JP's Make Up Shoot





Many results of Albert's Tuesday night's photography class are in.


Jennifer (or JP) Makeup Artistry wanted a canvas (face) for some cool, avant-garde colorful make up photos for her book. She has done plenty of pretty, natural, headshot makeup and wanted to show off her creative side. She hand made everything you see. the feathers and rhinestones were all indvidually hand glued on my face and painted over, brushed on and otherwise very carefully constructed. It was a lot of fun to watch. Not as fun to remove. lol.


Today, I had to cancel my photoshoot with Tim and that was very disappointing, I'm sure he thinks I'm a total flake now--- great.


My dad and I drove my car to the shop to get a new battery and a new alternater. I hope thats ALL thats wrong with it. The cost with labor is going to come to about $400. Which is about $100 more than I currently have saved up. HOORAY.


I spent all day without a car, realizing how much I used one. I contemplated buying a new car and taking out an auto loan. I checked out my credit score on freecreditreport.com (which is easy yes, but i wouldnt recommend it on account of they are going to charge me 15 bucks in 7 days unless I can figure out how to cancel a service I dont need before then... grr.)

My credit score is off right now 690 (which is ok, but I think it is actually better than that since one of my credit cards is almost payed off now.)


I have come to the decision that I will get my car fixed, drive it carefully, and easy until summer.

I will probably get another job (hopefully doing promotional modeling if I can get it) and pick up more hours at work. I will save up money for a down payment on a new car, trade in my old one or sell it myself and use that money for a bigger down payment. Once I have the new car insurance and payments under control, I'll move out to Hollywood, and hopefully have a chunk of cash saved up in case of an emergency, because my mommy and daddy dont support me like every other actor in LA.

No offese to anyone who has that luxury, but I really wish I had the financial support others do, or even a saftey net to rely on. Not, if I lose everything and get kicked out of an apartment, I will have to move back to georgia, as the situation is. I just feel a lot of pressure to sink or swim, especially out here in california.


I'm also very sick, egggh.

Which is another reason I had to cancel the photoshoot today, I'm coughing up my lungs and everything else and sneezing on anything that moves. Not so glamourous. But hey, it gives me time to clean my room and put up my new Breakfast at Tiffany's poster Ryan got me :)


My goals for tomorrow are:




  • Mail Edward my Morbid actor release


  • Deposit suprise paycheck


  • Pay car expenses, get car back.


  • Get started on taxes


  • Tackle my dresser


  • GET BETTER :( *sniff* sniff* *cough...*

Awww!!! I'm soooo sorry to hear about your car! AND you're sick on top of that! Well, if you ever need to stay at my place to be closer to extra/modeling work, or need a ride, don't hesitate to call! And sorry that you had to cancel with Tim, but he's an easy-going guy, he'll understand. Hopefully you'll get to shoot together soon! He's great with funky/artistic shots!

Get better soon!
