so this is my first attempt at vlogging. my first idea was to talk about hidden talents, but then i realized i have none, so i vlogged about this instead. sorry. but you still need to watch it or else i will be coming after you with a homemade shank. look at me, i’m the next martha: the prison edition.
make sure your volume is up loud enough because i tend to mumble (yes, my career as a stage actress is well on its way). let me know what you think. and don’t mention my terrible editing, i already know i suck at that.

I can’t see it. It says it’s private and I have to accept a friend request?
Debbi recently posted..Happy father’s day!
thank you debbi! can you try it again and comment if you’re able to see it?
It’s working. I’m going to go watch it.
Debbi recently posted..Happy father’s day!
As previously stated…you are gorgeous. And hilarious. And I love that you’re vlogging now, because it made me giggle.
Jenny recently posted..Vegas Wrap-up, Part I
now it’s your turn.
Hilarious. Your accents were great. 15 pounds in the last week? Sounds like me this past week.
Debbi recently posted..Happy father’s day!
It’s official. You and I are soul mates.
You’ve been officially informed.
thanks for the information, matey.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was hilarious!
Loved the video! Totally made me laugh.
HAHAHA I’m laughing so hard. You’re amazing at accents and so very beautiful! You better be doing some more vlogs in the future!
carissajaded recently posted..Shitty Shitty Bang Bang, minus the bang.. but close.
yes…now i just need new material. i exhausted all the funny i’ve got in me in this one video.
I wish I was brave enough to vlog. I look like a fool on video…
Anyway, there is something over on my blog today for you if you’re interested! No hard feelings if you’re not, I just think you’re awesome.
well it’s official…you are AMAZING.
Dammit, I am never gonna be amazing
Loved it!!!!!
thank you for the notice. do you have documentation of my amazingness so i can hang it up in my office? or actually behind my kitchen table because what used to be an office is now a bedroom for my son (i am so generous it kills me)?
First, I hate you because you are beautiful. Yep.
And second, you are hilarious!! I guess I could vlog about Jessica’s hoohah. I think it would sound a little like your New York accesnt.
Kristina P. recently posted..Dressing Down
wait, you hate me? great, this totally ruins my chances of making it into snuggie of the week. i was pinning all my hopes for fame on that. boo.
and i totally snorted when i read that jessica’s hoohah might sound like my new york accent. because that is EXACTLY how i imagined it, too. oh no…i just admitted that i have imagined something about jessica’s hoohah. does that make me a lesbian? thinking about a talking hoohah?
we should do a collaboration vlog.
Buahahahaha! Its ok if your pigeon is not all there. I lived in Hawaii all my life and my pigeon is horrible. But I like that about myself. Haha! And I still remember in high school when you told me you talked in an English accent to fit in when you lived in England. You really do have a talent for speaking the “lingo” of the places you live in.
You are HILARIOUS!!
why thank you! you have no idea how much you are right.
i think this is the first vlog that i actually made it to the end! (short attention span) Hilarious! That is real talent girl!
Grace @ Arms Wide Open recently posted..This is a tribute to my husband.
yesssss…i think that is one of the best compliments i’ve ever gotten, that you watched me make a fool of myself all the way to the end of my video. you are a true soldier, grace. if you ever vlog, i promise to tell you i watched it all the way to the end.
Baha! This was hilarious. I knew one of each of those chicks but I went to school all in the same city. Funny how that works out, eh?
you knew all of my personalities when you were in high school? i hope you were nice to them. especially the british one, she’s very sensitive.
Funny! You sound like one of the girls from My Super Sweet Sixteen with the NY accent. Spot on!
I want to do a vlog…you may have just inspired me, though I also would have loved to hear about the dead rabbit that was in your purse.
LZ recently posted..Sucky is the new awesome
do the vlog! you can borrow my fake dead rabbit.
OMG! LMAO! I Love it!! That is pretty darn good for your virst vlog!! Keep em comming!
I don’t hate you because you’re beautiful… I hate you because you can do totally rad accents and I can’t.
i bet you can. we’ll talk at evo.
LOL! Very funny! My favorite part is when you tell Ma that he can drive the BMW into the river for all you care!!
Rachel {at} Mommy Needs a Vacation recently posted..Mom Sexy Prom!!
Love it! The NY accent is perfect! I hate to say I am an authority… I am not a native but I’ve been here for almost 15 years now.
And can we hate you because you’re beautiful?
(No, really, can we?)
robin recently posted..Monday’s Muse: Jet Set
no, you may not hate me for any reason, ever. but i happen to hate you because you live in new york and i live in not new york. poo.
You know that I’m going to expect you to do accents the whole time we’re at BlogHer now, right?
Wow. That’s what I have to say. WOW. You’re good. For reals. And also, after spending some days with me, I’ll be expecting a Minnesotan accent vlog
Way to go, lady! You’re a natural vlogger. I dig it.
Heather of the EO recently posted..Actually, it felt more like a shoe hit my head. Or a toaster.
guess what? i can already do the minnesota. i lived there for a summer a couple years ago when my husband had an internship at general mills, and i had quite the romance with the accent.
and it sounds like blogher is shaping up to be a rockin good time. what with all the sobriety, accents, and pizza. did i not mention pizza before? well, i will be eating a lot of it.
You are absolutely hilarious. I am so impressed you pulled all of the accents off – right in a row like that. Once I do one accent, I can’t make the switch to another very easily. Can’t wait to see more vlogs
Amy recently posted..I Heart Faces- Celebrating Teenagers
Unfortunately for me I frequently say, “What the whoo-ha?” totally innocent-like and now everytime I do, it will be tainted. And totally unrelated, did you by chance take a college senior course about Polynesia in Literature (or some such title). If so, then I finally figured out why you look familiar.
The redhead recently posted..It’s a hard habit to break
i am very sorry to have taken whoo-ha away from you. as a repayment, please accept my undying love of bradley cooper.
and yes! i totally did have that class. nice to “see” you again. by the way, i hated it (the class, not seeing you).
Wow, what good face placement I have. And I too was less than enthused by the class. Except for that one time we had Polynesian food for the final, and the many other times we ate quasi-authentic food. Senior course my arse!
The redhead recently posted..It’s a hard habit to break
hahahaaaaaaaaaaa that was incredible. please do more of these.
and i sometimes use pens as pretend cigarettes, too. just because.
ericka @ alabaster cow recently posted..stick figure saturday: my kid, the beauty queen.
Hey Alexis, Erica from Alabaster Cow sent me your way…I have been having issues with blogger & am thinking of switching to workd press, but don’t want to lose ALL the photos I have posted, and all my comments. Wanted to see how that went for you and if you had any issues! Let me know whenever you get a minute or two
Adorable blog by the way!! I will have to read up!!! I LOVE your title!
Laury @ thefitnessriot recently posted..Acid/ Alkaline Food Balance
currently laughing my muli off! wow, I can honestly say I didn’t expect that LOL. good to see you guys today
HAHA! Hilarious!
You are so brave to do a vlog. I think I would be way too nervous to even attempt that.
it wasn’t so bad…i was nervous at first, but you didn’t see the first hour of footage that i shot that sounded kinda like this: ummmm, hahaha (nervous giggles), doo be doo be doo…
you’re welcome.
I love it!
Lisa recently posted..Better late than never, right?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Seriously made my day LMAO~!
So talented
Ula Inouye recently posted..i miss you CUPCAKE!
Very good. I am still laughing. And since you have made terroristic threats I am not going to mention the editing.
Ready for the next one.
i love how you “didn’t mention the editing” yet still managed to bring attention to the editing. you suck.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! this is freaaaakin hilarious!!! esp. the new york one!!! hahaha! reminded me of jersey girls. lol. LOVE the vlogging thing. u should do it more often!!!
BAHAHA I LOVE IT!!!! I like to think I have an ear for accents, too. My husband makes fun of me b/c I turn on my Southern one whenever I talk to my mom or my grandma. I could feel myself picking up the Utah one when I was out there, and now I sometimes answer in a Philly one if, say, the cashier at the grocery store makes small talk.
OMG – How freakin adorable are you??? And when should I give you an Academy Award for those accents?
You rocked the vlog mama – and your blog? Looks as gorgeous as you! Welcome to the world of WP!!!
xo
Theta Mom recently posted..The Negative Side of Blogging
you should give me my award at blogher, where we WILL be meeting.
thanks, i’m loving the new look too–now just to find all my missing comments…grr.
You make me smile…
That was hysterical. I had to watch it again today, and again I laughed out loud. I lived in New Zealand and Hawaii so I sometimes turn on those accents too, but the one that was SO funny was the NY one!! Loved the script too!
script? that was no script, mama! that’s why the editing was so bad–i had to cut out like two minutes’ worth of me going, “errrr…what should i say now?” hmmm…next time maybe i should write a script.
ROTFL…You rock so hard, especially with your New York accent…I LOVE it!!!!
Holla if you see me at EVO. I’ll be speaking Friday after lunch on the Doing Business in a Social Media World panel. I’d love to say hi!
Ghennipher Weeks recently posted..Energy Solutions Takes on the Blogosphere
thanks ghennipher! i will most definitely be seeing you at EVO–i’m attending your panel! woot.
talk soon!
mazel tov. Good edits. Oh and my vagina says hello.
ALEX!!! 3F’s my friend–FUNNIEST FREAKIN’ FLOG (that’s fob for VLOG)!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gawwwwsh…I LOVE IT–ALL OF IT. Please put up MORE ’cause I wanna see a VIETNAMESE accent (I’m sure you could give Anjelah Johnson a run for her money), a HAMO accent (aka FOBarilla), and hmmm…yes, I think I’d like to see more of NEW YORK please!! I also realllly loved seeing you in action…this is cool…please make more.
Miss ya!
You make me laugh. I’m so glad I met you
A, soooo you’re beautiful and funny! I loved it. I loved the accents. It’s why I think more people should be video blogging – it shows off a side of you that writing can’t. Hilar!!! Keep em’ coming:)
Alexis..I have missed you. Since you made the switch, I have not been getting my updates. I came on today to catch up on the last 2 weeks of posts. I love the accents…especially since you sound just like me in the NY one!! I think the vlogging is a great idea…gives us a chance to actually feel like we are getting to know you. Keep it going. And congrats on ur Theta Mom appearance!
I love that you’re vlogging!
And I’m jealous I don’t have an accent.
You missed your calling…you should definitely be acting.
Not that your blog isn’t awesome, I mean you’re an awesome blogger and everything, it’s just that was really good.
