Ally That is an amazing bio! What a deep and true look at who you are. Great blogger and breat bio'er as well. What a journey to who you are today. Thanks for sharing!

So I've been thinking how to amp up the Bio's page once again. I suppose, if you've written a bio about yourself and people read and get to comment on it that's about it. I mean, I'm sure I could go through mine, re-read it and come up with a totally different set of stuff to write about. I mean, I do have almost 31 years to write about.

Instead...let me bring you this idea Rockstar Friends....

Time to make Rockstar Bio's....yeah, real Rockstar Style Bio's. It's time to have some fun and make some fiction happen here in Rockstar Bioville!!!

I'll start with the fitcional Rockstar Bio....


Born and raised in Lynn, MA, BostonJosh always had an affinity for music and entertaining. At an early age he was graced with the talents of playing the drums. Much to his parents dismay and the constant noise around the house, they knew there was something special about their son's talents. Ringo Starr of The Beatles once was quoted saying "I wish I was as good as Josh!"

Upon entering a local contest for musicians, Josh at the age of 4 beat out such amazing talents as future stars Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and Sully of the band GodSmack. The top prize for that musical competition was a $100,000.00 cash prize and a recording contract with Arista Records.

At only 4 years old, Josh became the youngest drummer to ever create his own rock band and the youngest to ever be signed by Arista. He was well on his way to superstardom and still had cartoon characters on his underwear.

By the time he turned 10, Josh and his self titled band Josh's Guys had already achieved world fame. In 6 years he had played in such incridible venues as The Tokyo Dome, and became the first to host a concert on the Berlin Wall. It was the young Josh who was able to successfully initiate peace talks in Germany, and unite East and West Germany...prompting the 1989 demise of the Berlin wall.

With an interest in walls, Josh's Guys became the first group to ever host a concert on The Great Wall of China. That concert propelled the band to a new level of fame and fortune. By the age of 16 Josh's Guys were billionaires.

With all of the success for basically his lifetime, Josh was quickly becoming difficult to work with and wanted to branch out on his own. This did not last long as he then created his own record label and wanted total controll. He wanted to not only run the company, but produce his own records, play all of his music and do all of the vocals. This "one man show" as it was called was a trainwreck waiting to happen. When he sought out long time friend and financial advisors M.C. Hammer and Vanilla Ice the world knew Josh was going to be in trouble.

After the failed solo career, Josh decided to go back to "Josh's Guys" and they all agreed an Eagles Style reunion tour was just what the world needed. Visiting 27 countries in just 3 weeks took it's toll on the guys.

Now, Josh at age 18 began hanging out with troubled teenage stars Cory Haim and Corey Feldman as well as River Phoenix and E.T.'s Drew Barrymore. It was this new group of friends that landed Josh in L.A.'s TeenStar Rehab. All of the late night parties had lead him to a 6 month stay there.

It was in TeenStar Rehab, however, that Josh's next stage of his career would take off. While in TeenStar, he met fellow musicians and new band members of Josh's Other Guys. The original band no longer was together, and Josh still had the drive to get out and RockOut!

After some studio time, Josh's Other Guys went on to be multi-onyx selling artists. The record industry had to create the category of multi-onyx as Josh's Other Guys had gone "Platnium" more times than every other band in the history of the world. This new category also prompted new fame and fortune and Josh was now a zillionaire (yeah, more than a billionare).

Now at the age of 30, Josh and all of his former guys have all retired and are living on an island which is owned by the former superstar.

There are talks of a double reunion of both "Josh's Guys" and "Josh's Other Guys" but the tickets for those shows would range from $10,000,000.00 per seat to more than that! Although when interviewed Josh said the ticket prices can't be changed as it is basically his lust for money that drives the prices to what they are.

Throughout the career of both band's they earned such honors as being invited to The Tonight Show over 7,000 times, being guests on Late Night With David Letterman 6,000 times and visiting Conan O'Brien's set once while on a walking tour of New York City. The band also helped get the careers of Oprah, Jerry Springer, Jerry Sienfield, and Bob The Builder all off the ground and running. Barney The Dinosaur once asked Josh's Guys for help, but they found him to be a bit to freaky even for their rockstar lifestyle. Although he did appear in one of their videos.

The future for Josh's Guys and Josh's other guys is still unclear but we are pretty sure the band or some form of what they used to be will make it's way back to the spotlight in the not to distant future.

Lara's Bio

When Lara was just a little tike, she recalls singing to every tune on the radio. She would give even the greats a run for the money, her now financially secure mom recalls. "She would listen to Mariah, Celine, and Whitney, and we were amazed at her range and vocal talent. Glassware was a problem for us, so we eventually went to plastic."

Mirroring her idol Mariah Carey, Lara knew that she had something special and decided that Hollywood could wait no longer. She was determined to be a star. After trying out for Rock of Love, The Bachelor, So You Think You Can Dance (singing wasn't her only talent) she finally got up the nerve to take her show to Simon, Paula, and Randy. After 15 seasons, Idol tryouts were really streamlined and they only picked the best. In her purple tutu and her hot pink jellies and matching hairband, Lara appeared before the judges. She was panicked, but knew the road to stardom wasn't easy. As she belted out "All by myself," the judges reaction was obvious. They loved it. Simon said to sing no more, but then Lara knew it was Hollywood, baby,, when Paula commented that she had a "special voice."

"We waited outside tensely," responded Lara's mom, "and waited for that golden ticket. When we saw the green one, we were unsure what that meant. We later found out that it was a green light to superstardom."

While Lara did not make American Idol, season 16, she was launched into a multi-million dollar deal with McDonalds. Her gig....sing at as many of the competitor's restaurants as possible. Mention that she hated McDonald's. It was a deal she couldn't refuse.

With her great success brought great problems....the drugs, the drinking, the ben and jerry's, and eventually the money ran out. Once spotted at McDonald's, people no longer believed her claim and she was forced into bankruptcy. She was depressed and alone and was on the edge of existence.

Luckily though, one day, her mom remembers vividly, "I picked up the phone and it was the producers of Celebrity Fat Club....I knew this was it! Our BIG break.....I called Lara down from her garage apartment and asked her to warm up that voice of hers and stuff down some McGriddles, because she was going to have to lose some weight."

Look for Lara on Celebrity Fit Club 75.....the bottom of the barrel and stay tuned for updates on Lara

WOW.....

It took me a while to read the Bio's but what a wonderful idea to post these! I loved reading them and getting to know you all a little better. I'm new to the team and should probably post a bio as well....
I'll have to do that once I have some time to take a trip down memory lane...lol

Lara Great stuff....thanks for playing along here! I'm sure once the lovely Ms. Holly Rockstar comes back from her vacation she'll have a great one for us too.

Ally I agree! You are a strong woman!! I can relate to comments from family.
I'm so glad that you are happy and know what is important in life. God is there with you just waiting for you to get to know him better!!
I hope you and Hubby get to be together soon!! I love your out look.

I just lost my Bio. I started it and then heard the beautiful sound of breaking glass. While I was cleaning up the mess my son came in here and touched something to make my hard work disappear!! I just can't seemto get quiet time to accomplish anything on here. Boo hooo........ I love my children very much but whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa now I have to start over. I will be stopped at least 100 times due to a poop diaper or fighting over a toy. Oh this is today. You want a Bio!! I shall try again!!


May 24 1973 baby girl born in Brainerd Minnesota. I was very anxious to get out. My head was crowning so the nurse pushed me back in!!! I showed her though! Mom says that I shot out anyway! I bounced off the table and the nurse caught me. This is the explanation I got for my OUTEY belly button. From birth I'm told I was a pain in the ass! Mom always said she wishes she could put us back from where we came from. I don't know who that would hurt worse, her or my dad??

After a couple months of my life mom had a stroke. She was 21. I've been told that this happened due to stress, smoking and her being on "the pill". I guess she was a worrier all her life. The memories I have of her were always the same. Smoking, drinking coffee sitting at the kitchen table. At night I remember her sitting on the table, smoking waiting for dad to come home from a night of drinking. I really don't remember a lot of my dad being a drunk but I guess he was. The drink always came first. We grew up hungry. I don't want to disrespect my dad but this is the truth. I always have thought that I would have left him a long, long time ago. Some of our meals consisted of macaroni and mayo, bread and mayo with salt and pepper (to make it taste like bologna). Sometimes we had decent food because my grandma would bring over grocery's. Grandma and Grampa lived just 1/2 mile from us. When we did have food of course it disappeared fast. I remember yelling at my brother if I thought he ate too much because he was wasting food. Poor kid, he got in trouble for stealing other kids lunches at school. (oh, my gosh, I think I'm gonna cry) that's sad. J had a bed wetting problem and mom with her depression didn't get out of bed to make sure we were presentable to go to school. J would be dirty, messy hair, rotten teeth and he smelled like pee. He was teased and got in to a lot of fights. I feel so bad writing this now as a mother. It wasn't his fault. We just didn't have the direction we needed. My sis and I took care of ourselves as far as grooming and dressed as nice as we could. I didn't realize how much she had on her shoulders being 5 years older than me. She was a our care taker. We gave her no respect. D has a different father than we did. Mom was divorced. There is no half in my love for my sister. She is my sister thats all! My drunken dad was very mean to her. It breaks my heart knowing that my brother and I also mimicked the names he called her. There was violence in our home. Fighting, things breaking, name calling. Dad never called me names but everyone else was verbally abused. When I started school I tried my best to not have people know that there was anything wrong. I hid behind a smile. Well, after kindergarten anyway. I remember not talking at all when school first started.
I was ashamed of where I came from. ashamed of my pee smelling brother. I wished that I had a different family. Even though there wasn't much food I think I got used to it. Mom went to work and we started having a bit more stuff around. Sadly this left my sis to be even more victimized my my dad. She had to grow up way too fast. She cooked, cleaned and still was verbally assaulted for it. My goal was to just pretend that this wasn't my life.
I made friends easily in grade school. I wanted so much to be a cool kid. One day lets call this little girl N. N came up to me and my best friends and said "we want you guys to be our new friends because you 2 have nice clothes and can be popular" N was pointing to my 2 friends. I can't tell you how this broke my heart. Not only could I not be a popular kid but they were taking my friends away. I know this day I went home crying. I told my mom what happened and she held me and assured me that I was a good person. Mom was very loving. I see now that I have dealt with depression my self ,even with a decent living situation, how depression can eat you up. Mom always told me I was pretty and had a beautiful smile, someday I would meet a boy with a great big smile like mine who would love me very much. As we grew older dad must have stopped drinking. We had many happy times and I knew that I was loved. Again, I tried to fit in and wanted nothing more than to look nice. Clothes became very important to me. As soon as I was old enough to babysit I used my money for clothes or food and candy. This must have been when the chubb came on. When I started gaining weight I remember my grandpa A. saying "OH my someone's been getting into the grocery's" this then lead to my dad calling me "POUNDAGE". So, hows Poundage doing today? I know he didn't mean to hurt me by saying this. Poundage, and she's built like a brick shit house. That was me.
From time to time there was some violence when dad drank. Really not worth rehashing because he isn't that man anymore. I remember being told to make sure to eat all of our lunch at school because we didn't know if there would be anything to eat at home. I bet this is where my unhealthy eating came in.
In 5th grade I remember mom giving me a Dexatrim pill and telling me to eat everything at school except the dessert. I did this and started losing weight again. I spent as much time as I could at friends houses. They let me borrow clothes, I had good meals and experienced what I believed to be "normal" people. This made me even more ashamed of my family. As far as I knew my sis was a slut, brother a scum bucket and I was the only normal one. (oh, this really hurts!) Now I see how cruel I was. I also know that the Lord has forgiven me. I didn't know any better at the time just as my parents were doing the best they could at the time. This is becoming very therapeutic for me. All my life I fought so people wouldn't know who I really am, now I"m telling it as it was. So, lets go on to my teenage years!! At 15 I believe I had my first beer. I think I drank 4 and laughed and laughed till I peed my pants!!
I remember falling all over into the grass and laughing. I liked this feeling. I then became a party girl. I would get drunk, have a good time and then cry hysterically. Now I see that I had all of that pain held in. I only let it out when I was drunk. I continued to drink and drink. I did ok in school got a job at 14 to feed my material girl appetite. I also had access to food since I worked in food service. I was active in high school. I enjoyed power conditioning. I would still party at any chance but I was buff!!
I had a kid come up to me once and say"Oh, your that body building girl!"
I would also get "you're J's sister?? Noooooo way, you're pretty!"
So, that's who I wanted to be. Pretty. I was addicted to the tanning booth, addicted to lifting weights and probably addicted to alcohol. The next conquest for me was to get a boyfriend. This never happened. I would be at party's and kiss the boys but I didn't put out so I was not cool. The boy's that did like me I thought to be not my type. So I continued to get drunk and kiss the boys. I believe I became a tease. My big brother had a fist in many a face to save me. Bro and I got closer as we grew a bit older. We hung at the same party's. Keg party's in the woods that is!! It's probably a MN thing!
Hmmmmm I moved out at 17. I remember eating frozen burritos with cheese and sour cream. I gained more weight. Went to college at the community college. Party, party, party. Had my heart broken a few times. Moved to Florida for a year, party party work work. Moved back to MN, went to school where I live now and met my husband. We both dropped out of school. Party, party........ I fell in love with him before he did me. He was still hung up on his high school sweet heart. We better skip some years. Uh hoo I just got called in to work fopr an emergency. I'll have to finish later.

Wow! What an honest bio We love ya Tam!

Oh no!! Now I can't take this back!! I'll make this long, long story short now. Corey and I were on and off for about 8 years. I married a dude on the rebound. Became pregnant and realized this was not the man I wanted to have a family with or even a friendship. I left him 3 months in to our marriage. A restraining order later our baby was born. My Ex had become quite the stalker. Lindsey was a beautiful baby girl. She had a fatal heart condition however and passed away suddenly on the 6th day of her life. I love her so much and am still glad that God blessed me with her. The evening of Lindsey's death Corey rushed to see me. We had been hanging out again since I was 7 months pregnant. He stayed with us for 3 of the six days of my sweet baby's life. I didn't know it at the time but he had fallen in love with her and me again. The night Lindsey left Corey told me that he still loved me. We've been together ever since. We now have three sons. I stay at home with them and work part time at Curves. Our marriage has been through some trials. I'm deal with depression but I'm feeling healthier than ever these days. My parents are still together and have also matured. They are wonderful parents and Grand parents. They were my rock during my Divorce and the birth and death of Lindsey. I'm walking close to the Lord now and I see how important it is for us to forgive and not judge. I spent most of my life so far blaming my troubles on other people. I'm learning that we have the power to forgive and move on. It feels so much better to have a peaceful heart. I love my life. I love what my life has taught me.
When I had to go work, I worked out for an hour!! I see how important it is to take care of my body and my spirit. I know if I can keep doing what is good for me the weight will melt away. Oh, I don't get wasted and cry anymore either. I'm a grown up now, a wife and a mother. Thanks to God I'm seeing what matters in life. Thank you for sharing my sadness and my growth!!
