It was a busy day today!  I had the second callback for the feature and then a workshop and then I went to a downtown loft to do a photo shoot with Chris.  It was awesome.  Last year I did an outdoor shoot with him, but this time we did a studio shoot.  I’m so excited to see them.  He should have them all sorted and cleaned up in about a week or so.  I think I did 5-7 outfits and changed my hair and makeup as we went along.  They will be super rad.  It’s fun because I get to wear all the random stuff I have in my closet that I rarely have an occasion for.  Plus I brought the yellow dress again and we did a fun thing outside at the end.  Other fun accessories included a motorcycle helmet, goggles, feather boa, etc.  (not at the same time)  It was a blast.  Too bad I am too short and too old for America’s Next Top Model.  Ha ha.

Then after I finished that I had one more audition.   Then I made dinner and watched TV.  Now we are watching Robocop, which is rad.  I am pooped.  Thankfully I didn’t schedule anything tomorrow so I get a real day off.  Hooray!

Today I had a quick photo shoot at USC. One of the directors I’ve met along the way needed a model for a recreation of a scene from Ever After, where Drew Barrymore enters the party with her awesome wings.

She decided to go more edgy and punk rock. I brought a plethora of accessories and various costume options. Luckily I hoard clothing ‘just in case’ and I ended up wearing a partly see through top I’ve had in the closet for years and never even tried on. Surprise! the belly is see through too! It’s not scandalous or anything, just a funny surprise. Then she found some lovely blue and purple sheer wings for me to wear.

It was pretty quick. They were doing various lighting and camera lens changes for the class exercise, but it wasn’t super elaborate. A dolly up and down and there was a fog machine. Otherwise it was mostly aperture tests and such. I’ll get copies of stills from the shoot. They took some still shots as they went a long, but I think most of the focus was on the motion camera to see how the lighting choices play out on film.

I did my makeup pretty awesome. I was so proud of myself I took a phone snap for posterity, just in case. (I’ll probably post the stills on the site when I get them. )
