Ho Ho Ho!

Hey World,

I Love the holidays! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I've been enjoying my family in Chicago. It's so nice to be back and finally get a chance to relax!



My brother and I have been chilling, watching movies, working out with our trainers and going out together.



Jimmy is an amazing chef. On Christmas Eve, he made lobster tail and steak, veggies, and it was all delicious.



I want him to teach me how to cook! Lol. Jimmy lives in New York and it's so cool that we're both back for some quality family time. :-)


Last week, I went on a date with this cool guy I know from U of I. We saw Peter Pan at Lookingglass Theatre. It was the best play I've seen this year! Lookingglass is one of my favorite theatres. It was super intimate especially since we were in the front row/center section.

Chicago is a really great city. I got a chance to see my best girl friend Jamie and of course, Jason Kaplan! Jay and I have been spending time together and with my brother almost every day.

I'm looking forward to 2011, the best year of my life.

Love,
Lexi

I'm in the school play!

Loyola Marymount University, my beautiful school...the view at night! :-)



Hey World,

I'm currently in my last week of rehearsal of "Stages of AIDS" at LMU. I can't believe I am graduating college. It is so crazy. I'm thankful for the experiences I've had at the best school in the world, LMU. Also, how cool is it that I get to be in the school play my last semester of school!?

It's fun sometimes to enjoy being a part of an ensemble piece and learn about yourself and the other players. I'm glad that I decided to be a part of this philanthropic endeavor.

Anyway, life has been pretty crazy since the semester is coming to a close. My tv show has been going well...knocked out three more episodes and finalized season one. My classes are going well. I have to say, I love my acting class because we focus on the creative process.

Other than that, it was nice to see my family in Chicago over Thanksgiving. Plus, I had three photo shoots and one great film shoot in Chicago.

Okay so Stages of AIDS at Loyola Marymount is this weekend! 1LMU Drive: Saturday 2pm and 8pm and Sunday 2pm

Love,
Lexi

Best Film Noir Award for PURITY in Beverly Hills



Hey World,

Last night was SO cool! I was shaking when I received my 2nd Award this year! WOW!! I am really thankful for this award for Best Film Noir. PURITY was such an incredibly rewarding experience and I'm blessed to have achieved success through a genre and subject matter that I am passionate about.

After the ceremony, I was insistent upon hitting my new secret spot. I love the ambiance there. Garrett and I talked about life and pretty much everything else. It was really nice.

Enjoy the pics!


Garrett is from my hometown, Hinsdale...he came in for the Awards Ceremony :-)



Love,
Lexi

I Am Reaching My Main Goal!


Hey World,

I've been SUPER busy!! Working hard, as usual...

In just a few weeks I fly to Chicago to shoot the feature film Diary of a Virgin with Brandon Galatz and Garrett Schude. I'm so excited.

Afterward, I return to Los Angeles to work on a zombie film that is neo-noir. It's so exciting because both Diary of a Virgin and the untitled zombie film are film noir!

My goal for the end of 2010:

I want to be in the top 10,000 actors in LA.
(Over the past few months I have been moving up and down in the 20,000-30,000 range and I want to at least be in the solid top 10 by the end of 2010).

My main goal is to: completely focus on acting and working out. Aside from my philanthropic endeavors for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and AIDS research, I really want to focus my energy on just acting and working out.

I am passionate about two things: ACTING & WORKING OUT.....

In the meantime, my Radio/TV show, "Late Nights with Lexi" has been going very well.

I'm currently in rehearsal for Stages of AIDS at Loyola Marymount. Our show goes up in December. All proceeds go to three different AIDS organizations. Hellyeah for philanthropic endeavors in theatre.

Tonight I am receiving an award for Purity - BEST FILM NOIR in Beverly Hills.
:-)

Love,
Lexi

BOOBIES!! RACK. Chest. We're talking about boobs tonight!
Kimberly Cayce, Founder & CEO, KALYX Technologies, Inc. is my special guest on LATE NIGHTS with LEXI!!! Get excited for BOOBS ♥ !!

Favorite Fitness Tip: Get moving! Sir Isaac Newton really knew his stuff – “Bodies in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.” Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to find the time and motivation to get going. It doesn’t matter what type of activity you enjoy; every little bit helps! Try new things, especially if it’s something that frightens you; every time I contemplate trying a new thing and hear my inner voice saying, “Oh, I could never do that!” I know I met my latest challenge. Be willing to take risks, be brave enough to fall down, fear not looking foolish, and have the courage to be true to yourself. No matter what you do, know that KALYX is here to support you in your endeavors!

Favorite Indulgence: Spending time with family and friends, Watching the sun set over the Santa Monica Mountains, Vinnie Marino’s classes at Yoga Works, Wearing Jeans & Flip-Flops to the Office, Red Wine, Dark Chocolate, Fish Tacos, Fresh Flowers, Listening to Kid Rock, Kings of Leon and Fergie, Jewelry from Platino on Montana, Shoes…Jimmy Choo, Louboutin, Havaianas, Newton; and, of course, my black KALYX Uplift Sports Bra!

Inspiration: My mother, Carol…she is the strongest and most beautiful KALYX Woman I know. My family and friends: their encouragement, love and support keep me going day after day. My team: their creativity, dedication, energy, enthusiasm and passion continue to amaze me. My heroes: the brave women who have fought the good fight over the years, demonstrating courage and commitment in the face of great adversity, insurmountable challenges and shameful discrimination; women who through their efforts have broken down barriers, opened new doors, created opportunities and paved the way for so many female athletes and women in business. The debt of gratitude owed to these brave souls can only be repaid through our ongoing efforts to inspire and support one another, and, through our willingness to always be the change we want to see in the world...

I love KALYX!!
