Some diverse proposition

Click to see the whole photoshoot

Hello!

Isabella and I had that semi- pin up-esk photoshoot and I’m more than satisfied with the turnout. I’m happy I was able to help her out and teach her some fun camera stuff. I threw together this little mini- studio look alike setting in my room with some sheets, and 3 lights that were spralled across the floor and on a chair. I really need to lose weight, and I’m not saying that to be the stereotypical girl of this century, but all and all it’s simply a fact and when my schedule balances out I will go full force back to the gym I pay for every month. hah!

Who drinks cranberry juice out of a straw?

Oh…me.

Well, it’s been a couple days since my last post and the reason being is that I have actually been busy. That in itself is oh so enthralling, because this whole summer has been a constant search for that feeling of commited urgency. Life seems to move so much sweeter when one has meaning for getting up in the morning- whether it be 4am or 4pm. Speaking of 4am yesterday I completed my third day of opening and I must say it really isn’t that bad. Now, the dismal dreary demanding (<- check out that alliteration) feeling you get afterwards is a completely different story BUT the shift itself isn’t terrible in the least.

South Pacific rehearsals began last night and I must say I’m feeling very, whats the word? Indifferent to it all. I am trying my very best to overlook my personal feelings of disappointment  towards the casting decision of the lead role. It’s true every principle otherwise is EXTREMELY talented. The casting choice for Emile could not have been more spot on- vocally or theatrically- perfect perfect! Now, as far as why I’m feeling indifferent I really just believe it’s because this is not an ensemble heavy show; it really isn’t- at least not GIRL ensemble heavy. Therefore, it’s difficult for me at this point to completely embrace this production with open arms since it has had such a bittersweet beginning for me.  This is musical theatre and this is what I love and yet I’m starting to believe another reason this sense of thorough dissatisfaction comes from the fact that this is the ONE musical I’m planning to do at coc- at this community theatre level. After this year I will be living in another state, and not just any state; THE state for musical theatre. COC and New York theatre are on completely different scales. That aside I don’t believe Nellie was the role for me anyway, and I’m sure Melanie will do a lovely job in her own way. The thing that gets me is that in the real world of theatre I don’t believe this ever would have flown. The fact that in order to obtain the lead role- Melanie after NOT receiving a callback, called and spoke specifically to the director. Now, I just plain and simple know that isn’t the way it works. But- like I said, this is not the part for me which is fine and I honestly don’t have any feeling of hostility towards that aspect of this at all. Would I be playing Roxie in Chicago?

Hell no, I would not! haha.

Well, *sigh* today is starbucks experience training in burbank and I’m very curious to see what it will be like. All and all my journey thus far at this company has been so much fun. That is not to say there isn’t constant work envolved on every front, but really what a great job. I’m quite content there and plan to remain that way.

Correction, today WAS starbucks experience in Burbank BUT it got cancelled when I got down there. wew!

Identical came in the mail!!! (<-with three exclamation points hmph!)

The newest Ellen Hopkins book is now mine, and I cannot WAIT to cuddle up when I get two seconds to breath and read it. Infact, I believe I’m occupying the “two seconds” in question to write this very bulletin. oh man, oh well, next time.

Anyway, I will post more at the end of the day if I get a chance.

“Baby look at me- and tell me what you see. You ain’t seen the best of me yet, gimme time and I’ll make you forget the rest..”
