the latest neat thing has been working on this movie Nailed. i did some extra work & then got to go behind the scenes & help out in the casting office. i've met incredible people, made new friends, new connections, and just had a blast. this weekend i worked 4 16+ hour days in a row. dang it was crazy, but so fun.
here's a crazy story: at dinner one night in the crew tent i sat by paul reubens (pee wee herman) and started chatting about life & the movie, etc. while we ate crab legs. well the director's son who is 14 & doesn't have any kind of filter in his head or on his mouth walked over, sat down, & said "hey paul, i know why your pee wee show got cancelled. it's because you got arrested for going to an X rated film." UMMMMMMM. ha! i had no clue what to do/say. this was probably the most awkward moment of my life. paul just calmly said "actually, i only signed a 5 year contract & after that was up i didn't want to do the show anymore. it didn't have anything to do with that." the kid then said. "oh, well the cops should have left you alone in that theater." to which paul replied "yeah, i think so, too." then the boy walked away & i stared at pee wee in silence before saying, "um, so. can i bless the crab legs?" haaaaaaaaaaa. i felt like i was in a movie myself- watching pee wee get confronted about his sketchy past. it was insane. but i love me some paul reubens, no matter what he's done in his past. he is so nice & cool & he used to be on my favorite childhood show. love him. period.
i also got to go to the wrap party at liberty. SO MUCH FUN. free food & drinks & music & awesomeness. i finally met james marsden, too. all weekend my casting friends & i sang enchanted songs & had a "james sighting call." it was amazing. def. have a small crush on him & by small i mean massive. i introduced myself & he told me my name was pretty. then i said, "i just want you to know that i think you're great." and he replied, "well thanks. and mellie, i think you're great." (SCREAM). i was like- did you just say my name aloud? i'm a retarded school girl around that man- even with his molestache still rocking out for his role in the movie. ha. then brett said he checked me out & i had to go outside for some air. haaaaaaaa.
later in the night my friend jonathan was making me dance with him & there was a small mishap that ironically ended up on camera. ok, let me first say that i grew up taking dance & doing performances & stuff & had to parter work sometimes. it's normal for boob grazes, crotch grabs, etc.- it just happens accidentally. once during a flip lift my head even slammed into this poor dude's crotch & we fell to the ground. haaaa. anyway, jonathan was trying to swing me around & definitely accidentally grabbed the old left goody. and it's on FILM. i'm so embarrassed- even though it wasn't on purpose. i woke up & that junk was on facebook. DE-TAG! yes please. but just for you guys, i'm gonna put it up on here so you can have a good laugh...at my expense. bah.
yep, there it is. in all its glory. moving on, i just wanted to say how awesome God is. i know i just talked about boob grabbing & now i'm talking about God's goodness, but hey. i've prayed for his favor & for opportunity & He has blessed me beyond what i could think, ask, or imagine. i can't wait to see what else He has in store. it's been so neat to meet & share & love all of the people He's put in my path- whether ceelebrities or the kid next door. dream big & pray always. the best is yet to come.
