Movies and More
So I was just checking on the two movies I was in last year - Spinning Into Butter (with Sarah Jessica Parker, Beau Bridges, Mykelti Williamson, James Rebhorn, etc.) is still slated for the end of this year, however Aftermath (with Anthony Michael Hall, Tony Danza, Chris Penn (RIP), and Michelina Alimindo) has been pushed back to 2007 sometime. Either way, I’m quite anxious for these two movies to be released! I’m very excited about them, and considering the screentime I’m expecting, y’all will see my ugly mug fairly close in each film!
I’ve been doing lots of thinking about my upcoming birthday. (April 5th) I’m going to be 29. Some of this “thinking” is quite depressing, and other times it’s pretty inspiring, or something I’m just so deeply into that it doesn’t really bother me. A lot of times I tend to think of birthdays more of a “New Year’s” than Jan. 1st, maybe that’s because mine’s only 4 months afterward, and if I haven’t stuck to any of my resolutions I can “restart” on my birthday. Maybe it’s because I’m a new “age” and have time to reflect on the changes I’ve made, mile-marked of course, by the previous birthday since we all always say “When I was about… 25 or so…” rather than “It was mid-late 2002, or maybe 2003…”
Either way - I do feel older. I do feel more mature, more intelligent, wiser, and older. Is my “biological clock ticking”? In my head, I can hear it. How my body feels about it, I’m not sure. Am I more worried about health issues than I was before? Sure. I think I get more worried about them every day. Am I willing to take steps to “erase the sands of time”? Willing… yes. Doing… not yet. But I’m working on a list. ;)

Forgot to mention just before I turned 30, I got pregnant. Last kid, though, not first one.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY:):):):):):):):):)
Hope you are doing well- I do think about you - especially while driving past the Stewart’s in Hagaman!!!
We should do coffee again and catch up.
Talk to you soon - Have a great B-day!!!

Im going to be as respectful as I can. If in fact, Ms. Lara, this is your website, why is it you allow people to come here and make comments to someone who will never read this….sounds like someone needs some serious attention. This is strictly false advertisement because you have Monique all on your site so what are people suppose to think? Why not just have pictures of you?
First, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to comment on my site here, however I’d like to point some things you have missed:
1. Mo’Nique’s show has linked TO me on this page of THEIR SITE, asking ME to write about my experience with my audition, my opinions, and so forth, and to link back to the show’s site. I have done so, in my sidebar where it says “Read more about my audition…” below the image of the Mo’Nique (the image that links to the show’s website), as well as here: http://www.ladydelaluna.com/general/moniques-fat-chance/ where that link in the sidebar points to - which talks about my audition for the show. NOWHERE have I claimed to be Mo’Nique, and in fact, I’ve done my level best to prove I’m NOT her in recent weeks as the apparent confusion has built up - as can be seen in this post.
2. You also apparently missed the ever-so-common “About Me” page, which not only has my photo, but other information that in no way suggests that I’m Mo’Nique.
3. You also missed another post, that contains more photos from my portfolio.
Now let’s tie this up with some direct response to your accusations:
You said (see my replies in bold):
Im going to be as respectful as I can. If in fact, Ms. Lara, this is your website, why is it you allow people to come here and make comments to someone who will never read this (How do you propose I “stop” them? I’ve tried to clarify it in my comments section, and in the post about Mo’Nique’s show, in other people’s comments, and in an entirely new post. What else do you think I could do to stop people from making comments on my site that are irrelevant? PLEASE TELL ME - because I sure as hell am not encouraging it!)
…sounds like someone needs some serious attention. (Hmm. This one takes away from your “be respectful” preface, however I’ll just answer this one for you - This website is ABOUT me. So yeah, I’d guess that means I expect people to come here and read about ME, talk with ME, and learn more about ME… that is, after all, the point of a website, isn’t it?)
This is strictly false advertisement because you have Monique all on your site so what are people suppose to think? (False advertisement? First, I’m not selling anything, so your accusation makes no sense. You can’t falsely advertise something if you’re not selling anything. And I don’t have Mo’Nique all over my site. I have a photo in my sidebar, that when clicked on, goes to HER site. When you click on the words underneath that photo, it goes to a post about my audition for HER show. Nowhere in there do I say anything that could remotely be construed as a claim to be her. Apparently, you’re of the masses who don’t bother to READ something before they comment on it.)
Why not just have pictures of you? (Again, I do. All over. I’ve given you links up top there, however since you probably don’t read either, I’ll link them here again too: here are photos of me, and there’s another one right here)
I’m posting this below your comment, and may in fact create a brand new post about it as well. Again, this IS my site. My name IS Lara C. Kulpa (as it says right in the footer, which you also apparently missed reading (as did many other people for some strange reason)) and I have neither claimed to be Mo’Nique nor have I claimed to be able to send messages to her for people or anything of the sort. If YOU can prove your accusation of such, please show me exactly where I said anything like that. You can’t blame it on two pictures of her, that were sent to me BY THE NETWORK HER SHOW AIRS ON, WITH THEIR REQUEST FOR ME TO PUT IT ON MY SITE, because all that says is that you, like others, refuse to actually READ.
Thanks, but you haven’t been respectful, you haven’t helped in any way, and you’ve done nothing but make invalid accusations. If you want to criticize me, do so with a level of intelligence. Get some PROOF, some fact, before you go accusing someone of something they never did, and have gone out of their way to prevent confusion with.
