Kristina Stasi & Julia Lindon
Hey, hi, howdy, and hello. I hope you had a nice week and that your bosses were understanding if you came to work late once or twice. How are all of your projects going? Sometimes it hard to focus on things even when it’s in our best interest to do so. It’s ok. Just try when you can. You’ll get back to it.
My friend and I are planning a trip to the Redhook Ikea next week; have you ever been there? Ikea is an astonishing place. The first time I ever went, we wandered through the showrooms, ate the cheap and delicious cafeteria food, pretended to live other people’s lives, you know...normal stuff. But when we reached the end of the showroom and it opened up to into the giant warehouse, I looked up at my vast surroundings and had a moment of total clarity: I am very small, and this world is very big. It was a real philosophical moment. Anyway, then we had $1 ice cream, and went home.
Krisina Stasi
Very excited to introduce you all to Kristina Stasi! Kristina is an actress, singer, comedienne, and writer originally from the San Francisco bay area and has been living in NYC for over 6 years. She’s currently on a Magnet sketch house team, Newport, an indie all-female hip hop improv team, DMXX, and indie musical improv team, The 29th Street Revue. She loves puns so much that she created a public instagram with original memes just to have an outlet for all the silly puns she thinks of. Since April of this year, she’s created 50 (!!!!) original memes and plans to create and release more content on a weekly basis. Says Kristina, “I once made an AC Slater meme and THE Mario Lopez liked it! I also once made a Rascal Flatts meme and they did NOT like it, haha.”
Kristina was also in a commercial for My/Mo Mochi Ice Cream, and it’s honestly one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched. “Fun BTS fact: I was cast to just be silly and drive the floor polisher, but I started dancing in between takes and the client loved it so much, they filmed me dancing for 2 minutes straight. The guy in the video with me is actually a professional break dancer, but they cut him out so they could feature my dancing instead.” Fucking, get it girl. Kristina also recently modeled shapewear for Cosmo’s digital content series, “Try On,” which is very cool. Listen, Kristina seems pretty freaking great, so go to her shows, and check out her content because she’s funny af.

News Brief I Guess
I could spend this news brief talking about the petty nonsense going on with the instagram gals (both of whom I had to Google) but instead I’m going to use this time to tell you that the queen of musical comedy, Rachel Bloom is pregnant!!! I don’t usually care about pregnancy announcements but I will spend the rest of my days only ever wanting good things for Rachel Bloom so I’m very happy for her.
And also. Gosh what a cute way to announce. That’s all.
