Great Days
Well it has been a couple days sorry for that but it has been a little crazy. Friday was a lawyer commercial, actually for 7 different lawyers. Call time was for 1:30 pm so of course I got there about 12:55 (always feel like if I'm not at least 20-35 mins. early than I'm late). It turned out to be a very long day. There were complications with getting an ambulance there in time. Then when we started filming mine we were by the road so there was cars driving by almost twice a take. So we had to do it several times. One cool thing that I learned during the shoot is a new set word is "pancake". For others, like me, that have never heard what that is: it's a very small slender apple box. It raised me up about 2 inches so not to much. It was very cool. Sat. was an audition for an ABC pilot "Victim's Voices" (working title). When I sent in my information it was for a mom (principle part) in her 30s. When I got in to do the audition the casting director asked me how old I was and I was like 30 and she was like you don't look like it at all. So she told me there was another part that she had me read for a girl 18-early 20s and other characteristics fit me perfectly. So we will see what happens with that. Sun. was another fun filled day, was rehearsal for Dallas Bridal Show. We worked on choreography from 2 pm to 6 pm, I was exhausted by the end of the day. It is going to be awesome on July 31st at 3pm at the Dallas Market Center Hall. If any of you are in the area come by and check it out, the dresses are going to be incredible. Also I have a friend that will be there to take pictures of Todd and me during the show, and I will be posting them on my website as soon as I get them from him after the show. Mon. and today have been recover days, I have been on the verge of losing my voice over the last couple of days and finally lost it on Mon. Haven't find any new projects. Did find out that my manager will be contacting the casting director for "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" soon to see about getting me an audition. Which of course I am excited about, can't wait. Will let you all know when I get the audition. Thank you all for your support. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

Great Day
Today has been a really cool day, got more of my house done and also found out that I have a lawyer commercial that I was asked to do. Very Nice!! Also talked with a casting director about a movie that I audition for awhile ago and he told me that he still in wanting me to work on his project. He hadn't gotten back with me cause the project has been pushed back. This one is a horror feature film "Untitled" (working title). Today submitted to a couple projects here in the Dallas area. Today is not a long one cause can't really stay up to late tonight and I have to study my lines for tomorrow's commercial. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

Good Days
Well Tues. was a good day, went to my fitting for the Dallas Bridal Show. I really like it when I get to dress up and try on a bunch of different clothes. I ended will be going with 2 bridesmaid dresses (one short and one long) and 2 bridal dresses. The short one is a dark purple halter with a scarf, while the long one is a one shoulder light pink one. The bridal ones are amazing. One I have already worn, it's a Casablanca, strapless with a design on the top and the bottom is huge (I will have a pettie coat underneath it) BEAUTIFUL. The other one is completely different, has spaghetti straps a line, has a lace with design jewels on it. VERY BEAUTIFUL!!! So I was very happy that I am going to be able to wear them in the fashion show. I am going to have to make sure I get one of my photographer friends there to take my pictures (unlike last time). Today has been more of a family day, I have been deep cleaning and rearranging furniture all day!! I know what is up with that. I submitted to several things yesterday and today. I am filling out the form for the Torrid model contest and should send it by this weekend. I have a possible commercial for tomorrow, still waiting to hear for sure though. Update on "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" my manager has got the contact information for the casting director for it and she told me she is going to be getting in contact with them shortly. So this is very good news!! While I wait to hear I am crossing my fingers and rereading "Breaking Dawn". So for now we will see what tomorrow brings

"Friday Night Lights"
It has been several days since the last time I blogged. Friday was a good day doing the usual of preparing by cleaning the house and laundry for the weekend but also trying to get ready for Sat. night were I was scheduled to work on "Friday Night Lights". The call time was 5pm and the email said could go until 5am the next morning so I was gearing up for that. So Sat. came and it was really hot outside and it was a football game so we had to dress in fall clothing!! I brought several different colors but the main ones were red and burnt orange. I started out rutting for the Hawks (burnt orange) and then when they moved us I was then cheering for the Lions (red). It was a lot of fun. The Lions had an incredible drum that would play and really get the crowd cheering and dancing. They filmed us and our reactions to several plays on the field. It was very cool. Number 44 on the Lions came up to wear I was sitting and was taking some pictures and I got to talk to him a little it was cool. He was very nice, and took several pictures with quiet a few of the fans. The heat ended up not being to bad cause they filmed when the sun went down. Then it was back to cheering for the Hawks again. Once by the tunnel and I was in a pretty good spot. Then we moved to the side of the Hawks side line and I was in the front row right were the camera was filming. That will be cool to see. Then it was watching some plays on the field again and our reactions. There was one time that the were filming a catch and the fans but let's just say it took a little while to get that take. We ended up staying until 3am in the morning, so not as late as I thought it was going to be. But I was hoarse by the end and the next morning I woke up I was not feeling the best. I was lying around all day cause I was drained. It could of been from all the yelling or cause I was wearing a long sleeve pull over in the heat. Today I am feeling like I am back to myself. Also found out that I have to do the fitting for the Dallas Bridal Show this week and it sucks cause I am bloated right now!! NO fun!! This always happens to me when I have modeling things coming up. Today I submitted for several projects, also over the weekend found out there is a nationwide search for a 2011 Modeling Contest with Torrid. I have done 3 runway show with them so far and I love their clothes and would love to model for them more full time. So I am filling out the form and will be sending the forms out over the next couple days. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

Audition "Blissful Lies"
Well it has been a good couple days. I have submitted to several different projects. Also I found an address for a part on "Lone Star", which films here in Dallas. It would be a recurring part. So I will keep my fingers-crossed. From what I could tell they wont start filming until July 27. Today I had an audition for a independent feature film called "Blissful Lies". It went really good I believe, they told me that they will let me know in the next couple days. I went for one of the female lead roles. There were 3 different characters that I read. This was a real cold read, I went in they handed me the sides and so take a minute to look over than start. It has been awhile since I have done that. They told me they wanted to hear how I read, but I am a person even as reading and talking I act so I hope that didn't hurt me. I didn't work on "Chase" today but I know that I will again. It is a very cool show and hope to be working with the incredible show. The cast and crew were very cool when I got to work with them when they were shooting the pilot here in March. A good tip of the day is to always go out and audition. It may sound weird but the more I do the more comfortable I feel doing it. So that is all for now, so we will see what tomorrow brings.

"The Favor" and more
Well it has been a crazy last couple days with tons happening. First off let's start the filming of "The Favor". We ended up having to reshoot all of the stuff in the office which is pretty much the entire film. But it was cool cause I felt better about my performance this time than last. I got to put my hair up again in pig tails and for some reason this time my head was hurting I must of put them in to tight. The usual wardrobe that I had last time. We wrapped about 6:00 got some picture with some of the crew (which I put on my website). While I was filming I got an invite to a wrap party for "The Good Guys" which I was totally stoked about. Thankfully we got done in time for me to go to the wrap party!! It was a blast. I got to hang out with all the crew and Diana Maria Riva and Colin Hanks were there. They are about to go on a 6-week hiatus, man going to miss them all. So that was all Sat. and then Sun. had to recover a little from the very long day of Sat. and then had to get ready for rehearsal for the Dallas Bridal Show that I will be in on July 31 here in Dallas. That was a long practice but very cool. I am going to be the last one to come out except for the finally and that one is like a story one. This is going to be a really fun one and as I hear it a huge one. When I got done with that one got home and it was time to prep for my sons birthday party. So Sun. was another long day. Today has been a little less crazy. I did have a friend come over and interview me cause he is an incredible writer and he's helping me cause I will be sending the article to several places (magazines, newspaper, t.v. guide, radio show, and local media). Also got some really cool news that I will be working on "Chase" Thurs. as a Battered Woman, and I have a commercial either on Wed. or Fri. Just got booked on Sat. for "Friday Night Lights" they will be filming here in Dallas, sweet. As far as other projects I have submitted to a couple here in the area, also heard back from that I recently sent out (always a good thing). Got an address to submit for a part on "CSI: Miami" fingers-crossed. Tip of the day never stop believing and if you have to self promote!! So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

Good Days
Well it has been a relaxing couple days since last blog. It has been raining a lot though, UGHHH!! Did some lawn mowing on Wed. and some house cleaning much fun. Thurs. was a relaxing day cause it was raining!! And today I have been working on going over "The Favor" (just refreshing cause it has been couple weeks since I worked on it. It is all in there still. Today submitted to an independent film shooting here in Texas call "Blissful Lies", (which have audition the 15th with them), a couple t.v. shows "Three Inches" and "The Glades". Finally also a feature film called "Hollywood...". I also got the address to 2 more projects called "Home Run Derby" and "Arturo Bond: Dine Another Day" (this one sounds funny). So will be hoping to have time to send out this information out tomorrow. One more got email for audition for voice over work for Staples. Very cool will be doing that tonight hopefully or tomorrow as well. Going to be a very busy day tomorrow!! But that is how I like it. "Chase" and "Lonestar" starting next week and getting excited about that. Also talked to a friend of mine that is going to be helping put together an article that I am going to submit to several different papers (maybe even some t.v.) to just kinda get my name out there more. Right now I am going to put this out there, there is a part that has just now started casting in LA and I am finally going to start putting it out there that I want it. I haven't been trying to say it to really anyone but I finally realized that the first time I started saying what I wanted and believed that I was going to do it and get what I was saying, it happened. So I don't know if many of you are "Twilight" fans but I am (no not one of the crazy stalker types,lol). Just I find the books and the movies are so capturing. I love the story and like a lot of you (if your a fan) have read the books several times. The thing is the first time I read the books it was when I was first thinking about acting and modeling, and it tipped the scales for me. And when I read "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" I connected with the Kate character, she is so cool!! So I am going to go for the role of Kate Denali in "Twilight: Breaking Dawn". I am in the process of getting my manager on this and asking others that are friends in the industry about getting in this audition. I know that I really could bring this character to life, also other fans may find it cool if there were to go watch a see another fan in the final films!! Ok now that I have done that, I look forward to any comments. I will keep everyone informed on what happens and just be waiting to see me in "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" (that is my way of saying I will get this, throwing it out there). So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.

Good Days
I know I said I was going to go on here more and do this more and low and behold my computer messes up on me!! Figures, it seems to be working now so here we go. It has been a couple of relaxing days. Bummed to say that I wont be working on "The Good Guys" before they go on their little break before coming back to shoot the next 7 episodes. Now start the craziness of "Chase" and "Lonestar" which I hope to be keeping me busy very soon. They both start filming next week so I am relaxing while I can. I have filming of "The Favor" this Sat. hope nothing else crazy comes up to were we can't finishing filming. Since the last time I blogged I have submitted to several different projects in the area. I have also submitted to some bigger ones: 2 films "Marvelous" and "Seven Days in Utopia" (which is going to be filming here in Texas, sweet!!), and 1 t.v. pilot "Archaeology of a Woman". I am hoping for the "Seven Days in Utopia" cause it not only films here in Texas but the character that I am going for is a horse whisper in training. Which is perfect I used to train and live on a farm for a big majority of my life. So I am keeping my fingers crossed. Also for the bridal show audition got it!! Sweet!! I am excited to see what wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses I will be in this time. It will be on July 31st at the Market Center Hall in Dallas, so if you are in the area come check it out. Hoping I am not missing anything, almost forgot I got a shirt from "The Good Guys" that says it on the back and then says Cast and Crew Season 1 on the front. It is cool. Ok I am pretty sure that is all, hope everyone had an awesome 4th. So for now we will see what tomorrow brings.
