I've been wanting to post an update about my crazy trip to Mexico with my crazy friend B and I've been wanting to share a little bit of my commercial shoot with you guys. I was going to try and do a two for one shot but I don't think that's gonna happen. So here goes Mexico.
About two weeks ago I went on a whirlwind adventure with Bianca to try and help her find a wedding venue. We didn't find a wedding location BUT we did find a location to relax and eat and eat aaaaand eat. We visited about 37 resorts in 2 days, ok it was like 6, but it felt like 37. The first place we stayed at was scary, we nicknamed it Maravilla, as in projects. It wasn't that bad but we're dramatic so go with it. The second night on the other hand was, AMAZING! Well, it was scary and amazing, scary because in a nutshell, we slept smack in the middle of the jungle AND our living corridors had no windows. That's right I said, "no windows" and I have the pictures to prove it. Basically the only thing that was protecting us from lions, tigers and bears was a mosquito net. Ok, there weren't lions, tigers OR bears but there were wild monkeys and they were scary and wild.
I'm not going to write about the commercial I booked here but I will tell you that while we were in the junlgles of Yulapa I received an email from my agent that I had a callback at 6pm the next day. Ummm what?? Ok, we were going home the next day but one problem our plane landed at 5pm and I had to be in Santa Monica by 6. Long story short, I made it on time to the callback thanks to the expert moves of my international traveler friend B and to the super chippy (CHP) driving manuevers of my husband J. And hence, I booked the commercial. Yay!!
And what blog is complete without pictures :)
This is the view we had during breakfast, it's not a downloaded image. (promise)
This is the pool and the hut you see in the background is the yoga platform that overlooks the ocean!!! Can you say paradise!!
And this my friends, is where we slept, yes, this is where we slept! Each hut is a room and to use the restroom we had to walk out of our room and down a walkway that shook with every step you took. Needless to say there were no middle of the night potty breaks :)
