Who knew photos could be so stressful?!

Woo! We are getting down to business!! The last few days have been super successful - and somewhat stressful/riddled with pointless anxiety/sleepless - BUT now that the stress is over we're feeling pretty accomplished!
On Wednesday we did a photoshoot with our photographer-friend Yosh (pronounced Josh, I don't know) and it was really so fun! We got some very artsy pics and it was also great to get in some practice for Friday's reshoot of our headshots - we'll get to that later. 

We had the most bang-for-your-buck delicious Chinese sesame chicken for dinner and headed home. We also got our first ever comment and follower on the blog!! YAY! So sweet, Victoria follows us and has her own blog and aspirations to move out to the city of angels - check it out at victoriazway.blogspot.com! 

Thursday was a HUGE day of semi-boring entirely necessary errands. We went apartment hunting, edited our resumes, wrote out our agent letter, and went through the pics from Yosh and found the ones we liked to send to Chambers for his opinion! 


Feeling all sorted, we sat back, Lucy cooked up a storm as per ushe aaand Chambers replied about the pics!
"Make up sucks. Facial expression sucks. Wardrobe and bras suck."
OH S#!@
Noooooo!! Total smack down..
Ugh the night before our reshoot?! We were pretty devastated. We were reshooting the head shots because the first ones weren't up to par and now we'd been told our practice run was a fizzah, yikes!! The only thing that could lift our spirits was this article on buzzfeed: http://www.buzzfeed.com/michaelrusch/haribo-gummy-bear-reviews-on-amazon-are-the-most-insane-thin
HA so hilarious!! We were in stitches laughing! We scrambled to fix some things for the next day and went to bed for an incredibly restless night's sleep... 

Ahh okay, finally it came time for our head shots! Eeeek! We were crossing our fingers and holding our breathe all morning, but when we got there Anthony, the photographer, totally put us at ease. We shot outside, on the roof and in a street nearby, and it went GREAT! YAY!!! Phewww! We actually ended up having a really fun time! We were thrilled with the pics and preeeetty sure Chambers would like them too! These were the two winners! (Still not retouched)

We ran a couple more errands, and just as we were making a left turn towards the apartment, a police car pulled in front of us and turned its flashing lights on! We didn't think we'd done anything wrong, so we kept driving behind him... then he pulled to the side of the road and, because there was no one else around we guessed that we must've done something wrong so we pulled over too! So terrifying! The police officer got out of his car and we didn't know whether to roll down the window or get out! AH! But then he crossed the street and walked towards an apartment complex hahahaha phew! We felt very stupid but also very relieved! 
So we went home, relaxed, and started watching the first series of Girls - we're completely hooked! 
Today we went to boot camp and got back in the swing of acting for the first time in a few weeks! We met some lovely new people, laughed a lot, AND finally got the okay on our photos/letters/resumes to send out! Wahooo! Now all we need to do is get the pics retouched and we're good to go! 
We went to the Samuel French bookstore after boot camp, then came home and now we're watching (and enjoying) an absolutely dreadful movie. It's been a great couple days and we couldn't be happier or more relieved to've made it through!
