Sunday Sept 7: Fake Celebrity

I shot a commercial today. Nothing that you’re gonna see on television or anything. Just a commercial for a website. I’m working with this designer who is launching her own clothing line and so I was in her commercial. It was really really fun. What was pure comedy are the people who happen to walk by as you’re shooting. They see cameras, makeup artists, etc. but can’t for the life of them figure out who the heck you are. They stop, look and point and then give up. I’m nobody people! I mean I am somebody just nobody famous.

Second to that was the fact that my shoes were entirely too big! Without a doubt I have been a size 10 for years. Sometimes, depending on the shoe, I can get in a 9 ½. But for some reason I have noticed that some of my shoes are now flopping in the back. There are several reasons this could be like the fact that leather stretches but I am convinced my foot has shrunk. I have read that when people lose weight it is possible for their feet to shrink. Over the past year I have lost close to 20 pounds and went from a size 9/10 to a 5/6. So yeah I think my foot shrunk. They should make shoes in quarter sizes like 9 ¾. That would fit perfectly.

So I was wearing my heels and they just start flopping off my foot and I am trying to keep a straight face. Finally we have to stuff tons of tissue into the back of my shoe so they will stop coming off. What is worse is that instinctively you begin to clench your toes so your shoe will stay on which is highly uncomfortable.

What else? I tried a Jamaican Beef Patty for the first time. It was pretty tasty. I really enjoyed it.
