Welcome to Hollywood.

There are a lot of articles and videos out there this week on the Blvd crackdown. I don’t even know what to say about this except it makes me livid. What’s wrong with simply requiring a permit? But no, the LAPD decided to just go and arrest people for standing on Hollywood Blvd in costume.
I know there are some characters who are pushy. I know that. But the regulars are very polite. It seems to me that the tourists are the ones that are not playing by the rules though. I’ve kept in touch with some characters, after Batgirl and I quit the Blvd, and it seemed to me like people were just not tipping anymore. We didn’t make much. Plenty of people decided to pose for photos and then not give us anything. Nothing we could do about it, but it sure doesn’t feel good giving a service and not being appreciated. You tip your waiter, don’t you? People need a little lesson in tipping. We’re not in France. Well, I am, but YOU aren’t! What is wrong with America…?
So, sorry tourists, you won’t be getting a warm welcome to Hollywood from any of your favourite superheroes anymore, unless you complain a lot to somebody high up. Oh, funny thing is… no one is taking responsibility for this decision, either. Nobody knows where the order came from….
NBC Not Even Batman Gets a Pass
its all sad really =(
It started with the mayor making a public announcement that he would ”get rid of the thieves on Hollywood Blvd.” Hard to believe your constitutional rights can be violated so easily.
Hello there, how are you? I have only one question … who are you? :-P, and I mean it in the good sense :-), I came across the videos on youtube of your impersonation of cat woman and I just felt very curious about the people who disguised themselves as this characters in HB. I can not help but feeling curiosity, I mean, who are they?, What is your name?, what do you do besides this?, Who are the people behind the mask? sort of speak ….. I guess this migth sound weird at this point, so please forgive me, sorry…. In short, are you an actress?, which other work have you performed? how did you come to HB? … mmm, I don’t know, what’s your favorite music?!?!? lol, well I don’t really know if you will read this at some point but, I wish you the best of lucks in whatever you are doing now and finally, it’s a shame that you can not longer be in HB, seemed like a pretty fun job, difficult, but interesting in it’s own way. Well, I hope you’re doing just fine, see you soon and good luck. ( I guess it wasn’t just one question after all 😛 ) Bye.

Well, I’ll answer for myself – I’m an actress (though I rarely get paid for that) and I work online. I moved to France this past year, and no, I didn’t bring the costume. 🙂 This is me: http://www.kendalbrenneman.com So how did you come across our videos? Thanks for commenting! 😀
Hello,congratulations on being a producer!! i guees now you are the one in charge :), good luck. About the videos, well,long story short, i was zapping music videos on youtube while playing guitar and then I see this funny title “the adventures of catwoman” or something like that and i thought “mmm?, lets see what’s that” and you know the rest.
Again, good luck with your project, i’m looking forward to watch it.
PS:I loved the part about special skills on your site.
H.
yeah, being in charge is cool if you have an idea and the money. 🙂 Two of the hardest things to come up with, it seems. But it was a good experience. I’d do it again. Maybe not on such a deadline. lol.
oh dear, what did I put under special skills… 😛
Actually, there’s pretty cool stuff there, i mean, producer/writer/actress and…a certified captain of a boat…0_0!!awesome…it was just the word “skills”…it make me imagine things like “ninja and jungle survival training” :-P, LOL.
I wonder if I remember how to sail. :-/ It’s been ages. So many things I learned or started to learn or want to learn… but never use. I wish ninja and jungle survival training were on there. 😀
