Four For Friday - Dealing To Herself
This actress was probably known by most of you several years ago. She has dropped further down the list since her long running network show ended. Since then, it has mostly been misses for her career. Yes, she has a recurring on a show, but the budget is so small, she is not making enough to even cover a quarter of her monthly expenses. Long identified in this space as a yachter, that hasn't changed, but it still wasn't enough money to keep her in the lifestyle she wanted. She is getting a little older so the guys interested in her are generally in their 60's even though she is in her early 30's. Her rate has taken a nosedive. Most of those guys want someone to marry, but then she will be forced to give up acting because a lot of these men don't live anywhere close to LA or NYC. . Plus, they want to show off their trophy and not have her work.
Anyway, our actress has long had a coke problem which has only managed to make her money problems worse. So, what to do. Well, our actress has turned to dealing coke to people she meets each day. Whether she is doing a photo shoot or hitting a red carpet or meeting a customer, she is always selling. The thing is, she sells her product for double or triple what you would normally pay on the street. One reason is she knows the people she is dealing to can afford it and want convenience. The other is because she is such a heavy user herself that to make up for shortfall of cash she snorts herself, she has to charge everyone else an inflated price.
She is kind of known for being the fashion show dealer of choice. If there is a show somewhere in the country with models that can pay, she will be there dealing her wares. Her problem is then the models will invite her to party with them and she will end up using a lot of her own stash and then have to make up the difference. With as much as she sells, at the price point she sells it, she should be making two to three times more than she ever made at her acting peak, but that habit of hers just doesn't let her do more than make enough money to barely cover her bills.

Whoever this is... this is just sad. I hope she can get help.
ReplyDeleteNaya Rivera?
ReplyDeleteMinka Kelly?
ReplyDeleteMischa Barton
ReplyDeleteNot Minka, late 30s.
ReplyDeleteShit, if Anna Kendrick can yacht, it can be anyone.
ReplyDeleteMelissa McCarthy?
This is incredibly sad to read, whoever it is. When you think about Hollywood- this is nothing new and will just continue . . . same problem, different actor
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's sad.
ReplyDeleteUseless junky helping other useless junkies.
This is how teams are built.
Tara Reid? I'm thinking Sharknado for the recurring show.
ReplyDeleteHehhhehhe Amber Tamblyn is 35 we all knew her here on this board and still waiting for our book too. Does she yacht?
ReplyDeleteKatrina Bowden/30 Rock. Does she yacht.
ReplyDeleteJessica Szohr
ReplyDeleteShe's supposed to be in her early 30s...
ReplyDeleteand its network, not almost network
ReplyDeleteEarly 30's and can only get guys in their 60's...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lifestyle choice. It's never too late to go back to school and get an accounting degree. At least then you're only massaging the numbers...
Definitely Naya Rivera. She’s recurring on Step Up High water which airs on youtube.
ReplyDelete+1 Naya, she is always at the big shows at fashion week and recently divorced
ReplyDeleteToo lazy to diet and exercise, so coke it is.
ReplyDeleteNaya Rivera could fit, but I don't know if I'm feeling it. Maybe it's the kid, the husband for a time, the arrest, or the rest of her family. Doesn't seem like a coke fiend/dealer/yachter.
ReplyDeleteIf it's Naya Rivera, then it is very sad, considering she has a little kid.
ReplyDeleteNaya was known as the nastiest person on glee, horrible attitude, worse than Lea so that's saying something. Her reputation along with wanna be kardashian surgery really screwed her career, so haha if this is her .
ReplyDeleteIt may be Mischa, though. She's on that new re-boot of the hills but that's not out yet.
ReplyDeleteI think it's Naya.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was Mischa at first, but she was killed off her show in like the second or third season, so she didn't have a long run. And like m.w. said, The Hills hasn't aired yet. I also doubt she's got the appeal to cater to a fashion show crowd anymore either. I'm pretty sure it was widely reported that all Mischa's celeb friends turned their backs on her after she overdosed at Nicole Richie's party. If early 2000s Nicole Richie thought you were too strung out to party with, eeeeesh!
I must have only had shit coke because after a couple days my nose would be all jammed up or swollen or not taking more cocaine, thankyouverymuch.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine doing so much that I'm running out my own supply - that would be a lot of baggies with each baggie at 50/ea if one baggie last three hours maybe you have six bags for 18 hours plus a party bag that's 350/day times seven = 2450 x 4 weeks = $9800 monthly cocaine bill.
Roughly ten grand a month.
I'd say that's a low to fair estimate for an active daily user who parties.
Brayson? Sandy? Trish? Thoughts?
Snorted aloe once to try to sooth nose.
ReplyDelete0/10 - would not repeat. Strongly discouraged and not soothing at all.
Only did coke one time and tried to walk thru the LINCOLN TUNNEL to get home to Brooklyn, Hunter. So yeah I got picked up by the transit cops and dropped at the A train where I hopped the turnstile because that's why I was walking thru the tunnel, my ass was broke. So, no expert here.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Naya guess...
ReplyDeleteDon't consume your supply and profits...lemonade stand 101
@hunter, I don't know, I knew a guy who lost a fortune twice because of coke/crack, he definitely spent more than $9800 a month, where there's a will there's a way. Then again who knows how much goes to the hanger-ons.
ReplyDeleteAmber Tamblyn has published at least one book so far. I know of a book of poetry.
ReplyDelete@plot,Amber Tamblyn's book of poetry is legend here. Also,she doesn't fit the blind,this actress is single,wants to stay in the limelight,is a regular at fashion shows. Naya fits best so far, she doesn't make the money she used to and is on a you tube show,about as low as acting gets these days.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it legendary? She seems rather boring, no offense to her
DeleteIt's a long story in the history of this blog,too much to get into.
DeleteLol, great story Sandy, transit cops seem friendly enough.
ReplyDeleteI simply cannot understand how TF people blow through SO MUCH COCAINE but it seems a real wallet vampire. Myself I can have a bit of an alcohol issue but then I pass out so it has it's own max capacity.
plot, good to hear from you again.
ReplyDeleteI've tried coke twice and to my chagrin, felt nothing.
Michelle Trachtenberg
ReplyDeleteDianna Agron
ReplyDeleteRivera.
ReplyDeleteMy allergies/sinuses are so awful, coke is a no go.
Stick to Adderall if you need a diet aide or pick me up.
I nearly overdosed when I tried it. I was told to only do a little and ended up doing three grams, which I thought was a little. My heart was going to explode and I hated it. Back then it was like the 80's in LA where everyone was cracked out. I know so many people that where strung out and lost everything, so I didn't see how it was worth it.
