Since Ronn and I are in the entertainment business, we knew nothing about the food industry, which was a bit of an education in the process of creating “Devin’s Kickass Cajun Seasoning” and took nearly two years to formulate. My goal is to have it one day be in the supermarkets and available all over at a cheaper price. It’s very hard to compete with brands that are household names and already on the shelves in supermarkets, however I will not give up on this dream because I know we have a “kickass” product pardon the pun. Most of you who have tried it know what I’m talking about and those of you who haven’t, well you are missing out. We use it for BBQs, in the summer and I love to give it to our new friends and have them come back and rave about how much they love it on everything. So we believe the future of Devin’s Kickass Cajun Seasoning is very bright and with your continued help will be the a spice that makes a difference!
I have been working with a very special young lady who loves to bake and is super into vegan, healthy living and best of all, gluten free desserts. She is only seventeen years old and I’ve practically watched her passion for baking unfold before my eyes. Her mom is my best gal pal Lori Crowder and since Lori and I workout all the time, she tempts me constantly with Kayla’s sinful creations of amazing baking treats.
So I thought this teenager needs to cultivate that gift. She has a passion of baking healthy treats she loves creating, I was excited to form a website for her to share that passion for gluten free desserts and healthy living tips to help us all and well, just make us happy. Kayla has a twin sister, Kirstie and they are also Valentine babies that are just too adorable. I think Kayla’s passion for baking is a great way for her to earn extra money with her website. She’s an entrepreneur in the making and natural California girl with a terrific personality and great healthy living tips and recipes.
Kayla’s gluten free desserts is really a labor of love and Kayla is a joy to be around. Since baking is really not my thing, although I can do it, I thought she would be a nice addition on Ronn’s Garage from time to time to teach us all a thing or two about baking gluten free desserts that we can be a little happier and healthier from. So give her a shout out and check out her lovely creations as we develop more of www.kaylasglutenfreedesserts.com
I think it’s safe to say we are all happy the world didn’t end in 2012 and we are finally able to welcome 2013! It feels like this year is promising better things than the previous year, but then again isn’t that the only way we should look at it? Ronn and I spent a lovely New Year’s Eve at the Playboy mansion ringing in the new year as only the Playboy mansion can with old and new friends like actor, Bud Cort known for his role as Harold in the movie, “Harold and Maude.”
It was nice to see Playmate Hope Marie Carlton, who was Miss July 1985. Hope and I were back to back Playmates in the same year and I haven’t seen her in many years. Known for the Andy Sidaris movies, including the one Ronn did entitled, “Hard Ticket To Hawaii, Hope now teaches power yoga in Colorado five days a week and her killer body shows it! ” Since Hef decided to get married yesterday underneath this beautiful archway of flowers, we thought we’d take a photo under the arch as a momento.
Ronn has so many interesting projects on the horizon starting with the new Player CD that will be released in February. I am so excited about that and I believe you will understand what I mean soon. So as a celebration we will have a Devronn contest to win an autographed CD of Player’s “Too Many Reasons” to a lucky DevRonn subscriber. I will be emailing subscribers with details of what is required to win soon. But you must subscribe to this blog to be eligible to win!
We hope you had a wonderful New Year’s eve and that all your goals for the new year are prosperous and joyful. I will continue to update you on what’s coming up in this exciting new year. Welcome 2013!
