Nude Hippo for LIFE

May 16, 2011 by Edward Silha

The world is full of uncertainty. However, one thing I do know is that you better choose wisely before getting a tattoo. They are permanent...as in this decision will stick with you for the rest of your life. However, if you put your ink in a hidden spot...it can be your little secret. While getting a tattoo your skin is pricked between 50 and 3,000 times per minute by a needle in a tattoo machine. Early tattoo methods included using picks, rakes, combs, or chisels to cut and puncture the skin before adding pigment. While that sounds thrilling, to me it's a wee bit scary. However, all of my fears were calmed once I stepped one of … [Read more...]

Beware of the BEARS…

January 22, 2011 by Edward Silha

It's the biggest Chicago sports uproar since the Hawks won the Stanley Cup! Can the Bears make it to the Super Bowl? For the sake of Chicago team spirit and riding on a wave of good luck, let's hope so. However, for the sake of my Green Bay boyfriend I am torn. The long standing rivalry between the two teams has officially entered my personal life! I am originally from the Northwest suburbs of Chicago and my mother was one of the original Chicago Honey Bears Cheerleader's. Therefore, you can bet your pom poms that my mother expects me to root for the Bears, as I should. Although, I want my boyfriend to think I'm the sexiest girl … [Read more...]

Hey, Refrigerator…”Say Cheese!”

January 18, 2011 by Edward Silha

Is your fridge camera ready? As in, would you take a photo of your refrigerator and feel comfortable posting it online for millions to see? Is yours clean and tidy or does it look more like a garbage dump filled with expired food? Well, I didn't have to worry too much when my producer asked for my fridge's photo. I didn't really have much in it! I learned the hard way that going grocery shopping A)while you're hungry is bad news and B)when I shop at Costco I can't eat all of my bulk food fast enough. Not to mention, I have a fabulous boyfriend that likes to cook for me. (Well, I guess he needs to eat as well. ) My fridge is … [Read more...]

Behind the scenes for The Dilemma.

January 14, 2011 by Edward Silha

Who doesn't love a movie with Vince Vaughn? He's funny, he's real and not to mention... incredibly tall. Vince is back on the big screen showing off his home town and mine, Chicago. I just left the "cast and crew" preview of "The Dilemma" and loved it. Sure, I might be biased after being on set for more than 10 hours for 2 days in a row with Vince Vaughn and Kevin James. (Let's be real, I think I even left one night with tears in my eyes because I was frozen and couldn't feel my feet from being laced in my skates for hours.) However, it was definitely worth it and I'm blessed to have the opportunity along with my fellow Ice Crew … [Read more...]

The Rehearsal of a NUDE HIPPO!

January 10, 2011 by Edward Silha

For the first time ever, go behind the scenes of a rehearsal for the half-hour version of NUDE HIPPO. See what happens between the talent and crew as they prepare for the offbeat magazine-style talk show! This was a fictional scripted concept of the weekly program. During the decade run on cable, there was never a rehearsal for any episode of NUDE HIPPO, (and it showed). However, if one actually did happen, this was what the producers thought one would look like. The story follows inter-office romance, dramatic encounters among fellow cast members and the behind the scenes confessions about one another. This program featured not … [Read more...]

One Goal…(Light)

December 15, 2010 by Edward Silha

"He shoots...he SCORES!" (insert announcer voice.) Patrick Kane is known for helping the Blackhawks achieve their "One Goal"; including the Stanley Cup winning "phantom shot." If it wasn't for the goal light flashing, most of his teammates couldn't even believe it was IN the net or that they had just won the Stanley Cup. Thank gawd for that goal light. And leave it the legendary; Steve Dahl, to bring that same excitement and passion for hockey into your own living room. Most of you recognize Steve Dahl from over 30 plus years on the radio or his podcast show. Sure, he loves sports...but he especially loves hockey. Dahl is a … [Read more...]
