What, Me Need A Makeover???

So I live in L.A. and I have a kid, which means I'd be a fool if I didn't subscribe to Jen's List.  The thing was started by a regular Valley Mom (or as regular as you can be with FIVE KIDS… oy…), and it's a daily compilation of absolutely everything a mom might want to know: events, sales, camps… everything.  It also lists a few casting notices.  Now, I'm no actor, and I have proof of this.  An episode of California Dreams.  Check it out – I appear about 3:13 in for all of a nanosecond, saying "Whoa, that guitar player is hot."

So that said, casting notices don't usually have a lot of pull for me.  Still, my sort-of stepmom (who's all of a year older than me… long story) and sort-of stepsibs love acting, so I always read the casting notices so I can forward anything good to them.

Today's notice was for a makeover show.  They wanted women too busy to pay close enough attention to their health and beauty regimen.  Given that I pretty much live in comfy pants, T-shirts, and hoodies, get my hair cut once a year, and often can't be bothered to put in my contact lenses, I thought I might qualify.  Plus it said the host is Holly Robinson-Peete, and I loved 21 Jump Street.  More importantly, she's married to Rodney Peete, who used to play for the best football team in the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagles.

All in all, it was a package too good to resist.  I applied.

Who knows if they'll contact me, but I'll certainly keep you posted.  I did direct them to this site to look at pictures of me, so in case they check it out, I figure I'll give them a "Before," here in my natural writing habitat, Panera Bread:

I know.  It's hard to improve on that kind of polished perfection.  But Holly Robinson Peete's practically an Eagle, which means she's all about getting very close to the ultimate goal and then choking at the worst possible moment making miracles happen!
