Gossip Girl

Never in my entire life have I been into fashion. (Beyond - you know - 1812 French Policeman coats and 16th century English and Italian peasant gowns...)

But - Kat - EVIL KAT - got me into Gossip Girl. We have DEVOURED the first three seasons (the only seasons available) and I THIRST for more!

First of all - to try and maintain a LITTLE dignity here - two of the leads - who play the charaters of Chuck and Blair are two of the GREATEST actors to ever grace the t.v. They are a study in genius. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) their brilliance is offset by how awful the girl who plays Serena is - the fortunate part is that the deadpan catatonic boredom that ensues whenever Serena has a scene only helps one appreciate, admire, and learn from the unique truthful witty line deliveries by Chuck and Blair.

And aside from making me obsessed with being an extra of Gossip Girl when it resumes filming (yay AFTRA card!) I have become completely aware of fashion! HOW STRANGE! All of a sudden - I care how I put my outfit together. I went out and BOUGHT FLOWERY HEADBANDS! I think about how to pair up shoes. I wore shoes that weren't sneakers to WALK AROUND THE CITY today! GASP! I - did some fancy hair curling thingy with my curling iron my hair stylist at Arrojo told me about but I never felt brave enough to attempt. I watch youtube videos on how to do makeup - then do it. I wear --- skirts! it's very strange. And it's --- real fashion - not - let me look like a mermaid or a Renaissance maiden or the aforementioned policeman. I feel so...modern...

Now all that being said...

what else has Gossip Girl inspired?

Well - obviously working on being extras more in t.v. shows being filmed in NYC. $134 a day...better than what I'm making now. Experience. Hey - who knows - I might get "discovered."

I need to enroll in an acting class. But a really good one that I won't immediatley reject (I tend to do that - I"m awful at taking direction) and maybe let me make contacts...

Non-GG inspired things ---

Gonna get certified in tour guiding. Seems like a bearable way to make money - and enjoy NYC as a tourist --- only - an extraordinarily well-informed tourist -lol.

Jen and I proposed our ideas to VLOG - we were approved. So - I guess I'm a co-artistic director of VLOG-works - the "black box" series of workshops and productions presented by VLOG. Doesn't pay - but will sound impressive to Boydy and keep me from going CRAZY until my big break - which is apparently NOT in the non-equity tour of OKLAHOMA...

Now...to find more flowery headbands...
