Catching criminals or creating them?

Our friend Patrick posted this on facebook today. His friend is trying to bring awareness to the story that put an innocent couple in an unfortunate circumstance! It infuriates me that it's even happened!!! Apparently, the cops set up a "bait car" in front of someone's home trying to catch burglars. In theory, it sounds like a justifiable operation, given all the crimes lately, but when you start messing with INNOCENT people's minds in their own neighborhood, leading them to think something TERRIBLE may be going on just outside their homes, what do you expect them to do? Neighborhoods look out for each other, or at least I know mine does. We've called our neighbors before if there was a strange car parked in front of their home and they weren't there. If there was an abandoned car outside our driveway, we'd check it out too. And if we actually called the cops, and they didn't tell us otherwise, we might think there was foul play going on as well!! It just makes me sad to read this, because it's unnecessary stress to put people under, when it all could be worked out with a simple conversation and some brain cells. Eat your omega 3 vitamins people!!!!!

Makeup Tips on Beauty Staffs

Hey friends!

A lot of you were asking if I'd post makeup tips sometime, so here it is! I've been on a makeup advisory board for the last several years with Beauty Staffs (online), since I've been a freelance makeup artist for over 10 years in ATX (in addition to my film work!). http://www.jentriquinn.com 

I've posted the link where you can submit your questions... as soon as they send them to me I'll answer them, and they will be posted online! Have fun! :)


Happy to help! Have a BEAUTYful day.

Whatever I want

I love to write, but sometimes feel restricted to write whatever the hell I want to write, depending on my audience (i.e. If my audience wants to hear about film, I don't want to rant about something out of the blue and have them feel like it's a waste of time). So this is a completely selfish device - a portal to brain activity (Being Jentri Chancey?) -  whatever I want it to be on any given day, and if anyone cares to engage me in my thoughts - I'd be happy to respond to yours.

I'm really passionate about things I want to construct in my life work wise, but that's not who I am. It's a part of me, but I'm also passionate about animals, spirituality, the paranormal, what makes me tick, what makes us all react and how to live the best life possible. Sometimes I think we learn best through ourselves... just being able to brain dump in a healthy environment. Dump out all the garbage to get to the good stuff!

I consider myself to be slightly out there (you have to be to think you'll succeed in the film business!) and very open minded. I'm not as worried about myself as all the crazies I know that don't think that way. Even if I don't 'believe' in someone else's beliefs that doesn't mean I don't respect them, or won't contemplate/entertain them for a time being.

I don't involve myself with EGO because I don't believe I need it to get what I want. But like everyone else, I occasionally struggle with the temptation of it, and have to get my mind right again. I'm far from perfect, and in fact, don't believe in that either! Never met anyone perfect, only those who are perfect in their imperfection. And I love them that way.

All for now! brain dumping coming soon!
