HB & Appearex

I headed out of NYC last week for a go-see in Philly on Thursday. The casting was really quick, just in - snap a pic - and out! and I was on my way south. I had a shoot for Hamilton Beach on Friday and was excited to get to Virginia at a decent hour so that I could stop in and surprise some friends.
We were shooting a bunch of blenders and an iron on Friday and they also had another box on hand for me to check out! I had not seen this one in the stores yet...keep an eye out!!



The following Monday, I continued south to Winston Salem to shoot the latest campaign for Appearex. I am really excited about this shoot because this time they have decided to use more than just my hands!!! They used all of me for the shoot and the pictures look great. I can't wait to get copies.

Lola getting me all purtiefied


The last shot of the day was of me being a tourist taking photos. They really liked my camera and wanted to use it for the shoot. No problem..makes it easier for me to 'pretend' that I am taking pics :P

Work always cancels out Vacations

I was all set on Oct 26th for my trip to LA. My flight was to leave at 8am on Friday...as usual, I got a call about a job. I had gotten a few calls for editorial type shoots for the week that I was to be in LA and my agent and I agreed that they were not worth canceling the trip....now, though, ... this job.. this job was worth it! Another TV spot for Degree! :) I love this client and adore the production studio where they always shoot. So it was an easy decision to cancel the flight. Turned out to be a good thing as I also booked two other jobs during the week that I would have been gone.

The shoot for Degree went GREAT! There were 3 other hand models there to be the forearm gals. I was the deoderant roller :) The shoot went really well, we got all the rolling done before lunch and then the other gals had the dream hand model job..the job that most people think the job is always like (it NEVER is) They climbed up into this 'bed' and just laid there listening to their ipods with their arm stretched out over a green screen. They had to lay there for long periods as it was a time elapsed shot. I think those models can go down on record for having the easiest day on set EVER.
