Monday April 10: First official gig as a model for Pasadena Art Center. I was shitting my pants when I found out it was modeling fashion AND with Joseph but it wound up being absolutely the easiest thing ever, I got paid for it, AND I got to torment an ex. What could be better?
Tuesday: Errands, nothing too crazy
Wednesday: More errands, organizing, worked at Macy's, hung out with Phil watching Reno 911! Season 2, still nothing crazy
Thursday: SAN DIEGO!!! And guess what? It is rather far away from Burbank--who knew? I spenf FIVE AND A HALF HOURS on the road that day traveling to and from a paid modeling gig with a very kindly, funny, nervous, beginning photographer who really needed an experienced model
Friday: Pasadena again--group fashion shoot with Star. There was even a WARDROBE STYLIST who had CLOTHING THAT FIT for me to wear AND there were makeup artists! (Not good makeup artists, but it was kind of nice to sit on my ass and relax, and have other people worry about what I look like;)
Miss Kitty's--won a shot drinking contest, won second place in a Bettie Page lookalike contest, made out with my friend Heathyr for the lovely Kitty's photographer, and had a VERY interesting evening with Mr G AFTER the club--wild even by my standards, but very fun, and I have absolutely no regrets.
Saturday: LANCASTER (or West Bumfuck as it is commonly known) Joy of joys! Shoot with my dear genius photographer friend ravens laughter who is FUCKING amazingly talented--possibly one of the most talented art photographers out there. Did makeup for one gorgeous, fabulously sweet model, and then did my makeup for what promises to be a really amazing image (because it's HIM--not me) The concept? Me first dressed as a man--pinstripe vest, slicked back hair, smoking a cigar, holding a magnum, sitting down, looking as though I'm waiting/searching for someone. Then I put on my black wig, corset, black panties, black heels and have a gun in my hand pointing to where the Eva-man character is sitting looking as though I'm ready to blow my own head off! YAY!!!! I CAN'T wait to see the finished product--ravens was practically orgasming while he was taking my pictures so I was really encouraged by his enthusiasm. He even said to me at one point," You know Eva, you are just one of those supermodels that everyone, no matter who they are, want to work with." I actually got choked up hearing him say that and now I REALLY don't take into any regard what the Pasadena Art Center modeling director said to me. So great to work with such a talented artist. He and his fabulous wife REALLY wanted me to stay and hang out and have dinner/stay over (!) with Joseph and Jeffery "I would fuck you 'til your head explodes" Scott but luckily I had the excuse of having to work. There is no way I would have made out it out of that grouping alive.
Sunday: PALOS VERDES LAST day of shooting "The Living Sword". I feel very indifferent about this film and the people I'm working with are really nice--I just don't care at all about the movie itself--oh well. Made a little bit of money and did some good networking so it definitely wasn't a waste of time:)
