Tizzy , my saviour

Mt assistant Tizzy is the bomb. I dont know where i would be without her. Without question she is there at my beck and call, forever ready to dive into whatever chore i need of her. On a good day she can just turn up to the office and answer a few calls. On a bad day i have had her running around, Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn picking up pieces, driving a client to me, covering for me when i dont want to be disturbed or even doing some unsavoury things for the sake of the agency. (which will not be talked about.) She is more than an assistant, she is an adventure.

Chilling Out with Jack Daniels

After a stressfull day at work i alwayd tend to unwind with a double Jack. I'm not talking about getting wasted mind you. I'm just talking about a Karmic ritual i have that sets my crazy world to rights.
Cocktails are for sociallising, Jack is for de-stressing

Chilling in with Jack Bauer

Since Friends, Frasier and Sex and the City left our screens i have found a new addiction.
24. I mean...i'm hooked!! I found it impossible to just watch 1 episode every week so i did the stupid thing and bought the box sets. Last month i virtually stayed in my jammies the whole day and watched Season 4 with my mate, Mo. We must have stank like skunks as we didn't move all day .I felt like i put on a 60 stone from the amount of TV treats, Soda and Pizza we wolfed down.
I'm taking a day off to watch Season 5 next week.

OOOPS! I did it again.

This morning i spent the rent money......on CHOO's!!
This is an addiction. I cant help it.

Playstation or Passion?

Byrnes plays with his playstation more than me. I could be wearing my sexiest underwear and it just doesn't faze him. He is more passionate about his computer games and sports than anything else. He explained to me that Passion for women is touch and personal feeling whilst Passion for guys stems from centuries of working, playing and fighting as a TEAM.
So when you often hear the phrase " That goal was better than sex", apparently that stems from the passion and adulation felt by a group all feeling the same sensation at the same time, being part of something higher than yourself but still obtainable. When guy's play games against themselves or an opponent the feeling is " I BEAT HIM!" or in a group " WE BEAT THEM". For us girlies who dont do group sports/ activities like playing computer games we only feel.." I WON!" or " WE WON!"
I still dont get it.

Evil Incarnate- Crystal Rose

Some people have too much free time on their hands. A certain someone spread a rumour that i freeload from my clients because Lauren bought me a $3,000 Cartier Watch..She posted a picture on my desk of me with "Pigeon of the Year "on it .If anybody has a record in that category it's her!!
Crystal and i have history going back to when i first came back to New York. I wont go into too much detail but let's just say i was a lot different looking back then. A sort of ugly duckling.
I was good friends with her until she showed her true colours.
I dont hate her for it, i thank her because without her evil, backstabbing way's i would never have got my job and that burns the bitch right down to her blackhearted soul. She plots every day to humiliate me.
Her day will come...believe you me.

Coffee-my drug of choice.

With enough coffee, i could rule the world!
Nuff said

My average day.

You may wonder what i do day and day out. I am a publicist to 6 clients. My top 2 at this moment in time are actor David deBartolo and Mactress (Model and Actress) Lauren Belle. I write articles that appear in print and also book and arrange television appearances and other media exposure for them.
I also hint or help out with style or fashion tips so they present themselves to the best of their potential in the media.
Also helping myself to some free gear in the meantime too.
Heheheheheehehehe!!

Shopping to me is not a word. It's a COMMA!!

My boyfriend asked me yesterday. Why do women shop so much? I wanted to say what was on the tip of my tongue...." Well, you aint gonna buy me anything!" But i quickly said it's like guys and their sports. The hunt of getting what you want at a bargain before the season starts. To me shopping is not a word...it's a Comma!!

Tizzy, my dance partner.

Tizz and i were back on it Saturday night at Usher's concert after-party. As usual we were first up on the dance floor after having our Cosmo and tequila shot ritual. I wish my man could come and dance with me ( even though he has 2 left feet) sometimes. You can imagine the amount of Creep-Repellant we have to spray around us to stop the pervs from copping a feel.
It's nice to have someone around to ward them off. And trust me, David is not my first choice.

I was born to be driven.

Dont mean to brag, but i looked good the other night. All expenses paid to one of my client's suave opening exhibition bashes. Topping off a rather good 48 hours of partying.
Nothing makes a woman feel more desirable than when she donns a black dress and heels at a posh occassion.
I thank my stylist Yvonne for my outfit and hairdo.
Mwah!!XX

Never too fat for shoes

You may wake up in the morning's feeling crap about yourself, or totally go into hiding after reading an article in a magazine about " CELEBRITY DIET'S". You may even be totally depressed after seeing a picture of Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss or Eva Longoria and say to yourself "No matter how i try
i can never get to look like that!" When i'm at my Tai Chi class my teacher usually gives me infinite wisdom with some kind of Zen teaching but i recall something she said to me about 2 years ago.
I complained to her that i was feeling down about myself . My weight had risen and i looked terrible when my life was in the sh***er after finding my boyfriend at the time was cheating on me (with someone i'd rather not mention ) . I felt nobody would look twice at me after wards and i was so depressed. Then the wierdest thing happened...


She just stared up to me , held my hand and calmly said-
" Youre Never Too Fat For Shoes!"
Bingo! That snapped me right out of it and that has been a
living motto ever since. So if you ever feel bad about yourself and need a pick- me up with a little retail therapy, keep that little saying in your mind.

Works for me.

The Crown Victoria

No, not anything to do with our beloved Royal family but the extremely annoying yellow things that buzz around Manhattan. The NYC cab. Trying to catch one when you really want one is like
waiting for a Northern line train on the tube.
I had to get to the airport to get to one of my parties i host in london and do you think i could get one of those things. You'd think they would stop for a woman but nnnnoooooooo.... they couldn't care less.
My guide for you girl's who are in the same position:
1. Stick your arm out like you are recieving a pass from a Quarterback.
2. Flash some flesh.
3.Run straight out in front of one going top speed. If they hit you and you survive. You can sue!
4. Flash some flesh. Usually works

Partying hard with The House of Rythym

Flew over to London for the weekend and hooked up with my good friend DJ Raw( aka
Rolph Webster) head Dj for the House of Rythym
& the Drums of Freedom. Their nights are a mixture of Soulful Disco House mixted with some
vibrant congo playing.
These guy's play at all of my parties i host and everybody dances like crazy. Tizz and i usually get the crowd started then everyone piles in.
Was a shame i had to catch my flight home but in the state i was in getting into my taxi i think it was a wise idea to leave before 1am.

Do i look like a morning person?

URRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!
My head kills this morning. Too much red wine and champagne last night
and i am grumpy as hell. In the morning i turn into Emperor Palpatine.
In one dark moment i could strike you down if you were to say anything
to me.
My neuron's are not firing in the morning's so on the morning of a hangover
STAY AWAY!!!!
ps. Piss off

Ray Of Sunshine

My boyfriend made a fuss of me the other night . His buddies picked me up from work. In a FIRETRUCK!!! WooooHOOOOO!!!
They dropped me off outside the Soho Grand hotel and at reception there were a dozen roses waiting for me with a note telling me to go up to the Penthouse. As i walked into the room there was Byrnes playing the piano.
I didn't even know he played piano!
He sang me a song called " Ray of Sunshine" before taking me into the bathroom where he had run a bath and filled it with petals. There were candles lit and a bottle of Red Wine open.
I nearly cracked up laughing because this is so unlike him but he grabbed me up in his arms and he just fell into the bath with me fully clothed. Then we both cracked up laughing.
What went on before room service came up ( i think you can guess) shall remain silent.
In the morning before we checked out, he played me that song one more time.

"It's so hard to find the Ray of sunshine
When the windows to your soul are filled with rain
Wipe away the tears; stay strong: Hold on
You've gotta keep reaching for the skies because the sun will shine again

This world can make you feel like you're not beautiful
sometimes your reflections make you feel worse
It don't mean a thing to me what you see on the outside
deep inside yourself is where you're gonna find out what you're worth


Diamonds only shine because of the pressure
You can't let your spirit die just because it hurts
It won't always be this way, you're gonna wake up one day
to a Ray of sunshine"

Shaking what God gave me in the Village.

We were out in force last night celebrating Tizzy's birthday with Yvonne and got totally wrecked. Every now and then a girl let's her hair down, applies the old ILM (Industrial Lipstick and Make-Up) gets her legs out and acts like she's 18 again.
We took over the dance floor when the RnB came on and went for it.

I dont mean to boast but when i get down and boogie i am usually the centre of attention.

One guy told me he nearly got Cataracts from watching me move my hips.
As for Tizzy, she is half Brazilian so she knows how to shake that ass.
I swear i will never do tequila again though. My stomach feels like i have a gerbil
running around in it.

Coffee recovery

After such a bender i always end up at Eddies Diner for a big breakfast. With a gallon of coffee. Thats another thing i love about NYC. Refills!!
And after a night like last night you definetly need Coffee on the drip.
My Motto : " If it ain't Caffienated, it' ain't Coffee"!!

My Fortress Of Solitude

Batman has the Batcave, Superman has the Fortress of Solitude. Im not sure what Spiderman has. I think he just swings back to his wifes East Side condo or something. Anyway i digress..My place i like to get away from everyone and calm my mind is Central Park. Central Park has the most calming effect on you.I sit in Central Park and drink my Frappaccino because as soon as i sit down to a cup of hot coffee at work i will have to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

Im Feeling Down.

I'm on a downer and did'nt go into work today. Sometimes you just need the time out to reflect on where your problems lie. I cried almost thinking about them.
1. Havent seen boyfriend in a week and he is starting to get narked off. He went off on a boy's night the other day and god knows where they ended up.
2. David Debartolo's antics keep him in the tabloids and i'm finding it hard to write anything favourable about him even though that's what i get paid for.
3. Ive got bills mounting up because of my expensive shopping habits. My credit card clutches on to my purse screaming every time i go to take it out.
4. Some promotional items i needed 2 days ago mysteriously ended up in our buildings boiler room. ( 2 guesses to who put them there). Crystal was seen down there by a colleague. She said that she thought it was the storage room. Yeah right!
I am feeling a bit vunerable at the moment. I just want a cuddle.

Oh My Gucci!!

Today i treated myself to a $400 pair of Gucci shoes i have had my eye on for a month.
Funny thing is.......... i was only going for a bagel.

Fashionista

Went with my boss Toni Jackson to La Perla's Lingerie fashion show yesterday night.
The show was great as i saw a few pieces that i want for myself and a few for those special occasions when i treat Brynes. Was good just to hang out with Toni too. I dont usually speak
on a social level with her. It is usually me bursting into her office to tell her i have finished my
work with a minute to spare or her wanting to find out if i can say anything favourable about my clients. Anyway, we ended up at the Soho Grand for a few cocktails afterwards.
On her of course. Have you seen how much a Cosmo costs in there?

New York Nights

No place on earth beats New York in the evening. The cityscape comes to life in a cavalcade of lights and excitement. Times square itself is so bright it looks like the afternoon has come back for a few hours.
I love the sense of the dark being overpowered by the glimpses of light on every corner giving off a sense of dread and then security.
I often just pick up myself and go for a walk. Sometimes i walk around the corner, other times i can walk for blocks. Watching the Empire State Building in all it's glory still takes my breath away reminding me that i made the right choice in living and working in this great city.
I LOVE NYC Nights!!

Eating Alone

Byrnes is off fighting fires and im left here at Puccini's
Italian restaurant with a little flame of my own.
We cant even have dinner together these days with our schedules.

Well, after my Rigotonni al Amatriciana i'll head on down to Lou's
apartment to watch some more Jack Bauer in 24.

The Matrix..............sucks

Imagine this.... you wake up early in the morning and get the train into work at 9,0clock. You work for 4 hours before having a 1 hour lunch break which is really a 20 minute lunch because you have to take out the time it takes to get to the diner/ deli/ restaurant and the time it takes to get back to work.
At 5 you finish work and get to the train (not getting a seat because of rush hour) and reach home in an hour and a half if you are lucky.
Once you get in you have to think about dinner and if youre cooking it will take at least another hour which also means it is 7.00-8.30pm before you eat. You may have a little time to watch tv before you get into your bed but before you get in you have to sort out your clothes for the next morning.
You do this every day for 5 days...religiously!! Taking in the fact that you have to pay for travel yourself and are already losing money before you step out of the door.
It reminds me of the Matrix. We are all part of a system that we are totally reliant on and anybody who is a threat to the system is dealt with....by the agents. Otherwise known as the Taxman/ feds etc.
Man...... the Matrix sucks. As you can see...... i'm having one of those day's.

Something's Gotta Give!!!

Ive done it again. His one night off this week and i have let him down. I have to work late again so i phone Byrnes and tell him . I can hear his deep exhalation of air (meaning " What excuse does she have this time?"). By now he must be absolutely fed up with me. I know I would be.
No matter how hard i try to be in his life my work alway's get's in the way of me having a stable relationship.
I promise to make it up to him next week. For his birthday.
I better not mess that up.

Shall We Dance

Had a bit of a boogy at the Globo magazine awards at the Soho Grand.

Good thing i took those Salsa lessons as that's all the band were playing. David wasn't too bad either and i was most surprised how good a salsa dancer he was. Dont think i didn't realise how much his hand moved down my butt. I know he has respect for me and the fact i am already taken but that hasn't stopped him from flirting around with me.....bigtime.

Or am i flirting with him?

Smoking Hot Joe- Photographer and Chic Magnet

Today i hired the most gorgeous man i have laid my eyes on- Joe Blake.
He is a freelance photographer that has worked with the best in the business on 4 different continents. A mixture of George Clooney meets Han Solo , he is cocky, confident withought being arrogant and completely aloof to the fact that he is sooooo hot!!
I know i should not be writing this stuff as i have a beautiful man at home ,but hey, if it's gotta be said, it's gotta be said. Got to make sure that Crystal does not get wind of him.
Maybe i'll book him in for my next 3 shoots.

Birthday Blues

Last night it was my man's birthday.....and i messed up. I had soooo much on my plate and i thought i could get it done and race back in time
to give him his birthday treat. Dinner in a swanky
Upper East Side hotel, Strawberries and Crystal champagne ending with a candle lit bath and a bit of loving. Unfortunatley David's photoshoot ran over schedule and i ended up being 2 hours late to the hotel.
Byrnes had left the hotel 15 minutes after i ran in .
I phoned and phoned but he didn't pick up.....
I'm such a crap girlfriend to him.

Snake in the Grass

I was recently in a club in lower manhattan named "Village Underground". Lou was in there after work for a few wind down cocktails after she

had busted her ass working on David's promotional poster for his new film ' Diamond in the Rough'.
Located on 130th West 3rd street it is the place to hear live music in NYC.
With overcrowded trendy people and the occasional celebrity sighting it is naturally one of the 'places to be seen' on a weekend.

We were just chatting away as per usual about our day, running around 5th Avenue and working on how i was going to salvage getting David deBartolo off of the front cover of 'Stars Weekly'

(as he was seen with sucking face with Lindsey Lohan in Central park.... when he is actually dating his co-star Jess Bowen.) when Lou spotted from out of the corner of her eye David with a mystery raven haired woman that looked all too familiar...

CRYSTAL!!! Here she was schmoozing all over my client not realising i was less than 10ft away.

I thought of going over and saying something, or grabbing the back of her head and throwing my double Jack and coke in her face but my better judgement said to sit back and watch how it played out with her. Maybe she had seen me and was just trying (yet again) to get under my skin.

Just wait till i get David in my office come Monday morning. I need to put a few things straight with him.

Katie's Diary Pages

Hi there, readers. Welcome to the diary page of Katie Rogers. Here you can see pictures of my dearest friends and catch up on the stuff that goes on through my already hectic life.

There is so much that i have to say and not enough time to say it so this i felt was the only way for people to really get to know the real Katie Rogers.

I shall endeavour to write and keep up to date as many things as possible over the year.

Snoochesxxx
