So here I am at LAX at 4:39pm on 5/13/10 waiting for my flight. Let me say this, Delta Airlines employees are sooooo lazy with the exception of this one counter lady that decided to help me out. the skycap decided that I was too close to the cut-off time of 45 minutes in order to get me on my flight. Mind you he had an hour!!! I'm supposed to be in Miami, chillin with my cousin's celebrating Haiti's independence!!!
So he decides to push me off to the inside check-n area for them to deal with me...this was all at 11:30am this morning...yes, I'm still here. An overpriced pizza from California Pizza Kitchen ($9) and 5 hours later......I'm still here. My flight turns out to be a red-eye tonight at 12:40am....So why and I complaining??? I'm on crutches people...and medicated. My brace goes half-way up my thigh!!! These folks act like I'm just fine by myself. I feel like prey out here in this LAX jungle...waiting for a wandering hyena to snip at my heels(6year old pestering a man that is obviously disadvantaged).
I'm just glad that I brought some reading material and my computer....Hit you up later.

Soooo much to catch you up on!!!!
I have been a busy bee lately. I've been lazy as hell though and still haven't enabled my Blackberry to upload what's been going on. Well to bring you up to speed, I did shoot the PSA with WIF(Women in Film) on 4/25/2010. What an awesome experience!!! I had a chance to spend some quality time with Bobby Briscoe and hear from him first hand the REAL story of Viet Nam. Platoon was a pretty white-wash version of what really went down.
All I have to say is what a feeling!!!!! Auditioning for commercials is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than a theatrical audition. I was always wondering what I was going to feel like when I booked my first theatrical job and the feeling that I experienced was not what I was anticipating. I thought I would be jumping for joy. What I felt was a feeling of accomplishment, but at the same time...I've been expecting this. I have prayed and thought about this for years.
The casting was for a PSA (Public Service Announcement) for Operation Gratitude. You have to check this organization out and see what amazing things they've done/do for our Military men and women and are continuing to do. http://www.opgratitude.com/
We shot this on 4/25/10!
I also had my first commercial casting since Killian McHugh's commercial workshop. It was for Barcardi. This was the first time I felt comfortable in the casting room EVER in my life. I am indebted to Killian. I auditioned for the room and let the chips fall where they may. I didn't get the spot, but I nailed audition. I have since seen the commercial running already, and I know why I didn't get picked. Sometimes you're just not the look that they're looking for. Being a former high fashion model this spot can't be about me....it has to be about the product, which is Bacardi. Gotta learn to dress down! lol
I also had to push back starting Kimberly Jentzen's Weekend Intensive. BLAH! I knew that i was going to be having surgery soon, but not this soon! My orthopedic surgeon called me and scheduled me for the 26th of April!! So I virtually went from one day taping the PSA to being a candidate for a Handicap placard! It's all good, because I got what I needed accomplished and I can't wait to see this spot air!
