The 1940′s & The 2000′s

Today I wanted to try out a slew of brand new makeup I acquired earlier this week. Breakdown is such:

Foundation & Concealer: Bare Esceuntuals [In Fair]
Under Eye Concealer & Brow makeup: Lilibeth [In Dark Brown]
Lipstick & Liner: Urban Decay [In Revolution]
Eyeliner: Sephora
Mascara: Fresh [In Firebird]

Auditions

So there are a few auditions that have caught my attention in the past few days. In particular, I am interested in New Moon, Footloose and Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. However, I have no resume or headshots. Pretty prepared, huh? So in the next few weeks I will be getting those things together. I have no expectations about these films but I figure that trying is not a terrible option either. Auditioning as a face character for Disney is still one goal I hope to accomplish next year. The Disney Store on 5th Avenue has face characters so there is a possibility, if I even get selected, that I would not have to stay in Florida and I can work here in the city while attending school.

•Acting 411
The website with all sorts of brand new auditions information. I stumbled upon it by accident but it was certainly a good accident!

•Disney Auditions
Disney official website for casting in the theme parks & cruise line. They recently added videos featuring current Cast Members experiences with working within the company.

That’s all for now! This month is going to be very busy between work, finals and getting other things together. I look forward to winter vacation though!

An Introduction

Because every blog needs an obligatory introduction entry, here’s mine!

This is a public blog where I record daily musings, books recommendations, reviews, photos, costume progress, plans for world domination, etc. A place to unleash my inner nerd, so to say.

My name is Laura, a nineteen year old Puerto Rican living in New York City. I am currently a student at Queensborough Community College, hoping to transfer to a four year school in order to pursue a major in the creative arts.

I'm a pretty big dreamer, if you couldn't tell.

My passions include sewing/designing costumes, writing, reading, traveling and playing video games. I love Disney, Japanese Pop Culture, learning new languages and meeting new people. When I am not at school, I am working at Jamba Juice as a Training Mentor.

I would be lying if I said this was the first time I was keeping a blog. My collection of online journals is vast, though many of them have been deleted. They were all kept via Livejournal, which I still use. I use Livejournal as a way to keep in contact with the many friends I have all over the country (and more recently, out of the country too!).

For the majority of my life I have been surrounded by the arts. I take advantage of Broadway/Off-Broadway shows and I thoroughly enjoy seeing performances at the Metropolitan Opera House. I am a huge fan of the American Ballet Theatre (ABT) who performs regularly at the Met (though my own ballet skills are pretty laughable!). I hope to be successful in a career that involves Theatre in some shape, way or form. Right now I want to believe my calling is Costume Design but I am trying my hand at acting too. I want to explore Playwriting/Screenwriting out of curiosity as well.

I’ll sum this up with a quote from Walt Disney:

“All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”
