Janelle Ortiz gets up close and personal with Mickey Mouse as she snaps a pic during the Celebration For Patterson J. Kincaid’s Disney Collaboration in downtown Los Angeles on Monday morning (March 14).
The 17-year-old Prom actress, wearing Te Amo and a Minnie Muse by Forever 21 sweater, tweeted that she has a “serious crush on my boss.” We can see why!
The Patterson J. Kincaid collection combines the vintage comfort the brand is known for with some of Disney’s most beloved visuals including from the classic story, Bambi. The collection is comprised of easy, knit pieces ranging from effortlessly cool tank tops to hip oversized sweatshirts and stylishly distressed T-shirts that fit like an old favorite.

Ali tweeted on Twitter, “Daily #Prom Tip: Allow at least a half-hour for your parents to take photos. Seriously, they’re probably going to go crazy.”
Of course, JJJ loves this one: “A thoughtful #Prom ask is better than a casual one…this is #PROM, not pizza after school!”
Good advice!

Janelle recently chatted with Savvy mag about her character in her upcoming movie, Prom and dished that she wished she played sports. “I was originally an athlete. I played softball since age 8 and was on track to attend college on an athletic scholarship. During the most important part of the recruiting process, I got injured and wasn’t able to play. When it was taken away, I began acting and wound up falling in love with it,” Janelle shared.

Prom hits theaters on April 29th!
Janelle Ortiz steps out in style at the Love is Louder tee shirt launch held at Rock & Republic in Los Angeles earlier last week.
The up-and-coming actress stars as Ali Gomez in Disney’s Prom.
Ali is one of JJJ‘s favorite characters because she’s nosy…and when we say nosy, we mean sticking her nose in everyone’s business nosy.
As Nova’s (Aimee Teegarden) best friend, Ali is a bundle of energy and takes her gossip seriously — which is why she’s determined to find out if Rolo (Joe Adler) is telling the truth about having a girlfriend.
You can follow Ali on Twitter and stay up to date with Prom gossip!
