My shot at stardom...

[GoinBackToCali]

I am sittin here watching Quentin Tarantino's "From Dusk Till Dawn" and I am reminded of a recent story.

So some of you who have gotten to know me, looked through my albums and read my bios, you know I do makeup and costumes, and also have been an extra on movies shot in Texas.
I have no illusions of being the "next big thing", im 6ft3, and due to my own negligence, I have the body shape any Botticelli beauty would be proud of.

But I can always dream, can't I?

So I was an extra in Grindhouse, specifically the *Planet Terror* portion. It was shot in Austin, Texas. Basically, I am on the screen for .005 seconds as a Zombie. Literally, .005 seconds. After it was all said and done, Quentin Tarantino went around and met some of the extras, shook hands, hob-knobbed with us, and was generally a nice guy. It was my time to stand out, to really make an impression. To make a memorable statement so he may remember me later, maybe get a big break.

So in my inner monologue I am screaming... *DON'T SAY NOTHIN' STUPID ZIN, DON'T SAY NOTHIN' STUPID,DON'T SAY NOTHIN' STUPID,DON'T SAY NOTHIN' STUPID.*

So what momentous intelligent statement did I make?

I looked at him like he had the bubonic plague, shook his hand and said... " My Gawd, your head is reaaaally weirdly huge"

And stared blankly with my mouth hanging open...

Way to make an impression!!

Everytime I think about the whole incident.. my butt crinkles and I just want to go hide..

Well, he does have a big head. It stands out. In fact, a dude I used to work with had similar features, and I told him he resembled Quentin Tarantino, and I don't think he took that as a compliment, lol.

 

[maherwoman]

ROFLOL!! Well, I'm sure you made a big impression on him! LOL!!!

Yeah, I would probably say something about as bad...hehe!

I met Patrick Stewart/Captain Picard one time at a Star Trek Convention. I was so awestruck I stood there one hand waving, mouth open in an exaggerated grin like a retarded orangutan, other hand shaking his, and I wouldn't let go...one of his *people* had to *disengage* my hand from his.

I think I creeped him out.

I am such a moron sometimes..LOL

 

[BEAUKEZRA]

I forgot to mention, as ya'll know,I am 6ft3, so there I was, dressed in full Klingon woman garb.. one of the Duras Sisters..which also includes platform boots, which made me like 6ft9, so essentially I looked like this..

The one on the left...

So Patrick Stewart is all of I would say around 5ft9, 5ft10.. so put me lookin like that.. with the whole retarded orangutan not lettin go image in your mind...

[slavetoabunny]

Some guys like tall gals. Myself...I'm only 5' tall. Can you imagine how hilarious we'd look standing next to each other? Lol.................

 

[GoinBackToCali]

Hahahaha..

I run around with 2 other 4H moms, one is every bit as tall as I am, but her stuff aint stacked like mine... im..well... feminine, she's very, um.. er.. she's good peasent stock... SHE'S A STURDY GAL!!!! The other mom is 4ft10.

Apparently the Daddy's have a nickname for us.. the trio..

I can tell you what it would look like, me and my boyfriend. I'm 5' and he's 6'4", I come up to his chest and fit nicely under his arm pits... Odd couple, but our plan is to "normalize" the gene pool, and average out our heights.
