Farewell, Mr. Hoffman.

Thank you for all you’ve done for me.

Hey friends!

I’m starting the new year with a new look to my profile. I’ve been waiting for almost a year to complete the work necessary to update it. Check it out if you have nothing better to do.

I’ve been very inattentive to MySpace because of a hectic work schedule - I filmed three films in the last few months. IMDB has some of the details and I’ll share more as the films are prepared for release in early 2009.

Onward and upward!

Trailer for Julia’s Song

Ξ September 21st, 2008 | → 15 Comments | ∇ Videos, Film Appearances, Acting |

As previously mentioned, I performed the lead role of Julia Miller in the half-hour short film, Julia’s Song. The film follows the life of Julia as she endures the senseless loss of her brother, struggles to come to grips with trauma from the battlefield in the “War On Terror” and attempts to deal with life after hearing the news of her lover’s tragic demise.

Julia’s Song, written and produced by Belina Jano of Belle Productions, directed by Daniel Espinosa and Andre Torres will be submitted to film festivals. The trailer is below. Once the film is uploaded online, I will link it from this website.

Mean girls finish last

Ξ September 7th, 2008 | → 8 Comments | ∇ Modeling advice |

My long-time readers know I’m not one who favors drama and have a general disdane for gossip. Unfortunately, I worked an assignment in late 2007 that is worth mentioning, especially to those hoping to pursue a career in modeling. I had the misfortune of working with some models who felt they were “better” than me. I don’t mean to say they felt they were more capable of doing the job. I mean to convey they regarded me as a “lesser” individual.

Models come in many shapes and sizes. My size is 2-4. I’m average height and curvy. Compare that to the typical dimensions of a fashion model and I’m vertically-challenged and bovine in proportion. The models who felt they were better were built as a fashion model generally is. Theier comments were catty and rude, not only to me, but to the staff. In fact, professional kindness was in extremely short supply during this shoot. The cattiness and dreadful attitudes filled the shoot with a tension I’ve never before encountered.

I could end the story on that note. It would be sufficient to say, “if you bring your shitty attitude with you, it only serves to make things worse - for everyone.” But then I’d be leaving the jewel out of the crown of this story.

I was hired, by name, to perform this job. I was not chosen from a random selection of models. Despite their arrogance and cockiness, the other models were simply picked from a line-up. When the assignment was over, I left as I normally do, thanking everyone for working with me. The casting agent was particularly kind.

Modeling is not an easy job - no job in the entertainment industry is easy, for that matter. Bringing the attitude makes it intensely harder! Giving all your energy toward being a bitch keeps your phone from ringing, both personally and professionally. With women having to overcome SO many obstacles in society, I can’t fathom why some women feel they need to be another obstacle. Here’s proof-positive it doesn’t pay!
