Upside Down

Very chuffed indeed when I got confirmed for my next Ad. I knew when I was asked to hang upside down on a parallel bar in the casting that my training in Aerial Trapeze would come in handy!! Who Knew?? Smashed it!! Thank you very much!

So a little bit of a kick in the teeth when I got Bumped from being the 'Hero girl' to the Best Friend and seeing my pay-cheque slashed by 1/3.  But I put that down to my looking still about 18 years old (not in denial at all), and when you're advertising a product for the female menstural cycle I think it's probably best to have someone representing your brand who actually looks old enough to have a period 😮

Life's a Ball

The past few months I've spent battling 4am Calls, sickness and vomiting bugs whilst dressed in a Ball Gown, (the corset did not hug and caress my tummy like I foolishly hoped it would) and getting my hair frazzled with hot sticks.

I also saw my featured role in a Commercial diminish to featured extra before my eyes. Yes, that is my hand putting down that plate of Fish and Chips!! Believe me when I tell you that picking up and putting down a plate of food is definitely harder than it looks. Especially when it's shot in reverse!!!

'Before you put it down lift it up slightly, so that it looks like you're picking it up' the 1st AD says to me. WHAaaaaat???

The plate was greasy! The peas had to remain in place. And I had to put down the plate to look like I was picking it up!!?

Nightmare!!!

I did get a free manicure though. My hands looked the Bomb!!!
