New Article: Olivia Munn

Olivia Munn has had a successful career in the entertainment industry, but that doesn't prevent her from having anxiety. The 32-year-old actress recently revealed that she suffers from clinical anxiety and trichotillomania, a disorder that causes her to pull out her eyelashes.

"I don't bite my nails, but I rip out my eyelashes," Munn told New York Daily News. "It doesn't hurt, but it's really annoying. Every time I run out of the house, I have to stop and pick up a whole set of fake eyelashes."
Munn has also opened up about her abusive stepfather, whom she refers to only as "the Devil." He was verbally abusive and critical of the youngster's every move.
"He would always say, 'you're not smart enough, pretty enough. You have no talent,' and it would knock me down, but it wouldn't keep me down," she told Ocean Drive magazine.
His words helped fuel her passion for acting but also could have contributed to Munn's psychological conditions, especially given that she was responsible for helping keep her siblings distracted during his tirades.
"I would hustle everybody into my room and launch into imitations of teachers or do scenes from movies … and that would take their minds off of the hell that was happening down the hall," Munn explained.

Now Munn has a successful career in both film and TV. She recently starred in the summer's hit "Magic Mike" and has a recurring role on HBO's hit drama, "The Newsroom." That success, however, does not alleviate her personal anxiety.
"I know how lucky I am, but I won't allow myself to get sucked in by all the talk. Talk is just for a moment. This career has to last for a long time. I'm aligning myself with people like Jon Stewart, Aaron Sorkin, Steven Soderbergh, and Paul Schneider so that this recent success won't be temporary," Munn explained.
"People tell me, 'Your work won't keep you warm at night.' But it does pay for my heat and down comforter, so it technically does," she added.

To my Australian Readers!!

How many of you read my little article in DOLLY magazine? It felt so great to tell my story :)

A Daily Routine

I hate my every day routine.
I wish I could just go out in public without having to make sure my hair is decent.
So of course, I have to take a shower. I then put mousse in my hair, blow dry it then apply hair spray, blow dry it again so the new growing hair doesn't stick up. What sucks is I pull from the front and the back of my hair is full and long. I basically have a mullet with bald spots. Lovely. So in attempt to make  my hair look semi normal, I put the back in a bun and put on a headband to cover the front. Depending on if my hair is cooperating this could take between 10- 30 mins. Sometimes my hair doesn't cooperate and I just get so fustrated because I am unable to hide a bald spot and then I jsut feel awful the whole day.

I dream of the day where I don't have to do this anymore. I can wake up, brush my hair a few times and go outside without a care in the world.
