Wheels On the Bus Go Round And Round


It's Like A Marriott Hotel on Wheels
"The Wheels on the Bus" is an annoying, but very popular children's song. It is popular on journeys to keep children amused because of its hypnotic and repetitive rhythm. In particular it is sung by pre-teens on bus journeys. It has been rumored that some adults have been known to check themselves into the local loony-bin after having their noggin exposed to the song on extended bus rides with high-strung sugar laden kids who sing the song for hours on end. If that was me, I would just consider putting a bullet in my noggin -just sayin'.
Buses and motor homes used in the entertainment industry are a little different. That's not how we roll. Prevost is the leader in building entertainer coaches (don't call them buses.) With most Prevost coaches having a price tag way north of the $500,000 mark, it is understandable that some of these coaches have all of the luxuries of home. Lookie at this:
These coaches can be customized and configured to the whim of the entertainer.  Some will have a full-sized queen bed room and then up to 6 additional sleeping bunks, while others have been customized to sleep up to 12. Each "bunk" has its own private video screen and entertainment console for those long drives in between gigs. Most have full kitchens, full size washer and dryers, several bathrooms, some with full showers, multiple plasma flat screen TV's, marble counter tops, etc. It's amazing what you can customize into 45' rolling vehicle.

Taylor Swift's customized coach from a recent tour
Recently, while filming a new "Men In Black lll" movie in New York actor Will Smith upset A SoHo neighborhood when his double-decker motor home (don't call it a trailer) was parked on their trendy street.

"The Heat" Will Smith's $1.8 million dollar mobile mansion
Will has even named the beast, "The Heat."  Technically the 55-foot vehicle is a double-decker mobile mansion that offers more space than a two bedroom, two bathroom New York city apartment. It has no less than 22 wheels and a gross weight of 30 tons. Yes, it is bigger than Mr. Bricks, but not by much.
Will paid $1.8 million for the luxury motor home, and it was eventually moved to an empty lot after the complaints from the neighborhood. In addition to "The Heat", Smith also brought a second 55-foot trailer, featuring his own full-sized gym. Both motor homes were made by Anderson Mobile Estates and Smith had it customized by creating makeup and wardrobe area, screening area, lounge and working area for his staff and writers.
So, I am sure many of you are wondering what type of luxurious entertainer's coach has my manager Mr. Bricks provided this Greek girl for her tours.  Here you go. No autographs please.

What's that old saying? Don't judge a bus by its tires.
Something is messed up with Mr. Bricks' coconut.
Blessings,

I Wanna Kick Chuck Norris' Butt


Ava Aston: The Greek Tomb Raider
I feel just a little bad saying I wanna kick the butt of a 71-year old man, because that would be elder abuse. But since the senior citizen in question is none other than Mr. "Tough Guy" Chuck Norris, I feel more justified. After all, if I don't kick his, he won't think twice about kicking my little Greek butt to Athens and back.
So do I really want to get into an altercation with the Chuckster? No, not really. However, what I seriously want is a great role in an action flick or action TV series where I can play a strong take-no-prisoners girl who fights her own battles and kicks some serious bootie. Think of me as a Blonde Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in training.
I think Hollywood is not writing enough action adventure films where the main character is a female, in fact they are really far and few between. All of the time on both the silver screen and on television it is usually all about a tough dude, and if there is a chick around, she is just an accomplice or a skanky girl friend. Very rarely is the girl the main butt-kicker. I want to change that. So, as an actress and as the newly self-appointed Czar of Action Movies I have put into development ("green-lighted" for those of you in the industry and in the know) a series of sequels to high profile action adventure flicks, and like a good reality series, there will be some really great plot twists.
Rocky XVX: Italy vs Greece
In the latest update of this classic Rocky franchise film, Ava the Greek is the first woman invited into the ring against the Italian Stallion and let's just say that Philadelphia's famous Liberty Bell is not the only bell that is rung.
Missing in Action 5: Operation Lazy Eye
In the long awaited fifth installment of the Missing in Action film series, a blonde recording artist decides to use her martial skills to influence her manager to finally get her a record deal. The manager will be played by Chuck Norris.
Avatar 3, Ava-Star 4: Winner Takes All
James Cameron's newest installment of an epic battle for the fate of Pandora pits the local tribe of Na'vi against recording star Ava in the first funky rock and roll action adventure since The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai  (Available on Netflix).
Terminator 6: Kalifornia Dreamin'
Arnold Schwarzenegger tries to reprise his role of  The Terminator but realizes that there's a new sheriff in town and it's a Greek Blonde girl. The movie will spawn a new catch phrase from The Terminator, "Maybe I won't be back"
Men in Black, A Greek Girl in Light Blue
Move over Will Smith. Light blue is the new black. An inter-struggle of the top-secret organization truly establishes that there is not just alien activity on Earth, but that Men are from Mars and Women are from Greece.
So do I want to kick Chuck Norris' butt? Well,  I really don't want to but if the script says so, sure why not. I'm an actress and I do what the director tells me to do.
Blessings,
Ava
