"Mama, I'm a big girl now..."

Disney Audition went GREAT...been a busy week already, as I flew back to CO for a few short days for some work, and seeing friends and family. Headed to DC on Sunday for a Hairspray audition...my dream show of a lifetime, and I get to audition with one of my best friends...:) Should be a great time, and a great experience...let's hope we land it! Would be so fun to spend the summer away performing that show! Also, filming an audition for a feature film on Friday...this role is perfect for me...an aspiring performer is being held back by the wrong things...

Off to bed, but wanted to at least get in a quick update...

Hope all is well!

Red Carpet....Disney, Disney, Disney...What more could a girl ask for?





Busy, busy, busy today preparing for a BIG audition tonight.

Have a Disney audition with the head casting Executive that casts Disney Channel shows such as "Suite Life On Deck" and "Wizards of Waverly Place" etc. She is looking for new female faces :) I have to play young down to 15, so lets hope I can pull it off! I have to be at the casting office down in Ventura at 7, half an hour before my audition time to rehearse with my scene partner, and then head into the audition room at 7:30...reading a scene from the hit show Degrassi: The Next Generation...you may have heard of it...it's a big hit on Nickelodeon.

It has been an incredibly busy week as always...it's funny because one minute things seem so quiet, and the next everything literally just comes at you all at once, and you have to handle it in one full swoop...it's a pretty incredible challenge if I have ever seen one, and if anyone ever truly learns how to master that, I will be incredibly impressed.

Went to two premieres on Wednesday night :) My first big red carpet experiences...both down in Westwood...first went to the premiere of the "Back Up Plan" with Jennifer Lopez and Alex O'Loughlin, then headed over to my brother's premiere at the Geffen Playhouse...the opening of his show "Nightmare Alley" starring the incredibly talented Broadway star, James Barbour. There was an amazing pre-party beforehand, then the show, and an after party following...it was incredible...that night pretty much reassured that I am meant for this scene...I LOVED it...it was truly like living a fairytale...I walked down the red carpet standing right next to Helen Mirren. I mean seriously?! Dream come true...

So here are some pictures from the premiere...unfortunately, not allowed to take them at the movie one :/ But, enjoy! And please wish me broken legs for my audition tonight! I will hopefully update more tonight or tomorrow!

"A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes..."



I apologize that it has been so long since my last update...I hate to say yet again as an excuse that things have gotten crazy, but I would be lying if I said something different..I often just get so caught up in daily things like running errands, packing because I literally travel every other day, classes, and then just trying to take some time for myself...the day just constantly gets away from me!

So an update on my life...lets see...I went to Altar Boyz Opening Friday Night and Ryan Turner picked me out of the audience and sang a whole ballad to me...it was pretty much perfect...gotta love getting pulled up on stage by one of your best friends :)

Saturday morning was an absolute blast...many of you don't know but I have been working on writing some songs for about the past year. It started off about two years ago when I started messing around with lyrics and decided I would be really interested in making them into songs...so I started learning how to play guitar and know my basic chords, but am not exactly good enough to compose my own songs quite yet. So I contacted a friend of mine, Berit, who I met in my Freshman year, who I knew was an incredible guitar player...and asked her if she would be interested in turning my lyrics into songs...and sortove becoming a songwriting team. So over the course of this past year, we have written about 6 songs and are working on a few currently as well...so a couple of weeks ago, my manager contacted me asking if I had any original songs because if so, she wants me to submit them for a new project...if we are picked for this, we get interviewed and play our song live...I am not hoping for anything, as I am just honored in general to have even been able to record my first original song!

Then I was headed to the airport Saturday afternoon for a flight to Orlando, Florida! It's time I get some actual relaxation and personal time for me...been laying out by the pool, went shopping and bought a new suit...just loving the fact that I get to relax for once...what is the chance of that?

Hope everyone that celebrated Easter had a great day and everyone else had a fantastic weekend! Miss you all and will keep you posted more frequently! I promise!
