Picking up!

Just when you feel you've been forgotton the crazy wheel turns again.

Such a busy couple of weeks. Thanks to Daisy & Dukes I've had three huge castings! No recalls (yet!!) but I'm always full of hope.

The last one was back at Red Brick studios where ive been before. Poor mum got totally soaked on the walk back to kings x to then we had to wait for an hour as all trains delayed! But we got to go to Hotel Chocolat so all was good 😀 

I've got a training video to film and another casting for a music video, I was offered a TFP during half-term but have had to decline. Mum has been busy getting these for me, they are great for me and building my experience even if they won't help me buy a kitten 😺 

Lots of briefs out there so hoping one is just for me.

Loving my Staveley Saturdays and   really enjoying  Hitchin Thespians as we work towards our Rainbow Connections performance 🌈

Please take a look, these were my first styled outside shoot, i really enjoyed playing with the props especially the camera. You could see through the lens, it wasnt really clear but you could see.

Thank you! 

Mum & dad are well impressed and this is one mum says could be a rock album cover

Skype Interview

Had my first Skype interview on Saturday for a student film. We would of driven an 1 hour and 20minutes to get to the Royal Holloway University but the director said we could do it this way. 

I didnt get the part which was ok. I am too tall and older looking.

On Monday we went to the seaside in Essex babez ha ha it was really nice to have the family and aggie together out.

I have had to self tape today which is good as it came from my agent Daisy and Dukes. I know lots of girls who have been asked to tape so its a big search but you gotta be in it to win it boom 

It was good to hear from Tara and i hope i hear again soon.

Happy Easter - Saturday

Had pancakes for breakfast and my aunty Cher and my cuzs came over. Then we had to go to Croydon to film a reconstruction of an old mobile phone advert. The actual one had Molly in it :-) i kept scaring the guys which made me laugh. Daisy the other actor in it had to scream and it was really good it was so hard not to move when she did it. When i wasnt needed i sat in the car with phoebe the make up artist and we played Crossy which was fun. When i had to go to the toilet i think i frightend some people ha ha. It was cold & Phoebe got me Hot chocolate which was lovely and warmed me up. 

Got a lovely saisage roll from the cornish pastry company at Victoria - yum yum

I had a fun day today i cant wait to see it.

Here i am...

And from a camera shot from Sinatra Bros & Co:

Its pretty cool really 😱

Happy Easter - Thursday

Was so tired this morning, its my first day off school for Easter. But we had s busy day ahead with 2 photoshoots.

We went to the station and mum got her costa then we went on the train. Mum picked the 2 train as she thought it wouldnt be busy and it was a slow one, mum was a but stressed. We got on the underground and it went all through london, we had to make a change to het to Richmond Park. We had to get a black taxi to the park :-) 

We met Rebecca at the park gate and walked through the park, it was like Knebworth Park and had deers. I had some headshots then i put on a long skirt and a crown and held a birdcage i enjoyed it and Rebecca was really nice and made me feel very special. I then put on a top hat which i really liked, mum & Rebecca have the same one.  

I got to look through a telescope over London. 

Here is me with Rebecca Challis

Rebecca took us to train station and the trains are the fun ones with the wiggly bit in the middle - i like to surf in both carriages. We went to the next one & had a mcdonalds and i changed clothes, thrn we went to starbucks and i had a hoc chocolate.

We walked down Portobello road with lots of little shops and saw the shop from Paddington but we coudnt go in as had to meet Danielle. Mum wasnt sure where we had to go but we were ok & Danielle met us and took us to some alleyways where we had some headshots and Danielle helped me with my jacket and told me how to stand and stuff.

I had a great day but i cant wait for a pajama day tomorrow ha ha 

Spring has Sprung!

So we had a totally great day with Gemma at Staveley on Saturday, I got up early and made everyone some yummy lemon cakes and we showed all the parents some of what we've been working on this term. 

Our group got to sing "Somewhere, out there" and "Castle on a Cloud" and we did the "Duloc" song & dance from Shrek the Musical, which was funny :-) - keep off the grass, wipe your....face! and a dance at the end which i got really stressed about last week, but then i was a bit ill, i got it ok this time boom!

Gemma told our parents of the exciting news in November. On our way home from Hitchin mum just started screaming and was well excited about it - i think it will be brilliant!

Today I went back to Hitchin Thespians, it was lovely to see everyone again after the break and we are straight into our next performance which will be called Rainbow Connections. I put down that I would be happy to do solo work and got the chorus of True Colours, which the mums & dads will know as its an old 80s song i think.

I got a CD and a DVD of our show Olivia! The cd has loads of lovely pictures on it of the whole gang, but i cant put them on here as i haven't asked anyone, but i can put a couple where you can only see me.

Want to add that i got my headshots back from Craig really quickly, they came out really nice - and dont really show HOW COLD it was!!

Here are a couple of pics from that shoot.

New Headshots

Went to St Albans today for photos for my new agency.

It was very cold and i wore a variety of clothes. The weather kept changing from cold & grey to cold & sunny and the wind was cold. 

It was in Verumula Park and we used trees as background too. Dad helped the photographer called Craig Topham with the screen. I had a great time and mum kept being silly and making me laugh.

Heres a couple of behind the scenes pics

 After we went into a building and saw a real Roman mosaic floor and how they kept warm with heating under the ground.
