OK - these are the three pictures I printed out to take for the audition...I think they came out fairly dark, but what do I expect since I left it to the last minute and we leave in 15 ;)

She told me she was nervous today, I asked her what she was most nervous about - she said actually getting the part LOL!
 
she is Anne :) absolutely..

and it's refreshing to see a 10 year old that's not trying to look like she's 22... :) good job mommy...

she's a beautiful young lady - I love her hair and her smile...
 
Thanks Mal - she is such a fun kid - I adore her to pieces :) And she's fun to be around, wickedly funny sense of humor, but then, I'm partial ;)
 
Tell her to break a leg from me! :D Those were good head shots you took too. That's always a plus.

I'm glad that she's doing a play. Go drama! (I'm partial, as my entire family loves to act)

Anywho, just popped in to say hi, and to say that you're always my inspiration!
 
Oh my goodness... Megan is breath-taking. That third pic is my favorite - it looks like something from a magazine. She's so pretty! And definitely looks like a perfect Anne Shirley. I hope she gets the part. At least she had a good attitude. Haha

Great job with the workout. You're doing fantastic, as usual. :) Keep up the great work!
 
She is JUST The most amazing kid I know :D

OK - we're back.
I don't think she got the part, but she was confident, self assured, and HAPPY to be there.

We won't know for sure until later tonight - call backs are tomorrow for cold readings, so we'd have to know by then, but the director came out, (I couldn't be in there with her), said that she did an amazing job for her 1st audition.

The "1st Audition" leads both Megan and I to think they are looking for someone with a bit more experience.

It doesn't matter, she faced her fear of doing it, didn't back out and is VERY proud of herself.

Yes, we went out for ice cream and split a mint choco shake (sue me) ;)
So much for not celebrating with food - but you know...learning moderation (and it was her idea to split it) will serve her well in life ;)
 
Good for her! She should be proud. Auditions can be nerve-wracking. I don't remember much about my first audition because I was only 4. But I'm sure if I had been old enough to understand that I could possibly be rejected, I would have been shit-baked! Haha
And good for both of you for using moderation with your celebratory treats. :)

Congrats on the workout. Those pull ups will be a real marker for you I bet. :)

Felici - this made me laugh! Because it is SO true!
Everytime I try and do them (and fail) I think, "one of these days, dammit, one of these days" ;)

When I can do 3 sets of 10 - I'll KNOW I'm there ;)

SunnyDee - the phrase shit-baked is hilarious! I can't wait to figure a time to use it!

You're right Mal, she did do her best - even with the monolgue - on the way to the audition, she had spurted out another paragraph that I had NO idea she knew - and it was great - I said it would be very cool to add it to the end of what she's been practicing - and she DID (I think I would have flipped to have had to add something at the last minute) but she knew it well. She just needs work on actual skill building - and she's excited and really wants to!

Well, whether she got the part or not, I'm gald that you are instilling confidence and self-esteem in her. IF she doesn't, I hope you can influence her into thinking that it's not a huge deal if she doesn't, that it doesn't reflect on her badly, and there are millions of other opportunites. Too many females are unfortunately very effected by perceived "failure". Some of my best friends are the most beautiful, talented women I know and they are STILL so insecure. It's a damn shame. My mother is and was an alcoholic, I had no present father (well I have my wonderful step dad now) or siblings in my life, BUT my mom still influenced me in a positive way with her attitude: listen to my heart, block out others' negativity, and do what feels right for me. My mom has her bad sides, but her good sides are shining and helped shape the person I am today--a strong ass bitch who knows that the most important perception of myself is my own. From there, any woman can go anywhere--there are no limitations! But of course, you already know that :)
 
are there regional summer theater programs in your area? when i was in high school and even college a bit - that was a fun activity - i never wanted to do the acting thing but i used to do costume design and makeup :) some of the acting talent was really something...
 
Actually, the Laguna Playhouse has acting work shops for kids - and one is starting Tuesday...we'll call a family meeting tonight and talk about doing it.

10 week programs.

CG - Yes, I agree, a strong foundation in self and confidence is huge - without crossing that line to narcissism ;)

It's a fine line. Narcissism implies a lack of consideration for other's feelings--so while it's important to look after oneself, it' equally important to maintain relationships. Hey--humans are social beings (for the most part). Lots of people I know forget themselves in their quest to help others--which is detrimental to the entire game plan. Like I said, it's all about balance.
 
Interesting point CG - I don't think narcissim implies a lack of consideration for other's - although there's little time I would imagine for a narcissist to share with others...

My definition pretty much matches the one I got from google

noun excessive or erotic interest in oneself and one's physical appearance. • Psychology extreme selfishness, with a grandiose view of one's own talents and a craving for admiration, as characterizing a personality type.

So confidence in oneself is HUGE in my book - when it crosses that line to narcissism - I'll have to shoot her ;)
 
Well, think of it this way--if a person is spending excessive time on herself, her appearance, and her own feelings, she is most likely going to ignore other people. I mean, there's only so much time in the day...

Shoot her! Oh no! :eek:

When I was young, I thought there was nothing more disgusting than conceited people, especially since I thought I was average and nothing special. I still consider myself averaage looking, but with age I have grown more tolerant of insufferable people--ha ha, some of my best friends are slightly narcisstic--AND have low self-esteems. Weird, huh?

I wish your daughter and you the best--good luck on your goals!

Right - that's why I said there was probably little time for a narcissist to share with others.

Well, not her, but narcissists in general.

I'm older, and I still feel that way.

There's a difference between being confident and conceited - and it shines through a persona like a beacon!

Quite the reverse here - I find them truly grating.

Thanks from both she and I - best of luck on your goals as well.
 
Thank you!

Yeah, conceit is very weird isn't it? It's like a mask for larger issues of a poor self-esteem. There has got to be a way to be totally self-confident and assured and humble at the same time. That is the person I want to be and I'm trying my best. But it is a delicate balancing act.
