One Door Closes, Another Opens

So, I got an email the other day from my agent saying that I have not been short listed for the production of Charlie's Angels. I was disappointed of course, but more frustrated than anything, because the casting director didn't say why. One has to know that this business is extremely fickle. Usually a decision is made not based on ones talent, but for political, or physical reasons. You need thick skin to be an actor, or performer in general, and you can't let news like that slow you down, or get you down.

The opportunities in Canada, are few compared to those in Los Angeles, but they are there. I do miss auditioning almost everyday, however, you have to make the best of the situation. The day after I got the disappointing news from my agent, I went to a modeling call for a very important fashion show. I got the job on the spot! No, it's not Charlie's Angels, but it's a great gig, and I'll be in lingerie, so I'll feel like a charlie's angel ha-ha. See, one door closes, and another opens. Regardless, it's always nice when you hear, "Yes...we want her," no matter how big or not big the job.

So I'm at my modeling agency in a teeny, tiny bikini, because not only do they want to see your body, but see how comfortable you are walking a runway. So here I am, pretty much naked under my coat, when the lady who's casting says to me, "Okay, drop it already." So I did. I have to say I am more comfortable with my body now, than I was five years ago. Here I am, wearing basically nothing, in heels (had to ad that), being poked, prodded, and measured, and then pretending to walk the runway. I did feel sexy though, I must say. It was certainly empowering.

I will keep you posted on the fashion show, and ad some pictures too, so stay tuned...

Until then, I have a KFC commercial audition to go have fun with tomorrow.
