OMG Gladiators. Prepare to die. Guess who I interviewed this weekend:
and the photo above… whatevs!)
but Black…and short…and poor…and not famous…where was I going with this??
5 Reasons Bellamy and I are twinning:
- Not a makeup girl despite a glitzy past
- Great hair
- High and bubbly energy
- Makes awesome faces and sound effects when she speaks
- Drop dead gorgeous (looks around to see who’s buyin’ this part)
We got to interview Bellamy about her role in A Wrinkle in Time and her long dope-ass run in Scandal. Her answers to the questions we asked REALLY and TRULY hit home for me.
Her biggest takeaways from her character Mellie Grant:
So, first of all, you show up and you do your best work, even when it’s two lines, and you might not be there for a minute. You never know what’s going to turn into your dream. You never know which lottery ticket might pay, so always showing up for yourself, and doing your best work, regardless.
This was something I needed to get smacked over the head with. My blog has been sagging lately and I have not been putting in 110% effort like I used to. I’m straightening up now. Promise.
Mellie does not care if people are comfortable. I want everybody to be happy all of the time. I would make you all coffee if I could. Mellie could care less. So, spending 16 hours a day as sort of like, “my way or the highway” has been very informative. I don’t think I will ever lean that direction, but it does remind me that there are many ways to be. And many acceptable ways to walk through this life.
THIS was deep to me. Like Bellamy, I want people to be happy and feel good in my presence. But I have recently realized that I would “smallup” myself to ensure people feel comfortable.

Lately I have said F That! And just been my big, loud, foul-mouthed, open, honest, somewhat crazy, outgoing self no matter if people are comfortable or not. It is FREEING you guys. Try it.
She’s so flawed. But she has such big dreams, and she’s — she’s doggedly loyal and will fall on her face, but she will stand up and walk forward, like the Terminator! Like, all of that skin just like, hanging off her face? I marvel at her. It’s been a great, great gift. Not just the fact of having a job, but the fact of getting to be her.
How dope is that!?
After the interview, Bellamy took (multiple) photos with everyone and played around like one of the girls. I absolutely love her energy. I bet her aura is a sparkley rainbow.
