So remember when I dyed myself blue? On set in Des Moines?

On Friday morning, I had a flashback to that shining moment of sartorial triumph.

This project is obviously one that I'm pretty excited about, and so while I wasn't nervous per se - auditions give me the willies, but once I'm on a set I'm happy as a clam - I definitely wanted everything to go smoothly, especially because we were working on a fairly tight schedule in the morning. So before getting into bed on Thursday night, I made sure that all my location releases were printed out, my cameras were charged and packed, and my carefully-selected outfit was hung on the back of my chair. I even knew what I was planning to eat for breakfast, just like I did on days when I had big tests in high school.

And in the morning, I calmly got ready to go, made sure I had everything I needed, and was all set to walk out the door when I caught sight of myself in the mirror in my pretty new flowery dress and thought: you know what? This could use a quick ironing.
