Young Hollywood Awards



Hey World,

What up YOUNG HOLLYWOOD! Life is mostly good...just like my first Second City show! (I actually titled the first show that I produced at Second City: Life is Mostly Good.)

Anyway, last Thursday night I attended the Young Hollywood Awards. It was a wonderful experience. I met and saw many great people like: Ben Stiller, Mario Lopez, Jennie Garth, Peter Facinelli, and many more. Justin Bieber won a well-deserved award and he is adorable.

What else? I'm really excited about life right now. I have A LOT going on and I'm trying to take one day at a time and not get too overwhelmed because my life is changing so quickly.

I thank God that I said NO to Playboy and YES to Disney =]

I am really thankful for my Mom. She constantly listens and encourages me. I am a lucky girl.

I have a few great friends that I would like mention. I am incredibly fortunate to have such good people in my life in LA.

Thank you:

Alexi Torres, for always being at my side and being my best buddy, my other half, Congrats on your new Tom Hanks movie "Larry Crowne" I love you. You're a rising star.

Lauren Nurn, you're my first friend in LA, from high school & I love you! Congrats on your upcoming wedding, I am so happy for you & Justin =]

Lindsay Beltrame, my friend since third grade private Catholic school, a true friend & I am so lucky to have you always here for me, every day, you are like family

Thank your favorite people in your world because if you are lucky enough to have people who genuinely care about you, let them know that you appreciate it. Also, it's not just about saying it, it's about showing it.

Love,
Lexi

Angel For You


Hey World,

I opened my show at House of Blues with "Angel For You." I wrote this song as I was going through a transition into a new band. It's about my first love. The love story is sad because he came back to see me at my dad's condo at 5 AM but we never re-connected that night...

Matt Linsky wrote the melody. It's very "Dave Matthews," as it repeats itself in both verses. I wrote the lyrics.

Here are the lyrics as I performed it at HOB:

"Let me be your Angel, let me take away your pain.
5 AM is not too late to see your face.

I would change everything
I would give you anything
I would change anything
Just to take you back
(Repeat)

Let me be your angel, let me take away your pain.
I'm pouring myself another drink.
Sorry, now, please I don't want to think.

I would change everything
I would give you anything
I would change anything
Just to take you back

Let me be your angel, let take away your pain...
Let me be your angel, let me take away your pain...
Let me be your angel.
"

Love,
Lexi
