NAMM! NAMM! NAMM! Hot Damn! — Day 1 (Pics)
NAMM was an incredible success!
I got tons of opportunities to talk about my upcoming books and potential screenplays and I have serious interest and participation!
So, enough talk…
Let’s get on with the pictures!
We’ll just open with a darn good picture of Cliff Williams, AC/DC and me!
But let’s back track a little!
Here’s me — too excited and getting ready!
The show started
on Thursday, but I happen to get there on Wednesday so that I could get all checked in and ready for the next day’s events.
In front of the big stage where the Legends concert will be Friday night.
I just couldn’t wait!Over 35 artists from legendary bands like The Motels, Three Dog Night, Blue Oyster Cult, Iron Maiden, Asia, Yes, Bad Company, BB King, Quiet Riot and more!
Did you know that this is the NAMM’s 7th annual living legends concert? I just hope it doesn’t rain!
Let it be known, that the (non-convention) hotel events start on Wednesday and serious partying begins immediately!
And, of course…
The shoes!
Everyone including artists, execs, videographers, photographers, manufacturers… Literally everybody that makes the music industry come together are here under this one roof!
Wow!
I can’t wait for tomorrow’s pics!! 😉
So, we’ll just say… There’s nothing to be any mountain biking for me today!
XOXO
Belle Karper
Stay well, my friends!

Live at the Playboy Mansion!… (pics)
So… I gotta tell you. I didn’t know what to expect.
It was supposed to be a Rock-n-Roll night with all kinds of Rock Stars Performing.
Including Steven Tyler.
Oh Yeah.
And, god knows that if I had to “do” a Rock Star… Steven Tyler would be the number one.
I mean look at him…
Steven Tyler, you fine little thing you!
Now… I know that this is the same pic that I posted yesterday…
And, I know that I told you that he was going to kiss my hand…
I know I told you that.
But, what happened was so much better!
Eeeek!
It’s true.
So there I was amongst the crush of the audience.
And, I have to tell you that I did look divine!
I decided to go 80’s Retro Bouffant Rock Glam!
Check it out —
Gotta check out the doo!
Now I am already having a wild time even before I hit the red carpet–
I am hitting up the bar…Of course. Hello? I am at a party, right? And then in walks….
Jack Russell of Great White
Bruce Kulick of KISS
Belle with Alan White from YES!
Before you know it, I am having drinks with
Billy Sheehan of Mr. Big, Steve Vai and David Lee Roth
Belle with Rudy Sarzo of Quiet Riot and Ozzy Osbourne!
Belle with Mark Hudson Producer/Songwriter for Aerosmith and Ringo Star
Belle Karper with Kip Winger of Winger (So freaking hot on stage!)
Mark Hudson and Kip Winger on Stage at the Playboy Mansion
Belle Karper with Vinny Appice of Black Sabbath and Dio
Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath and Dio) & Phil Soussan (Billy Idol and Osbourne) being interviewed by gal from “E”
Teddy Andreadis of Guns N’ Roses and Alice Cooper
You can always find him among the vertile bunnies!
Plus, let us not forget our Dear Steven…
Or on the stage…
Check out those lips. Come on, guess!
Come on! You can do it!
That’s right!
Steven Tyler, you silly kids.
Now I have to tell you a little story about this cute little Steven Tyler.
Yes, yes, of Aerosmith. That’s right. Now let me talk.
He was onstage, doing things that only Steven Tyler can do.
Yeah, just use your imagination, kay?
And, he come off stage and comes around the center of the audience and then behind the safety of a cluster of instrument panels.
Safety, huh?
Well, I just followed him right around… standing there drooling like everybody else, right?
Hey, I need to be honest here.
Yeah. We were drooling.
Men and Women alike.
Have we no shame?
Well… no.
No. We have no shame.
Now that we’ve got that over with.
All of a sudden this pathway opens up going right toward him.
It’s like it was calling me… “Belle! Belle!”
Well, that’s my f-ing-name, right?
So I followed it. I followed it so that I was right next to the bunny, Steven, and the other bunny and then ME!
Hell, I could take that bunny out, no problem.
But, I am a little better than that. Not much, but a little, okay?
So I lean over in front of bunny number one.
I say, “Hey Steven! I’m Belle Karper.”
And he turns and says four inches from my face. FOUR INCHES!
He says to me, “Hey Beautiful!” (Hey Beautiful is not too shabby, so I’ll take it!)
I say, “I think you’re just wonderful!”
“Thank you!” he says.
Then I say, “Hey, I want you to tell Phillip Phillips (p2) that–“
“Who?”
“Phillip Phillips of American Idol,”
“Oh yeah, Okay?”
“I want you to tell him that he has the Cougar Vote!”
He started laughing and he said, “I will!”
And, then I joke you not, he tickled my tummy!
TICKLED MY TUMMY!
I may never wash there for the rest of my life!
How’s that for an adventure!
Just like the fun little Flash-Fiction Rock-N-Roll Adverture in my New Short Story —

Partied Last Night, Y’all…!
Partied with some old
(well, not so old,
just long-standing,
well some of them are old,
some of them are old-er,
and actually some of them are short,
but nothing is wrong with short,
and some of them are tall,
but I love them all).
Yes... and then there were more!
To make a long story short (too late)
We had a good time.
SWEET!

Dick Clark… Dies at 82.
It’s amazing to think that Dick Clark actually died.
The ageless, flawless man.
Who could have thought that he was actually mortal?
Dick Clark... ever ageless
He started at American Bandstand.
American Bandstand.
You can google that show if you need to, or just click here: American Bandstand
What an incredible journey his life has had.
So many people learnerd how to dance because of that show.
They learned how to rock ‘n roll.
But, The most miraculous thing about Dick Clark… was that he never aged.
Hmmm…
What a thought.
I could buy into that.
I could be digging that.
Oh, yeah.
So, that ageless thing has done him well…
And the fact that he wasa brilliant guy in front of the behind the cameras.
Not too shabby.
$100 Million at 82, means you’re doing something right.
I heard he was a great guy.
I just need to know the name of his plastic surgeon… or at least his make-up lady.
😉
Rest in Peace.
Another legend now in the outfield…

Save it, Baby! Count me in!
Yes… It’s prom season!
(Save it, Baby! Count me in!)
So, it goes like this . . .
My daughter comes back from her second prom last night, two o’clock in the morning.
It’s tough when you look freaking amazing.
And, she had a fabulous time.
It reminds me of when I was back in high school, although I did not go to my senior prom. I had just broken up with my boyfriend, and figured that he was not worth spending an entire night with, much less a bunch of money on, just to go to prom.
No biggie.
Hmmmm.
Prom.
So did I miss anything? Isn’t it just an over glorified dance?
I don’t think I missed anything by not dancing the hoochy-koo with my ex-boyfriend in a gym filled with bad teenage decorations.
I remember watching in an Oprah show on mothers that would do anything to make sure that their daughters are able to go to prom. Because these mothers, had missed their proms and felt like their lives were lacking as a result… of missing prom.
Chill everybody… it’s just freaking prom.
It’s just a dance.
Granted, it’s a nice memory. Nothing to get your whole life worked up over.
These moms were putting ads in local newspapers, spreading the word, even paying some of these boys to take their daughters to prom. Just because they, themselves, felt like they had missed out on something that was life-changing.
Isn’t that sad?
These women… and at least their 40s, were still hanging on to the fact that they hadn’t gone to prom… and they were going to make damn sure that their daughters didn’t have that same baggage.
Frankly, I don’t think their daughters would’ve had that baggage unless that baggage was suggested to them by their own mothers.
It’s just prom. Right? Am I missing something here?
I don’t think so.
Now, I knew that all my friends were at the party having a good time.
And, I was a little blue that wasn’t there. It’s true.
And then… I got over it.
I got to spend time with my irritating brother, and my silly dad, and my good-cooking mom.
Not too bad… really. They’re great people.
So, I’m glad to say that my daughter went to her second prom. And she had a great time at each prom, but had she not had a date she would’ve gone alone… and still had a great time.
This is the beauty of the modern teenager… That in this day and age you can go to prom by yourself. You don’t have to bring in three-eyed cousin from Nebraska just to be your date.
When I was going to prom… you did not go alone. Period. End of Story. That’s it folks. No Hans Solo.
And, all those women that were on the Oprah show, I believe that they were not “socially allowed” to go alone either. That there was some stigma attached to just hang with your friends at a big dance.
Luckily, with the progression of civilization we have accepted the fact that people can have fun alone… without a date… just hanging with your friends.
Thank god we have made major strides.
Right.
Oprah moms. Get over it.
Move on, Moth-ah!
Graduate from high school.
I am here to tell you there is life after prom.
I promise.
😉

PICKLED TINK Finalist in Broad Humor Film Festival!!!
(Save it, Baby! Count me in!)
So, it goes like this . . .
Holy cow!
What a great week this has been… I have been chosen, or actually my screenplay “Pickled Tink” has been chosen as a FINALIST in the Broad Humor Film Festival Screenwriting Competition!
2010 FINALIST -- "Pickled Tink"
There are only five categories for feature films, and only two finalists per category!
I want to say this again, because I’m not sure that you might understand what I just said, I am one of two people in my category from the many many many people that submitted screenplays!!
Aaaaaaah!
So fun, right?
Plus, at this three-day event again in June 11 through the 13th, on June 12 they are going to do a public reading of parts of the script during the film festival!
They are hiring professional actors to perform my work on stage!
Groovy, baby! (I just had to throw in a little Austin Powers there!)
Super Groovy, baby!!!
So I hope that you’ll all be able to make it to the Broad Humor Film Festival on June 11 through the 13th in Venice, California!
It’s going to be a blast!
