My weekend

So I had an audition, 2 photo shoots and a very odd experience this weekend.

The audition was for a feature film called Sabina. I don't know what it's about really but there are 3 female leads, friends who I believe starts pulling these heists. So Saturday I read for all 3 parts. It went fine, but I didn't get a strong feeling if I'll get it or not.

Then I had a photo shoot with Patrick Alt. He shoots with these amazing antique cameras from the 1800s. The cameras itself are art! It was a pretty long shoot as shoots go as, unlike digital, the process is very labor intensive but the images are so beautiful. And his studio has all these headpieces and fabric and jewelry that I got to play with. It was amazing!

Sunday I shot some headshots and some fashion/editorial stuff with Bruce Martin. As delightful and generous as Patrick, but totally different style. I'm sure we shot some beautiful images.

But here's the weird story.

After my shoot with Bruce, which was at a studio on Melrose Avenue, I decided to do a little shopping. I was right in the shopping area on Melrose in West Hollywood so there are a ton of fun, funky little stores.

Anyway, I walk into this one little store and there are a few other women shopping. So as I'm walking around the store, this little old man comes up to me. I believe he was the owner of the store. He's very friendly...very grandfatherly.

He says, "I'll give you a discount for anything you want."

I thought that was very nice so I say thank you and he gives me a hug. A little forward but he's a sweet little guy.

After the hug he's standing on my left side and I turn my head to the right to look at some clothes. As I turn my head back to the left, his face is right next to mine and he's moving toward my lips with his tongue out trying to kiss me!

Shocked, I push him back and stutter, "No...no...with the...tongue...and...NO!"

He looks at me as if to say, "What? What's wrong", like he doesn't get it.

So again all I can get out of my mouth is, "No...no no no...kissing...no..."

And then he starts to show me clothes again as if NOTHING HAPPENED! So I sort of smile and make my way out of the store. I walked down the street in total shock but then I start laughing because it was so absurd. It was the weirdest thing.

Now I can't help but laugh everytime I think of it but also makes me look at old guys a little...different.
