I'm back from the wilderness of Phoenicia! Fall is beautiful, much more beautiful in person than in pictures. On the downside, on the first day of the shoot, my tonsils started flaring up and just got worse and worse as the shoot went on. By the time I got back on Monday, I couldn't eat solid foods because it BURNED WITH PAIN. But since I've been back, I've been resting and making myself at-home remedies with lime juice, honey, hot water and turmeric and I'm feeling much better! Yay to the self-healing body!
Anyway, another video from Loop Planes:
(My booty is in the first shot... WOOOOO!!!)
In other news, I've decided to give up on technology. I don't like the idea that we trust one little box to keep all of our stuff and when that screws up, we've lost everything. So I'm going to buy a typewriter and do all my breakdowns on that from on. I also live with the sweetest people in the world. After I lost all my music, my two roommmates Chris and Joel on two separate occasions got me Jim Croce records from the store they work at, Junk (yes I love Jim Croce and I'm not ashamed to admit it.) So sweet! Now I just need to get a record player as well. |

I'm currently writing from my roommate Erin's laptop (thank you Erin!) because mine is being moody with me but that's the only remotely bad thing that's happened recently (PS. I've recently become a crazy positive woman.)
Last night, my roommate Augustin and I went to the Imagine Science Film Festival here in Brooklyn because The Strange Rebirth of Andre Weil was playing at the Galapagos Art Space in Dumbo. It was the first time I saw the film and I loved it! I'm so proud of Joel and so glad I got to see it on the big screen. I was also proud of my half-second cameo in the film. It was so nice to see Joel and Daniel again as well. It was also both Augustin and I's first time in Dumbo, so that was extra added excitement.
All today, I was running around Manhattan and baking and ironing random props for some hidden camera show on ABC that Rachel Ray will be on and we're shooting that tomorrow. Apparently Ms. Ray is only available for two hours in the afternoon though, so yay for us! Short shooting day! And what's more exciting about it is that they're shooting in Jersey, which means.... State number four for Bianca!! (One, two and three were California, New York and exciting Connecticut.)
I also got this random gig painting the wall of a beauty lounge in Park Slope. I'm not even quite sure what a beauty lounge is, but hey. Painting sounds good to me!
Then over the weekend, my roommate Anjia and I will be making another ridiculous costume for a spec commercial. Not allowed to say what it is yet because the director wants to keep it quiet, but hopefully we can pull it off. :/
A few days after that, I'll be taking about a week out of the city (and missing Halloween but oh well) to go Upstate and live in a cabin in the forest in the Catskills for a short that I'm really excited about. Apart from the project sounding really great and creative, I'm excited for a chance to be amongst the trees! It's my first fall ever and everyone said I should go Upstate to see the fall colours... and now I have a reason to! |

I thought that the things I did on Whitest Kids were the most random things I'd ever have to do in my career -- a 3' x 3' cube of marbleised ham, multi-coloured barf, split-away hamsters. But last Thursday I got a call from Anthony (one of the owners of 11th Street), who asked if I could come in and work. When I said that I was free Friday and Saturday, he presented the assignment to me: to make a pinata costume for a WWE wrestler to wear for a photo shoot in the WWE magazine. Oh, and not just any pinata. It was a pinata of the wrestler.
So he was wearing a costume of himself... as a pinata. |

New Yorkers, despite their reputation or what they might prefer you to believe, are some of the nicest people in the world. |
