I ain't scerred

A couple days ago, I saw an ad from a local slot machine maker on Craig's List for an actress/model for a new game. Having done lots of acting (I was in drama for a year in high school, after all) and lots of modeling (Once I was in a spa video for a hotel I worked at. Also in Yuma I let a friend take some portraits of me to practice for the side business he was starting. Also I tried out for Barbizon once and was accepted, but declined.) I decided to give it a shot.

The ad was pretty vague, so I sent an e-mail and found out they wanted someone for a game with a 1950s, horror B-movie theme. The model/actress was to project a sense of horror. I figured I had nothing better to do, so I made an appointment and started making faces for Chris. He said the faces were good ... but would be better if it didn't also look like I was going to burst into laughter.

Today, I put on some makeup and the most '50s looking outfit I could think of (the ruffled dress and red cardigan I wore on our anniversary - pictured in the upper right corner of our blog) and headed down to South Reno to make some faces. The guy had me fill out a form, make three scared faces for still shots and react three times to a pretend-something-scary for a video. In all, it took about 10 minutes. I have no idea if I was any good (I'm pretty sure I still looked like I was going to laugh), or if the other six people coming in will be any better, but wouldn't it be such a kick if my face ended up on a slot machine?!
