Like Jamie Lee Curtis but Hotter

One of my secret acting fantasies is to be a scream queen. I think it would be absolutely awesome to get all gored up and run around. I think it's very telling that the first real budgeted video I shot here was a demo on Myths where I was supposed to be saved from the lair of a Minotaur. When they told me that I was going to have blood and scratches I was so exited. I didn't even mind the sack dress. It was so much fun to run around and pretend to be afraid. It was like children's games. VH1 was holding a reality show audition here in NY for "Scream Queens" but no I am not going on some reality shloc show for some producer to manipulate my life. I prefer to audition.

I think there is something about dressing up that conjures up childhood memories, Halloween was always my favorite holiday. Too bad the only horror movies that are being made have girls that are way too skinny and not too smart and not taking the part seriously, or maybe they're just bad actresses (shocker!) I am a horror movie nut, I've seen an awful lot I hope another niche comes in for a good horror director and they quit remaking fucking Japanese ones which are only good in JAPANESE!! Eli Roth isn't bad, and so are the guys that do the Saw movies...


Two of my absolute favorite actress are Lucille Ball and Amy Sedaris. Two actresses who love(d) to put on tooth-black and fat suits and just get down and dirty. I love seeing Amy Sedaris in magazine spreads or on T.V in outrageous costumes and makeup. Who can forget Lucy getting slapped in the face with Chocolate or her numerous hobo acts on the show. Every time I read about Amy Sedaris someone always mentions that she thwarts her natural beauty by her acts, as a means to be taken seriously as a comic. I'm not sure if that is entirely true but I say more power to her. I could go on a big ol' feminist tirade about this subject but I won't I'll just say watch an episode of Strangers with Candy or I Love Lucy or even Carole Burnett and you'll see just how funny women can be.
