wigs.

the continuation of my crazy week...

Friday morning.

got off work at 6 am.
went with tiffany to her house to help her pick out what to wear for her photo shoot with Katie Snyder Photography. (will post those pictures later - they are going to be killer!)

while searching her closet I made a wonderful discovery.
her collection of wigs.
blonde, black, pink, & blue.
oh, heart, be still.

some back story:

I've always had a mild obsession with wigs.
I love the idea of them.
I love the way they give you the ability to change your apparence so easily,
which in turn can sometimes turn you into a whole other person. :)

but sadly.
I have never owned any.
& only worn one for a short time for fun/goofing off.

I was always timid about spending a lot of money on a nice one, but not sure if I wanted to get a cheaper one for fear it would look too cheap.

silly little ac.

tiff's are just the inexpensive one's you buy to wear on halloween
& they are soo great!

& I had this wonderful idea:

I've been blogging about this film I've been in the audition process for.
The secret club.
& I was set to go in for my final call back Friday afternoon.
the character I really wanted from described in the script as:

NOREEN - "pretty, with pixie dark hair, dark eyes, & gothic makeup"

another character of the same age range, but not the one I really wanted was,

CAITLIN - "blonde, southern-belle pretty, nervous blue eyes"

I didn't want to be the blonde. I wanted to play something different.

so tiff let me borrow her short black wig to wear to the audition

it was awesome.
the director said he liked it & thought it was "very bold"
& then he told me they were actually considering me for the role of Noreen anyway.

irony.

evidently, they weren't really looking for physical attributes necessarily
& were open to casting different looks than what was listed in the script.
we did talk about maybe the character wearing a wig anyway.

but.
I still have to officially get the part.

I find out this week! :)



here's what I look like with dark hair.
I don't really have a normal picture.
tiff & I were in a silly mood. :)
plus we're pretty gangsta.
