As many of you know I have been a correspondent for Real TV Films in Los Angeles for the last year. Thanks to Real TV Films I have been able to hone my reporting skills and travel to the best red carpet events around Hollywood and the country. On November 12, 2009 at the Apollo Theater Real TV Films founder Gordon Vasquez and his correspondents will be accepting the 2009 “Breakthrough Media Award”! I am very grateful for the opportunities that have come my way because of Real TV Films. Thank you to Gordon and the hardworking team at Real TV Films!
In 2008 Mayor Villaraigosa launched the Summer Night Lights program in an effort to lower gang activity during the summer months. From June until September local parks have extended hours until midnight. Traditionally the summer months have the highest levels of gang activity.
On Saturday September 5, 2009 the Summer Night Lights Program, VANS shoes and Soles4Souls are combining forces to celebrate the success of the Mayor’s program. From 2-7pm at the Jackie Tatum Harvard Recreation Center there will be a skateboarding contest. I will be representing Soles4Souls as a celebrity judge. The winners of the skateboarding competition will be rewarded with new shoes from VANS!

Good Day All!
I will be returning to the LA Mission in Downtown Los Angeles for their annual summer block BBQ event. Soles4Souls is donating 6,000 pairs of shoes to men and women in need of a new pair! The event will be at the Los Angeles mission from 10am-2pm.
UPDATE: Actor Donald Faison of Scrubs will be with the Soles4Souls crew helping hand out shoes at the LA Mission. Thank you to Donald for making the effort to be a part of this great event!

Hello-
I am packing my bags and heading to Las Vegas for Miss USA 2009. I will be working for the Miss Universe Organization for the week.
Good luck to all the titleholders, especially my former Teen, Alison Cronin who is now Miss Massachusetts USA 2009. I truly believe every titleholder is a winner. My advice to the contestants is to have fun and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience.
For the second year in a row FASHION ROCKS THE UNIVERSE will be taking place at Planet Hollywood. I was a model in the show a year ago and had a blast. Below is a photo of the Sherri Hill gown I rocked on the runway.
See you in Vegas-

Hi All,
I will be representing Soles4Souls at the annual LA Mission’s Easter Celebration in Downtown LA on Friday.
From the LA Mission:
In traditional fashion, the Mission will provide over 3,000 hot meals for the homeless and hundreds of Easter baskets for the children. In addition to the normal festivities, the Los Angeles Mission Community Clinic will set up a station to clean the feet of our homeless guests! Volunteers must be at least 12 years old and the group limit is 10 including the leaders.
Thank you to the LA Mission for inviting Soles4Souls to help with the festivities.
Best,
Cristina
