Dream Awakener

Have you heard of Kickstarter?  It’s a funding program for creative projects.  It’s a great site to help people fund interesting projects. The person describes the project, sets the amount that they need to raise, and it all has to come in within 30 days for the person to get the money.

Well, one of my friends, Jennifer Buhl has a project in which she is seeking to raise $10,000.  She has written a book called Snap: Memoir of a Paparazza in which she shares her story of her life as a paparizzi while living in LA.  She also happened to take the current picture of me that I have on facebook.  I know Jennifer well, and I know this will be a fascinating project, where you will learn a bit more behind the scenes here in Hollywood.

In the description of her project at the kickstarter site, she shares how she got into becoming a paparazzi.  “My shift ended at Tropicalia, the Brazilian restaurant up the street from my house in my adored Los Feliz neighborhood.  I had grabbed a coffee and was sitting outside reading the newspaper.  Suddenly, eight blacked-out SUV’s screeched up in front of the boutique across the street.  Seven guys jumped out of their cars, and a beautiful, skinny blond slithered out of hers.  It was Paris Hilton, and she and her sister Nikki were shopping at White Trash Charms.”…  Go to the kickstarter site to learn more of why she became a paparizzi as well as about how you can help her out.

She offers interesting gifts for those who give something to her project.  Check it out, and consider giving something.  Every bit counts, even a $5 donation will help her. Here is a video describing the project.
