It was a regular Friday afternoon in Brooklyn. I was home, in my sweats, probably unshowered, when I got the call: "Hi, this is production from Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Would you do a drawing party for the show?" Me: "Sure! When?" Them: "Tomorrow." Me: "Where?" Them: "Los Angeles." LOL. OKAY THEN.
Even if I’d launched myself out of a cannon toward JFK, there was no way I’d make it in time for their morning shoot. But I had the perfect backup: the talented, hilarious, stunning Aussie actress and Artful Bachelorette teacher Victoria Jacobsen, who had recently moved to LA. I called her. Her response? "HELL YES."
Next call: our chiseled, charming, fan-favorite male muse Dre. Also in.
Venue: Booked. Producer: Informed.
WE. WERE. ON.
So, Which Kardashian Showed Up?
We were told we couldn’t know who’d be there. I envisioned the whole clan in full glam, sipping champagne while shading in six-packs. But when the cameras rolled, it was just Kris Jenner (CEO of Everything) and Scott Disick (Kourtney’s ex, full-time chaos goblin).
They drank. They drew. They flirted. Scott asked if he’d be drawing Victoria naked. She said, "No, we have a male model.” Cue his very faux shocked reaction. (He knew. Of course, he knew. It’s reality TV—they rehearse the surprise.)
He made jokes about penises. Kris pretended to be horrified but giggled like a queen. Scott suggested they attend a nudist retreat next. Kris said, "Absolutely not." Television gold.
Fun Fact: Reality Isn’t Real
Even though Scott was the one who found us and pitched the party to production, the final cut made it look like it was all Kris’s idea. Suspicious? Sure. Effective TV? Also yes.
And get this—when big shows like this call, they rarely pay. Not for the venue, the supplies, the drinks, the staff. They offer “exposure.” But this was KUWTK. I said: "Sign me up." Because millions of people would now know about The Artful Bachelorette. And they did. (The episode had over a million viewers.) The Internet Had Thoughts
“Scott is the kid Kris wanted in Rob! They look like a fun team.” “Kris and Scott bond is weird af and I love it.” “I love Scott’s penis jokes more than I should.” “Are we not going to talk about how they made this look like Kris’s idea???”
And to that last comment—yep. We noticed too.
What You Don’t See on Screen...
Victoria being an absolute pro, keeping it together while Scott flirted outrageously.
Dre being a total legend—posing like a Greek god, while being fully aware he was now in the Kardashian Cinematic Universe™.
Me, 3,000 miles away, pacing around my house, clutching my phone, screaming: "We’re on the Kardashians!!!"
Would I Do It Again?
In a heartbeat. Even if they asked me to draw Kim in a kimono on a jet ski.
