Patience is a virtue that I sometimes lack in a large way. I have been unemployed for 6 weeks(ish) and have found the vortex of 'why haven't I landed a gig since that last film? I apply all the time. I hunt craigslist and other entertainment job websites and email till my brain hurts. Why why why?' If I ask myself why one more time I'm going to ram my own head into the nearest wall. I sat in front of the computer today reading a blog I stumbled across that is written anonymously by a guy who is currently a PA in LA. Reading that blog did two things for me: it gave me real-world knowledge of the industry and it knocked me down a few pegs. My cover letters that would do amazingly in the business world suck as far as this is concerned. I had to make a third resume today ... just for film! *shakes head* I literally got to a point where I was just in limbo. I wasn't depressed exactly, not really upset and most definitely not happy. I was just in limbo. This strange sense of being about to fall off the cliff, but you still think you can fly. Thankfully I had a few things I had to do tonight that got me away from it all for a while. To make it all worth it, I came home to an email offering me a gig. Unpaid, naturally, but how do you think those that make the big bucks started at this? It was like a breath of clean air in a stifling room with no sunlight. Okay. I can do this ...
Makeup 365:
I know, I know! I'm so sorry I skipped out on three days worth of this project. I still have no idea how many of you look at this or if I even need to apologize to those who do (do you miss it when I don't post?), but there it is. Anywho, here we go.
Day 74:
Tonight's project comes to you from where? Tumblr!

Day 75:
Tonight was my mom's 50th birthday and one of her patients/friend invited us to their country club for dinner. If you don't know country clubs are 'no jeans' type places. I have no problem with this considering I once worked in a business casual environment. It was kind of nice to break out my old wardrobe that I have stuffed into the back of my closet and bottoms of my drawers. I don't have a project or a picture of the makeup for tonight, but here is my look for the evening.
Day 76:
A little nail art! I found this (where else?) on tumblr!
