On My Nightstand: Third Anniversary Essay Contest Winner: est by Mia Idrissi Only One In The Room

- Personal Journals
We held a writing contest to celebrate our third year anniversary, and it is our pleasure to present our essay contest winner, est, by Mia Idrissi to you today. Mia Idrissi grew up in Seattle, WA in a home filled with gifted artists, musicians, and other emotionally challenged people. In her early twenties, she moved to New York determined to be the next Bette Midler. After 10 years at large on the streets of 1980s NY, a couple of trips to rehab, and a few years spent back in Seattle long enough to get married and divorced, she finally met her “person”, her husband Phil. Together they've spent the past 15 years having a blast working in divergent parts of the entertainment industry here in Los Angeles. With a litany of ridiculous, sometimes glamorous, sometimes dangerous adventures, her stories are winding their way into a memoir that is currently incubating. Being the only 16-year-old in an Est training weekend in 1980 full of hundreds of adults is but one of her curious life experiences.
