craaaazy april coming up
so today i got a call from my agency. “are you free right now because we need you to go down to santa monica for a photo shoot, for a magazine editorial!” my response: “um…. maybe… how much does it pay?” (but in my mind, “shit!!! why today of all days!!!”)
i came to downtown los angeles today, and decided to carpool. my first time carpooling this year. and last. i swear.i am all about saving gas and the environment, don’t get me wrong, but my modeling career and how last minute it is, really leaves me no choice. i need to be available if i want to book more jobs. i had no time to go home, get my car, and drive down to santa monica; so i told my agent “no…. i can’t do the photo shoot!!!” :(
everything came down on me today. i was going crazy because today i happened to book a lot of stuff, most of which does not have exact dates.
my agent informed me of an audition tomorrow, for a motion picture i can’t disclose apparently (starring bruce willis). nothing too crazy, i would be just a featured character, but still a big feature film and i get to meet and talk to the director tomorrow. little problem: they do not know the exact date when the film will shoot my part, they only know it shoots “between april 3rd and 16th”, and that it will shoot one, two, or three days. it’s always like that though, but i still don’t like it because i always want to know what exact days i’m working or not.
so the reason why i was crazy was because i’m already booked for the 4th , 6th, and 10th, for different shoots and also on another day “between the 10th and 17th”. on top of that, i may be going to hawaii for a photo shoot for 7 days “sometime in late april” (hells yes!!!).
that AND it’s also kitten season, so i will be bringing in some more foster kittens mid april….. and i will be cleaning cat poop 24/7… though i may not be able to foster as many kittens as i did last season because i know i won’t have as much time, i will still try my best to save their lives.
i can really feel that business is starting to pick up :) march is not over yet and i’m already booking most of april, which is very impressive considering how effin terribly slow february was. march was ok.
funny to think i started modeling professionally and full time exactly when the recession started….. december 2007. but 2008 was not bad at all for me (lamborghini campaign, shoot w paris hilton, national commercials for mercedes benz, oil of olay, fashion week, etc) which makes me think what it would be like when the recession ends….
hopefully this year will be better than the last!!! let’s bring this recession to an end!!!
