Fashion (turn to the left!)
Well team,I went to my first audition on wednesday morning. It was for a certain Host Hunt,(the waiver says I'm never allowed to speak of what happened, how hilarious is that?) because I figure if someone wants to send me around the world to sit front row at runway shows, then send me backstage to interview the designers, that's ok with me. A weekly article about fashion? Still ok by me. Could I ever give the glamour of NHW? It wouldn't be easy, but I could manage.
How hard could it be? I whipped up a little resume, highlighting my relevant experience, got there early and met the rest of the keeners, and prepared to rock the Aud. Except that when I got in front of the camera, I felt distinctly uncomfortable. I forgot how hard it is to be yourself when you are being taped. I mean, there is NO escape from the eyes; they can pause and rewind and watch over, and over. Suddenly I am doing all these mannerisms that aren't ME; I've got my hand on my hips, I'm flinging flirtatious looks over my shoulder. All in a 15 second throw to the camera (which I'm sure I royally buggered). Yeesh. Well, they told us if anything interesting happened, they'd let us know by the 14th, but I'm not holding my breath. I will say this though; I met a very cool new friend, and I was one of perhaps 5 women who did not look like an eighties reject. Cold comfort, I suppose :)
In other breaking news, I've got an interview at Quicksilver next week. That could be very cool. We'll have to see :) Yeah for Fashion! Let the weekend of sewing begin! (I'm making hot skirts, and two halloween costumes. Christine and Kim are gonna look good.)
