Questionable Judgement

It's no secret that actors do questionable things, especially in college. But my friend, Marjorie and I REALLY had a lapse in judgement today. We were working on lines for an upcoming show and decided it would be best over lunch. The only place close was a shady looking Chinese place. Our first clue as we walked through the door should have been that the cooks were not Chinese. Not a good sign at a Chinese restaurant. Our second clue should have been the 3, yes THREE other customers during lunch rush. Not a good sign for any restaurant. BUT, my friend, Marjorie and I did not walk out of there like reasonable people. Nope. Instead, we ordered the lunch special. Each ate half, and politely threw the rest away. We are both hoping it won't turn into the scene from "Bridesmaids". Only time will tell!

Hot For Teacher

This was from the set of "The Blank Page" a short film in Winston-Salem with the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. I was playing a 4th grade teacher. I really don't remember any of my elementary teachers wearing such tight sweaters, but maybe I just wasn't looking. Just when I'm starting to feel super sexy, one of the PA's asks if I have a daughter enrolled at UNCSA as a freshman. That's right, he thinks I look old enough to be a COLLEGE FRESHMAN'S mom!!!!! Well, at least I know.

People Can't Drive

Driving to a call back audition last week, I almost lost my life. Maybe that's a little stretch. But I was pretty scared. I was in the right lane just driving along. (doo dah doo). Then the white bronco in the left lane started coming over. Just honked a little to let them know I was there....BUT he didn't stop coming over!!!! I had to slam on breaks and get completely over driving over the rumble strips! Thank the Lord there was a median there or I would have been crushed. What an idiot! He never once looked over to check his blind spot!!! And people think women are bad drivers.


By the time I got to my audition, my hands had finally stopped shaking by my legs still felt like jello. Nothing like a little adrenaline to give you that extra edge! It must have helped because I landed the role!

Role Reversal

Never thought I'd say this, but my husband looks pretty good in makeup. A little powder, a little concealer...hey, it's a good thing! Now, don't get the wrong idea. He doesn't wear makeup everyday. He's a manly man. Really he is. It's not like I walked in on him in the bathroom stealing my blush this morning. No, nothing like that. He's got his own, of course! That's right. You heard me. He has his OWN. Not to worry, it's for a commercial. Now, I've really got to step up my game!

New Beginnings

Don't you love the beginning of the year?

2012

It's like a blank slate, an empty canvas.
I'm a glass half-full kind of girl.
Positive thinking and all that jazz.

So excited to see what's in store this year!

Just a Blur

If you squint and sort of cross your eyes, you will see me at the end of this video. I'm the plaid blob on the left of the screen in sunglasses. Second 21 and 26...trust me, you have to pause it to see me! Oh, yeah...I've hit the big time! haha...

You're a Fruitcake

As I'm unpacking groceries from my car, I hear a voice behind me, very meek at first.

"Merry Chrusmus, ma'am. Merry Chrusmus to you!"

Oh thanks! You too! I keep unloading the groceries.

"Could you help me out. I'm so hungry."

Of course. I've got some apples here or bananas.

"Naw. I can't do fruit. I'm allergic to fruit."

Well, I'm sorry, but that's all I have. That and hummus.

"Ain't you got no money?" 

Hmmm. No, I don't have any money with me.

She mumbled something I couldn't quite make out under her breath. I'm going to pretend it was Merry Christmas anyway.
