Can you believe it?!

Words cannot describe how I am feeling right now.  I came to New York praying to book one show, and a not likely goal of 3 shows (which would make for a successful first season) and I have just found out I have exceeded my goal! and have done 3 shows and have one today and tomorrow making me book 5 shows!  Lauren Moffatt, Suzanne Rae, and Ann Yee and the next 2 have to remained unnamed until they are over, but they ARE runway!  And the week is not even over, but I don't care if I book anymore, nothing can ruin my mood right now not even missing a chance to see Justin Bieber live on SNL!  My mom and I were planning to join the other mob of teenage girls waiting in the NEMO blizzard to get a chance to see the superstar/ my one true love ;) but my other true love, MY JOB, got in the way, but nope!  Im not upset in fact I couldn't be happier.  On top of all this I got to see my good friend Elizabeth!  Her and her mom came to NY fro her sweet 16 and I got to see her and get dinner!  SOOO nice to see a familiar face here in this big city!!  SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New friends and Bookings!!

6 castings today leaving me exhausted because I woke up only expecting one!  Came home around 7:00 to find out I booked 2 shows for tomorrow!!!!!!!  Which means I am one show away from my goal of 3 shows.  One of the shows I booked is one Ive had my eye on since we got in New York eeepppp!!  The second show tomorrow will be with one my new friends Jenna who is one of the few other girls who is also 15, so it will be lots of fun!  I also made a new friend Lenox from Georgia and she is 17 we found out we had the same casting schedule and spent the whole day together and then got tacos at their hotel!  We had a blast.  My first casting of the day was for a commercial, my first television casting ever, but I was auditioning for a non speaking role and let's just say it was extremly awkward haha I stepped in front of the camera and just smiled and they yelled action!  And Im like hold up, action for what?!  No one had told me what to do!!  And then they said to holed up my hands and flip them and then turn side ways...and that was it...so weird!  haha It would definitely be fun to get ( not only because of the pay)  but its a very popular hair care brand and I would love the experience, but my hopes aren't high.  Hopefully I can sleep tonight, probably not!  P.S we also had a trip to Dylans Candy Bar the day before... talk about a stomach ache!!!!  Also tried to get some school work done...not so successful 

we get lost a lot....

    Today I only had one casting (kinda thankful after yesterday) and unfortunately the client looked at me for MAYBE 30 seconds and then said I could go, bummer :(  Our ride there was kind of interesting.  Our plan was to take a taxi over there and then ride the subway on the way home.  Our taxi ride was fine until we came to a complete stop going on 10 minutes, meaning our pay rate was sky rocketing so we decided to get out and walk past the traffic and catch a new taxi.  But of course, right as we get out the line of yellow taxis started to move again, so we got back in our taxi and our driver was so nice and turned off the pay meter and we got to my casting in plenty of time.
     On the Bright side the location of the casting was in Soho, a great shopping area.  We planned to just stop at Bloomingdales in search of the perfect pair of leather pants, but then of course we saw Nordstrom rack and forever 21 and then topshop, Urban outfitters, Vince Camuto and we didn't make it to Bloomingdales until 6:00!! After 6 hours of "shopping" I walked away with one shirt and a new phone case....yeah my husband is gonna love me...I hate shopping, mom loveees it.  Oh, and the one shirt we did buy, I lost at Brandy Melville and then we went back to get it and the worker said someone already took it, but mom stepped and said, "can u at least check behind the counter?"  and in our luck the workers DID find it thankfully.
     We got lost on the way home and with the subways still down we were left with the only option of Taxi..oh! I forgot to mention yesterday that as we were searching for a taxi some guy in a black car pulled over and I warned my mom not to get in as he offered us a ride.  The previous day she did get in a random car >insert head slap here<  hahaha apparently Im the only one in the family cut out for city life.  Anywho...we had luck getting a taxi and he litteraly FLORED IT all the way to the apartment, I nearly asked to get out, it was seriously insane.
    For dinner, some chinese take out from Dukes.  I swear the workeres there must think we are absolutely crazy, we are in that place 3 times a day haha!  Thats all for now ~word

Busy day!

Woke up early to shower and head over to my first of 8 castings today along with a call back.  I was excited to have so many things to do today, turns out it was very stressful!  My first casting was a go-see for a book cover that I really wanted to get and hadn't been able to make it to the original date of it but they agreed to see me today, well turns out today was the casting for the boys (the main girls love interest) so I was surrounded by gorgeous guys!! One of which looked like Heath Ledger in the movie "10 things I hate about you" my fave chick flick!  Well, turns out the publishers only wanted a red head and thought I was ginger....which I sorta am, but only in sun light and they didn't believe me, even with photos right there, oh well I'm thinkin I didnt get that haha.  Next came a call back for a designer I was REALLY excited about even just going into my go-see for her the previous day.  I stayed in there a good hour trying on amazing outfits, one after another.  I think it went well but you just never know, my fingers are crossed!!  Then came castings, I thought they were going pretty well and then I had to wait in a TWO HOUR line (which also included hot male models, some of which had english accents;) the 2 hour line, putting me an hour and a half behind schedule, was not worth it because Im pretty sure they didn't like me.  I had a really different and fun casting later in the day at a hotel just for gay people...or excuse me, the first straight friendly gay hotel hahaha but it was probably my best casting yet!  The designer wanted me to do a "Cat woman" inspired walk down the runway and be very "theatrical" I had LOTS of fun doing that walk because I was tired of doing my boring runway walk.  That would be very fun to book!  Oh and no, the actual runway show is not at the gay hotel, just the casting, bummer?  I also got to see 2 familiar BMG faces at the casting which was so fun in a city where I know no one!  Unfortunately I couldn't make it to my last casting of the day because there was a water breakage shutting down the 2 subways I needed to take to this casting!  And to top it off it was during rush hour so it was IMPOSSIBLE to hale a taxi and way too far to walk in the freezing snow.  Not to mention being an hour and a half off schedule from my casting earlier in the day.  For lunch today, we didn't have much time so I grabbed a quick hot chocolate and salmon tartini and for dinner we were exhausted from leaving at 7AM and getting back in our apartment at 7PM so we got pizza from Cafe Duke yum!  Pepperoni, bacon, and green pepper! I am SO ready for bed, tomorrow doesnt look TOO busy which Im kinda actually happy about after today.  Some exciting opportunities in a few days though, looking forward to it!!!
