Carla Thorpe

TV Production

dancing all night at pretentious Hollywood hotspots, knocking back screwdrivers at dive bars, obsessing about my appointment TV shows, IMing my friends while I'm supposed to be working, crushing on celebrities, beating boys at pool, picking songs on jukeboxes, eating club sandwiches at every given opportunity, playing tennis and basketball, conversing in Mean Girls quotes, doing jello shots at house parties, walking in Runyon Canyon, juggling random objects, DJing with my iPod whilst driving, watching movies at the Arclight, sitting during standing ovations, voddy redbulls with grenadine, dancing to cheesy pop music, laughing when i'm not supposed to, punching animals in the face, throwing rocks at small children, racial slurs, writing fake interests for my profile.

I have a degree in Literature but I mostly hate reading. Makes perfect sense. I do love a good slice of Vonnegut though. And The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing is adorable.

I have a deep and everlasting love of teen movies - Heathers, Mean Girls, Cruel Intentions, Clueless, Bring It On, I Know What You Did Last Summer, the Scream Trilogy etc. Classics like The Goonies, Back to the Future, Swingers, The Karate Kid. My beloved childhood favorite, Watership Down. Then random stuff like the Indy Jones Trilogy, Speed, Charlie's Angels, Team America, Se7en, Love Actually, anything with Rachel McAdams, Batman, Serenity, I'm all over the movie map.

unapologetically cheesy pop, hip-hop, techno/electronica, anything I can dance to, Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, The Killers, Sugababes, Mis-teeq, No Doubt, Missy

Lost, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The OC, America's Next Top Model, Alias, Related, Angel, ER, Family Guy, Arrested Development, Six Feet Under, Nip/Tuck, South Park, Laguna Beach, French and Saunders, Little Britain, Extras, The Office (UK version of course!), 24, Popular, Freaks &; Geeks. I love me some TV.

I grew up in a teeny tiny rural town in England with two objectives: 1) To live in the US of A and 2) To work in TV/film. Well, in 2002 I landed a sweetass job on a tv show so I giddily jetted over to LA and have been livin' the dream ever since. Thankfully I don't think I've been corrupted by the H-Town lifestyle just yet. I still love seeing the Hollywood sign and I am a world renowned Celebrity Spotter. Everyone I meet now thinks I'm Australian because of my half English/half American accent. I can range from vapid babble about celeb couples to the most deep and meaningful, psychoanalytical convos ever. I'm incapable of lying so I don't even bother trying it. I'm a cynic and a romantic. Sometimes I'll try and be witty. Sometimes I'll succeed. I love going out, dancing and drinking til I'm forcibly removed from the premises. I like thinking about how much fun there's still to be had living here :)

People who wanna go out dancing as often as I do. Pop culture geeks. Good kissers. Easy-going, genuine, playful, expressive, thoughtful, loyal people who appreciate the good stuff around them. People who think I'm rad and tell me so at least twice a day. hehe.
