To say the past few months after the WSOP have been a whirlwind would be an understatement. Looking back things have always been quite busy, but this is the first time the momentum has doubled if not tripled. Quite possibly this is due to letting go of all the things that hurt or brought me down. I had to completely change my lifestyle and even my surroundings, if only for little while. Focusing

Today I finally take a sick day and have time to finish up some business and hopefully get my video blogs up and working. Actually I'm feeling much better after eating soup and drinking tons of water. It's not the flu (thank goodness), but most likely a mixture of dehydration, cabin fever and too many Coors lts with Gavin Smith and the boys. LOL. Now that the main event is getting down to their

Morning everyone! Well I can sadly say I will not be at this year's final table. *sigh* Yesterday I needed a day off after I busted day 2 playing the Borgata Poker Open. I wasn't quite upset as I was more frustrated and needed to process everything that happened on both days of play. I'll be finishing up my write ups on that and the days leading up to the main in my next few blog posts that

Today's the day I've been focusing on for the past few weeks and I'm so excited it's finally here. I'm playing the Borgata Poker Open's WPT main event. Right now I'm getting ready and I'll be heading down to play, but thought I'd squeeze in a blog to say hello and thank you to everyone for all their support and good luck wishes. I have two other blog posts that will be up later tonight as my

Alright kids the weekend is finally here! What's every one's plans? If you didn't say coming to Atlantic City to play the Borgata Poker Open, you might want to reconsider. Here's my personal top ten list on why everyone should head on down. Unlike Letterman these will be in no particular order... and not quite as funny.10. $3,500 WPT main event. It's like you get a coupon for 65% off on a

Last night was a long one as I played from noon to about midnight cashing 25th in Borgata's Ladies Event that brought in 269 women ( well make that 267 1/2) for a fun day of poker. Now the term "fun" can be viewed in many ways. Let's just say I was prepared for comedy, as I've learned from playing in these events since 2005 that while some might call it poker, I prefer to call it

Here we are back at Borgata in Atlantic City. After 3 years I STILL get butterflies rumbling around in my tummy seeing the "Welcome to Borgata" sign. Man, I love this place! I can think of so many perks that this hotel and casino has to offer when others on the tournament trail completely fall short. My next few blogs will be going over the many reasons why, but for now let's get caught up with

For the longest time I've been my hardest critic. Always trying to make everything perfect. Always striving to do better. Always wanting to make sure "My Life" was worth it. All of the pain and traumatic experiences I've lived through must have all happened because... my life will have some meaning. This f*'d up thought constantly pulls at my being each day and makes me so driven. And yet nothing

Closing in on the WSOP I finally get a little free time to write a blog. I'll be writing more and adding many photos and videos from this point on as my days are easing up. Yet again I've let too much time pass and not quite sure how to go about a wrap up. Any suggestions would be mighty helpful. Here's just a few video blogs from the last one I posted. I hope you enjoy them as I'm still

Hey everyone! Long time no blog, but many posts are on their way... and tons of pictures too! Alright first off this video blog needs a disclaimer. Since I don't use my web cam- ever- this video gets blurry. I probably shouldn't have the camera on my bed, but I'll save that piece of advice for the second vlog. And hey... it can only get better from here! ;)Bisous! xoxoxwww.lavolv.com (Red Carpet

These past two days have been a dream come true. I'm having the best time of my life with the sister I've always wanted. Alex gave me one of the best presents I've ever received: 30 things to do on my 30th birthday. Two days in and we have already gone through almost all of them plus more. I want to list everything and keep twittering, but I also want to enjoy this short amount of time here.

First I'd like to thank everyone for all the Birthday wishes and love sent via Email, Facebook and Twitter. I seriously can't stop smiling!! It's overwhelming how many people I do have in my life that care and support me. I'm ashamed of myself for isolating and pulling away from everyone when things were falling apart and couldn't snap out of my depression. I'm forever grateful to have each and

Is it me or are the boxes in my new place multiplying? Almost 1/2 of the house is unpacked and in it's proper place. The other half just sits there as I stare at them wishing I could wrinkle my nose like Samantha and they'd disappear. Ugh. Moving sucks. Although I am quite happy and content in my new surroundings. The way the light enters the house makes the energy uplifting and welcoming. Much

I have way too many clothes!!I'm almost completely moved out of my little place called home... and what a home it was! The bare walls and empty bedrooms make this house seem unfamiliar and bleak. Packing away my things I repeatedly smiled to myself in gratitude for each memoir I've kept over the years. Mr. Teddy you're old!! Not being one for dust collectors I pride myself in keeping my place

Over the past few days I've been taking a bit of personal time to do only the things that make me happy. Having to work on the Real Deal 6 days a week I sandwich my "fun" time around the show. It seems to be working as my spirit feels lighter and I have a constant smile on my face.I've come to the realization that I need to focus more on myself and be happier with the situation I'm in at the

No more bumming out for this girl! I've had the most amazing day (blog soon to come) and all because I put my foot down after reading this quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer: Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change. Also it helped that my mom has now jumped on the band wagon of sending mass emails, but managed to send me the funniest thing I've heard/read in a long time. Talking

Well I left y'all hanging again and I must apologize. Things have been quite hectic and almost impossible to catch up. Sadly I've been a little bummed out as well and I can't stand writing when I'm down. I really enjoy writing good news and posting random funny blogs for my friends and family... at least I think my blogs are funny.Honestly this past holiday was not easy on me and being alone on

I'm home after a verrrry long day my friends. I feel like the energizer bunny that keeps going and going. Thank the Lord for redbull and coffee as I'm going on 3 hours of sleep! Last night I hosted a party at The Bank for the 4 year anneversary of BLUFF and the November cover I did with Christina Lindley. From the Real Deal show I went to Planet Hollywood to Maria Ho and Tiffany Michelle's room

I voted last night and at the very last minute... no joke. I arrived with 12 minutes to spare and not one person in line! Since I didn't go to the exact polling place (20 minutes away) I had to vote on a provisional ballot. F*ckin lame! This only allowed me to vote for the president and congressional elect. Instead of using the new monitors to vote I had a tangible ballot where I had to complete

So today has been a little down for me and my best friend Galina knew exactly how to make me laugh. I planned on staying in my pajamas and doing nothing but watch Dexter and Californication that I missed from Sunday. On top of that I made the decsion not to go out and vote... until I saw this video Galina sent me:In case you actually want to know who the poker pros are voting for (if they really

It's truly amazing how 6 months can change your life. We all know I was hanging on to my last rope earlier this year and I must say I never knew life could be this grand. I only have a few minutes to write this blog, but I wanted to say thank you to all my family and friends for being there when I needed you most.

I am very excited and must say it like it is.There is so much to catch everyone up on. I'll make sure to write my blogs tomorrow while I watch my Cowboys redeem themselves.

Something about today, not sure exactly what, has kept a smile on my face all day long. I love days like these. No matter what negative arrives you can quickly brush it off and see about a million other positive things right before you. This morning I woke up only hitting the snooze 3 times. Oow ooow! If you know me, I can let that thing go ALL morning if I have to. Talking to a few of my

I'm going to start writing down all the signs I keep seeing. Maybe they're not really signs, just moments of irony or sheer coincidence. What ever you'd like to call it, these fleeting moments bring a smile to my face and almost feel like my soul taking a deep breath.This morning was amazing.

This past week has been incredible. Ending one of my top 5 favorite trips, shooting the cover of BLUFF, beginning a new chapter in my life and now getting ready for the show to start. Here's a pic of the stage of the Real Deal! I'm so excited for the show. As soon as I walked into the theater last week it started to sink in. I'm going to be the hostess of the Real Deal! OMG!

I've finally had some time to sit down and write these past few days. Right now I'm in Atlantic City at Borgata for two weeks. The Borgata Poker Open has kicked off with record breaking numbers and lots of bad players. So hurry your butts out here! This time they've guaranteed the prize pool of the main event for 5 million dollars! You can read up on that and all the new things going on in

This is one of my favorite photos to stare at. A sea of clouds into infinity with a single small wooden boat to take on the journey. I like to visualize being on the boat... my quick way to escape the world, if only for a few minutes. After I'm done it seems as though the peace and quiet transcends and I'm calm and happy inside.The photo of the sky is the exact opposite of the sky above me. It's

Last night I couldn't take it anymore! After only 41 hours of being on the master cleanse, I broke down and had a friend run to Carl's Jr and buy me a chicken sandwich. Please forgive me Etay. It was the best chicken sandwich I had ever tasted in my life! Yummy BBQ sauce oozed all over my fingertips as I inhaled it as fast as humanly possible. I believe it took 25.6 seconds total. It was quickly

Aside from Lahaina with Etay and Shannon... maybe the video black jack makes it taste better??*I always forget how much I love food until I do the Master Cleanse. I seriously love to eat. On average I eat 5-6 small meals a day. My favorite things to eat: Thai, Italian, Sushi/ Japanese... actually to make this list is pointless because any type of

The master cleanse dropout is back at it again. Day one of the lemonade diet has begun. 9 more days to go! This time I'm not doing it alone. My friend Etay (picture above at Stoneys) is going to suffer through this with me. After this Master Cleanse you're going to see a new and improved Lacey. I'll be healthier, leaner, more focused and most importantly sober. I can't wait!

I've been going through all my things getting ready for my move and I must say I'm quite proud of myself. I'm finding things I forgot I had. Multiple little treasures in dusty boxes tucked far away in a closet. All my old photos, covers, and videos were amongst the boxes I tackled today. Man does it feel good to be productive! I have so many good things to tell everyone and have to wait just a

Well no love in the Razz tournament my friends. I bricked out and paired up every hand of ay 2. Congatulations to Barry Greenstein for winning the bracelet! Lucky for me there are more stud events coming up. I'll keep everyone posted. I hope everyone has a great Father's day today. xo

I'm posting this commercial for my family that hasn't seen it yet, but I do have half a blog written about the commercial already, so you'll see that soon. :)I realized scrolling down my blog that I first off have to say that I'm a Master Cleanse dropout.

Lucky for you guys I'm up and can't fall asleep. This will be one of many blogs, as my insomnia is in full effect. It might also be the two 5 hour energy drinks I had today. Hmmmm...Today was my first day back playing at the WSOP this year. I decided to start with the ladies event to ease back into the swing of things. Good news is I'm finally getting my mojo back. Bad news is I busted with only

My new friend that I've been reading is Blue Like Jazz, by Donald Miller. I'm going to be sad when I'm done reading it. It takes on a spiritual view of Christianity without the emphasis on the Bible. Instead it goes though personal experiences with colorful words and hilarious dialogue. I haven't finished it yet, but I recommend it to all my nerdy friends. ;)

Tonight I begin the process of a modern day torture method called the Mater Cleanse, or otherwise known as the Lemonade Diet. I'm actually not doing this to loose weight like in the past getting ready for Fashion Week. This time is for getting my body back in balance and healthy. If you haven't heard of it or don't understand what I'm talking about, go check it out for yourself. :) You can buy

Well, I'm back in Vegas and the World Series of Poker starts next week.. I have been ordered to snap the f* out of it and force myself to be happy, regardless of all the bad things going on in my personal life. Those are things that I can't control; And the things that I can change, I must. God, please give me the courage. I'm not going to apologize for not writing as much as I should. I have

I just busted from the 1k bounty tournament here at the Coast to Coast. Bummer, but It's almost impossible to be tilted when you play in Vancouver. The second I walk outside I always seem to reset and find something fun to do. I'll be going more into detail about the tournament itself on my poker listings blog, but I must say I love playing here at the River Rock. Even with a $1k bounty on my

It has been quite some time since I last blogged, with the exception of one poker listings blog I did last week. Things have not been as great as they should, but everything is looking up. I'm alive and having the time of my life up here in Vancouver for the next few weeks. This time I will force myself to blog and say goodbye to the past. If you want to get all the fun details on the road trip I

A good friend forwarded an email that will truly make you laugh. I had to share it with y'all. -----> Turn up your sound and click on the website below. This accident happened in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and you must listen to it. It is a phone call from a man who witnesses a car accident involving four elderly women. It was so popular when they played it on CHUM FM that they had to put it on

Today I saw something that made me smile. I feel it's important in life to look at the positive things and only focus on what makes you happy. Being a negative person for a good chunk of my life has forced me to reconsider what exactly is my main purpose. To be miserable and always complain only making my life worse. Or be happy and appreciate the good things in life regardless of all the

I found an old contact sheet from when I was 17 and modeling. This was back in the day when you didn't have digital cameras to look back and fix anything. I specifically remember this shoot and how much fun it was. Perfect day, with the exception of wind, but I was with my favorite photographer and makeup artisst. The wind interference was at least fun to laugh about. If you look at the last pic

The only store that you'll find more crap than a saturday morning garage sale, and it's cheaper too. Heath and I were running errands and needed to buy some hangers. I had the bright idea of going to the .99c store, since it was next to where we were shopping at. If you haven't been in one of these stores and need a good laugh you must head over there... pronto. Last time I had been inside one

I'm finally back in Vegas after a long trip to Atlantic City for the Borgata Winter Poker Open. This month I've decided that I'm going to be spending time with loved ones and relaxing. Which means no LAPC for me, but plenty of Venetian Deepstack tournaments to get my poker fix. Stop by and say hello if you see me at the tables. Flying in Friday night I was greeted in baggage claim with a huge

My trip to Borgata has been a great one. I have one more full day tomorrow and go home on Friday. I'm packing up most of my clothes tonight. This way I can enjoy my last day with out franticlly trying to fit all my clothes into my bags last minute. A little travel tip I learned years ago, but never really applied until today. These past three weeks have really put me on the right path in my life.

Today is the 12th day I've spent here at Borgata without leaving the property once. Have I gone crazy yet? No, actually I can't complain. Except for the slight feeling of "Groundhog's Day" and mixing all the days up, "Was that yesterday?" it's been a much needed trip. I haven't blogged in a few days. I did write one right after I busted from the modified shootout. I had cashed, but suffered a

Yes I swear it had to be him! Chilling at the beautiful indoor pool, he left the neon yellow banana hamock in Kazakhstan and sported a red speedo. I was able to spend 45 minutes watching him, in awe of course, while I ran on the treadmill. One of the great things about Borgata is that you always have eye candy everywhere you look.

Hey everyone! Yesterday was my last day in Las Vegas 'till Febuary. For the next few weeks I'll be in Atlantic City staying at Borgata. I'm really excited to take some much needed time to enjoy playing poker, working and relaxing here. Borgata's hotel, casino and spa is by far the best on the East Coast. It also ranks in my top favorite casinos worldwide. This time I'll be doing video

Well the 13 hour flight was awsome and so was the airplane food... pause... NOT! I've almost had my fill of traveling, which never happens for me. Must be the jet lag talking. Either way, my stay in the Philippines was the best one yet. After the last blog, I made the decision to turn off my computer for the rest of the trip. There was so much to do and less than a week left. The Ring of Fire

We are one day away from the fight and things are b-u-s-y. I'm lucky to get some free time while Heath is running around doing interviews from tv show to radio and back to more tv shows. While I'm waiting in the room for an inhouse massage, I decided this is the only time, untill after the fight, that I'll get a chance to blog. So far we have explored all around Manila, but have yet to travel to

I'll be posting a blog all about that trip in the next few days.This past week I've been in the Philippines and can't even describe how much fun it's been.

Things have been pretty busy these past few weeks. Although keeping up with everything is not an easy task... I always like to say, "Busy is good." In less than a week I'll be leaving for Vancouver, British Columbia. The River Rock Casino Resort will be hosting the British Columbia Poker Championships (BCPCs) next week. I can't even explain how excited I am! Vancouver is one of my facorite places

This past week I was at the Palms Casino for the taping of the US Poker Bowl. Instead of playing poker I was doing my "new role" as a tv host. This poker tournament was a little different than usual... 25 teams competed for 1 million dollars. ( Steve Dannenman's team Cincinati won the tournament.) As this is a new concept, many players have their own opinions on team poker and not all of them are

This summer I spent 48 days (in a row) at the World Series of Poker, held at the Rio, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Being the 3rd year for me I was excited to be back, regardless of what had recently happened. My online sponsor dropped the entire team without notice right before the wsop. Luckily I was hired to be a correspondant for the world series of poker website. This gave me a chance to be more

A little over a week ago I got a call from Newby asking if I wanted to do a restaurant review with Denise, Julie Mac and Andrea ( the girls from http://www.rawvegas.tv/ ) and of course I said hell yeah. After a long a stressfull WSOP... a girls night out was exactly what I needed; not to mention the fact that ANYTHING to do with Rawvegas is going to be fun.The restaurant was Dick's Last Resort in

Things have been quite busy and needless to say I've had zero time to blog about it. You can watch the interviews I've been doing at www.worldseriesofpoker.com

Well I have exactly 5 minutes that I've allowed to keep everyone posted. Getting into Vancouver around midnight I was expecting to just see the driver who was picking me up at the airport. As I walked out, I hear my name coming from somewhere. I look up and on the floor above me, I was pleasantly surprised to see three of my favorite Canadians waving and smiling! I love you guys, that was so

We're just a few days away from the Johnny Chan Poker Classic at the River Rock Casino in Vancouver, British Columbia. (wow that's a long sentance) I've been looking forward to this event for the past two months. I'm quite certain that this will be a great tournament. My game is at it's best right now and I have a gut feeling the next few tourneys I play in will prove it to be true. This

Must have put the "friday the 13th is coming up" to the back of my mind. Creepy, but only cuz everyone says so. Why couldn't it just as well mean that really awsome things happens on Friday the 13th?? Yeah that's what it is. So anyhoo you must've guessed it... I'm working on my second cup of coffee to get this day started. Day 5 of the Birthday Week has begun. My lil sis is coming in town as well

Soapbox please.... ahem.... why is it that chicks have to hate eachother without even knowing them? You women need to get some self confidence... seriously I'm saying that in the nicest way possible. Playing poker and modeling are probably to two worst places to befriend another female. Why? Shouldn't we be supportive?In two fields where ALL WE HAVE IS EACH OTHER why would you turn your back to a

SEMA is now over!!! Yeah! Four days was pushing it this year. Faviola helped to make this show fun as hell with out her don't know what I would have done. As we speak I'm waiting for the flight attendant to tell me to shut off my computer. 14 hours and 47 minutes is going to be very interesting. Wonder what I can come up with to pass this time. hehehe. I'll give an update on how SEMA went as

..SEMA has been pretty fun this year, thanks to my camera phone. Favi and I are having fun getting our pictures taken and being gawked at every 45-55 seconds. Good stuff. The days are pretty long... 9-5 so I came up witha way to spice it up. ASA (our company) had a few hats for the buyers. We figured we might as well give away a few... but... for a small price. Since I can't post these videos on

After doing a fashion show for Junker I decided to take all that adreneline and put it to good use.So I decided to shoot some *ish up. Must be the Texan in me.

Just woke up about an hour ago and I can't stop thinking about my nightmare, so maybe if I write it out it'll go away. I had some pretty crazy dreams last night, but this was the last and most memorable.I was walking on the strand to my house when I saw an airplane down in the water where the waves are crashing. There is a red and yellow rope that is tied to a wall attached to the airplane

I made a final decision today and I must stick to it. Why is letting go so hard to do? I always said I was done, but would be weak and go back. Knowing very well that it was wrong and I would be hurting myself again. The hardest part is the finality of it all. Now I'm faced with the unknown. Unlike most people I hate surprises. I love the fact that the next 50 years of my life has an outline to

I survived, but the feet may have to be amputated. LOL. Yep my toes hate me right now along with my stomach. Yesterday was the last day of working for Seven Jeans. Taking Teresa's advice I bought a new pair of shoes that worked out great. Durring lunch I set the alarm on my phone and took a nap in the back dressing room. It must have been a sight to see, cause TK and a few others peeked their
