On your mark, get ready, start.
2006–12: Career beginnings
After moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting, she began doing professional lingerie modeling. She attempted to break the world's fastest talker record on Guinness World Records Unleashed, but was unable to break the record. In 2006, Paytas' made her first television appearance as a correspondent to Greg Behrendt on The Greg Behrendt Show. She appeared on the show for its full thirteen episode run before it was cancelled after only airing one season. The following year in 2007 she appeared on the second season of Who Wants to Be a Superhero?.[1] Paytas played "Ms. Limelight". She was on the show for five episodes although she was eliminated from the competition portion of the show on the third episode. On January 3, 2007, Paytas started her YouTube channel "blndsundoll4mj". The channel was originally dedicated to movie director Quentin Tarantino, whom Trisha idolized, but soon after being created, Paytas began to focus on other types of videos. Blndsundoll4mJ primarily gives fashion, beauty and relationship advice videos.
In 2008 through 2010, Paytas made many guest appearances on shows including The Price Is Right (2008), The Ellen DeGeneres Show (2011), Jane by Design (2011), Huge (2011), and Modern Family (2011), among others. She portrayed Jessica Simpson in the Eminem video "We Made You" in 2009[2] She also appeared as a background dancer for rapper M.I.A. at the Scream Awards in 2010.
