Adria was recommended by her friend Gina: "I have this friend, Adria. A native of New Jersey, she spent most of her teen and college days in NYC, but has now been in LA for almost five years. She wears many hats: Script writer, actress, comedian. In and outside of work, she'swildly funny and is always seeking adventure. The girl knows where to get great Italian food, and in the same day you'll probably find her going for a long hike. She needs someone who can keep up, but who also enjoys relaxing—the girl can cook a meal and whip up a cheese plate like no other. She's sassy, spunky and a great catch."
Here's Adria, in her own words:
What LA stereotype do you live up to? I have a yoga membership, a vinyl collection, a hiking habit, a farmer's market schedule and an indulgent juice budget... and I cancel it all out with long visits to dark bars. So "Eastsider," I guess.
What's your favorite bar in LA? How can I pick just one? All my favorites serve different purposes and different moods. Oh no... is this why I'm single?
What's the most overrated part about LA? Runyon Canyon.
What's the most underrated part about LA? Malibu Canyon.
What's the worst thing about dating in LA? The very fine line between networking and dating. Do you really want to read my script or do you want to sleep with me? Do you really want to take me out to dinner, or do you just want me to read your script? That.
What fictional LA character would you most like to spend the day with? The Dude.
