So… remember last fall when I told you a director contacted me to be in a commercial? After filming the commercial, he recommended that I sign up with a talent agency since he’d like to work with me in the future, and it’s much easier if I’m with an agency. So I followed his advice and signed up with a talent agency. Whew, there, I said it!
(I’ve done some photo shoots for photographers here and there and some stock photos before this, but I never considered it “modeling” really.)
I’ve only told my immediate family and two of my closest friends(until now), and I don’t know why but I get really really embarrassed and awkward telling people about it! But it’s a small part of me now and since this is a blog that documents my life, here it is. So don’t ask me about it in real life, I’ll get super red and super awkward okay?
Here are some stuff I got to work on.
I worked for Jo Totes, a camera bag company.

And I was in a fitness commercial for UltraFlex. This was back in October 2011. So yes, it’s taken me this long to not be as embarrassed to share it.
(I’m in the very beginning and then 3:13 and on)
Do you like my adorable Hispanic son? 😉 I wish he was really mine, I fell in love with him!
And a really embarrassing story while filming this commercial… so while I was saying my lines that I had memorized, one of the directors asked me to try saying my own testimonial without a script, so while I’m grasping the Ultraflex in the mid-air, I said, “One thing I love about ultraflex is that it’s so long and skinny that once you’re done using it, you just put it in the corner of the wall and no one will even see it!” Now, this was an all-men crew, and I was the only girl(the other ladies filmed the next day), and they all bust out laughing and couldn’t seem to control it! I kept saying to them, “What? Why are you guys laughing? What’s so funny? Tell me!” But they wouldn’t. And after they got some composure, we resumed back to filming. It wasn’t until we were done filming and I was driving back home by myself that I finally got it! I was so embarrassed and kept saying to myself, “Oh my gosh! Darn it!!! Why did I say that, oh my gosh, how embarrassing!!!”
So there you have it. Fortunately(and obviously), they didn’t use that clip in the video. That could be used for another kind of commercial if you know what I mean. Eh hem.
Anyway, I’ve done a couple more stuff that I’ll share with you later when I get the photos.
Okay, that’s it, bye.
