Within the 2nd day of the ACP conference, I went from listening to the West Coast Editor of People.com about the Charlie Sheen scandal to the set of Style network’s How do I look? You can’t get more Hollywood Access than that within 24 hours at a conference.

To read more about my experience on a televsion set, People mag and more….

I began the day with excitement about the How-to-guide session and Freelance stories led by James McCommons. Those two sessions were interesting, informative and applicable to my career as a freelancer. The tips and structures that were given short, sweet and to the point. Just like the ledes, stories and queries I will have to pitch to editors at newspapers and magazines. McCommons emphasized that journalists know the market, voice and target audience of their magazine interest.

After, listening to and being inspired by the advice given. I was excited to hear from the LA Times sports columnist and ESPN panelist Bill Plaschke. I knew that Plaschke would be a great speaker because of his work with the community — mentor with Big brothers, Big sisters. Plaschke shared so many gems of wisdom including: telling the stories of people that aren’t heard, making people feel, the power of words and storytelling and the value of face-to-face communication. I was so impressed that I gave him the big “O”.

From giving the big “O” to keynote speaker Bill Plaschke to saying “Ohhhh” agreeing with Michael Fleeman about the mess that Charlie Sheen has created in the past few days in the media. Fleeman, West Coast editor for People magazine’s People.com, was real & honest about his journey. I was impressed that he had covered the OJ Simpson trial and the Rodney King beating.

It’s amazing that I was in the press room for the Oscars 2011 with the West Coast Editor of People.com talking about the latest scandals. But, my Hollywood Access did not stop there. Bianca Butler randomly met a producer for the television show, how do I look? We were invited to be a part of the show.

The show had lots of takes — cheering, smiling, faking( I mean acting) and giving “action” shots. Overall, the show was okay. I didn’t really like the end result of the makeover.

But, my second day in Hollyhood ( I mean wood) was full of access.

What would you have asked the West Coast Editor of People.com ?
