Once upon a time I met a guy at a Sushi Bar in Santa Monica. I was going to Ballet, he was…studying handwriting. We started talking. Actually, I believe he asked me to write something down on a piece of paper so that he could, oh I don’t know, give me more insight into me. Perhaps it was kismet. I had just lost my job, and he happened to need an assistant. Or perhaps he was just trying to pick me up. He was after all, as I found out later, working on a book about the pick-up artist community.
Why am I bringing all this up? Life has a strange way of coming full circle. Working with Neil was definitely interesting, and the characters I met during that brief period were even more. But then I moved on, because we all eventually do, and I needed a real job. So I moved down to San Diego, and after a while lost touch with everyone until…I moved back up to LA, and one night found myself getting hit on by one of these PUAs.
The next day I couldn’t help myself. I got on Facebook and looked up Neil, and by crossing that path also found Ross Jeffries, and then J The Ripper was asking if he could interview me on his podcast; suddenly I was back in the game:)

Dear Keira,
I would LOVE for you to play the role of Hannah in the Sex, Life, & Hannah TV series. I think you’d be perfect. First of all, you look the part to a tee: “I stuff extra padding into my tight lacy bodice to give a greater impression of cleavage; unfortunately, I need it. At least I’m skinny. I’d rather be skinny and flat than voluptuous and fat. Skinny chicks can always move to L.A., get boob jobs, and start dating young, hot, model/actor types—even when they’re forty and divorced with three kids”. Just please don’t ever get a boob job.
And how could it not be fun to play an amusing, neurotic , twenty-eight-year-old woman looking for love in LA? You would have a plethora of lines like this: “Ben’s probably not even interested in having sex with me. I’m sure he makes out with like ten girls a week. He’s probably got a telephone book of phone numbers he can call for sex. He probably only made out with me because he was high. Maybe it was even out of pity because he heard I had just broken up with my boyfriend.” But you would have to work on that American accent…

I must say, there was a lot of chaos surrounding the Sex, Life, & Hannah Book Club meetings in San Francisco. First we were going to have ONE meeting, then two, and then briefly it ballooned to three; at which point I stopped updating the blog post and just decided to roll with it. I rolled with it so much I didn’t even know I was going until the morning of last Thursday. Talk about spontaneity–which I both love and fear.
I understand why there is a hesitation to commit to anything considering the world we live in. We are bombarded by news, status updates, and event invites through radio, TV, our computers, and phones. It’s effing overwhelming and oftentimes easier to just stay home and do nothing at all. Especially since so many of us feel over-worked, under-paid, and frustrated by the lack of authenticity. Couple all that with a book series you’ve never heard of (yet) and it doesn’t matter how much free food and wine is promised…so I COMPLETELY understand.
However difficult it seemed to get a group of girls together to talk about men, sex, and relationships and live vicariously through Hannah for a few hours, Friday night really did turn out awesome…
