Ok, I will admit that I have not been the best at staying up to date with my blogging efforts. BUT I am fully aware and making an attempt to change that.
Stay tuned. I will be blogging like a mad man in the next few days...lots of things to share ;)

more auditions :)
So, it was in fact lucky number 13! it took 13 auditions to get past the first cut...FINALLY! I was number 18 that day.
Two days later on the 14th audition I BOOKED!!! Booked a job that is, got hired :) Rehearsals haven't started yet and I haven't sign any contract so I still can't call it a victory but it is definitely a triumph of sorts. Things seem to be progressing in the right direction.. what's that saying?? ..."slow and steady wins the race"..if that's true then I'am going to be winning by a LAAAANNNDDDSLIIIDDE!
I have another audition this morning, which is amazing because I have auditioned here in LA more times in the two months I've been here than I have in NYC in the past two years!
I feel like a Dancer again here, I have found the hunger and that passion again..The hunger that had become lost to me in NYC, the passion that had dissipated with time. The Dancers here push me to be better, the auditions often make me fight for my life. I had never had such intense auditions with such fierce competition...I LOVE IT! and I love how it is enabling me to evolve as an Artist.
Thank you Dancers. Thank you LA. Thank you Universe for opening my paths and leading me here.

life without home internet :(
So, at the worst of moments (usually when things like this happen) the internet connection in the apartment I am temporarily staying at has been lost, cut off, blocked, become non-existent! OY VEY IZ MIR!
luckily I'm only steps away from several cafe's with wi-fi service for its guests..
now, I love coffee probably more than most people, but I'm starting to go a little coffee crazy!
More home internet please, less delicious coffee por favor!

Charity Efforts update
So, its been about a week or so since I began my fundraising efforts for this years Broadway Bares "Stip-A-Thon and though there has been progress in the right direction, it is very slowly moving. I'am at $135.00 so far. My ambitious goal of $5,000.00 is far from being reached, but I will keep trying as quitting for me is not something that computes in my stream of conciousness :)

auditions..
This week marks my 2 month anniversary of living in LA. So far, I've been on about 12 auditions, but no luck yet. Though it has been dissapointing that I havent booked my first job here, I am beginning to feel more at home. No longer being stared at by my peers with a questioning look in thier eyes; "who are you? ...are you good enough to be here?..are you my competition?"
I have an appointment for another audition this morning. Maybe this will be the one, the icebreaker, the first job booked!...but maybe not. Either way nothing changes. I will go and forfeit my real name for a number, last time I was "#74," wonder what number I'll be today. I'll warm up my body, make last minute adjustments to my "audition outfit," fix my hair and lastly drop all insecurity and doubt and begin learning the combination...but as usual I will see in my periphery those questioning eyes..."who are you? are you good enough to be here? Are you my competetion?" and I guess I can answer them pretty blunty.."I am nobody but this numbered sticker right now trying to stay attached to my sweated shirt. I am indeed good enough to be here. More than good enough. I am not YOUR competetion. I am everyone's, including my own."
