Hello lovers!
I return, if only for a while, from the sweet comfort of my boyfriends abode. I am using his internet for the time being, as my laptop is still unresponsive.
Lets catch up, shall we?
**WARNING: LONG BLOG AHEAD**
This past month I have had lots of wonderful things happen. and some bad things.
Lets start with my brand shiny new modeling agency, PEAK MODELS AND TALENT. Peak is based out of Valencia, and they are totally sweet, nice people. I have already had 2 audition opportunities since joining with them last month (better than I can say for my old agency... *cough...cough..S.A.S...cough*)
I look forward to more *paid* modeling jobs in the future, as well as fit modeling, which is wonderful!
Also I was offered a role in a short mini-series written by Matt Herington, the writer of another short I (and Cassie, oddly enough) were in earlier on in the year. However, it never finished because of editing/crew issues.
The series is about two brothers getting into a lot of trouble and always managing to get out of it, basically. (Sorry, Matt, I'm not very good at describing plots!)
I Play the older brothers (the more sensible one) girlfriend, who ends up being kidnapped and held hostage. It will only take one day of filming so far, though there are more episodes to be filmed. I will be shooting that Monday morning at 9am.
Which just so happens to be right BEFORE I get to see MIMI!!! :)
Mimi Is my grandma, but she raised me from 11yrs old to now, and she is who I consider a "Mom". She is fun, VERY PATIENT, and a very wonderful lady. I invited her out to cali-for-ni-a for some sun and good times over her 65th birthday. She is widowed and all alone in Georgia now that I left, so she (and I) are very excited to spend time together. I hope you all get to meet her while she is here, you'll love her.
One downer is, I need I new job.
And recently I have come to the goal that I want to move out of my room and into my own apartment by (around) June 1st.
I was paying off my credit cards (slowly but surely) and saving up a bit of money but something always happens when I do that... I am now getting my hours at work significantly cut. I went from 4-5 days a week, to 1 or none at all. I have tried everything I can to get more hours and make more money where I am at, but it just is not possible at this point. So after much deliberation, I have decided to do 1 of two things:
- Get a new job or get a second job I can work Mon-Fri, and work my little butt off to save up as much money as possible until June, then put in my two weeks notice after I have already found a nice serving job in NoHo, and move into my new place, with a secured job, and start going out on auditions again, from time to time.
- Submit submit submit. As much as possible for promo jobs, (mainly, bc they pay the best) and also modeling/acting gigs, and any temp gig I can get to make money here and there, while still going out on auditions and filming here and there. Hope that I get a great paying promo gig that will allow me to get a job in NoHo, and move into my own place.
I vote for situation number one, mostly because I'm sure it will work.
So if anybody knows of any great places that are hiring, let me know! I just applied at a hotel in Simi, for a front desk position. Boring? Yes, but it pays well, and I can amuse myself just about anywhere.
I also had a photoshoot at Studio A (just a little TFCD thing) with Ryan and Cassie. We had a great wardrobe stylist/Designer Brand1982, an MUA and several photographers and abour 7 models total. I got to wear a beautiful Brown grecian hand made gown and Cassie wore a fantastic flapper-length creamy, laced play dress. Ryan stuck mostly to headshots:)
I also had a fun shoot with JC Olivera in Simi, over by the old railroad station, and I cant wait to see how those came out! I'll post them asap, when I get them, but it might be awhile, as he travels quite a bit...
Last but not least, Cassie and I went to Malibu Beach today and caught up, both got "cute" little sun burns on our backs, and tomorrow, after my audition for a Sorority Web-series in LA at noon (yay!), we shall have a girl day! Full of pampering, nothing in particular, and pinkberry!

Good DAY!
