I’m Laura von Holt, an upwardly mobile theatre maven, pinup and guru. It’s been said that I am my own alter ego. I’m also smart, pretty, and marginally famous.
These are tales of romance, cocktails, family, friends, internet domination and occasionally being recognized on the street.  If you’re reading this, you’re probably obsessed with me, and that’s ok.I’d like everyone to keep in mind that fame may give you power, but it won’t turn on your electric fence.

Also, it’s like I wrote in my play:
“The people you love are always famous.”
My real family is rad. My fake family is just as cool. Write me a love letter. 
oh yeah. if you want to see me in a bathing suit go to vonhottie.com (Perv, it’s just a one-piece.)


P.S. I have a family history of breast cancer. I like to use that as an excuse to freak out on this blog.

- The 10 people getting into 1950s cocktail hair, makeup &amp; wardrobe in my apartment in only and hour and a half!&lt;br/&gt;
- The journalist hanging out in my living room, sipping prosecco &amp; jotting down everything everyone said.&lt;br/&gt;
- Running to the bathroom yelling, “I’ve got to wash my nipples!”&lt;br/&gt;
- Putting on the pasties and then triumphantly exclaiming, “Check out my nipple flowers!” They were lacy. I was excited.&lt;br/&gt;
- Opening the door wearing a very little wrap and hot rollers, expecting to see one of my friends but instead seeing the UPS man. Whoops.&lt;br/&gt;
- Getting a case of prosecco delivered to my apartment before everyone arrived.&lt;br/&gt;
 - Opening 3 bottles before the shoot. Opening 6 after.&lt;br/&gt;
- One of my friends saying, “You’re one of 4 people that can coax me out of my self-absorption.”&lt;br/&gt;
- Raiding my fridge for Girl Scout cookies, which got everyone very excited.&lt;br/&gt;
- Handing a hanger full of pearl necklaces for my friend to carry across the street to the photo shoot.&lt;br/&gt;
- Arriving at the location, standing half-naked while my friend stitched pearl necklaces on me.&lt;br/&gt;
- Needing 12 packs of pearl necklaces opened immediately. Screeching, “I need assistance” and having everyone rush over and form this beautiful little sweatshop assembly line. Then apologizing profusely for having yelled.&lt;br/&gt;
-Reminding everyone they were all on “vag patrol.”&lt;br/&gt;
-Waddling over to the couch for the shoot, covering my woo-hoo with a red glitter heart.&lt;br/&gt;
- Liz blowing bubbles in my face.&lt;br/&gt;
-Looking around and realizing I’d convinced 9 people to hang out in cocktail attire while I was naked, and they all seemed to think it was a great idea, too.&lt;br/&gt;
-Looking over at &lt;a href="http://mayumishimosepoe.com" target="_blank"&gt;my wife&lt;/a&gt;, realizing she wasn’t a theater person like the rest but she really pulls through her stage fright when I need her.&lt;br/&gt;
- &lt;a href="http://avportfolio.com" target="_blank"&gt;Amanda&lt;/a&gt; being referred to by the photographer as “Crying Girl On the Left”&lt;br/&gt;
-Kate’s amazing playlist she made in the car on the way to my apartment.&lt;br/&gt;
- The photographer asking me to switch up poses and trying to figure out how to change my look without disrupting the delicately draped pearls. I settled for head angles. The shoulders had to remain stationery.&lt;br/&gt;
-The powder girl had the softest powder brush. I wanted to marry it. I kind of purred every time she powdered me.&lt;br/&gt;
- Walking back across the street to my apartment, wearing only a robe, 15 lbs of pearls and heels, surrounded by my von-tourage. &lt;br/&gt;
- And then, getting everyone drunk in my apartment and making all their Girl Scout cookie dreams come true.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thefamouschronicles.tumblr.com/post/228712358</link><guid>http://thefamouschronicles.tumblr.com/post/228712358</guid><pubDate>Sat, 31 Oct 2009 04:16:07 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>vonhottie:

&lt;p&gt;When I see pictures of the First Family, I start to think, &lt;i&gt;Maybe I will get married and have babies&lt;/i&gt;. But only if my husband is just like Barack Obama, my kids look like Sasha and Malia, and I can hula hoop like Michelle. Otherwise, I’ll stick to my imaginary-cat, crazy-fun single-lady existence in which everything is either pink and/or sparkly and all the good stuff happens after 9pm.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thefamouschronicles.tumblr.com/post/221151657</link><guid>http://thefamouschronicles.tumblr.com/post/221151657</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:27:16 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>This guy dressed as Spiderman was pulling people around...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://2.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krydi0eYk21qz7uc0o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;This guy dressed as Spiderman was pulling people around Greenwich Village in his pedicab and then flipping them over in stunts like this.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“In my era, we had individuality. We did as we pleased. We stayed up late. We dressed the way we wanted. I’d whiz down Sunset Boulevard in my open Kissel (flaming red, of course) with seven red chow dogs to match my hair. Today they’re sensible and end up with better health-but we had more fun.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I invented the best game ever this evening. Since the guy next to me was hooting and hollering at the baseball game on TV, I felt like I had carte blanche to behave however I wanted on my own treadmill.  I call this game the “Treadmill Pageant.” You get on the treadmill, at whatever incline or speed you like, and you put on your iPod, and then you pretend you are in a beauty pageant dance contest. Your standard consistent motion should be a tippy-toe swiveling prance. I call this move “Pageant Pageant Pageant.” Think  of the entrance walks from “Toddlers &amp; Tiaras” and you have it. Hold onto the sides of the treadmill so 1) you don’t eat it and 2) you get kind of a arm/shoulder workout when you dip into lunges.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Songs that worked partcularly well for this are:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Smack That” - everytime you hear “smack that” you jump and chassé, à la West Side Story&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Upside Down” - walking lunges to the disco beat, and do a forward hustle during the verses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Since U Been Gone” - Strut &amp; dance during the verses, and SPRINT during the chorus. Run like it’s not “Since U Been Gone” but “Since I Kicked Dirt in Your Retard Face.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Next time I’ll add arm choreography. And make Sass videotape it. If you would like an in-person demo, please feel free to schedule a Crunch gym appointment with me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Workout: 15 minutes on the elliptical. 20 of the best minutes of my life on the treadmill.&lt;/p&gt;
