Urban Dictionary Number Three

Never let it be said that Pete and Josh don't know how to seize an opportunity.

The annual Doritos "Crash the SuperBowl" contest has come around, and they decided to make an Urban Dictionary-themed entry.

The term is Dorit-O-Face, and if you'd like to know what it means... see for yourself:

Some photos from the second Urban Dictionary shoot...



Most of you probably recall the wildly popular "L-Bomb" video that's taken the internet by storm. (I think it's got like a 99% on Funny or Die, that's got to count for something.)

Well if you do, then you'll be glad to know that Pete and Josh are doing yet another humorous example of Urban Slang (and they're taking me and Gary along for the ride!)

Next up: Premature Evacuation, and if you don't know what that means, don't fret, there will soon be a video to explain it to you! The shoot was loads of fun, and counts officially as my first on-camera sex scene. Thank God it was funny, because that cut extremely into the awkwardness.



Although I've got to say the best part about filming a sex scene is that you basically get to nap in between shots. In fact here is a photo of Gary doing just that, while I text The Boyfriend, because how often do you get to text your boyfriend while in bed with another man and have it NOT be skanky?




Other exotic locations for this shoot include an air mattress in Josh's office, but the most fun was the day we did the club scene, and Gary and I got down with a bunch of extras and drank flat soda to the sounds of Pandora Radio's "Techno" station.


Everyone who helped out for the whole shoot got actual free drinks at the end, but it was worth it just to see Gary wearing that shirt...



Video coming soon! And it's going to be a good one!

More Photos from the Urban Dictionary set...


This shot also took place in the Waldorf. It was one of those fancy, dream sequence shots where the camera holds on a face and the room is spinning in the background. Only, we didn't have the right kind of equipment, so we just worked with what we had.

We got a baggage cart from the bellhops, and clamped the camera to one side so it wouldn't move. Then I got on it and hung off the side while Josh and Gary spun it around.

It was a lot of fun, but left me extremely dizzy afterwards.

And I'm pretty sure the hotel staff was a bit suspect about why we needed this. Also why Gary was wearing a gold shirt.

Urban Slang, Episode Two

Gary and I just started shooting the next Urban Slang short with Pete and Josh. And since the L-Bomb got such a great response, I can't wait for this one to be done!

The shoot is a little more complicated. We need to find a bar or a nightclub for one of the shoots, and since we have no budget and are relying only on people who love us, this is a little tricky. But it's a huge amount of fun.

Our first shoot was at the Presidential Suite of the Waldorf Towers. You needed a key to use the elevator. Two of my friends were in the shoot as well, and they saw Ben Kingsley on their way up to the room. I was like, "How did I even get in here?"

It was absolutely gorgeous. And for a small shining moment, I pretended that I was an important enough person to actually stay in one of these rooms.

Last week Josh and Pete screened the L-Bomb for over 500 people. The Youtube video has over 1300 views in 3 months, and the Funny or Die page has almost another 300, with a 96% vote saying it's funny. Huzzah!

So I'm extremely excited that we're continuing with the series, in the midst of shooting and editing the pilot, Max August: Private Eye, which is the entire reason I got involved with these guys in the first place.


After I wrapped, before I left the hotel for the day, I went into the bedroom and jumped on the bed. I figured it was my last chance to jump on the bed in a Presidential Suite.

I mean, here's hoping it's not, but it might be.
