Lonelygirl15 is a New Zealand actress called Jessica, apparently. According to some article she's a 19 year old actress who moved to California to get work. The makers of the "work" are a bunch of independent filmmakers, but I'm sure all will be revealed soon enough.
Image search on google came up with these pics 
The thumbnails linked to a talent management agency in New Zealand, but the original pics have been taken off their site... unsurprisingly... in an attempt to hind the real identity of "Bree".
I feel a tad disappointed now the truth is out - it's like a book you just want to get to the end of to find out what happened - so you skip to the end and read the last few pages and then just feel annoyed with yourself cos there's no point in reading the book anymore. I think they should have kept the whole saga going for longer.
My addiction to/ interest in this virtual soap seems to have dissolved- which is good in a way. Less distractions the better for an ADD-type like m'self.
Anyway.. that's enough rambling for one day.
Ok, so .. It's Friday, the boss is away and we're getting into the party mood already! M' colleague Ashley innocently started it all by asking what our favourite dance track of all time was.. and before you could shake a glow stick we had some bangin' tracks blasting out the laptop - Here are our favourites:
First up was on of my (somewhat random) favourites: You'll have to listen to find out what they are.. play along - I promise it'll cheer you up!!

Then someone suggested cheesy tunes and we had "Livin' in a Box" on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njObc0nqUMc
Then we got on to power ballads .... ("I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight", Berlin - "Take My breath Away" - well.. this would could last all day!!! -lovin' it -oh and not forgetting another fav of mine - and I;m going to see him performing live in November which I'm so excited about I could just about burst!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8lmbzUBPj0
Any more suggestions for us??
Hmmm.. we all love a good conspiracy, and since I have been exploring the wonderful new ways people are communicating ideas and broadcasting, I have come across a couple!
Well.. I'm not sure if I would call them conspiracies as such..
Anyway. I'm talking about fake people.
Not robots, or monsters... no these kind are the invention of - well, that's the mystery.
Let me try to be less cryptic.
Lonelygirl15 http://http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=lonelygirl15 and LucyinLAhttp://www.youtube.com/profile?user=LUCYinLA. Now I'm convinced that LonelyGirl is a fake, but I'm not 100% sure about Lucy. You'll find them both on YouTube and MySpace, peddling their videoblog wares....
Lonelygirl is a real soap opera with some bizarre cult stuff thrown in for good measure and LucyinLa is, well, kinda typical American girl trying to make it in Hollywood - hardly original. But she is very pretty in a girl next door kinda way and enthusiastic. Still some folks seem to think they smell a rat.
I just couldn't give a rat's arse - it's just entertainment. You can check it all out for yourself, but be warned! It's highly addictive!
But it does seem to be the future of broadcasting - or at least part of the future.
Lonelygirl has had hundreds of thousands of people view her videos, likewise Lucyinla. And they have created a real buzz - mostly as to the authenticity of their heroines. But could this be the future? Short online "webisodes" in bite size chunks, of soap operas / dramas / magazine programmes etc. It would seem the appetite is there.
Hmmmmmmmm
Tell me what you think.
Here is a very funny music video from a great band called OK Go - watch it:

It's how I would prefer to spend my time on the treadmill.
Here I am!
I have my very own website.
How cool.
Thank you Hodgers for showing me how - and for being such a charming host! You Da Man.
