Handy Spotting

I was down in the Battery Park area a month or so ago and had a lovely surprise sighting of a Hamilton Beach display outside of Century 21!!!! I was heading to the Staten Island Ferry for a ride with a friend and found myself staring up at my hands in the large window display. quite a fun moment :)



The end of the summer was fantastic with a few trips out to LA :) and I am still amazed that it is almost HALLOWEEN!!! Time flies. I've gotten to work with so many wonderful people in so many interesting places over the past few months and consider myself so fortunate to be able to lend a hand on so many fantastic projects.

Keep an eye out for tv spots for Poise, Veramyst, Cranium & Oil of Olay where you can find me pouring, spraying, playing & lotioning. Looking forward to sharing the tears and spots as I find copies.

Ugly NY Meeting

 Today I headed out (after the gym of course) to get my hair cut and blown out.  Oksana can make magic with my hair and I always like for her to make it perfect when I have big things happening.  After that was over, I called up Geri at UglyNY to see if I could come in early for my appointment.  She was very gracious and said sure, whenever..so I walked on down to 26^th street and head on in, feeling great with my hair all wavy and bouncy.  ☺

Geri Lynn Prentiss is a lovely African American woman with a really cute short hairstyle.  Very vivacious and friendly.  Loved everyone in the office immedietly.  They really made me feel great about working with them.

Geri is going to Canne and wants to take my pics with her - yah

Yvette – tall slender dark straight hair past shoulders

Dee – shorter Hispanic, wavy brown hair to shoulders

Simon – owner –  tall slender (model) a Jed Todd type.  British accent.  Has done some hand modeling.  Is a SAG actor.

Great aunt is 80 and still modeling.  Just did a fashion show at an old folks home.  Has 8 year old daughter who just did a hand shoot for jewlrey.

They all loved my books and want some actual plainer (not so pretty) pics of all of me for their CP division.  Simon said that I could make up cards for $150 for 75 cards or we could start using the ones that I have.  I suggested starting with what I have.  I think they are going to put me on the website for free.  

I am really excited about this agency.  I think they are going to push to get their dept up and running in NYC and I feel that I will be taken care of and that I will be a priority for them to get for the casting.  This will be a way for me to get in on more face opportunities.  I am very excited.  Geri also said that if I see a campaign that I feel I am right for that I should call her and tell her and she will find out who does it and try and get me in.  This feels like a real agency relationship.  Yah…

Gave everyone my magnets and they love them.    

Then went to print ny and proofed my hand comps.  They look wonderful and I know are going to print fantastically.  I am so excited to get them back early next week.  They are going to bump me waaaaaayyyy up in the world o’ d’ hands.  Now I’ve just got to get cracking on getting the out.  Project for this weekend.  Address the envelopes ☺

Dunkin' Donuts - BG - 4/20/2007

Today was a good day a great day a fabulous day.  My fabulous new roomie and I left our fabulous new apartment in the fabulous early hours to go work out at the fabulous warehouse style gym 3 blocks away (I could easily imagine the equipment cleared and in the center of the place - a big ole boxing ring.)

And that start turned into a beautiful drive on a beautiful day with only merge traffic at the GW Bridge.  I find a lot of people haven’t grasped the whole zipper effect in merging.  So simple and yet so far fetched to some.  They make a traffic sign with a giant zipper to put in areas of intense merge.  The day was too pretty too really care and there was a fun happy bum making some bucks from his bravado for dancing in the middle of the merge.  

The windows down, music up sunny day drive got me to an executive park in Fort Lee, NJ where I spent a highly entertaining 9 hours shooting background for a dunkin’ donuts commercial.   The first 6 hours were spent in holding hanging with one of my fave hand model guys.  One of my first jobs in the big bad city was with Jim and he really gave me a lot of fantastic advice.  There were about 25 of us backgrounders dressed all in black suits with white shirts and one dude in half a chicken costume hanging around.  We found a table with an impressive view of Fort Lee.  Um.  It was an impressive view, the building was up on the side of a mountain with huge windows…not too terribly much to look at..but impressive view of the world.  The cars and building below so small and seemingly insignificant.  Like you could just pick one up and toss it aside…which I would want to do later.  Want to do very badly..very badly indeed.

Chris and Neil joined us and the 6 hours flew by.  They were highly entertaining.  I made ¾ of an ugly hat.  Normally I can finish 2 or 3 on a day like that…  ¾.   Chris suggested I do comedy and I said I would love to though am held back because the only joke that I can remember is
”Where does the general keep his armies????”

Huh?? Huh??  You know???  Do you??? Do you 

Reaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Really really know??

“in his sleevies”

yes.  That is the only joke that I can remember.  It is really pathetic.  Horrible so.  I hear a lot of jokes.  A lot of jokes.  And a lot of damn fine jokes.  Piss yourself in hysterical laughter jokes.  And I can’t remember them.  Not at all.  Not even a smidgen.  And it does make me sad.  I watched in amazed appreciation when people can just fire out jokes.  It is so impressive.     And there I am..  ‘general, armies, sleevies’  huh huh.  Uh.  Sigh.  

So I’m out on the comedy.  

A in the know PA walked by wearing that lovely green tee with PET SOUNDS scrolled across and all four of us responded simultaneously by either pointing, drawing out a yesssssssss, table smack of agreement or thumbs up.  Then all conversation quickly deteriorated into music talk.  It was great.  and my new friend chris turned out to be a bass player.  He’s in a band called mad larry with two of the guys from the bogmen and they pretty regularly in nYc so I’m going to go check them out in a few weeks and get a little Johnny cash rock n roll practice with the photos in.  It is pretty exciting they are going to be opening for the black crowes out in vegas.  

We had an amazing lunch after an incredible craft service table.  They had beluga soup.  What?  Seriously?  Yes.  Beluga lentil soup and it was mmm   mmmm delicious.  Big hunks of brie, lots of fruit.  Deeelish.  Lunch..Definetly yummies there though everything is overshadowed by the strawberry shortcake they had for dessert.  Oh goodness me.  Mmm mmm..  haven’t had strawberry shortcake since the Newport Folk Fest with Phil and Jeff.  I like strawberry shortcake a lot.   

At some point late in the day I got the happy booking call.  A few days ago I headed out to NJ for a go-see, who-C, you-C, me-C? for a nasal spray tv spot.  It was a great hand model catch up.   One of my fave girls just got engaged!  Yeah – happy.  So they took photos of all of us holding the product.  The client needed to see whose hand made it look the right size..whatever the ‘right’ size is. Not too big…Not too small.   Who knows.  I had written the go-see off since it was so late in the day and I knew that the shoot was on Monday.  Plus the other girls there are the tip tops and fun tippy who I shared a cab/PATH ride back with has simply incredible nails.  They are amazing.  She is a fun one.  Makes me realize how little I know about fashion.  I really should probably…maybe? be better at it.  I don’t know.  I just don’t know about bag names or labels beyond shirt/pant/dress.  I was recruited to help pick a pair of shoes to go with a beautiful sounding dress…metal colored dress.  That’s all I got.  I didn’t get the descriptions..nor did I understand the descriptions of the shoes.  I just picked the ostrich ones because –hey – ostrich.  Right.  Sounds like something.  Um.  Maybe I should learn about fashion.  Though I guess I am one step above tard.  At least I don’t wear bedroom slippers in place of shoes.  I bet her feet feel good all the time. 

To sum up – I am bad at fashion.

So back to the day …Eventually we were brought onto set where they placed us around a control tower type of room and as this guy shouted GO!GO!GO! we all had to hustle and bustle frantically about, pointing out this and grabbing that phone and GO!GO!GO! nonstop action.  I flapped my arms about in one rehearsal and they called it a perfect commotion take so I took that to mean that I should flap my arms in every take while scurrying about.  It was fun and quite an energy rush racing all about, a far cry from the shoot last week where I actually had to cry.  Tonight was fun.  And quick.  They shot that from a wide angle about 7 times and then they let 20 people go and they reshot tighter on the principles with the 5 of us scurrying about.  I made sure to flap my arms again. I think I like to flap my arms.  They shot that and it was a wrap.  The incredible view from the holding area showed the unfortunate sight of far too many of those little cars all stopped, not flowing into the GWbridge lanes as I had hoped they would be.  Traffic flowed in all other directions.  Everywhere except NY.  Miraculously the locations guy showed up and gave me a run down on the roads after I showed him the incredible traffic vantage point we were at.  You could actually see ALL the roads from where we stood.   He agreed with my statement of GW-Bad after assessing the situation and pointed out which road I should aim for.  In the parking lot, nancita computer confirmed some directions for me and then as I was pulling out of the exec parking lot, a traffic helper guy (I don’t know if he was actually one though he became one.  He had a car with yellow flashy lights so I waved at him and asked him out to get to NJtrpk.  He got onboard with the mission and drove me to the entrance of it.  Hells yeah.  Go traffic helper guy.  The roads wuz confusin’ and I woulda gotten lost.  So there I was crusin’ right away from all that traffic right on down the turnpike heading for my favored route to the city, the Holland tunnel.  I like it.  It is the way I remember entering the city on a bus with my mom when I was little.  Every year we would come to visit my grandparents and every year I was dragged along to the window displays.  Odd how things change.  Now I love the window displays.  I love Rockefeller center.  I love the tree.  

Anyway…so the drive back to the city was smooth sailing and I got to try the route from the willyB to my fabulous new apartment.  I’ve got a vague sense of the area and turned out that was all I needed and in no time at all I was pulling into rawkstar parking directly in front of my fabulous new apartment.

Target Commercial

love the Target campaigns. They are so active and just darn fun AND I got to be a part of one. One of the hands reaching and grabbing the little 10 calorie chips ahoy cookies. It was a fun day hanging with Christina and Keisha, 2 of the other hand gals. The energy on the set was phenomenal. I think it had a lot to do because of the DJ that was spinning the entire day. I was about to go ask what amazing radio station had been found when I walked around a curtain and saw the whole setup. YES YES YES. GREAT.

so keep an eye out for the spot. I just saw it. There is a gal singing "hello goodbye" the beatles tune with lots of stuff going on. red red red, target circles everywhere. we are holding cookies in our palms and then we close around the cookies and flip our hands and pull them out of view. It is a fast one, I've only caught it once. I'm excited to be a part of the campaign.

Axe Commercial

Got a text from my dear friend Nancy yesterday saying that she had seen one of the Axe Bodyspray commercials that have me spraying the can at the end! YAH! She saw it on MTV so with my new found cable tv, I flipped to the channel and kept it on as background while I did some work!! Within 2 hours I saw the spot and it is hysterical. Has a really cute girl doing the "Bom Chickie Bom Bom" little dance towards a guy who, of course, has the becoming scent of Axe on him. After her little vocal dance, the shot goes to a black screen with the can of axe and I twist the top and give it a spray If anyone has TEVO capabilities and can capture this spot, I'd love LOVE love to have a copy!!!
