If you know me at all, you know I am embarassingly in love with the Twilight series. I will marry Robert Pattison at the drop of a hat. My expectations in men have become completely unrealistic thanks to Edward Cullen. And, if you keep track of pop culture at all, or even watch TV, you should know the movie comes out on November 20th. And, if you happen to have insider information, you'd know that the premiere for New Moon is on November 16th at so and so theater and press gets in at 3, red carpet starts at 5, and the movie starts at 7.
So... my first step was to try to contact Twilight's PR person to get press credentials. She was really nice and apologetic, but she said that it's full and over capacity. Damn! I should have contacted her earlier, I just didn't know her info yet. By then, it was too late. Imagine that. So I e-mailed her and told her to let me know if an opening came up. And she said she definitely would.
Ew. Basically, it was a monumental fail! I am NOT giving up though. I mean, come on, Twilight?! Move out the way people!
My next plan of attack is to go to the premiere, and try to talk to the person letting press in. I'm going to say something along the lines of "Hi, I'm Mona Lisa from LCO, I actually spoke with ______ about doing a review, and she said that she would let me in if any room opened up. It's just me, and I would love to do the review for the company newsletter that reaches many influencers, including 100 Academy Award Winners and 6 U.S. Senators. Would it be possible for me to secure a seat at this point if someone hasn't shown up?" They have to let me in! It's for the good of the people!!
Oh, please, please, please let that work. And please, let me have enough courage to SAY THAT and own it. Hi, Wizard of Oz, can I order some courage? If that doesn't work, I better get a peek at the red carpet arrivals. Even if it's just Dakota Fanning. Hey, at least I would have tried! And if I do get in, I might just faint.
Last week, I didn't mention to you guys that I went to my first photo shoot. No, not my photo shoot, I'm not famous (yet)! Haha, but anyway, it was pretty freakin hot and I was holding this umbrella over a camcorder for hella days and I thought I was going to melt in my all black clothes. It was pretty fun seeing everything happen and be a part of it all. It was weird because as the talent was doing the shoot, she was also talking and being interviewed. She'd pause and have this huge smile out of NOWHERE and it looked so incredibly creepy and fake, you don't even know.
I decided that while I'm in LA and in the entertainment business, I might as well take a shot at acting. I'm going to take an acting class with Lauren. Fun! Maybe I can make some side money.
The week is coming to an end.... and my evaluation meeting is coming up. AHHH! Wish me luck!
If I don't get the position, my next goal is to work for the Twilight PR firm. Hell, yes.
