I worked on ‘Girls Behaving Badly’ (Episode 406) from 7:30-2am on Tuesday. It was really cold outside and my feet were killing me in my heels but so were everyone else’s. It would have been a lot more pleasant if we weren’t supposed to look happy about it all. The crew and the hosts, Melissa from the Real World: New Orleans and Kira, were relaly nice and made it a lot more bearable.
Luckily for me I was able to sleep in on Wednesday till 9:30 when I had to get up for my eyebrow wax in anticipation for my photo shoot on Thursday. I don’t know if I’ll go back to this place again but it wasn’t a complete failure. When I got home our bench for the entryway from Pottery Barn was waiting, in fact it’s still waiting to be assembled. I tried to take a nap before going to work but that wasn’t meant to be. I got called by CSU, giving me instructions on how to apply to their online degree program and then abotu 10 minutes later with an interview for Thursday.
Thursday I got my headshots done with Michael Helms. I asked Megan to go with me to keep me company and help me remember the look I was going for. Things turned out pretty well. I am disappointed that out of 80 shots only 3 were any good and one of them was really good. I’m trying to get Casey to adjust the second picture in the gallery so that my neck and chiin don’t look so odd but I don’t know if that’s gonna happen. I guess I should be pleased and it should be expected that all the pictures wouldn’t be fabulous. Megan and I went to lunch at Barney’s before I headed to Universal Studios (not the theme park) for my interview. It was to play Gena Rowlands (the mom from ‘Hope Floats’ in flashbacks) in the movie ‘Skeleton Key’. I got paid for the interview and all it ended up being was some paperwork and them taking some pictures of me. I’m really hoping I get it because it would give me a SAG voucher, pay well, be good experience, and I could meet Kate Hudson! I dont’ know when I’ll find out about this one but keep your fingers crossed!
Yesterday I burnt my ass…literally. I worked on ‘Girls Behaving Badly’ (I think Episode 408) again and the shoot was at a pool and I had to wear a bikini all day, well 5.5 hours. Fortunately I reapplied SPF 15 three times which is unusual for me. I can only imagine what I’d look like if I haven’t worn anything. It was a lot of fun (aside from getting burnt) and I made friends with the a lot of members of the crew.
Casey and I both had such a busy week, that we’ve been taking it easy this weekend. The only highlight is that I’ve been able to submit myself for 10 roles in various projects now that i have my headshots! No extra work or auditions is scheduled for next week…yet.
