Audition outfit: beer company print ad
I had a go-see for a beer company print ad today. The part I was up for was described as "outgoing, cute, not perfect and unattainable, but the adorable girl next door. Can dig into a hamburger and enjoy it!". I threw on the beer company's logo colors, a padded bra, and I was on my way:
date: 16 November 2009
project: print ad for a beer company
role: the attainable girl next door
dress: F21
textured tights: Target
boots: Anne Klein
bracelet: Tiffany's
belt: thrifted
I don't usually like doing print ads. I feel incredibly awkward at professional photo shoots. I never know what to do with my face or my hands or arms and legs, no matter how many episodes of America's Next Top Model I watch. But because this one was for a "girl next door" type and not the buxom, bombshell type, I told my agent (reluctantly) that I'd do it. I was supposed to bring a couple cute friends with me, but alas, all my in-town buddies have school or work, so I had to show up solo, like a friendless loser. That's why I was so relieved to see my blogging buddy Tolly at the audition desk when I got there. She, too, was unable to wrangle her friends for the go-see, so we were so delighted to be photographed together!
Speaking of photography, my good buddy Chris got me this to die for Polaroid for my birthday!
I was so excited to receive this because I'm bananas about Polaroid photography and have been searching for this camera for a while. My Grandpa had the same exact one, and it was a permanent fixture of my childhood. I can't wait to mod out some of my 600 film and start shooting with this bad boy. Thank you, Chris, for such a thoughtful gift!
(update 17 November 2009: I forgot to say the audition went well. It was quick and they were seeing a ton of people. I still maintain I'm a little too awkward and tall for print work!).
