oooh, that's a toughie...

...but after much deliberation I'm NOT going to submit myself for the following roles on some of the casting websites:

Woman Wearing a Deer Head (this was exactly what it sounded like, although the casting people were quick to point out that it would be "non-sexual." Well, I should friggin' hope so.)

Sexy Female Stripper -- tasteful (I love how they had to add "tasteful" to that)

Evil Sexy Clown (this one came up a few weeks ago. I was afraid to ask.)

It's an interesting world out there, my friends...

Also, the print ad tomorrow is for a leading pet store, so this explains the cats/dogs/gerbils thing. I'm psyched to go hang out in a park (at 7 am, but still) and frolic with animals. I thank my lucky stars every day that I have such an awesome career and cool opportunities.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

all hands on deck

So, I haven't posted for a few days, because as a working actor in LA, things can go from normal to crazy VERY quickly.

Like late last week, when I literally had three auditions in one day, then booked a print job (a photography shoot, usually for a stock photography company or ad agency) for this upcoming Friday. The print audition goes a little something like this: they tell you what to wear (in this case it was active sportswear), then they go through whether or not you have any conflicts (for example, if you booked a shoot with Pepsi you better not have booked a shoot with Coca-Cola in the last year or so) and then they get your sizes and tell you any other necessary information. Like allergies!

Wait, what?

Yep, as they finish taking my photographs and I'm heading out, the photographer calls out to me, "You're not allergic to cats, dogs, or gerbils, right?"

Gerbils?

Not that I know of...

So I booked a job. Which means all my carefully made plans of when I was working and where I was going this week had to get a little squished and re-arranged and a couple rain checks were doled out, and I'll be on a set on Friday getting photographs of me, possibly interacting with dogs, cats, and...gerbils.

Ain't life grand.

At any rate, I apologize for the posting slackage, and here's a much more awesome blog than mine to follow while you go through withdrawal. Hopefully later this week I'll have more time to post blogs and then you'll get a good one next week that explains any gerbil allergies that might have popped up on Friday.

Seriously, go check out this blog. It's the coolest idea ever, and I'm totally jealous that I didn't think of it first. Here's the author's explanation of the art project, because the blog itself drops you right into the middle of the action. And don't think I'm not stealing some of these ideas, because I totally am...
