Stop, look, listen to your heart, hear what its sayin'

Thank you, Diana and Marvin.

Since I'm coming up on my 3rd anniversary here in New York City I am going to attempt to turn this blog towards the purpose for which it was originally intended. Did you stay with me through that sentence? Good. Then maybe, just maybe we'll all make it afterall.
As some of you may know, I spent 4 years in college studying Musical Theatre. Before that I spent 4 years in high school in One Acts and Spring Musicals and  Community Theatres and Church Plays and talent shows and singing "Here come the Men in Black, Galaxy defenders." And before that I played rocks and Bird #2 and dozens of other applaud inducing roles.... as well as just desperately vying for attention as myself. 

But for the last 3 years I have spent my time auditioning a few times a year, being in ONE show, taking improv classes, and envying other people's chutzpah (I HAVE been in NY). 

My time as a nanny is drawing to a close. I've loved it and feel that I've learned a lot from it but my Dad is right... it isn't what I am here to do. 
I have some money saved. Enough to live modestly for maybe a year (I'm pretty good at budgeting...  don't try this at home). I'm planning on continuing to babysit. I'd also like to do some "gig" type work. Like being an extra or doing some print ads. 
All of this to the point...

I would like to spend one solid year trying to get my acting career started. 

My first move is to get my lovely sister (who is in town this week visiting with friends) to take some headshots and publicity photos for me.  
Lil is a talented photographer with a killer-nice camera. Untapped talent. So I'm trading her airfare, buzz as a future NY headshot photographer (those kids make $$), aaaand possibly a trip to see 9 to 5 for some photos to kick off my quest. 

Second step is to get my caboose to some dance classes. 

Kisses, B
