Day 57: Hate to admit it but I took Saturday off and did absolutely nothing career-related. I did, however, enjoy Jayden's basketball game. At his age you're rooting for everyone to do well, even the other team.

Day 56: In order to take advantage of Argentum's 2 for 1 Pilot Season Special before it ends on Monday I took some new headshots. This was my first paid headshot session since we moved here and it was WELL worth it. I'd been wanting to shoot with Bradford Rogne of Photos LA for awhile now so I asked him to squeeze me in at the last minute and he did. Though the entire day and night was a rainy mess which caused traffic to be at a standstill, he not only accommodated my tardiness but the entire time I felt like I was in such great hands. He did my makeup flawlessly {it seriously convinced me to take a few classes at the MAC store} yet it still looked very natural and fresh. Though I scheduled a 2 look session we got each look with both my natural hair and what I call my "glam hair" AND he even threw in a few shots of a third outfit right at the end, love it!!


















Pardon the photo overload but the hardest part of all of this will be choosing which ones to use! As you can probably tell I'm way more comfortable smiling and laughing then looking all sullen and serious but all I need is one theatrical shot so I'm good to go. If you're thinking of getting new headshots I can't recommend Bradford enough.

Day 55: Drove around the westside with the homie Tara T. doing commercial drop-offs. This was my first time ever doing drop-offs and it wasn't as nearly as scary as I thought it might be. The cd's {who were there} were friendly enough and those who weren't there had drop boxes for us to leave our pictures. Since this was a joint effort with classmates from Class Rules we had 8 photos for each office that we were dropping off and 6 of those were of women. Gives you a bit of perspective on the lopsided female to male actor ratio out here. The only thing we didn't do that we should have done was research each office before leaving. As a result we went to a few offices who had moved so that was a waste of our gas and more importantly, our time, lesson learned!

Day 54: Slow day on the acting front. Nothing here but Actors Access and LA Casting submissions, which is still something but it feels like nothing because all it requires is for me to click & submit.

Day 53: Started reading Bitch is the New Black, the Helena Andrews written Shonda Rhimes produced book-turned-film project I've been  following very closely since I first heard about it a few months ago. So far it's an interesting read but I wonder if older people who read it really get it because it's written in a conversational tone that a lot of us social media driven young folks use. I'm only 3 chapters in but so far so good. I see a lot of my friends and a lot of myself {pre-marriage} in this book.

Day 52: Monday was Funday as we spent this day on set cracking up the whole time. Funny folks Ben Whitehair, Che Landon, Pilar Kuhn, Caroline Grace and Eric Goldrich who are all in episode 4 kept us in stitches. The whole day was really a great example of how fun it can be working with actors who are good at improv and how much they can add to your writing when they get an opportunity to play.

Effing Cheapskates!

Badass Barista

Making sure everything looks just right

In between takes she was literally a one-woman show.

So excited to be getting married!

This will be a match made in Heaven... or so Khristy thinks.

Day 51: On Sunday we shot episodes 3 and 5 of Diary of a Wedding Planner and had a blast! It was a long 12 hour day but so worth it because we got a lot done. The apartment we shot in was so colorful and had so much character that there were very few items we had to bring in for production design. And we all breathed a sigh of relief once the sun came out because it had been raining so hard the night before but there was no sign of it on Saturday so yay for Mother Nature smiling on us!

Who doesn't love a good cupcake? Thanks Nikki Hayden aka Rachel the Roomie.

I said it wasn't rainy. I didn't say it wasn't chilly!

Best. Roomie. Ever. This chick is seriously hilarious!

Who do we have here? Why our fearless director Allison Vanore, that's who!

Can someone say cray-cray?!?

She loves me. She loves me not. Guess which one doesn't want to hire me.

Has Khristy's turn finally come?

Aww, love sweet love.

Day 50: Spent most of the day driving around in the rain to handle all the last-minute details for the shoot. First I went shopping at Michaels for some of the wedding props then to Ralph's to get snacks for craft services {that's the snack table for film/tv shoots for my family who's wondering}. I had to stop by our cafe location to pay to rent it out and I also decided to buy some shirts for my wardrobe since I needed bright colors and didn't have a great selection already. Once I finally arrived home I gathered everything together- wardrobe, props, paperwork, etc. and around 11:30 pm I passed out with one of the scripts in hand.

Day 49: Met with some of the actors in the next 3 episodes of DWP to have them complete their paperwork needed for SAG including the New Media Contract and the taft-hartley reports. Called Station 12 to make sure they were all cleared to work.

Day 48: Met with a publicist to receive a few wardrobe pieces that a client of hers has sponsored for our upcoming DWP shoot. We talked out about my marketing and pr goals for the show and she had some really cool ideas that I'd like to implement after the next episode is released. I decided I'll be retaining her services for the last 3 episodes since there are a few items I have on my wish list that I'd really like to have sponsored by local businesses.
