You got the wrong girls!!

So last night went to the Neyo party. If I'm honest it wasn't that great. The best part was probably stealing Oreo cookies from Neyo's dressing room. And I'm not lying. So we got there around 11...crowd was already warming up and once masterstepz arrived the music was good so yeah there was a good vibe and everyone was getting down. But all I was really interested in was seeing Neyo perform. Well actually I wanted to see his dancers cos at his gigs he always has good performers. Obviously I had my all access wrist band but even that didn't prove to be much fun; the vip lounge and dressing room area was dead; the lounge more or less consisted of me, my girl Carmen, Danielle Lloyd and a friend, two randoms and a couple of photogs and promoters...there wasn't much going on in there so after claiming one of the dressing rooms and dumping our stuff in there we went back on the dance floor.

Then as the room started to get quite full we moved onto the stage to have our own free space to party. Neyo came. He sang one song. He went back to his table on the stage and surrounded himself with groupies.

Now to all the girls that were surrounding him; I am not calling you a groupie; you are what you are and to the girls that I knew and just wanted pictures etc it's all love. But you know who I am talking about.

Why are girls such let-downs these days? Are you really willing to sleep with someone as long as they are famous? Do you think it's a good look? Is that how you plan to get somewhere in life? Do you think you were the first girl for him?....that day?

I'm not here to judge, but I think girls should conduct themselves a little better. That's all.

Anyway, Neyo has never really interested me that much so when he said wait 2 minutes for a pic I was gone and straight back to dancing away.

Girls were throwing themselves over him and it wasn't really my style so I left the stage and went to meet a couple of friends that had just arrived.

My girl was still on stage, on the other side of the stage to where Neyo was sitting, oblivious to what was going on (as usual) and in her own little world dancing hard as she always is. So after about 45 minutes I came back to the stage to find her.

Couldn't see her anyway.

Asked Masterstepz "Where's my friend?"

Dunno

Asked my boy Gianno "Where's my friend?"

"Oh, that curly- haired mad girl? She got asked to leave the stage"

What??!!

Why on earth would she get asked to leave the stage? She's with me?? Lol!

So I went and asked security if it was true, and they were like "Oh, your curly haired mad friend?" (Yeah, they described her exactly the same way my friend did. "She got asked to leave because she was annoying Neyo"

Now something didn't make sense to me, because I know that she did not care about Neyo.

So I told them exactly that. And do you know what they said? "That's exactly why. He only wants groupies"

???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was like ARE YOU SERIOUS.

Well I went back on stage and purposely walked past Neyo who made this stupid noise like daaaaaaaaayyyymm and tried to holla, and I gave him the DIRTIEST look ever and said "wrong girl baby"

Haha! Revenge for my girl! I should have thrown one of his bottles of champagne at him!

I went searching for my girl and found her in our dressing room lol, the one we had claimed when we first arrived, charging her phone. I was cracking up. She didn't give a damn, cussed a bit but we were soon back on the dance floor laughing at the losers that will happily degrade themselves to be near a famous guy.

My girl was like, what did he want me to do, jump on him? Pleeeaaassse.

So the honest truth is the highlight for me was that and the Oreo cookies

I've got some pics but I'm not gonna post them all up now, but here's a few. And thank goodness for Raeqwon; noone need bother to take a camera out with them these days with Raeqwon about.

About to go on stage and sing the one tune that he bothered to sing

Masterstepz playing to an excited (for nothing) crowd


Some chick actually threw her knickers on stage. I think that's the type of girls he wanted at his table with him



Danielle looks good as a brunette; with Raeqwon



With my boy Gianno who I hadn't seen in ages





All the pics of me and my girl are on her camera and I'm not with her now, so I'll upload them later.

Oh I got some of the pics of me and my friend at the Thriller Premier but I'll post them up another day too


Anyway before the Neyo party I had an appointment at the salon that sponsors my hair; Adee Phelan. Fantastic hairdressers, won loads of awards and have done loads of celebrities hair including Solange, David Beckham, Sean Paul, Erykah Badu, Thandie Newton to name a few. I wanted to get rid of my highlights so Lorraine told me to come in and within a few hours I had a gloriously glossy mane ;) www.AdeePhelan.com
Lorraine will be talking a bit about what she does with my hair and other celebs she has worked with on my website soon and all my Member's will be able to get a discount at the salon, so I'll let you know when to check that out. She's off to Dubai today for a well earned break.

Day before I had a shoot and a few interviews including a filmed interview for Streetz Inc. Not sure whether I'll post that up; it will def go on my Members Site but I may put a few snippets up on here or on the main website.

The shoot went well despite me being pissed about a few work-related discrepancies and the pics look hot. I met another model Sashia there who also provided some gorgeous pieces as she is a stylist. She was lovely and I just found this pic of us on her page



Anyway I shouldn't even be here writing a blog when I have 101 other things to do and I'm actually falling behind on a few things. So you can catch up with me later. I am shooting again tomorrow so really I should get to work and try to be in bed at a decent time for once

Speak soon

Love ya

Non-Stop Work!

Ok so it's 9:45 but I've been up since 7; I've already been out and just got back!

I'm feeling tired but excited; not long to go now until my event and a good friend just cheerd me up with a little surpise that will really make the night for me if it pulls through, so that put a smile on my face.

I'm now waiting for a flipping delivery; I am shooting a cover for a magazine today but me being a little Diva wasn't happy with only having the wardrobe supplied by the mag; so Urban Sweethearts have sent me some bits from Baby Phat and Karen Millen just incase I want more of a selection.... I didn't give them much time considering I decided on Sunday and the first chance they could post was obviously yesterday morning, but hopefully the goods will turn up soon and then I will make my way to the shoot! I was kinda supposed to be there at 10am, and girls I'm not encouraging turning up to shoots at any time you like, but they have been warned that I may be, ahem, a few hours late as I am waiting for delivery and have a couple of other things to do so it's ok. I don't want a reputation as a Diva! That is not a good look.

Yesterday I had a fitting with Georgie W Couture and I must say....wow! I was already impressed by a few pieces on the website but the gems she pulled out last night! I was more than happy and now have my two outfits for my event; now that is Diva behavior that is allowed; I tend to change at least once or twice at events. You have to! lol. I'm not going to spoil the surprise and tell you what I am wearing but lets just say I will look hot ;)

Thanks Georgie! http://www.Georgiewcouture.com

But what I am wearing is not up on the website so soooorreeee

I then took my Pa to Wagamama in Oxford St as we were both soooo hungry and felt like we had worked really hard trying on loads of fabulous dresses. I was in one of my weird crazy moods (the type of moods that you really need to capture on camera) and my Pa was gutted she didn't bring a cam because having footage like that would be a good bribing tool! But I wouldn't have minded if she filmed anyway; it just would have gone up on my Member's Only site so only they can see my mental side!

Anyway we had a good old laugh and surprisingly managed to stuff our faces (regretting it now as always)

The guestlist for the 1st is looking crazy! Sooo excited! Sorry I will try to stop banging on about it

Gonna love ya but leave ya

Ppffffttttt

Don't you hate people that have to sleep with the tv on?

Woke up in a FOUL mood

Anyway, off to get my eyebrows done. Great

So tired.....

I am shattered. There's so much to be done that my head is spinning! Now it feels like there isn't enough time and I'm starting to panic! Oh sorry, I'm talking about my website launch next week; I have less than 7 days to organise everything and there is still so much to do! And it's hard because it's not like I'm dedicating my time to the event; I've got loads of shoots that take up a lot of my time, plus 101 other things but I know it will all fall into place so it's all good!

I was supposed to have a meeting with PR yesterday but found myself throwing up! After some rest I woke up hungry, so me and a close friend went to a chinese in Edgware. I'm not usually a fan of chinese but it was a really nice night, plus it had a buffet as well as an ordering menu so that suited me! After about 3 plates we headed home (well actually we more or less had no choice but to leave as it was midnight by then and we were the only customers left!) And then back at the house we watched Carlito's way; I've only seen the end before, which is a bit silly, but luckily I'd forgotten how it ended and was still so shocked and upset when Carlito died! I almost cried!

Now I'm responding to about 1000 emails again which is like the story of my life. I was meant to go out with my girls but had to cancel as too tired and it doesn't make sense for me to drain what's left of my energy; I've got a fitting tomorrow with Georgie W Couture and then I'm supposed to be doing an interview with Akon. I was supposed to do it today but like I said I just feel drained and there are other things that need doing. So if I find the time (and the energy) to do the interview I'll go down with the film crew tomorrow and get some footage done. It wouldn't be finished until late though and I have a shoot Tuesday morning; if I was sensible I would be in bed by 10pm Monday night but when has that ever happened!

Anyway let me get back to these emails; I'll probably end up writing another little blog soon; just to moan about how tired I am or something lol

Porsh xx

Hey my lovelies. Hope you are well. I am ashamed to say that I am in bed. I have been up from early and yes I have showered but I am now back in bed with the laptop dreading the thought of having to step out into that cold! Today all I am doing is flat hunting, looking for a couple of make up artists and going through emails; I don't have a meeting until 8.30 this evening so I will definitely not be leaving the house before that! My gorgeous godson is sleeping next to me; though he has been a little cheeky today he always gets away with it because he is just too cute!

Ok so the last few days I've just been shooting, with friends, meetings etc. The other day I did a shoot with the extremely talented Squiz Hamilton; the shoot was crazy!! I was covered from head to toe in silver body paint! The body painter Amanda is so talented; she showed me some examples of her work and I am talking some serious stuff here! She will soon be working on film-sets. Anyway I didn't want to look like I had just been eaten alive so we kept it slightly more simple and completely covered me in silver. When the film crew turned up they were shocked to see me like that! But I wanted to do something different; so many people are quick to call themselves models but apart from obviously having to have some good assignments under your belt you need to also do more than just try to look pretty or just stand there to call yourself a model! I wanted more of a range when it came to my work.

I almost didn't even go; had an awful night the night before, didn't sleep and woke up with one FAT eye (sometimes when I'm really really stressed or upset my eye swells up; don't ask me why!) So I was in a real bad mood and as I knew the shoot was going to be quite demanding and require a lot of creativity on my part I felt like I didn't have it in me and perhaps shouldn't go. But after not long I got my act together; you can't not turn up to a shoot; how unprofessional! So we drove all the way to Dorking ( the stylists drove down from Birmingham so I'm not complaining)

Anyway the shots look hot, even before editing! Some are a bit scary lol, but I guess that's all part of modelling. Thanks Squiz! And thanks to Amanda and Rachel for putting it all together.

Can you believe the silver took 3 days and 8 washes to come off! I swear!

The next day it was my best friends birthday; about 15 of us went out to eat then to a lovely little bar. It was so Sex In The City lol. Was a really nice night.

Next day it was the Thriller Live Premiere; I almost didn't go but after my day was over I found myself wih my girl in Portobello Road with a spare evening, plus she loves Michael Jackson and I had been invited by the guy who created the whole concept so I thought why not, let me go and support. It was down the road in Leicester Square. I wasn't really sure what to expect but I did think it would be more like a story of his life but it turned out to be more like a tribute. The dancing was great. Saw loads of people I knew and a few friendly faces o that was cool. The after party was in Cafe De Paris and that was even better! Latoya had just been thrown out of the BB house and came down to hang with her brother, Tito, who was already there as he came to watch the show.

Latoya is so lovely and sweet! When she first came to the table she caught my eye, smiled and waved at me! Now I'm really really not the type to get star struck, you can ask any of my friends who can't believe how calm I stay when I tell them all the people I've met, to me humans are humans lol, but this is the Jacksons we're talking about. And if I am honest I find them a little strange, slightly fascinating even. Anyway Latoya was a sweetie even though she didn't always seem to be aware of what was going on around her. My pics with her came out terrible but I might post a few up later when I get them.

Oh my goodness the mini Michaels were sooooo cute! I'll post up some pics of them too later; yeah cool I'm being lazy but I really can't be bothered to do it right now as I've just realised how hungry I am! Lol. When I'm hungry I can't function. Anyone who works or who has worked with me knows this; always make sure there is a contant supply of food. Conveniently most of my meetings are in restaurants ;)

So....yep the Premier was great, did some good networking and met so many talented people, so glad I got invited!

Next day, after eating with a friend I had a meeting about a gig I may be doing at the o2 arena, then at about 1.30am I decided to pass through Penthouse. Was a good night actually. Not really sure why I went but I felt like dancing a bit so went there dressed down in my flats and danced the night away! lol

Yesterday I was on the road all day working and then came to see someone who I hadn't seen for 4 whole days and missed like crazy lol. Pathetic

Anyway let me go and feed my hungry belly; everytime I say that I feel guilty as I KEEP on telling myself that every morning when I wake up I'm gonna work out hard. I am shooting a cover on Tuesday so between now and then I need to be hitting that gym!

Have a lovely weekend ;)

TUNES!!!!

Should be working but instead I'm you-tubing.


No group compares to Destiny's Child. DON'T CARE what anyone says. And what female singer compares to Beyonce? She really has the whole package. If I was a jealous person I'd hate her. Ok. I do ;) But this tune is so touching and I'm sure it helped a lot of females who were in a similar situation to find the strength and courage to get away from it. Love you DC! Oh and I love the gospel singers at the end and Michelle really goes for it. Make sure you listen to it to the end!




Love this tune, love this girls voice. So husky and unique. Really feeling the lyrics as well. Haven't listened to this tune for ages so played it about 20 times today. I'm gonna post up me singing it for a laugh. Or maybe not. Ok that's Member's Only content



Now I'm not saying I'd ever do this to my best friend; if my girl's man ever tried it with me he'd get knocked out! But still this is a tune and you know it



To my girls xx



Hmmmm. Not even gonna say anything about this next one. Just know that this is MY tune



Dedicated to my one and only



RIP. Most beautiful woman, most beautiful voice in the world. Her voice is so soft it's crazy.



This song reminds me of school! I love it so much. And Mya is so beautiful. Plus her voice really is unique and I believe that is so important as a singer. People need to know who it is the moment they hear the voice. And I prefer hearing songs live



Anyway that's enough for now. Back to work. Plus I've gotta go and view a flat.

Ciao xx

What a surprise!!

I got a lovely surprise just before 9 this morning....So lets just say I will be lazying around today...Yes me! Lazying around, not doing much. Well actually I stink because I just made fish. And omelette. And sausages....and for once it wasn't me stuffing my face. But apart from a bit of cooking I am chilling. My friend came back from holiday and turned up out of the blue and I didn't have a clue! And I love surprises; noone really bothers to surprise me these days :(

So that was nice

Anyway, gotta go

Portia Freno a housewife??

For the past week, although I have been working; meetings, ideas, organising etc, I've still been in the house a lot. And the scary thing is I've absolutely loved it! I've been helping out, cleaning, looking after my Godson, cooking, taking early morning jogs (ok that was just the once) but I have really been playing "housewife". As in staying in and looking after the house, the kids lol. It's been really nice though; I've been surrounded by people I love and who love me and there is never a dull moment in this house! Hold on, just got to check the oven..... K I'm back. I'm making a macaroni cheese due to popular demand. I used to make them all the time, though usually with chicken, veg, rice etc, but today I just made a macaroni as all the kids were complaining saying I haven't made one for ages. Well sorreee lol.

Here's a pic of my Godson and I; I took this last night and yes I look rough but it's not about me ok? So ignore me.



Ok I left for a while but I'm back now. Just stuffed my face despite telling myself that I wouldn't eat any myself as I want to get in shape for my launch party but oh well. It's time I faced the truth; I will always have a big appetite and I will never be able to diet. My Godsons older brother was begging me to put a pic of him up on my blog so here it is. With the macaroni



And here's cutie pie who is also sooooo greedy, looking delighted at the sight of food and ready to attack with his, ahem, knife



Seriously, he eats as much as me. I am sure if I had let him he would have finished the whole thing. Like I would



So, am I ready to say goodbye to the inustry, my career, parties, planning, meetings, shows, events, shoots, auditions, stress etc?

NO WAY

What I do know, is I play mother/housewife very well and I can't wait until that day comes. Obviously I am nowhere near ready; I have to reach the height of my career until I start a family, and I want to be able to give my family my all and not have to worry about anything like money or work. I'm not being naive; I know it can't always be like that for everyone, but I am going to make sure it is for me! I admire all the hardworking mothers out there, although it is expected to get on with it and be a mother, I've seen examples of mothers slacking so I have a lot of respect for those who do a good job.

Anyway, anyone hearing me talk like I am broody or something would slap me! Especially anyone in my team; they'd be like "Portia are you mad?".

I guess that's what I'm working for; to be able to have a big family home, holidays, no worries. To be able to look after my whole family; my mother, my brothers and sisters. Money does not solve everything but what it does do is give you a whole load of stress free opportunities!

So, I've set up a plan. I guess you could call it a life plan. Some of you might think I'm a weirdo, but I am sure many of you have prob already done that yourselves. It makes sense. I'm not going to tell you my life plan though lol, cos it includes all of my business ventures plus you might try to copy it hahaha.

No but seriously, you probably would. It's a pretty good plan ;)

I didn't wish any of you guys a Happy New Year did I? Sorry! Well I kinda did in my Xmas post but not on New Years day...I didn't do much. I was supposed to go to church with everyone; I think they went to Wembley Stadium and apparently it was amazing...I'm really quite annoyed with myself for deciding not to go, but I had told my best friend I would chill at hers and we would just eat and get merry; I didn't want to rave or be out with randoms on New Years as I don't really feel that that is what t is all about....You can go to a club with your friends any day but at the start of a new year you should be reflecting, chilling; that's what I think anyway. So I asked my best friend to come down to the house and come to church with everyone but she was complaining about how far it was!! Considering she lives in St Albans and I was in North London I thought that was a bit of a cheek! lol. So I went down to hers and we just relaxed; ate too much chocolate and chilled watching tv and that. Nothing to shout about, sorry guys. What were you expecting? Pictures of me out on the town, club hopping my way through about 6 events? Yeah ok, I did consider it lol. But I came to my senses ;) Had a meeting with my PR agent the other day and there will be less partying for me anyway!



What are you doing down there?


This year is going to be crazy. Watch this space ;)
