Property Management and Roommates from Hell !

It is no secret to some of you that I am a property manager by trade. Back in 1995 I managed 16 apartment buildings and several single family homes. I worked in the Santa Monica area which required me to be knowledgeable about rent control laws and also West Los Angeles which is under Rents Stabilization and of course there was HUD too. I managed these buildings for approximately 7 years while attending college for Math and Science.

It can be a very challenging job and can drive you nuts if you don’t have everything set up a certain way. Of course your office must be in order and you must have a number where tenants can reach you..... I like to let them go to voice mail because many tenants are overly emotional and giving then a moment to calm down and think about their actions actually saved me a lot of headaches. There where times also when i wouldn’t call them back at all, for instance if they needed a plumber, I would just refer the call to one of several plumbers I had on call.

One tenant of mine was a brilliant girl, attractive, knew several languages but was just insane as nuts gets....not to mention she was a slut.... I know this because she had slept with some of my workers plus she would sometimes come out and tell me. One day she went off on me. We were at the top of the stairs and she threw her keys on the floor and yelled at me to pick them up. It was crazy, she was crazy....i told her to pick them up herself and she started to flip out...I though she would throw me down the stairs so I just took of and she yelled and waived her hands around while yelling obscenities in regards to the landlord.....me. Well she ended up blowing her brains out with a 9mm and of course I was in charge of viewing the after-mess, filing a police report and getting workers over there to clean the mess up. That haunted me for about a week, just the details alone about how she did it. There were a lot of empty pill capsules laying around too, and yes her rent check bounced. What a shame, she was so smart, yet so ill. Rumor had it that her father was a world renown mathematician over at UCLA and that her family pressured her to excel all her life.....

People are very strange and I think a lot of the reason why they are that way is because of the system and of course mental illness. But I think many people have jobs they hate and they get to a point in there life where they realise how short life really is and it all seems like shit if you hate what you are doing. Another depressing problem is how hard it is to own a home especially here in Los Angeles..... And if you own one you have to worry about keeping it (that’s my bag).

But I digress......I now have some awesome ladies living in my rather large home on half an acre here in the San Fernando Valley. They are responsible professional women that always pay rent on time and clean up after themselves etc. I couldn’t keep my home if it weren’t for my renters, my sessions and PEOPLE JOINING MY SITE (which is cheap so please join).

I’ve always followed the rules to a T, they filled out applications, signed a lease payed a deposit etc. but I recently trusted a girl (yea stupid me) and let her move into my guest house in the backyard. We had a verbal agreeement that would stand in court. She agreed to do some little finishing touches on it in exchange for rent for 2 months which was very generous of me. And it was also made clear that she was to give 30 days notice before leaving. By the time the 3rd month came around which was the first month she was to pay me rent.... I caught her sneaking out the back with 4 boxes of her junk. I confronted her and she couldn’t even look me in the eyes, a pathetic creature, a user of my good nature. I really though her to be an honorable person but she underhandedly breached our verbal agreement and did not give me a 30 day notice or the rent that she currently owes me for the month of June. Pathetic and I will never do any more favors for anyone again. I’m sticking to the book and if they can’t afford it they don’t belong here, PERIOD !

So know I have a really cute guest house in the backyard for rent to someone that has their shit together....no more trailer trash! Next week I will have it painted and I will put in carpet and add some light fixtures a fridge etc. I"m sure I will fine a great tenant, a profession gal who will enjoy this little country house in the back.

Keep your hands off my “Mouskas”…

Did you know that Fetish Jade has a trademarked hairdo ?.... Well did you?

That’s right, those goofy mini-mouse ears that Jade sports are actually trademarked..... as in “her” hairdo!

Many have asked her how to style this do........ So perhaps a video is in order.....

One thing for sure.... Jade does not like her Mouskas touched......no how no way.......

It was reported that a past flame of Jade’s grabbed her Mouskas during an intimate moment and used them for leverage.....like handle bars.....

Well, we all know what happened to him....

So word of advice....... admire from a distance, but don’t you dare touch those Mouskas!!!

I love my dentist !

Hello everyone !!
Are you afraid of the dentist?  I used to be until I met Dr. Stewart Balikov of Beverly Hills.

It has taken 2 years but I finally have my pearly whites!  They are perfection. When I was a little girl, my father bought me a bicycle that was way too big for me. I ended up falling face first into the sidewalk......my permanent teeth were sanded down to nothing.  My mother was a struggling single mom and did the best she could for me.  I had crowns put on and was very happy.  As the years went by I became less enchanted with these crowns because they had silver at the base of my gums and it was visible.  The crowns were also pinching my gums which made them appear whitish.  I had lots of mercury fillings and two gold molars.....yikes !!!
When I first met Dr. Stewart, I told him right away that I wanted movie star teeth !!!  He looked into my mouth and told me I could count on gorgeous teeth but not until everything else was fixed.  So, he then proceeded to fix all my old dental work.  He took out my old mercury fillings, removed all my gold and old silver filled porcelain crowns.

I must say that I have always been terrified of the thought of getting shots in the mouth.....but with Dr. B you can’t even feel them...... and over the past two years I’m sure I have had at least 1000 shots easy!

Dr. B uses the best dental lab in the US called Opus One Laboratories ( http://www.opusonelabs.com ).  The gentleman who designed my teeth is named Uri Yarovesky.  Uri owns the lab and he is definitely an “artist.” When I told him how white I wanted my teeth, he fought me on it.  I said, “Uri, look at my hair and eyebrows, do I look like a gal who likes things to look natural” ....LOL .....  Doc B stepped in and said, well she has a point there.  You see, in the past Uri has had patients say they wanted snow white teeth but when he gave them what they wanted, they ended up coming back with the complaint of, “they are too white.” I assured him this would not happen......

So he got busy making the teeth.  When the big day finally came, I went to have them put in at Doc B’s office in Bev Hills (always on a Saturday morning).  Now there was tons of prep work before I could even get these teeth and I am not talking about the repairs I mentioned above.  When Doc B showed me the teeth in the box, they looked stunning.......  He put them in and shined a light on me and they looked brilliant.  But...... and it was a big but...... when I went home and looked into the mirror, I was crushed.  They were not white enough.  I was so upset......I tried to get used to them but just couldn’t..... They were the most expensive beautifully built temps anyone ever had...... but they were just that......TEMPS!!!  They were not what I had been dreaming of for the past 2 years.  Doc B agreed and off them came.... and that was no easy task! 

Doc B went back to Uri and told him........ and so he began again with the realization that I was dead serious about the shade of whiteness I desired.  I had to wear another set of temps for about a month before they were ready.

So last week I arrived at Doc B’s office as usual on a Saturday.  I was a little worried..... they better be right this time...... that x%*#@^ Uri!  When Doc B opened the box, I was dazzled!!!  He told me that Uri put a special undercoat of white in my caps and veneers (with no additional cost)!  They were perfect.  Jessica Simpson wishes she had my teeth !!!

I feel so fortunate to have met such a kind, generous person..... Doc B !  I never thought I would be able to afford what he has given me.  He is an amazing person and a brilliant perfectionist of a dentist.  Did I mention he studied at USC and is responsible for several playboy models teeth and the Raiders....... I hear those guys are big babies when it come to shots........  LOL

So if you need to go to the dentist, and you probably do..........call Doc B.... he is the best there is trust me !!!

Thanks Doc
