Aerial Acrobatics and Movie Sets


This week was a very busy and interesting one! I had several writing sessions to tweak songs that were already written and I gotta say, I'm so excited about the new versions!!!

The other day I was in the TV show "The Carrie Diaries" for the second time. The first time I was in an episode, I played a high school student in the school. This time, I was at prom! (For the record, staged proms are much more fun then real proms! Or at least better then my senior prom!) I went to the fitting expecting them not to have an 80's style prom dress small enough to fit me but they did! Turns out I'm not the only teeny tiny actress on the show! The dress they gave me to wear has been in the Warner Brother's movie/tv show costume collection for decades and was the dress that the Lead actress AnnaSophia Robb was wearing for a scene in the first episode that got cut out. People on set were constantly telling me I looked like her so its probably a good thing she wasn't seen with that same dress or we totally would be twins. The other difference between this time on set and last time was that this one went ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT! 14 hours of being on set in high heels and a dress! It was brutal but I'd totally do it again and probably will! I was in direct view of the camera this time too so I can't wait to see the episode!

Today I went to take a dance class and once I got there I found out the class was cancelled so instead, I took the Aerial class! I WAS A BEAST AT IT!!!!! All those years of being a competitive gymnast paid off I guess! This particular aerial class was called "aerial silks" which means there are 2 connected giant pieces of silk fabric hanging from the ceiling and you wrap your legs in it and do tricks in the air! It's exactly what the music artist Pink does on stage!!!!! I thought of her the entire time I was upside down! I never thought I would actually get a chance to do something like this and can't wait to do it again! Now if I can only figure out how to play guitar while hanging upside down from fabric in mid air...hmmmmmm maybe next class. ;)
Pink!




Just hang in out
