today was awesomness. one of the best jobs ever. awesome band, awesome crew, awesome talent – the video is gonna be great! the guys from the band were so funny, friendly, and just freaken cool. they’re from london. the video was for the song “drama queen”, which is actually a pretty cool song. listen to it on their myspace

we shot all day, from 9 to 9, in a location studio, a set built to make it look like a city from the middle east (look at the pictures). there were 10 girls, representing different countries. i was brazil yeah! we wore very stereotypical outfits, including weapons. bad ass.
we started out all pretty…. but we all kicked each others asses by the end of the song. it was so fun because in the morning we got all dolled up in the make up room, but through the day, the make up artists and hair stylists would literally f us up – bloody lips, black eyes, smeared make up, cuts with dripping blood, ripped clothes, etc. we were fighting for the crown.

four of the girls were stunt girls, we had to fight [Read more →]

so yesterday i got a call. it was a direct booking yay! (that’s when you get a booking/job without having had to go to an audition, they pick you from your photos and resume or agency).

it was for a music video, for “switches”, a band from london, signed with interscope. they are awesome and i like their music. it’s actually my type of music. www.switchesmusic.co.uk
my role was going to be “miss brazil”. i guess there was no miss peru, or miss italy haha. anyway, good pay, and a large production. the production manager said it would be very fun. so i said hell yes.

i asked when the shoot was. she said TUESDAY. uh oh….. i have a photoshoot for hitch couture… i was double booked. once again [i was triple booked in one day in january. IT SUCKS]
i called jeanne. she was in a great mood. i begged her to please please move the shoot. (just really want to do both jobs). i thought it would not hurt to ask. she was so nice, she said she was gonna try to move it. so today she texted me and said the shoot will be later this week, either wed or fri. thank you j! seriously how cool is she.

adam, our kitty leona, and me went to the fitting (where i try the outfit i will wear for the shoot) for my role as miss brazil earlier tonight. i also got the call sheet. all i’m gonna say, is that i will be wearing a green and gold ensemble of a dress and jewellery, and sequin. oh, and there will be action…

i am very excited and probably should go to bed cause my call time is 9 a.m.

i drove to beverly hills today to go to a video shoot for Huecco, a latin alternative singer from spain with a gold album and a double-platinum single. (i used to listen to that type of music when i lived in lima. i really miss it on the radio!)
the shoot did not take long. i was there for literally 40 minutes. i got there, went to make up, and went straight to the camera. my role was short, but camera was full on me. it was a cute role. will come out in march/april :)

then i met Huecco, who had just gotten there. he was super nice, we spoke in spanish yay! we talked for a bit, told him i like his music. he was nice and very down to earth – it’s just awesome to meet singers who are as cool as their music.
exchanged numbers for contact, and for a possible coffee before he gets back to spain. look forward for the video!
check out his site and listen to his music: www.huecco.es
