Men, Jesus, Musical Theater and Hitler
As I think about the numerous “Real Hollywood Mom” stories and experiences I have had, continue to have, and want to share here I am seeing a theme.  Remember my HE-SHE post? (I hope so because it was a good one, unless you are horrified by such things or extremely conservatively, opressively religious then you most likely do NOT read my blog anymore. Just remember, Jesus loves...

"Can Have Odd Features"
Brought Roan with me to a Geico commercial audition today.  It’s alright to bring your child to commercial auditions, as opposed to auditions for TV shows or Movies.  I don’t like to make a habit of it, for Roan and the other auditionees sakes, however I do not have a full time Nanny so it’s unavoidable. Today’s audition was for Geico. A very funny spot actually. The...

TRASH
I was headed into the 99 cent store on La Brea to buy props for the “Trash Show” sketch I was doing with my friend Edi at the Groundlings. The Trash Show is as dirty, wrong, taboo as you can get. Being primarily a mom who is often overwhelmed with such exciting things as laundry! and packing lunches! I savor performance opportunities such as these. Yeah, I know, I’m 35 and...

"Mommy, What's a He-She?" Part 2.
Roan and I were waiting in the glassed in viewing area of the dance studio at the YMCA.  I had enrolled Roan in tumbling because he has energy to burn and seems to be really coordinated.  I was glad to see there were some burly little boys along with a few girls in tutus.  As we waited these two twins come in. They are about 7 years old and I could not tell if they were boys or girls. Nothing...

Tranny-Whores (or, "Mommy What's a HE-SHE?" part...
Roan and I were in our car, waiting at a stoplight on the corner of La Brea and Santa Monica Blvd.  Not exactly the epicenter of Tranny-Whore ville,* but close enough that there were a smattering of tranny whores waiting on the corner or at the bus stop along with Mexican nannies and homeless people. A particularly masculine whore was standing about five feet from our car. I glanced at him/her a...

"Faye" Roan's Eighty Year Old Babysitter /...
When I called “The Babysitter’s Guild- LA’s largest and oldest” babysitting agency, I expected a good number of the sitters I’d get would be actresses waiting for their big break. Perhaps young Midwestern girls with sandy blond hair and their eye set on being the next star on 90210. They would be good with kids and eventually after the acting thing inevitably...

Welcome From A *Real* Hollywood Mom
I’m Ariane Price and… I’m a *REAL* Hollywood Mom.  No, I’m not a celebrity. But I am an actress, I am a mom to my fantastically amazing 3 year old son Roan (thingsroansays.twitter.com) and I do live in Hollywood. I can even see the “H” from the HOLLYWOOD Sign from my front porch.  I know, you’re not convinced. Because when you think of “Hollywood...
