My best friend and collaborator, Jake Levy, recently said when we were making a video together āHelp me Im Modā that mod makeup doesnāt suit a stressed out face.Ā During the making of the video I, an actress, would pensively go over my movements between takes. Jake noticed that my actress behavior visually looked uniquely bizzare while I was made up like a Mod Girl. False eyelashes,that twiggy shit, liquid eyeliner on the lid crease etc.In recent weeks since shooting that video I have wondered if this type of makeup would be a challenge to a bad mood.Ā What if wearing mod makeup like Twiggy was an optimistic and faithful balm to remind us of kindness? Asking us to put on a happy face?Ā Well knowing if your face suddenly turned sour you would look like an absolute fool? Could this be a cornerstone of the next wave of faith?

šŖMaking money in this modern world is blessed and cursed. Between acting jobs I also am an astrologer. I believe every actress should somehow give back spiritually between jobsā¦ whatever that means to them. In fact, there has been a history of actors and actresses doing astrology in their spare time Shelley Winters, Shirley McClaine (duh) and Andrew Garfield to name a few. (more on that another timeā¦ watch this space)Ā As it is my day job to brush up on current transits, my go to podcast is Anne Ortlees Weekly Weather.Ā Anne Ortlee is a legendaryĀ New York Astrologer. Despite her icon status, she's unjaded, and sweet. She often pontificates on her ongoing battle to limit her pasta intake. Between what I would call āzaninessā, her translation of Astrology is spot on. You slip into her orbit and suddenly fantasize taking her to a pasta dinner uptown.Once you start you canāt stop. And if you know you know.Ā I usually listen every Sunday night while washing my hair and applying face oil in silence.

š®Pret a manger is a monumental touchstone of my acting career.Ā This is a place I frequented between in person auditions midtown.Ā Through the pandemic Pret a MangerĀ became a bygone memory.Ā I believed I would never have a reason EVER EVER AGAIN to enter one, as the majority of auditions are no longer in person.Ā However Iāve recently been going to one in person audition a week for this commercial casting company. And suddenly, by Godās intervention, I have returned to Pret. I have returned to the comforting working actress diet of half a sandwich and a seltzer.Ā I rejoice in my homecoming back to Pret. Itās a testament to Miracle.

šAs one ages, (or like as the procreative urge intensifies,) the need for multiple purses becomes increasingly important. I donāt know exactly why, but it does.Ā I once thought, like many things when I was younger, that I wasnāt a purse girl and I never would be. I thought you were a shoe girl or a purse girl. I didnāt realize you donāt have a choice, as you age, a line doesnāt get drawnā¦ there's only one modelā¦ a woman who likes and needs both shoes AND purses. This seems callous but it's absolutely connected.One needs an expensive, well made purse that sits on a shelf in a cloth bagĀ AND a shit crap fun inexpensive purse you can put down on the sidewalk, on a bar stool and wipe down with a clorox wipe.Ā The urge for nice and bad, existing simultaneously, is a feminine urge that has to be indulgedā¦ I donāt know the consequences of repressing this instinct but I assume its really horrible.Ā We must have wrappers, Pret a Manger napkins, absolute, actual garbage in bowling ball bag-ass looking purse. EVEN BETTER than a shitty purse is an exquisite purse from the past in a coveted model-like a car.Ā TRULY I NEVER KNEW IāD BE LIKE THIS.Ā We must have expensive shampoo and cheap soap.A pricey candle and a pack of hanes underwearĀ An heirloom lamp and something hastily bought from Wayfair.Ā Its just the way it is. You must balance the high and low.Ā This balance is essential to glamor and glamor is one of the only things left we can aspire to. True glamor is the victory over poverty and the foibles of wealthIn conclusion: that's why it's important to have expensive and cheap bags to chronically rotate in your closet.
