We all know how bad sound, color, and music can ruin a movie!  Please consider contributing to this post-production kickstarter for this low-budget horror film I did.  It has the potential to be great!  http://kickstarter.com/projects/petersimeti/the-chair-post-production-on-our-comic-book-horror

Special thanks to Chiller Theatre for hosting me this weekend, and to my always creative fans for making it so special, and to my especially special friends, Marcus Folmar & Kevin Kusmick for making the trek from NYC to see me, and to my long, lost friends, Mindy Sterling ("Austin Powers," "iCarly") & Matt Doherty ("Mighty Ducks") for the crazy, chance encounter!  (So glad Getty Images captured it-- even with my dress tucked into my stockings!)

Ben Woolf was supposed to be here with us this weekend. :(  Thank you, @_elissa67 for the beautiful momento of him!

I travel so much, it's rare when something notable, nevermind hilarious happens in-flight:  I was working away at my computer; the older businessman next to me had propped his iPad up on the seat in front of him.  He fell asleep, and his Netflix queue steamed up... I glanced over, only to see what looked to be a GAY PORN playing!  STARRING A FRIEND OF MINE!!!  I knew not what to do other than snap the photos below!!! I was dying... What was this seemingly straight man (didn't see the pinky till later) doing, watching such smut in public?!  And what was my friend doing IN IT?!  He eventually woke up, MORTIFIED, and quickly changed the channel.  I've since learned from my actor-friend, Eric Dean that's it's actually a gay ROM-COM.  In his defense, his work looked excellent!  I've added it to my Netflix queue to see how it ends!!

Fun fact about Amazon Eve:  her breasts feel like a travel pillow!

New Yorkers:  Don't hate-- you know I ALWAYS come see you whenever I'm close.  I just can't this time-- work calls, not to mention my very own bed!  If, however, you're inclined to come visit me this weekend at Chiller Theatre in Parsippany, NJ, I'll be there Fri-Sun, 4/24-26 with my fellow freaks, and the slew of famous folks listed here.  http://www.chillertheatre.com/gt/gtc4.htm 
GOOD TIMES GUARANTEED!

I remember when Ethan Hawke spoke to us theatre majors in the exact same hall where I spoke to theatre majors this week.  (Been having on to this purple dress, hoping for this very occasion for a while!)  Thanks to the dear friends that joined me last night, on this wonderfully fulfilling, full-circle journey!

Yesterday I shared with students the $h!t they don't teach you at Northwestern about Hollywood.  It must have gone well, because the internet says!  http://dailynorthwestern.com/2015/04/16/campus/american-horror-story-actress-talks-about-her-journey-from-northwestern-to-hollywood/

On this Tax Day, thought I'd ask:  NONE of my friends/fans/followers work for the IRS?  I'm being audited for the SECOND time in 3 years-- they STILL allege my acting is a hobby, and disallow all related deductions.  Got a new accountant on the case, though could really use a friend/fan/follower over there... in case that's you!

April 11, 2015

I'm an only child, though I did enjoy spending "Siblings Day" with the brother-in-law I never had.

Hats off to photographer Cathryn Farnsworth, stylist Holley Wolfe, makeup artist Dallas Dinnocente (and yoga) for this hot, new shot!

More hot, never-before-seen shots by photographer Carlos Moscat, in a dress by designer Natalia Fedner, and an interview by me, re:  WAIT FOR IT... my relationship status.  With Hollywood ;)

PORTLAND!!!  Excited to see whether the dream of the 90's is alive... And more importantly, YOU, THIS WEEKEND, at the Cherry City Comic Con!  http://www.cherrycitycomiccon.com

April 2, 2015

NOW YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLAY WITH ME!  Got my very own action figure today... This was on my bucket-list, btw, along with Halloween mask, invite to the Playboy mansion, and letter from the President.  Now all I need is my face on the side of a bus... (WITHOUT being hit by one!)

ULTIMATE APRIL FOOL'S PRANK:  when photographer Andrew Tess, stylist Christin Galarraga & makeup artist Jessie Lynn convinced me that shooting "norm core" was a good idea.  YOU GOT ME!

Mad props to Mad Monster Party in Charlotte, NC for a scary-fun weekend!  Congrats to the winners of the best-costume-contest-I've-ever-witnessed, and thanks to my wonderfully dear friends, Linda Gutin & Tamar Raucher for the visit!

I'll say it again, I have THE coolest, most creative fans.  Thank you, Charlotte!

Doing a Reddit "AMA" tomorrow from 1-2pm PST.  Your chance to ASK ME ANYTHING!!!

March 24, 2015

Funny that this mostly nonverbal character would yield SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS; among them, at MY OWN ALMA MATER, Northwestern University!!!




March 23, 2015

Boy George just followed me on Twitter, and Zach Galligan just invited me to a red carpet.  Waiting for Debbie Gibson to call me "out of the blue," and make my wildest 80's dreams come true...

Ben Woolf stayed in Russia 4 days after I left, and each day he wrote me long emails, recounting the days' adventures.  In fact, he used to text me after every trip I took: "How was your flight?" (And I travel A LOT.)  We were supposed to take 3 trips together in March alone, including (if I'm not mistaken) the one I'm on right now.  

Apparently my eulogy yesterday went well... People cried for most of it, then "screamed with laughter during the rape part."  Ben would have liked that.  I was sick to have missed it, though knew carrying on with my commitments is what he would have wished.  There was no question he was with me, signing autographs in spirit, as I was with those you, honoring him yesterday in Santa Barbara.

What feels like a lifetime ago, I would pour my Spanish-teaching-side-job-at-the-time earnings into writing/producing/starring in silly, comedic shorts, in the effort to keep creative, sane, and in the game.  I recently learned that among them, WIGGA PLEAZE!, has been named a "Faux Favorite," to be screened as part of a 10-year retrospective at the Faux Film Festival, April 3-5, at the Clinton Street Theater in Portland, Oregon.  If you're in the area, GO!  If not, WATCH HERE (and get to know me better)!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0uQ1vtn3pc&list=PL4941DD9CF3E78893

In a sequined straight-jacket (like I belong).  Mad props to photographer Cathryn Farnsworth, makeup artiste Dallas Dinnocente, and stylist Holley Wolfe for KILLING it during our shoot yesterday!

I was all smiles on Adam Carolla's show yesterday!  (I also clammed up & blushed for most of it.)  Hear him rant/me be bashful (first time for everything), as we discuss Jimmy Kimmel's pee-hole, etc, here:  http://adamcarolla.com/naomi-grossman-and-matt-atchity/

I'd like to thank the TV Academy/Primetime Emmys for the awesome "Evening with the Women of American Horror Story" last night!

I'm in this new horror movie, whose trailer's EXPLODING on Fangoria's feed. (Their most viewed article of 2015!)  Doesn't it look skeery?  http://www.fangoria.com/new/exclusive-trailer-puts-you-in-the-chair-with-roddy-piper-zach-galligan-et-al/

Monster-Mania Convention, you sure know how to make a freak feel welcome!  Thanks for the wonderful weekend!

Among the highlights of this weekend's Monster-Mania Convention was when "The Name Game" (as shadowed by TNP - Philly's Own Rocky Horror Cast) SPONTANEOUSLY CONSUMED MY BODY AND PROPELLED ME UP ON STAGE.  (Fast-forward to Pepper Pepper Bo Bepper, around the 1:30 mark-- shortly thereafter, the crowd, and I, GO WILD!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxoWyGZwhcg
