"For the first time in foreeeeverr" - well, in a month!

We finally made it back to DISNEYLAND!!! Ahh it was such a lovely day - the thought of Disney was about the only thing keeping us going the last few days and it exceeded our therapeutic expectations. We did the most random assortment of things but it was perfect! First off we met Thor!

He was pretty aThorable (hehe) and we're pretty sure he was actually an Aussie! We did Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, Tarzan's treehouse, and then headed towards Downtown Disney to use the rest of our birthday voucher for the Rainforest Cafe! 

On the way we bumped into the Fairy Godmother!! She just popped out of nowhere - we're hoping maybe she'll grant us a wish or two!

We had an Awesome Appetizer plate to share and - feeling slightly guilty after eating so healthily all week, but also extremely satisfied - we headed into California Adventure! We did Tower of Terror and MuppetVision 3D then spent about 20 minutes hanging out in Art of Animation watching the lovely clips from all the movies. We'd thought about staying for one of the nighttime shows but we were wiped aaand it also turns out that on Tuesdays and Wednesdays off-peak in Disneyland most of the live shows/performances stop! Good to know because we are SO lucky to have a few beautiful visitors coming our way over the next couple months and a Disney trip is most definitely going to happen!
Luce grabbed a gingerbread Mickey and we headed home for spaghetti bolognese for dinner and another restful night before we get back down to business tomorrow!

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!
