The Life and Times of Fabian Basabe: "I Am Done with Vegas For at Least a Few Weeks!"
By Fabian Basabe
And right when you thought you got rid of me... Hi guys, I am back! And I have a question: why are you reading this blog if you think I am a douche bag? Come on, click away from this page and make room for all those who like me, because yes, they are many and many more. Did I get rid of you? Did I now? Okay then, keep reading, but now the douchebag is you!!!
Anyway... Let's talk about my endorsement campaign. I was asked to be the face, literally, of a very cool skin care company, Dr. Alessi, which is based in Los Angeles and who promise to make every client look like me. Pretty groovy, yeah? And, as if that were not enough, Dr. Alessi is the founder of an amazing charity foundation called Face Forward, so I am definitely proud and flattered they asked me and I hope I will do I good job representing them.
Now let's talk about my TV project. I was approached by Lifetime and asked to participate in an episode of their show Top This Party. Basically, the show follows you and your party planner's trials and tribulations throughout the process of trying to plan the best party EVER. Since I just got the endorsement campaign, and my friend Brittny Gastineau wanted to throw me a party for that, we just jumped at it and said YEEEESSSSS! And just like that I am back on TV. Let me just say that after my extensive study of parties I kinda knew that this party was going to be... well.... but as you know, I never say no to a party, so I cheerfully accepted the job, packed up and left for Vegas, where the show was going to be filmed.
