eighty.seven.

waking up before the sun is something that i will have to get used to, but i am not and california at this time on a friday morning…is non existent. i got ready quickly and will and i headed out the door.  we were driving he joked that this would be the perfect time to shoot an apopocaliptic movie, it really looked like no one lived in LA. our ride was strange through a couple different towns. just outside of LA things a weird, very rundown and random ordered strip malls. the closer we got to the movie set in claremont, the prettier things became off in the distance. you could see the santa ana mountains… we were a little late on set, arriving just at 730 to a lovely house that had the feeling of being in the country.   it was a lot to take in, i noticed first the amazing sliver stream liner and then all the beautufilul people. we had to set up quick and get hair and make.up going. i worked on paige first… she was a tall strange looking character, best described as model like. i liked her features, eyes…. hair… the gap in her front teeth. she wasn't the prettiest person… but she was defiantly beautiful on camera.  it was a quick make.up with the style team to get everyone ready and dressed for the start of the shoot. the stylist were cute, too friends who immediealty made me take off my skirt to be put in the video… they loved it. so did i, will complimented it immedialty as well.  i worked quickly at transforming all the girls into eccentric "coachella" like festival angels. all of them were so beautilufl that it wasn't a difficult task at all. i was able to meet mackenzine who played the little curly girl in seventh heaven and also young dexter. both who were very normal looking people… who just happened to have jobs working on television. i guess you could say I'm not really starstruck because i don't really keep up with either of the shows. it was just neat to have the experience of working on their make.up… helping them put on body tanner.

it was really fun to work with garrett again. i really enjoy him on set, he is very supportive and helpful and i see him as one of the most talented photographers that i have been able to work with. something about him is so intriguing… he is smart,very wise and also oddly attractive. i would say that it is safe to say that he is impressed with my work. after the first few scenes we took a break and sat in the shade to talk… sitting around with these model people.. i felt compelled to take pictures…but i did not take enough at all. it was upsetting because it was my art that was on their bodies, but I'm just not the kind of girl that snaps a bunch of photos of "celebrities". i needed to be in one myself… but that didn't happen either. i tried to be social and talk to a few of them…i was excited that devin was on set and we knew each from the last shoot in santa monica. it was fun to just relax and chat… the stylist girls were complimenting me and asking me questions. the lunch that was prepared for us was amazing… a Mediterranean style buffet of hummus and cucumber salad.. this same meal keeps reappearing. oh so good. i felt like i was in a greece, sitting at the table with the women of the house talking about how they grew up in georgia. i met an adorable couple that when to school in north carolina at duke, they were neat and her boyfriend was in the music industry. i did get to meet the lead guy of jacks mannequin… him and his wife and dog were very lovely and normal… i didn't even know who he was until after he had already left the set. thats how oblivious i can be. the afternoon shoot was fun… they planned for everyone to jump in a pool and then i had to get everyone cleaned up and dressed in white… redoing everyone's make up and painting them with colored paint. we finally listened to the song that the video belonged to… it is a good one. synesthesia… meaning relating one sense to another… with color in this case. the last part was in a field where they danced around throwing colored indian powder at each other. i helped with the movement of colored ribbon… i also was able to go in and explore this trailer that appeared to have belonged to ben harper and the innocent criminals. it was so cool in there… another silver liner that i suppose they went on tour with. it was just so neat to see one of these… as a kid i always wanted to live in one.. whether it be at amanda thomas's backyard where we had one to play in… or aunt audrey who had one her and her husband traveled around in. i can keep dreaming. i took some good pictures with instagram today and managed to get a few comments and likes from… a lot of "followers". two of the models found me somehow… and started following. once the shoot was done… i hung around to clean up and chat. garrett said some really nice things to me… 'keep on mama'. i love it that these influential males keep calling me "mama"… its nice. i exchanged information… shook hands and got a ride to union station from devin. it was nice chatting with her… i could see us becoming friends. she is from colorado and oh os beautiful… that i would love to get to know her better. it was really nice of her to give me a ride.. i was the dj and played a few songs for her from the hound dogs and critters.. but didn't talk about it. we were too busy chatting that i don't think she even noticed that she had never ever even heard these songs ever before. seeing a tractor trailer burning down on the side of the road was crazy… maybe i'll post that one today. stopping at union station was trippy… the entire building was huge, i spent time asking around to figure out how to get to long beach. i figured it out  and managed to finally get a cup of coffee to relax and relive my head ache from the day. it was so good to be here… taking the train home. makes me feel like an independent woman who is conquering the world… alone. the ride was interesting and it was good to see all the bad parts of town along the way… i sang out loud to myself "aint not sunshine" and then realized that i wanted to sing that song… all songs…everywhere. i just want to be the music. i want to sing these songs with either austin or harry everywhere… in the subway, in the train station… on the stairs… on the bus… in the park… on the beach… i just want to be the music. i daydream awhile and then arrive in downtown. the walk with all my bags back to the apartment was the hardest part of my day.. but i made it. back to my lovely oceanside apartment. what a day. the highlight of my career here so far.
