Alright, this should have been written eons ago but I’ve been busy as all hell with everything else that could possibly happen. Hmm… where to begin. JUNE PURGATORY! Let me say, it was the most fun I’ve had in a while. Granted, I entertained thoughts of killing my cast, but they pulled through and put on one hell of a show. Kudos to everyone who helped make it one of the best and still talked about shows around. For those of you who didn’t get to see the mayhem, I’ll give you a small synopsis of the show:

Little girl goes to a mysterious carnival where she encounters the strong man, and the ringmistress. Everyone in the carnival—including the snow leopard that jumps through a hoop—has a white emotionless mask on, with the exception of the ringmistress herself. She’s shown the bearded lady, the Siamese drag twins, the snow leopard, and the strongman, each performing for her. Suddenly, they all turn on her and do wonderfully horrid things to her (tie her up with bondage tape, rip her clothes off, force feed her, drip candle wax on her, flog her). She’s set on a chair and the ringmistress proceeds to take a meat cleaver and remove the young girl’s pretty face. She replaces it with a white mask, and places the severed face on a display board with the faces of all the other carnival performers. The little girl then takes her place as the newest act for the show.

Yes, everyone loved it and I enjoyed doing it. Let’s see.. what else has everyone missed. Yes, Body Painting with the very talented Pashur. ^_^ That was loads of fun. I’ve worked with him 3 times so far, and I’m looking forward to working with him again soon. Hell, we might become hanging out buddies; he acts like so many people I used to hang out with back in college. I was fortunate enough to get painted as Set, the Egyptian God of Destruction; as Osiris, the Egyptian God of the Underworld; and as a zombie. I even went to the mall into Spencers all Zombie-fied.. freaked out a LOT of people hehe ^_^

We now fast forward to the August Purgatory.. which I unfortunately missed due to ridiculous circumstances beyond my control: namely, I was arrested. Yes, you heard me correctly. Arrested. Apparently—after having to ask 5-7 times why I was being pulled over—I was driving with a suspended license, which should NOT have been since I got that mess cleared up back in February. Someone, somewhere fucked up. So I get taken in and get processed, which they assure me won’t take long. 3 and a half hours and no phonecall later, I’m let go..VERY pissed off. I did get to see and hear some interesting things while in the jailhouse—and no, I didn’t wear one of those orange jumpsuits. One guy actually had the nerve to argue with a cop after he’d been brought in “ Hey man.. I don’t see what the problem is.. I mean.. if I’m shooting at someone, how is that against the law or wrong?” I shit you not. He actually said that. Another guy.. I don’t know what the cops did before he was brought in, but the man pissed himself.. I was embarrassed for him.

That should bring us up to the here and now. I have a LOT on my plate for this month and partially next month. I went to a talent/model audition last weekend after having filled out an app (I was stopped in the mall) and getting a call from one of the agents to attend the audition. I went in and talked with the judging agents who looked at my bone structure and talked to me to get a feel for my personality. After looking at my application and all of the singing, acting, and modeling experience I’ve had (roughly 10 years at least for all three) they asked me the earliest I’d done each. (singing in choral groups since 8th grade, 1st time on TV doing WTVI Kids’ Club when I was around 6, modeling since I was about 16-17) For the 2nd time going up, instead of saying a TV commercial line, they wanted me to sing for them so they could hear my singing voice. Other people decided to sing too: I was surprised this 14yr old girl knew the words to “Weak” by SWV… that song is ooold school. Anyhoos, instead of picking some popular top 40 song, I went a little more classy, and sang “Come Back With that Same Look” from the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical “Song and Dance”. Apparently they loved it, because I made the final cut!! I talked to an agent the next day and read over and discussed a contract. Luckily, I’ve had to read far more complicated contracts at my full time job, and I made sure every little possible thing was explained in detail. I got to look at my audition sheet, and the agents that were there judging wrote down that I’m highly marketable, and can be used for magazine, print, billboard, runway, high fashion, parts modeling, fitness, voice-overs, television commercials, television acting, film, and radio. Being versatile pays off ^_^

Nearing the end of this month, I have a shoot for my professional portfolio (physical and online port) and comp cards on the 20th, and then the very next day I’m going to be doing runway for a hair show, modeling a new style from RUSK. I’m SUPER excited that things are finally starting to come together for me. And to top it all off, I’m working on my show for this upcoming Purgatory. ^_^ Can we say busy busy?

I wouldn’t change a thing though!
