Girls' Week! xx

Another fun work week with a particularly AMAZING day on set, a couple fab awards shows, and some extra yummy meals out!

On Friday Han had a fun and easy day on Scandal - she even managed to glimpse Kerry Washington! - and Luce had a chill day at home.

We spent pretty much our whole weekend with Sully! We went out to lunch at EAT on Saturday and it was delish, then on Sunday we spent the whole day by the pool and Sully treated us to the best sandwiches EVER for lunch!! Brie cheese, fig and apple jam, bacon, and chicken. Amazing. Han ran out in the afternoon to meet a family she's going to be babysitting for (they were absolutely lovely! Buuut she's gonna have to lock those cats in a bedroom..) then when she got back we ordered Thai food and watched the VMAs! Great show - TSwift is adorable but has way too many limbs to dance with much coordination, Lorde was fantastically non-Hollywood and awkward, Miley actually earned some respect from us by backing the cause of homeless youth in LA, and Queen Bey stole the show with her finale performance!

Neither of us got booked for Monday, so we had a late sleep in, ran some errands, then Han went out on a lovely date! When she got back we went back over to Sully's - still not sick of each other! - to meet her Dad who's in town and watch the Emmys! We thought Seth Meyers actually did a really great job and everyone looked stunning! We were a bit disappointed that GoT, House of Cards, and Orange is the New Black didn't win much of anything - it was still very much the Modern Family and Breaking Bad show, like, c'mon, we get that those shows are great buuut Peter Dinklage and Robin Wright? SO amazing. We were SUPER happy that Sherlock did so well!! 7 Emmys overall and well deserved, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are incredible! Well done on those ones Emmy voters, you can stay. By the time the show was over it was pretty late and we both had really early call times the next morning, so we raced home and straight to bed.

On Tuesday we both had 6:30am call times! Han was on a new show called A to Z and Luce was on Criminal Minds. It was NOT Han's morning - the address was wrong then she couldn't find the right gate at Warner Brothers then security was a nightmare but she was only 4 minutes late when - nooo!! Got a call from Central Casting and toootally sin-binned for being late, oops! Then to top it off the AD was absolutely horrible and another extra said loudly "it's always the blondes that are late" ugh. On the plus side we both had super short days! Luce got wrapped at 9:30! What?! She was home and back in bed for a nap by 10:00! Unreal. Han was wrapped around 1:00, so no complaints there! AND, to make the afternoon even better, we both got booked on New Girl for the next day!! WOOO! SO EXCITING! We hung out all arvo, went to Trader Joe's, and finished watching the last season of Gossip Girl! SUCH a satisfying ending! YAY!

We woke up at 4:30 to leave for set by 5:30! Woah!! It wasn't too bad though cos we were BEYOND excited to be working on New Girl together! We made it to Fox studios no worries and made it to Stage 29 without a hitch! As we walked into the background holding area we walked past the facade set for the outside of the apartment building! So cool! We checked in and went to wardrobe and while we were there WINSTON AND NICK (Lamorne Morris and Jake Johnson) DROVE UP IN THEIR POSH CARS RIGHT WHERE WE WERE STANDING. So cool. It only got cooler though because we realized that our holding area was RIGHT NEXT TO the loft set! We couldn't resist taking a couple sneaky pics of everything!

Soon after, they called us onto set and..... It was the regular bar set that they use almost every episode!!! GAAHH!! So cool. Our excitement was pretty obvious and the AD who was placing people totally looked after us! He put Han right behind the actors so she almost definitely got some screen time and Luce was sitting RIGHT at the bar with the actors!! We were beside ourselves. Schmidt (Max Greenfield) Coach (Damon Wayans Jr.) and Jess (Zooey Deschanel) were all there too and the scene was HILARIOUS! We can't say much about it but we can't wait to see what makes the final cut! It was honestly the coolest thing to watch them work, to see how much improv is involved, and see how genuinely nice the actors were! Only made us love the show even more!

We spent the day with two of our favourite background gals and at lunch the four of us did some exploring around Fox! Luce was stoked to find the bench from modern family:

We weren't on set too much longer after lunch and we were wrapped! Such a wonderful day, we totally lucked out and we were SO glad we got to work on it together!

Yesterday was another lovely day! Sully invited us to go to a fashion show with her and that sounded like far too glamorous of an offer to pass up! We spent the day at the Glendale Galleria, shopping for some accessories for Han to complete her outfit and Luce got a couple things too - we showed amazing restraint though. Also, it's been SO long since we just went to a mall to shop! So strange! We went to Olive Garden for lunch and finally used our gift card from a year ago! Calamari and pastaaaaa so goood! Then we headed home to get ready for the event!

UH OH! Spanner in the works! We got a text from Sully saying that we have to be 21 to get in..! Nooo! She came over anyway to figure something out and get ready. It turned out the girl who invited Sullivan had a fake ID and thought we did too, so the fashion show was a no go... But we'd already started curling our hair, so we weren't giving up on having a glamorous night out! We definitely wanted to go for a bar/lounge type scene rather than a club, and we'd heard about an Aussie one called Vaucluse in Hollywood. We called up to see if we could get in and got a magical "yes" WOO! We were all dressed up with somewhere to go! 

We got to the bar and it was so cool! Totally our scene. Lots of Aussies, great music, yummy food - and we ran into our GoT friend Eddie! So crazy/cool/serendipitous! So we hung out with him, made some new Aussie friends, chatted with the owners, ate sausage rolls and pizza, and got our palms read by a very drunk gypsy! 

The night couldn't have gone better and we will most definitely be going back to Vaucluse!

This morning we all woke up fairly early and Sully invited us out to brekkie with her Mum and Dad, so sweet! On the way there she got a text from her friend who'd invited us to the fashion show saying that security was super tight last night and the girls with fakes didn't get in! Ahh!! We were SO relieved we went with Vaucluse instead, feeling veeerry lucky! For brekkie we went to Aroma Cafe and the two of us split eggs Benedict and possibly some of the best French toast ever - it was made with a croissant for bread - with strawberries, bananas, and maple syrup. Scrumptious! (Running out of "yummy" adjectives so there's a creative one for ya). 

Then we went home and got all our stuff together for a couple days at Mum and Q's! We're on our way out now, should be there in 20 minutes for a fun, relaxing Labor Day weekend!
