Between Saloon and chicken soup

Hi everyone,

it was very very exiting to be part of an actual music video shooting. That´s very very different than an tv interview for sure. I´m playing a waitress in a saloon where the brothers Brad and Chazz are about to perform. And I have a short speaking role. And as I´m only used to pose for photos I needed a few minutes to switch into a "less posing" mode in the beginning. But once the first scene was done it wasn´t a problem anymore.

So what´s that like? Well, I assumed that filming a scene takes a little longer than I might think. I did not consider that a scene has to be filmed from different views as well to make it more interesting. That´s why it took several hours to film a sequence that will be like 10 seconds long :-D And that was just the intro before the actual song began... We filmed until about 2 in the morning.

It was a very nice team and I was glad to meet again some of the girls that I already met and liked at the casting and some made photos so I guess there´ll be some behind the scenes photos that I´ll possibly share with you :-) The video is due to release in a month or so, so get ready for the cheesiest country music video you ever saw - and Iam just quoting the producers. ;-)

The downside is that while I was already having a cold it got remarkedly WORSE as I was not a good girl and stayed in bed all day. I just wanted to do this video so really really bad! So now I´m really miserable laying in my bed all day acompanied by chicken soup and a sexy nurse :-D

Here´s a little inofficial making off video that I did. It is scary how well "The Man with the Harmonica" goes with it :D



The music video itself is in post-production now and it´ll take a few weeks till it is done! :-)

Rocking the red hair - cowgirls and hookers

Actually I wanted to keep it secret and surprise you all. However while it is easy for me to keep other peoples secrets I prefer to have none on my own ;-)

As you have readed on my twitter, facebook and myspace I coloured my hair red. For a special purpose. Cause I´m going to do a cheesy western shooting. Cliche galore. I even coloured my hair red so it will get a Technicolour vibe. Cause let´s face it: Ladies in 50s western have to have hairs so red it hurts in your eyes (or so yellow blonde that you wonder whoever would wear that colour)!!! And I can finally use my green corset, that feather headpiece I bought and over the top make up. I plan something femme fatale/hooker/gambling queenish and something sweet cowgirlish allá Gil Elvgren.

I even practised doing a nice up-do for the gambling thing and my hooker-make up really turned out hookerish. In fact so much I was almost shocked it turned out so good at the first try. Maybe it was just that feather-thing with the veil for my head that did the trick but it turned out so extreme I washed it all off before John made it home *lol*. you´ll have to wait a few weeks to see the spagetti western saloon version of me as it´ll take 2 more weeks till we do it. Let´s see if I can do a making of video...

To my surprise I really start to like my red-haired look. The first evening both me and John were shocked by the result. "Your hair is so..... RED." said John. It in deed turned out more extreme than ever as I have a perm in it and some outgrowing bleached streaks. Now we both like it and John compliments me on it everytime I come home. Now you may say that he must cause otherwise I won´t cook, however my workmates all like it, too.
