And the Gold Medal for Hugging Goes To…

The U.S. Olympic women’s gymnastics team! According to The Wall Street Journal, during their first-place competition, our girls shared 55 individual hugs with teammates and coaches and five group hugs—more than any other team. They also freely hugged competitors who were feeling crestfallen after their performances, and those who had done well. Most of us can’t even walk on a …

One to Go!

We only have one scene left to film for my music video. It’s romantic, with just Rob and me. Only problem…Rob has to go out of town. His brother, who looks incredibly like him, is willing to stand in, but we’ll wait for the real McCoy to return:) I’ve been so grateful to have fantastic cast and crew members who …

Have You Been Tossed Onto a Guy’s Shoulder?

Now I can say I have, thanks to my music video! I greatly appreciate all of you who donated your time to be extras and dance in it. Everyone looked fantastic! And huge thanks to Mr. Sun for letting us use his ballroom at China Harbor to film this scene.  

Fall Fashions

In this video, I show you my favorite fall trends before they even hit most stores!

Making a Music Video Is Never Dull!

It seems like something funny always happens when we’re filming. We came straight from other obligations to this venue. Katie works in finance. She didn’t think it would be appropriate to wear her performance makeup to the office that day, so on the way to the filming, she pulled over on a side street to do her makeup in the …

Pillow Talk

Girls have been sending me their dating stories, ranging from the charming to the hilarious, and asking questions. Here’s one… I love reading them!

Time for Another YouTube Video!

I just filmed my first one about Pillow Talk. For girls, it has a fun dating story and tips. For guys, it has my cute girlfriends. I’ll edit it tomorrow and post it soon.

All Film Casts Should Have Bonding Parties!

Holly asked what it’s like working with my music video co-stars. If I had searched the world, I couldn’t have found better ones. We have a ton of fun together. After our last rehearsal, Denise said, “That was productive. We spent half the time chatting and half the time practicing!” Denise brought her camera to our music video practice so …

Revenge of the Nerdettes!

Filming for my music video is officially underway. Here are pictures from the beginning scenes. My girlfriends and I portray insecure nerds landing in Europe. At this point in the storyline, my leading man doesn’t even know I exist─but never fear, revenge is on the way! We find a copy of The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men. It …

My Cosmopolitan Article

Elisa Benson, of Cosmopolitan magazine, and I teamed up with body language expert Janine Driver to reveal sneaky signs that tell you whether your guy is looking for a summer fling or something more. A tipoff that you have a fling-man on your hands is what I call the Law of Hot Tubs. If a guy asks you to go …

This book was a fast and easy read, but mostly it was insightful and I CANNOT wait to study abroad next semester! I am at …

But I Do

I’ve been inundated with music video mania! The project officially got rolling when I paired up with the fabulous composer, Todd Schwartzman, who opens for the likes of Brad Paisley and David Archuleta. We instantly clicked. I remember my first conversation with him. It went something like this, “I’m Katherine. I’ve heard such wonderful comments about your work and would love …

Doesn’t Every Writer Make a Music Video?!

When people see me hobbling about lately and ask what happened, I explain that dance practice for my upcoming music video has been kicking my butt. Then the stream of questions begins: Are you a professional dancer? No. A singer? No. An actor? Well, I was a fish in my elementary school’s version of The Little Mermaid, if that counts:) …

Travel Makeup Video

Here Duncan Smith, a professional makeup artist, and I show how to look great anywhere on a trip with only eight small products. Duncan gave me a natural look, but you can go more dramatic just by using a deeper-colored travel palette. To film this video, my friend Brett brought in his Canon 5D and 7D so you can clearly …

Every Day Keeps Getting More Interesting!

I just learned that my feet are featured on wikiFeet, the collaborative celebrity-feet website, and people have been rating them. I realized when I became an author that people would critique my writing, but I never imaged they’d critique my feet! For years, I danced ballet in pointe shoes, so my feet got more than their fair share of thrashing:) …
