castings: energy drink, gillette body wash, and levi’s jeans – under the rain
so today i had 4 castings scheduled. unfortunately, i could only attend 3.
i was very busy in the morning, so i left my house at 1pm, and came back at 6. it is very sad to say that because i live in los angeles, i spent almost 5 of those hours driving. (well, i did stop by the pet store on the way back…)
i went to my first casting, it was for an energy drink advertisement. i don’t remember if i was not allowed to talk about it publicly, so i won’t say the name. anyway. so, when i was being semi-interviewed by the casting director, he asked me if i had had that energy drink. of course, i opted by answering what first came to mind, and instead of being smart and saying, “yes i have! i really like it” i said, “no… i don’t like energy drinks. i am naturally hyper”.
not the best answer but oh well. he handed me one, and i drank it. it was like sprite. actually good, and bubbly.
he took pictures of me with the drink. nice and quick.
on my way back to the car (on hollywood blvd), i slipped and ate shit and a guy right in front of the scientology center or whatever that cult is, who was giving out leaflets, laughed at me. pretty hard. well it was raining A LOT, and i was wearing my cute little boots. i forgive you, bastard, cause i laugh as hard when other people fall.
i did not spill my energy drink cause i had already chugged it in the elevator. ha!
ok second casting. this one was on sunset blvd, still in hollywood, not very far from the first one. P&G’s Gillette’s body wash “Pure Divine”, a tv commercial. wonderful pay. if i say what the commercial is about, BBDO might kill me (the advertising agency of gillette).
i met very cute girls. they were all so fun and nice. you would think that a lot of these girls at a casting are catty bitches because they hate you and want the part, but in reality, real/professional models and actresses know that being friendly keeps the atmosphere positive, and that no matter how stuck up you are, it won’t help on the other girls not getting the part. it just creates tension.
my third casting was for a brand of very awesome jeans, miss me, for a catalogue photoshoot. i was soooooo late (i’m danella, i was BORN late). but they were nice and let me go in. tried on the stuff, got some pics taken. nice designs. jeans made my butt look good! they asked me if i was available next wednesday, which i am. i take that as a sign of a maybe. we will see…
