HP Web Banner/ Commercial

HP Commercial: 6/21/2010

I just finished up a web banner/commercial for the internet through Hewlett Packard. They hired me as a model for a funny video, where I play a “flirty girl.” They had me and 4 other “flirty girls” standing on a “skateboard dolly” and they rolled us across the screen, behind a super cool rock star guy that we were all admiring. We had to blow kisses, flip our hair… you know, stuff that takes lots of talent.

I will post a link to the ad, as soon as I get it!

SUBWAY Commercial on TNT

6/19/2010

My wonderful agent, Sherrie booked a commercial for Subway, to be aired on TNT during the Daytona 500. It is also very likely that they will continue to air the commercial as their official sponsor spot on TNT. I booked the role of the Victory Lane girl.
Our call-time was 4:30am at the Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA. I stayed in a hotel in Fairfield to avoid a 1.5 hr drive, and woke up feeling refreshed at 4am! When we got to the raceway, they gave us credentials for the garage and pits, which would have been awesome if I knew anything about Nascar racers.
We drew lots of attention during filming, and met plenty of crazy Nascar fans who wanted to take pictures with us. It was a great day and I even ended up working that night for Scion & Toyota, after the marketing manager spotted me leaving the parking lot. I got to drive around in the Scion car and hand out prizes to fans. It was a pretty awesome job.

Miami Promo Flyer


Sometimes when you do a shoot, you never know where the pics will end up. In this case, this flyer was found features some of the pictures from last year's RIDES shoot.

LA Trip

MUSIC VIDEO cheerleader audition LA & Garment District Trip:

I don’t always post my auditions unless, they are unique or special, but this was my first LA acting audition, so it has to be documented. J I was called as one of 7 girls to audition for a Punk-Rock music video in LA, playing the part of the head cheerleader/love interest. I wore my Mom’s vintage cheer skirt and sweater and they loved it! I was almost sure I would be getting a call back just based on how much they loved the uniform. I had to walk toward the camera, do a little acting and take pictures with the lead singer. I had a great time and headed off the garment district afterwards!
In the garment district, I shopped for fabrics for my new princess company, in San Diego. I have decided to make all of my gowns Disneyland-quality, couture costumes. They will be spectacular and I can’t wait for everyone to see them! I have shopped in San Diego, LA and San Francisco, making sure I find just the right fabrics and accessories. This entertainment company will set a standard in Southern California and I can’t wait to reveal all the details soon!

Microsoft KIN Promo

KIN Promo: 6/13/2010

Microsoft has a new phone called the KIN, and I got to represent the product in San Diego, giving away 60 phones over 3 days at the San Diego County Fair. It was a great chance to brush up on my speaking and marketing skills and I even brought my sister along to be part of the Microsoft team. There are lots of fun pictures, check them out!

Opportunity of a Lifetime!

FEMALE POP GROUP AUDITION FOR LARRY RUDOLF 4/30/2010

Amanda Shorez, Krystal Forscutt & I


This experience was one of the most nerve-wrecking, amazing, motivating, experiences I have had yet! 2,000 girls submitted pictures and vocal samples online to Reigndeer Entertainment, hoping to get an audition for Larry Rudolf’s (Britney Spears’ manager) new pop group. He chose 100 girls to come to LA for the audition. It was at a dance studio in Beverly Hills and all of the girls were dressed to impress, like pop stars/lady gaga/Beyonce. They went all out, and some were wearing a 1 piece swimsuit.
He explained to us that he is looking for a very specific look and sound for a group of 3 girls. As I heard some of the girls warming up down the hall, they sounded like Mariah Carey and I started getting a little nervous. I soon learned that many of the girls had flown in from all over the world; Australia, New York, South Africa, etc. Many were even celebrities or pop stars back at home and were hoping to break into the US market. (ie: Krystal Forscutt, Kanye West’s dream girl)
He eliminated 50 girls in 2 cuts, purely based on look. He let me and the remaining half of the girls audition with our prepared song and dance. I went in there and gave it my all, working the acoustics in that little dance studio. My voice surprised me and I felt like I did the best I could with the 1-week rehearsal time I had. I was one of the last girls to audition and get cut, and when I left there were 15 girls still there and he kept 7 from the final round. From what I hear, he didn’t create a group that day, but kept the video of all of our auditions. It was amazing to be so close to a dream that I never imagined could possibly be a reality. It has given me so much confidence and motivation that I have the look he wanted and that he could see me in the Pop world. I will definitely always remember this!

E6 fitting video

I recently shot and ad and video for Countryman Assoc. located in Menlo Park, CA. They make earpieces for news anchors, musicians, sports anchors, etc. I modeled their newest ear sets, and did an instructional video on how to use the product. The pictures are used as large backdrops for trade shows and can be seen on their website. The video is a demonstration for clients.

Angels Shoot with SHINE Photographer

Halloween Shoot- October 2009
My sister and I teamed up for a creative couture shoot with Shine Photography. Hair and makeup was insane! I tried to put in the sci-fi contacts they provided, but my eyeballs weren't having it, so we had to go without. However, my sisters contacts looked awesomely creepy. Check out the results...




RIDES Magazine Shoot

RIDES Magazine made me one of 3 girls to be featured as one of the first women in their Magazine. The publication's focus is never on girls, but always on cars. So, I feel flattered that they wanted to use my pics on their site and in the Magazine. Here are a couple shots from Rides photographer, Andrew Link.


TOP 1 Oil 2010 Calendar- Miss November

November 2009

I was invited to shoot an international calendar for TOP1 OIL. They made me Miss November and the best part was, this calendar was very conservative and no bikinis were required! Check it out...



NBC's TRAUMA- Brit's Primetime Debut!

I played a featured extra role on NBC Trauma’s Halloween episode. It was filmed in San Francisco, partially in the Castro area and also at the Marina. I played a drunken cat at a Halloween party, which was a little out of my element, but still lots of fun. There were 50 extras there, and hand-picked me to be the featured role, the only one there who hadn’t been cast beforehand. So, I guess it was a little bit of a bump up, which was great. The main actors referred to me in the scene and it ended up being very fast on camera, but great for my reel.

Del Sol Clothing & Carriloha Clothing Campaign

October 2009

Shooting this print campaign with an amazing photographer and friend, Justin Grant was so fun and rewarding. The location was Paradise Island, Bahamas! We got to spend time on the beach, and at the Atlantis resort, having fun and shooting great pictures for Del Sol and Carriloha. Ryan and I stayed for a few days after to enjoy the Bahamas. What an amazing booking. I feel so blessed!
