Well, I am going to admit a few things to you right off the bat, beginning with the fact that I have never done a blog before. I am not from Los Angeles nor have I ever been - I am Canadian, but as it so turns out, I will officially be in LA in 19 days, 7 hours, and 48 minutes...give or take a few. I don't have a solid plan for when I arrive, although I have finally found an apartment in Beverly Hills - about four blocks away from Rodeo Drive. I have few friends out there who won't have much time to see me.
Now at this point it's all sounding sort of lame - minus the fabulous one bedroom apartment in Beverly Hills - but the real reason as to why I am going out there is to pursue my acting career...or just acting (so far there is no career, just my role as Sister Amnesia in my high school's musical - yes, I was a singing nun.) Now I KNOW how unrealistic this career path sounds and I may not be the skinniest of skinny girls out there, but I've got the confidence, the style, and I've been told, a winning smile.
...I just realized I forgot skills...acting skills...yes, hopefully those too...
Now I won't be thanking my orthodontist in my Oscar winning speech for my pearly whites (she hated me anyways) because clearly no one is going to hold me up on a pedestal for smiling pretty. I've got a handful of connections out there that I plan on getting in touch with and I plan on shaking hands with everyone in order to get my name and face out there.
This is my chance to do something, and start a career and be serious about something I love regardless of how difficult it is going to be.
I have 61 days in LA and that's a lot of time to make a good impression on the right people. I just need to be able to trust myself and find something valuable to do with my time there so I can return to the following summer with a more solid game plan.
I am writing this blog pretty much for anyone who is interested. I guess it may become something of a map for people who are wanting to do the same thing as I am. I'm gonna make mistakes and I know others can probably learn from them. It's a big and scary business, and maybe if I write it all down, I can keep track of where I've gone wrong and hopefully, what I am doing right.
Not only will I talk about my acting career...which is currently at ground zero, but I will also talk a lot about fashion. My wardrobe is too big for my closet and my taste is above what my mother and my bank account would enjoy. I've got quite an eye for it and if this acting thing fizzles out, it's what I plan on turning to. But if I'm going to be living in LA I might as well be 'Young, Fabulous and Broke'.
Oh ya, my name is Liv.
Keep your fingers crossed, and hopefully I make it big.
