Kathryn Erbe – Tips, Tricks and Product Picks

When she’s not busy fighting criminal masterminds on “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” Kathryn Erbe has fun with fashion, make-up and food just like the rest of us! Read about her go-to places and favorites.

Melissa Meyers: What beauty product can’t you live without?
Kathryn Erbe: I can only pick one?! I’d have to say chapstick.

MM: What is in your make-up bag?
KE: By Terry concealer and illuminator, Stila tinted moisturizer SPF 30 , Nars Sheer Radiant Glow Foundation , Nars powder , Nars eye shadow in All about Eve , and in Voyage, Nars Blush in Crazed, Nars Soft Touch Shade Pencil in Aigle Noir, L’oreal Voluminous Black Mascara, and Mac Spice lip pencil.

MM: Who are your go-to people for hair cut and color?
KE: Haircut is Jason Low, color is Steven Amendola – both at Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon in New York City.

MM: What is your must-have item?
KE: The favorite item I own is a toss -up between Rick Owens black leather jacket that I bought at a Friend’s store, Eva Gentry’s in Brooklyn, and black patent peep toe Christian Louboutins.

MM: What is your biggest guilty pleasure/ indulgence?
KE: Veggie Booty, Gigantic Vegan “Tollboth” cookies from Lifethyme Natural Market, late night shopping on Marni.com and Barneys.com

MM: What do you do for exercise?
KE: I run at home on my treadmill as often as possible, usually 5 times a week. I workout with my trainer Jonathan Weber at Complete Body and Spa. I also practice yoga on my own for 15 minutes every day and at Park Slope Yoga Center.

MM: What do you eat and do to stay healthy?
KE: Since I have been filming “Law & Order: Criminal Intent this season,” I am on the Blue Print Cleanse: Juice ‘Till Dinner, Monday thru-Friday.

It’s great taking the dogs to the dog park and being outside. My dream Saturday is to take my kids to Harriman State Park. We also love to hang out in Ditch Plains in Montauk, jumping in the waves, and eating from the Ditch Witch and The Clam Bar.

Drug store item: Q-tips and chapstick.

I also adore the Dolce & Gabbana dresses our designer, Stephanie Maslansky helped me pick for the press things we have had with the show’s 10th season premiere.Vera Wang is a new found love of mine. I own two of her dresses and some beautiful jewelry.
TV show: At the moment, Dexter, but of all time, probably The Wire.

Worst Friends++ Update

Because we hadn't heard something about Worst Friends in the last couple of weeks and there are also no new articles about Richard Tanne's project, I wrote him an email to ask about the state of the Worst Friends affairs.

Here is his answer:

Hi Antje,

Thank you very much for checking in and for your continued interest in our film. The film is coming along great! Post-production is going smoothly but taking a tad longer than we anticipated. We are holding off on entering film festivals and trying to secure distribution until we are convinced we have the best possible version of the movie. We're very close, but I'm hesitant to give you an ETA because these things are hard to predict.

Thanks again for checking in and I promise to update you as soon as there is anything concrete!

Sincerely,
Richard

In this whole process I also tried to contact the producers of Sunny Side Up. They still ignore my emails. I only hear from Chris of TheReel who had contact to Erica Hampson: Sunny Side Up is just finishing up its post production, and she [Erica Hampson] is not sure what will happen with it yet.

So maybe we'll get an exciting film festival autumn 2011 with a lot of Kathryn movies or maybe a very busy 2012.

P.S. Today the 3 Backyards facebook page claimed their attendance at the Sedona International Film Festival.
When you're in Arizona and have time at May, 24th get your ticket for one of the two screenings. Read more here.

CI 20 in 20 - Round 8

These are my entries of Round 8 of crimintent20n20.

Although we had three great new Criminal Intent episodes, I ran out of ideas about my AC icons. But at my micro fluid university course I found the solution. I wanted to do CI stock opener icons for a longer time.

100 Drabble - Billy Joel Songs

Title: Good Night, Saigon
Prompt: Billy Joel Songs
Characters: Alexandra Eames/Robert Goren
Rating: T
Word Count: 98
A/N 1: Pre Masquerade


“Do you think we can arrest Fife smoothly tomorrow?” Alex asked, turning around and leaning on the balustrade of their shared balcony.

“I hope so.” Bobby’s gaze turned from the night skyline of Saigon to his partner.

“Bedtime…?” Their eyes locked and Bobby couldn’t remember if he ever had detected the golden sparkles around Alex’s pupils before. Was this an invitation?

He nodded but stepped to the door of his room. He waited before going inside until Alex slipped into her room…

…not without giving him a last glance telling him what she would like him to do.

Kathryn signing Autographs at USA Network Upfronts in NYC

I spotted Kathryn's shoulder in Mother's House right. She changed her tattoo with the heart + the M (for Maeve) & T (for Terry) into a heart with wings. The tattoo at her arm is also visible but I still can't tell what it should symbolze.

Kathryn Erbe signed autographs at the USA Network Upfronts in New York City published by toppixautographs.

GlamazonDiaries.com by Makeda Saggau-Sackey: Kathryn Erbe wore a green lace strapless Dolce & Gabbana dress and Christian Louboutin peep-toe heels. She told us her toned arms are thanks to picking and and running after her seven year old son and getting her butt kicked by her personal trainer.
