“The times, they are a changin” ~ Bob Dylan

I now can truly relate to these words, and I have seen some major changes throughout my life. I don’t know what it is about this move from Texas to South Carolina that has me feeling so upside down? If anything, I have a lot more time to myself because all three of my children are in school. I mean they all are picked up and dropped off by a school bus about five houses down from ours so from the hours of 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. I am pretty much on my own, to do as I please.

Heaven – yes, but something is missing. I have wrestled with the question of “what” that is for a while now and I am sure that I’ve finally come up with the answer.

You see, while we were in Texas my eldest daughter was actively pursuing and continually working on her acting. She went to acting classes weekly, she went out on auditions and she actually shot a few things. All the while I was being her momager and relentlessly searching for more castings and auditions, more workshops, more, more and then some more. I found that I loved being a momager and the excitement of finding an audition or getting her into some awesome workshop was so invigorating for me – it kind of became my drug of choice. I know some of you are rolling your eyes and saying, “Oh, she is one of those crazy stage-mom” sorts of things but I never pushed her into auditions or classes or anything she didn’t want to do. Sometimes I would find a casting, ask her if she wanted me to submit her, she would tell me “no thank you” and I would move onto the next thing. It is more of the “thrill of the hunt” than anything else.

Now let’s move ahead six months, we are nicely settled into our new home and new routines but something is missing – my momager job!

My daughter has now entered high school and has decided to concentrate on playing basketball as well as her tough honors course load. Don’t get me wrong, I played college basketball and coached high school basketball and volleyball so I love the idea that she is working hard on the court but my role has changed significantly. I have become her cheerleader (which I always was and always will be) and am relegated to the stands during game time. She asks me the odd basketball related question but her coach is The BBall Guru, as it should be, and I the untitled mother.

So what shall I do with my new found free time? Well I do volunteer weekly at my younger children’s school, I have joined all sorts of committees and I am upping my exercise regime but there is still something missing – any suggestions?? Anyone have a way to fill this momager-at-heart’s free time? How about a suggestion for how I can find the “high” that came with landing my daughter the perfect audition? I am all ears. Maybe I’ll post an ad on Craigslist reading, “Momager for Hire” or something like that? Who knows what my future will hold.

Update: I hadn’t even submitted my post for editing when my youngest daughter came up to me last night and said, “Mom, I really want to try modeling. Do you think I could?”

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, god of “momagers with no child to manage” – wink, wink!!

From the Momager Trenches L.A.: Baby Books Carters Holiday Shoot

Cash in hair and make-up at the Carter's Shoot.

When we auditioned for a Carter’s Holiday print job on Saturday (during Carmageddon weekend no less), I knew the shoot was scheduled for the following Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  So by Tuesday evening, it was safe to say that I’d given up hope of Cash booking it at all and was mentally ‘on to the next.’  As I putzed around Tuesday night, cleaning toys up off the floor and dinner off the walls (yes, you read that right), I thought it was a little strange for my phone to ring at 9:45 pm.  As a leasing agent though, I receive about 10-20 calls/day from unfamiliar numbers.  This call, I assumed, was just another apartment inquiry, albeit an uncharacteristically, and might I add presumptuous, late night call, even in the world of apartment rentals.  Twenty minutes later, I decided to check the voice mail… and there it was. The Call!

My son Cash was being called in at the last minute for the Carter’s Holiday shoot and could we be there at 1:30 p.m. the next day? Of course we could!  I was thrilled!  I quickly ran in to tell my husband and then shot over to the computer to email my boss, telling him.. er.. asking him about taking a half day the next day.  Finally, after 18 months, Cash had booked his first paying gig.

The shoot was conveniently about 15 minutes from our house.  So I ran home after working in the morning, scooped my lil’ dude up, changed his clothes, grabbed his work permit and we were out the door.  Although, he did have just enough time to play with my keys for exactly one minute before falling directly on top of them, leaving a giant red mark on his cheek.  Oh well, hair and makeup worked wonders.  We had to wait to be shuttled up to the private location which actually worked out well because he was able to sneak in a good 45 minute nap between the ride and the waiting.  Sleepy babies = cranky babies = no pictures, please!

Upon arriving, we found out that Cash was the backup model for his clothing size. Bummer. But, I remembered our agent saying that backups are almost always used as primaries.  All was not lost!  An adorable little boy named Gabriel and Cash were dressed in the same Christmas outfit.  Gabriel went into shoot while we waited patiently and settled in to watch Dino Dan.  Approximately 30 seconds later, I heard the sound of a boy protesting quite loudly.  I have no shame in admitting that the first thought in my head was, “Ooh, I hope that’s Gabriel!” Because if Gabriel had no interest in having his picture taken, then that meant we were in.  Sure enough, Gabriel came right off the set and in went Mr. Cash.  Score! (Sorry, Gabriel’s mom, I know you understand!)

My initial instinct was to just step back and let him go with the staff, so I did.  And honestly, I think it was the best thing I could have done.  Because  HE. DID. AWESOME!  I am fairly certain that if I had been in view, he would have thrown his little tantrums, cried for mama and tried to run towards me – all very typical actions of any 18 month old boy.  But because he was surrounded by a new group of people who were completely interested in him and seemingly thrilled by his every smile, he just shined.

It was so rewarding to have him handed back to me and hear, “Wow, he really did great.”  They even put him in a second outfit and used him for a pajama group shot.  I couldn’t have been happier with the day’s outcome and now I will wait patiently to see if and where his images will be used for the Holiday season.  All in all – not bad for a “backup!”

From the Momager Trenches Seattle/ Vancouver: Working 3 Markets Means Triple the Travel Time!

From the Momager Trenches Seattle/ Vancouver: Working 3 Markets Means Triple the Travel Time!

Posted on 03. Nov, 2010 by .

Occasionally, I respond to emails faster than I actually think about them. Okay, perhaps I do this more often than occasionally. I could easily blame my smart phone but to be honest it’s me, in all my positivity, saying “yes” to everything. And “yes” can often cause a bit of a conundrum or in the case of last Thursday, an official time-warp-dilemma.

As a working actress in 3 separate markets (My 9 year old daughter is a dual citizen who works in both the Vancouver, BC, Seattle, WA and Los Angeles, CA), Jane requires a lot of transportation to auditions and a lot of management.  As other momagers know, it’s a “fly by the seat of your pants” business in which it’s not unusual to have 24 hours notice (or less) for an audition call.  As a family, we have to be ready to “Go!” at all times; so much so that  I permanently keep a packed bag in the car.   Working in three markets makes for an enormous amount of scheduling, but that coupled with my inability to “think before I type” created last week’s super-challenge.

The first email I said yes to was for an audition at 5:20 p.m. in Seattle, WA which is only 45 minutes from my home. The second email was for a potential audition in L.A. that same day for a fantastic, “oh my gosh I’ve won the lottery!” type job.  I thought “Absolutely we’re available for that!”  In reality it’s a 17 hour drive to L.A. from my home and at that point, while it would be tight, I could still make an afternoon audition  in Seattle.

Then about 15 minutes later, I confirmed a third email for a 2:50 p.m. audition in Vancouver, BC.

A nanosecond after that, I had a mild panic attack.

It is a 2 1/2 hour drive between Vancouver and Seattle, not including the border wait. What had I done?  Both of these city’s markets had been quiet for awhile and I became so excited for Jane to have an audition that I lost some sanity temporarily.  How was I going to turn Vancouver down if we confirmed an audition in L.A. and how was I going to make this all work for Jane?

I went back to the emails. I simultaneously emailed the Seattle agent and the Vancouver agent, explaining the situation.  I was completely honest on all accounts and never made an excuse.  Then I had to wait…and wait…and wait for their replies.

The Seattle agent responded first. There was a 12:20 p.m. available. Hmmm….that doesn’t really help, but thanks anyway. Then the Vancouver agent responded. She’d emailed the casting director, but felt he most likely wouldn’t respond until the morning. As I calmly told her thanks, my inner self wanted to scream, “How am I supposed to wait until morning? It’s a 4 hour drive to Vancouver! I need a more time!”

“Waiting” wasn’t going to ease my mind. I needed a plan, so plan I did. I decided that we were going to head to Vancouver early anyway.

There were 3 possible outcomes:

1. I would get an email on the way to Vancouver confirming an early audition time

2. I could just show up early and ask for her to be seen

3. Our time would remain unchanged

We arrived in Vancouver at 11 a.m. and drove straight to the studio. That’s when the first positive thing happened; the auditions were in session and there were no check-in sheets. I filled out Jane’s paperwork as we silently waited for the casting director to make an appearance. Eventually, he popped out the door and I asked if he wouldn’t mind seeing Jane early. He was very sweet and said, “Of course, no problem.”  Phew!  We were finished in Vancouver by 11:20 a.m. and after a quick side trip to see my best friend’s newborn baby, we sped off to Seattle with 4 hours to spare.

As we departed Vancouver, panic began to creep in again. What if the USA border was backed up? I could end up waiting there for 3 hours and still not make the next audition. Perhaps I shouldn’t have seen my friend’s baby? Think good thoughts, think good thoughts. We approached the USA border anticipating the worst. Verdict: A 5 minute wait. What!? Only five minutes? Fantastic! I realized we could make it on time and even grab lunch on the way!

The final obstacle was going to be Seattle’s rush hour traffic. I just had to keep the positive energy going and keep the car in cruise, minding my MPH as a speeding ticket would definitely cramp our positive outlook on the day.

We arrived in Seattle, parked on quite possibly the steepest hill in King County and signed in to the 5:20 p.m. audition at very prompt 4:18 p.m.  As luck would have it, the second casting director saw Jane early too.  We were in and out of the Seattle audition and back on the road by 4:45 p.m.

We would make it home at a decent enough hour to have a small celebration with my middle child who was turning 6 that same day. Oh, did I mention I was coordinating that too? Not only was it his birthday, but I had toted my 23 month old with us to all these auditions and he never once made a fuss.

Jane never was called to audition for the L.A. dream job, but I think we had pressed our “travel” luck enough for one day, don’t you?

From the Momager Trenches Seattle & Vancouver, BC: Its L.A. Calling…Is Your Coogan Account Ready?

From the Momager Trenches Seattle & Vancouver, BC: Its L.A. Calling…Is Your Coogan Account Ready?

Posted on 17. Oct, 2010 by .

It began with the text…“You have an audition in L.A!”

It was followed by the phone call…“You’re booked in L.A.!”

Then it concluded with sheer panic as the casting director reminded me to bring my daughter’s work permit and Coogan account information with me.

“Huh?”

O.K, what I actually said to her was a little more explicit than that but this is a PG-story.

I began to Google.

For the last 5 years, my daughter Jane has been working as a child actor out of the Vancouver, BC and Seattle markets. Working in Los Angeles has always been a goal, but to be honest, I wasn’t prepared to have her actually work there. So there I was, on a Tuesday morning, shoot scheduled for Saturday, daughter over the moon and me, mom in freak out mode.

First things first. Jane needed a work permit. California work permits are free (which is nice) and the forms are online (also nice); however, I didn’t have time to wait for the completed permits to return to me via the postal system.  It was rumored on the Google-verse (Google Universe) that completed permits could be obtained in person at the Van Nuys, CA office.  I called the permit office in Van Nuys and a lovely lady informed me that “Yes, we do ‘in person’ work permits, Monday through Friday.”

I breathed a sigh of relief as I realized I could actually accomplish this. It’s a 17 hour drive to Los Angeles and as it was only Tuesday I thought to myself, “This is do-able.”  The woman at the Van Nuys office kindly reminded me that all three boxes on the permit form (Attendance, Scholarship/Grades, and Health) needed to be marked as satisfactory and that my daughter’s school would need to sign with their official stamp or seal. As I thanked her for her help I quickly realized my next dilemma; My daughter Jane is home schooled.

Washington Virtual Academy is the home school program we use and it fits well with Jane’s lifestyle. I immediately called their head office and sure enough they had a real office location, with an official seal and even more amazingly, it was located only 20 miles from my home. The pieces were all coming together.

I called Leah at Mangum Casting to ask about a Coogan account. Coogan accounts are trust accounts required by the states of California and New York as a condition of issuance of work permits for minors who wish to work in the entertainment business. They are named for Jackie Coogan, who was a child star of the 20th century whose earnings were squandered by his own parents. Leah at Magnum told me to call with any questions and I certainly didn’t want to let her down. She suggested I go to the AFTRA-SAG Credit Union, as they deal with Coogan accounts all the time. I looked it up and gathered all the information I needed: birth certificate, social security number, driver’s license, and money for a deposit to open the account. We loaded up the car and off we went.

The work permit process went exactly how it was supposed to go. I handed over the paperwork. We waited. They called Jane’s name. Work permit was secured. The Coogan account? Now that’s where we ran into a little snag.

George, the new accounts manager at the credit union, was very helpful.  He took all my documentation and began to open the account. All was moving along well until George asked the question that would later wake me from a dead sleep at 4 am., “Do you have a letter from your agent?”

“What?!?!?’ I gasped while simultaneously pulling up the email feature on my cell phone.

“Yes,” George stated matter of factly, “We need a letter saying Jane is represented.”

“On letterhead,” he adds.

George assured me that the verification of Jane’s representation could be emailed as long as he received it by the following afternoon. That way, he wouldn’t have to close the account we just opened.

“You know George, this requirement wasn’t on the website,” I said calmly.

George replied, “It’s a new requirement.”

By the time we left the bank, I had emailed all three of Jane’s agents and left some frantic voice-mails for them as well. As the matter was now officially out of my control, we headed to the beach for some therapeutic and much-needed mother-daughter pedicures.

At 7:00 a.m. the next morning, Jane’s Seattle agent Gordon furnished me with the letter and a few hours later, George from the bank confirmed that it was sufficient.  On Saturday afternoon I proudly presented all the completed paperwork to the producer and as she warmly accepted them she asked if I had copies. Copies?!?!?!

Maybe for the next job.

From the Momager Trenches Los Angeles: Baby’s First Talent Agent

From the Momager Trenches Los Angeles: Baby’s First Talent Agent

Posted on 06. Aug, 2010 by .

I am thrilled to announce that my infant son Cash will now be working with Jet Set Models, the premier baby modeling agency in Southern California.  Click Here to check out Cash’s profile on the Jet Set Models page.

When I was told Jet Set had accepted Cash as one of their models, I was also told that I needed 40 outdoor, clean shots of him in brightly-colored clothes with no logos or cartoon characters.  Wow.  to the uninitiated this may seem like a plausible request, but I was instantly worried about the obstacles I was sure to face.

1. Wardrobe - Bright colors? Ooh – that nice green onesie!  But wait, there’s a monkey on it. Veto.  Ok, off to Carter’s I go…

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find brightly-colored shirts for 6-month-old boys that are completely free of cute sayings and cartoon characters? 4 stores and 3 adorable outfits later, my mission was complete and they were all on clearance, thankyouverymuch.

2. Outdoor Lighting - It is best to take photographs in the early morning or the late afternoon.  At other times of the day the direct sunlight causes shadows and squinting babies aren’t as cute as happily-shaded babies.  However, this is so much easier said than done.   Most mornings were so busy that I found myself racing against the sun, begging it not to move around the corner of my building so I would still be able to shoot inside the apartment as the sun came in through the East-facing windows.

If I tried to shoot outside, this meant releasing “the beast” (aka Shelby, my 2.5-year-old) into her natural habitat.  I would, in turn, spend every second making sure she doesn’t hurt herself (or one of the unsuspecting bugs on the sidewalk) and not be able to take any pictures, completely defeating the purpose of going outside in the first place.  In the end, I got the shots with some impromptu late afternoon shoots with the sun coming in from the South-side windows.  The money shot, as I like to call it, I got when I managed to sneak away sans toddler to the park one early morning.

3. Supported Sitter - While I am not trying to rush his life as a baby, it would have been tremendously easier to take good pictures of Cash if he could sit up on his own.  I have been saying that I can’t wait for him to sit up since day one, though, because I need 4 sets of hands to accomplish anything.  Or maybe I think it will be so cute when he can sit with Shelby and really play and interact with her.  But for the pictures, I had to sneakily hold him upright with one hand and then take one-handed shots with the other - causing many of them to come out blurry for obvious reasons.  As of a few days ago, he’s actually started balancing solo for a fair amount of time.  So for round two of pictures, this shouldn’t be an issue.

A few sunny days, plenty of funny faces, and about 400 pictures later, I had a fairly decent collection of photos.  The top 40 were whittled down to 4 and here we are – ready to roll – bring on the castings!

And for those of you who are wondering, Shelby’s look just wasn’t right for Jet Set at this time.  But no worries!  We are shopping around for another agency just for her.

From the Momager Trenches: An L.A. Baby’s First Modeling Job

From the Momager Trenches: An L.A. Baby’s First Modeling Job

Posted on 21. Jun, 2010 by .

Cash actually made his first modeling appearance as a baby bump in this ad for Pezdor Swimwear.

Yes, I admit it. I am an aspiring Momager trying my best to help my son Cash and daughter Shelby smoothly break into the world of baby modeling. Cash started modeling young, really young – in utero to be exact (photo right) when I did my first and only paid modeling gig for international swimwear company Pezdor of Barcelona, Spain.  Cash’s first modeling assignment outside the womb was an unpaid job for Zuzii Footwear, a developing infant footwear company. We took this particular job for fun as well as experience, and it went extremely well.

I stumbled across a Craigslist posting seeking babies in his age range to model infant shoes and decided to give it a shot. Be forewarned, many Craigslist postings seeking baby or children models are a scam.  Ads will lure you in with lines like, “DO YOU HAVE THE CUTEST KID?” Then after your initial contact with the advertiser, they waste no time requesting your attendance at *free modeling seminars* or *interviews.*   They will then undoubtedly ask for money to put your child on their casting site or for professional pictures.  I happened to get lucky and find an honest company that was planning a legitimate photoshoot for their product. Again, I stress the luck part. Craigslist is definitely not the place to look for castings for your children.

About one week after sending in some basic snapshots of Cash, Zuzii responded, saying that Cash looked like a happy baby and that they would love to shoot with him.   In exchange for our time, they offered him 3 pairs of shoes, custom-made for his little tootsies!  They even came out to our neck of the woods and met us at a local park to take his measurements.  I liked this because I had the chance to meet with the Creative Director and feel out the situation in advance of the shoot. I signed a release form, giving them full usage of the images for their promotional use. Had I not met with them that day, I would have been very nervous about going to the actual shoot.   This initial meeting allowed me to see that they were professional and legitimate.

Baby Cash becomes a professional foot model!

Trying to avoid being photographed herself backfired. "I actually look like I hate my baby," Michele notes of this picture.

Zuzii rented out the beautiful Studio 13 in downtown LA for the photo shoot. They were extremely organized and accommodating. Every baby was booked for an individual time slot in order to give each one undivided attention. Since Cash was so young and couldn’t sit up on his own, I sat out of the shot and propped him up most of the time.  They did have me hold him for a few shots, in order to get a different angle on the shoes. For some reason, I assumed that my face would not be in those pictures. Unfortunately, it was.  This is so unfortuate because not only was I assuming that I wasn’t in the shot, but I was actively trying not to be in it, as well. This combination made for some very interesting facial expressions on my part. I actually look like I hate my baby in a few of them (photo right). Oh well, lesson learned, I suppose.

Cash gives his best Zoolander "Blue Steel" Impression.

If someone walked in on a baby photoshoot and did not see the baby, they would be completely justified in assuming that the adults there were possible mental patient escapees. I don’t know what looked sillier – the photographer, myself, and Cristin, the Creative Director, all simultaneously blowing raspberries at Cash or the three of us doing a jolly little jig together. It was a tough job, but it was all worth it when we got the perfect shot of his happy little baby smile. Although, he did break out his best ‘Zoolander’ face for the money shot of the day (photo left).

Baby Cash grows like a weed so unfortunately he never had the chance to wear his awesome new custom-made shoes.   In the amount of time it took from the measurements to us receiving the shipment, his little monkey toes were already hanging over the edge of the sandals.  Luckily, his 4-month-old cousin, Cole, was in the market for some new kicks, so we happily handed them down.

At a mere 3.5 months old, Cash was surprisingly cooperative and enjoyed being the center of attention. I chose to do the shoot for experience – not just for him, but for me, too. I liken it to a warm-up shoot. Now when (notice I say when and not if) we book our first shoot, I will have that much more confidence in the situation. Whether it will be on a much larger scale or in a small and intimate setting similar to this shoot, I will at least have a little experience under my belt and not be walking into the situation completely green and blind. Overall, a great experience and that was really enjoyable.
