Thanks Nikki.

I found this to be an interesting opinion.

Audition Tip Numero Uno (For the Ladies)

Hey ladies.

How are you?

Just wanted to share a tip. Let me start off by saying this specific tip applies to on-camera auditions only.

I love boots. I love wearing boots over my jeans. Ugg boots, high-heeled boots, riding boots, I love them all. They are adorable when you are walking down the street, hailing a cab, or grocery shopping with your jeans tucked in to them keeping the mud at bay and your legs skinny minny, it's true.

They are not adorable on camera.

I interned at a casting office and sometimes still free-lance there. Recently something came to my attention. A beautiful, slender, statuesque blonde came into the room. She slated her name. The camera pulled out to get a full body shot. I looked at her, oh so pretty. I looked at the monitor. Oh so pretty hair, shirt, nice jeans...

Wait.

Is she hiding cankles? She's so tiny. Why on the screen does she look like big-foot? Oh. It's the Ugg boots with the jeans tucked in. Their creating an illusion.

Now I had time sit and stare at the monitor and figure out the problem. An ad exec will not take that time. They have more important things to do on their Blackberry and MacBooks.

After noticing this trend I decided to make a few simple equations to help illustrate my observations:

Jeans tucked into Ugg boots + pretty girl + video camera = cankle hider/big foot
Jeans tucked into skinny high heeled boots + pretty girl + video camera = thigh thigh thigh all I can see is your thigh that looks larger than I think it should.

So ladies. Next time you go to an audition, just wear pretty flats. They look nice too.

And for those of you reading this who are not actors and are thinking, "Wow. How you look does not matter. Beauty is on the inside."

Well, we're actors and we're judged on our looks. Now, mostly that means "She's too motherly looking," or "She's too classic looking, or "He looks like a Frat boy and I want a Geek."

It's a thing those movie people do so please, don't take offense.

That's it ladies. I hope I made since.

Things That Fascinate Me...

Really it's only one thing: Serial Killers. Well, that's not the only thing that fascinates me, but it's what I'm referring to today. I love books about serial killers, movies about serial killers, and true crime shows. Well, and not true crime shows. Like Dexter. Now that 's a good show. But I'll save that for another day.

All this to say, I just read an article about serial killers that I found on Digg. You can read it here:

5 Horrific Serial Killers (Who Are Free Right Now)


Creeeeeeepy. Especially the video associated with the fifth serial killer. Chills....

Sick Day...

I hate being sick. I hate it. I'm really bad at it. I usually don't acknowledge it and go about my business. I knew I must have been really sick this week because I didn't mind laying in bed all day. It was the only thing that made me feel not sick. I mean, I like to relax like the rest of you but it usually takes me being really sick for me to actually relax.

Yes. I'm aware that's probably not a good thing, but I'm a busy lady as I'm sure all of you are.

I found some things this week that made me feel better. The main was The Tyra Banks Show.

You're thinking, "Molly, you're crazy."

I don't actually like the Tyra Banks show. I really can't stand Tyra Banks. But I love the train wreck that is Tyra Banks and the Tyra Banks show. She's crazy. I couldn't really find any examples so I will share one from an episode this Tuesday afternoon.

The entire show was about HateHers: girls who hate on other girls. The author of a book about this topic and Tyra went on and on about how they would never let their girlfriend leave the house with a weave line followed by a close-up of the only two African-American women in the audience, both with weaves. Now, I know that wasn't Tyra's decision but it was associated with her. And that makes it a Tyra thing. I remember one episode of her show where a young teenage woman was upset because she had become a mother at 16 and now it was "ruining her life." She couldn't do the normal things girls her age did. I thought, "Oh, a show about teenage mothers, okay." No, no. Tyra interrupted this girl to say, "Let's stay on topic. Tell me more about the crying." That's right. The whole show was about people who cry.

Okay Tyra.

Bottom line: if you love train wrecks watch the Tyra Banks show.

Trying New Things

I joined a new gym recently (take that Bally's). Yesterday I took advantage of my free personal training session that came along with my membership. My trainer introduced me to something that I hope to be amazing. It's called a Bosu Ball:



Isn't it cute? She explained to me, while showing off her six pack, that she uses this strange looking thing regularly. When she had her child, she still had a four pack afterwards. She only lost two pack....from birthing a baby. Now, I'm not birthing any babies anytime soon, but if it's that good I'm trying it out.

I'll let you know how it goes.
