(aka my first movie extra experience) I fully recognize that my acting skills are ... well, they're on the same level as a lot of TV and movie stars, actually -- but still extraordinarily shitty. However, that has not stopped me from aligning myself with a casting agency that specializes in extras. Because life is… Continue reading My Time As A Pretend Stewardess in a German Film

Interstate 95: Where Hopes, Dreams, and Peace of Mind Go to Die
If you have never found yourself on 95 (or, for you out-of-towners, I-95 or The 95), particularly the part that loops around Boston, go right ahead and give yourself a high-five (and no, that's not a sexual thing...yet).

I had written about the Market Basket story and how an upheaval like this was exactly what America needed. They had me on the show to elaborate on my essay, discuss my views… Continue reading What If, As a Model, I Have No Interest In “Breaking Into” Anything?
