Service Review: Ready, Go…Set! Audition Coaching, Transportation & On-Set Chaperones

Service Review: Ready, Go…Set! Audition Coaching, Transportation & On-Set Chaperones

Posted on25. Mar, 2010 by Editor Tracy Bobbitt.

I drive a lot. And by a lot, I mean all the freaking time.  At the risk of sounding like a mathematical word problem, my daughter’s school is located about 15 miles away to the west. So with 2 round trips per day to and from school, I drive a minimum of at least 60 miles every day. But it’s always much more driving than that with auditions, acting class, privates, cheer, golf, parties, sleepovers, the dog park, etc. which all seem to take place about 15 miles to the east.  My alter ego is that of a yellow cab driver. I always tell people, and it’s true, that I wouldn’t be able to take the journey of the Hollywood Mom if I had more than one child because of the demands it entails.  Several parents I know have kids who would love to be in the business but aren’t simply because of the constant driving it requires and the craziness it is to juggle the schedules of multiple children.

A few weeks ago as I was schlepping (*happily*) to yet another audition, I thought, wouldn’t it be great if I could clone myself?  One of me could be going to this audition with Jo and the other one of me could be doing everything else it takes to keep our household and businesses together.  That’s when I learned about Ready…Go…Set! a unique service which provides the ultimate in audition preparation, coaching, transportation to and from and chaperoning of young actors on set.  That’s right Hollywood Moms, you no longer have an excuse not to get it all done.

Ready…Go…Set! (RGS) is the brainchild of acting coaches Katie Von Till, Joanna Brooks, and Lisa N. Lennox, who collectively have national commercials, TV programs, broadcast news, films, video games, Broadway tours and regional theatre productions to their credit.  The coaches each have degrees in Theatre with extensive training in acting, improv and directing.  Some of their client’s recent bookings include “The Wizards of Waverly Place,” and the series finale of  “ER.” Clients have been called back to producer/director sessions for TV shows and movies including: FRED (the motion picture), “Eastwick,” “Oldyweds,” “Roommates,” “The United States of Tara,” “Good Luck Charlie,” “Mackenzie Blue,” “The Good Wife,” “Make It or Break It,” “Parenthood,” and more.

Some of the services RGS provides:

  • RGS can pick up your child from school or home and drive him/her to an audition.
  • Busy schedule preventing you from getting your child to appointments?  RGS can coach your child at their place or yours or via SKYPE.
  • RGS will coach your child on his/her audition material so that he/she has a strong “take” and approach to the scene and to the character.
  • RGS will prepare your child so he/she knows what to do upon entering the room and meeting the producers and casting directors. As working actors, as well as coaches, they understand the process and know how important it is to feel comfortable throughout the audition.
  • RGS’ goal is to assist your child with the choices he/she makes about the audition material so that he/she feels confident about his/her talent, comfortable in the audition and hopefully books the job!
  • When your child has booked the job, RGS can serve as temporary guardians for the day, as on-set chaperones, when you can’t get off work to be with him/her as the law requires.  The coaches stay as long as your child is needed on set and then drive your child home at the end of the work day.

So how much will this god send of a service set you back?  One hour of coaching runs $65/hour with $50 for each additional hour.  All other service time including driving is $25.00 per hour, with a $5 discount after 3 hours. Please inquire for weekly or monthly discounted rates for on-going coaching.  Extra fees may apply for overnight shoots and driving distances exceeding 20 miles.

As RGS is not a partnership, each coach is hired on an individual basis. Find individual contact information and complimentary parent endorsements & testimonials on www.ReadyGoSet.net

With Zenia Photography, Head Shots are a Day at the Beach!

With Zenia Photography, Head Shots are a Day at the Beach!

Posted on01. Mar, 2010 by Editor Tracy Bobbitt.

When? Yesterday, on a quintessential sunny, So Cal Sunday morning.
Where? The Pier in Santa Monica.
What? A day at the beach with Zenia of Zenia Photography.
Why? Our child actor Jordan needs updated head shots people. She turns 11 this week and her last head shots were taken at  the tail end of year 9. We’ve gone from a 9 year old child to an 11 year old tween in these few short years.  Her pictures need to reflect that change.

While Zenia was shooting Jordan in a variety of locations around the Santa Monica Pier, I was snapping them both thanks to my iphone camera and my favorite, new iphone accessory the iGo Green Charge Anywhere (courtesy of  the hip chicks at Los Angeles Mom Blog ). For each of Jordan’s outfit changes, Zenia found backdrops with colors and textures that could have fallen out of a 120 count box of Crayolas.  I’ll be doing a full post on Zenia Photography in a few weeks with a handful of Jordan’s new pics. For those of you who need your kid’s head shots done pronto, call and book your appointment with Zenia directly at (310) 751-0615.

Product Review: The GRAB-N-GO by Smart Girls Who Surf makes the perfect stocking stuffer

Product Review: The GRAB-N-GO by Smart Girls Who Surf makes the perfect stocking stuffer

When it comes to my daughter, I’m admittedly a skin care fanatic. Likely because I wasn’t one myself growing up on the beaches of Southern California and suffered from more than my fair share of sun burns thanks to an unwise teen-inspired concoction of baby oil and iodine. Don’t ask.

Fortunately, this new generation is much better informed about potential skin damage than mine was.  Smart Girls Who Surf, a natural skin care company hailing from my home turf, Laguna Beach, has created Grab-N-Go kits designed specifically for girls who spend a lot of time outdoors.  Each kit contains all the necessities to protect a Smart Girl’s skin and hair from the sun: 2 oz. SPF 30+ sunblock, 2 oz.  After Sun Soothing Lotion, 2 oz. Care for Hair Sun Protector (SPF 7), one natural glycerin Soap for Surfers, one SPF 15 all natural lip balm (Vanilla or Cherry) and a comb.

If your family is jumping on a plane to your favorite island beach or ski resort this winter break, it’s the perfect size to pack in your daughter’s carry-on bag (all items are FAA-approved sizes) and for those of you staying at home, it’s also the ideal size to throw in backpacks or hand bags for daily outings. We take our Grab-n-Go with us on every beach outing and it was a must-have on our recent trip to Palm Dessert.jo-maddie-beach

So aside from the cute name and snazzy packaging, why buy Smart Girls sunscreen? Easy.  Smart Girls sunblocks are completely natural, loaded with antioxidants, chemical free, water resistant and won’t sting the eyes. All of their sunblock, lotions, conditioners, and soaps are PARABEN FREE and CHEMICAL FREE, while the majority of other sun care products on the market contain harmful chemicals that pollute the water and are dangerous to our health.  All SGWS products are manufactured in an FDA approved facility in the USA and are tested on surfers and parents, not animals.

When you’re shopping on the Smart Girls website, you’ll be pleased to know that this is one holiday gift you’ll give this season that actually gives back! Smart Girls is proud to support several non-profit organizations whose overall company missions and values reflect their own: Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC), Surfrider Foundation, Girls, Inc. and School Power (the Laguna Beach Education Foundation), as well as donating product to numerous shelters.

One lucky Hollywood Mom Blog reader will receive  their own Grab-N-Go kit just in time for the holidays!  Simply enter the contest by sharing with us below in the comment section who you would give your kit to (child, grandchild, friend etc.)  and why (beach vacation, cruise, skiing, often outdoors, etc).  The lucky winner will be announced December 15, 2009. Good Luck to all who enter!

Product Review: My Earth 360 is Eco-Conscious E-commerce

Product Review: My Earth 360 is Eco-Conscious E-commerce

hmb-cover-page-my-earth-360-final-copy

myEARTH360.com is an extensive internet haven dedicated to all things green: whether it’s household cleaning products,  school supplies, water purification systems, cards or gifts, this alternative one-stop-stop seems to stock it all.

One of my favorite items carried by myEARTH360.com is the Kids Konserve Lunch Kit which retails for $41.99.  With my daughter Jordan not always “loving” the planned school lunch and her after school activities/auditions becoming increasingly frequent, the lunch kit has been a real life saver when we’re on the go.

Each Lunch Kit is comprised of a lightweight, washable canvas bag that neatly fits a  cloth napkin, 304 food-grade stainless steel beverage bottle, food kozy and two food-grade stainless steel food containers.   The well designed grouping curtails my tendency to overuse plastic baggies and plastic water bottles and Jordan loves that her water stays cool all day and her lunch/snack items don’t get crushed or become stale.

myEARTH 360’s founder Lynn Hasselberger’s mission is to raise environmental awareness and help families transition to an earth-friendlier lifestyle.  The e commerce site and blog grew out of  Lynn’s personal concern of the toxins found in everyday items and the struggle to keep her family safe from them.

In 2006, when son Ethan began first grade, Lynn was shocked by the over-consumption she witnessed in the classroom: cases of bottled water in parents’ trunks; refrigerators packed with plastic-bottled Gatorade and the school requirement that each student bring a bottle of water to school, every day.  Aware that about every 3 days in the USA we toss out enough water bottles to encircle the earth’s equator, Lynn immediately realized she was living at the epicenter of the problem.

While her some Ethan was initially reluctant to carry the reusable water bottle Lynn sent him to school with each day, she preached about environmental impact and cost.  Eventually a young advocate was born in Ethan and he began urging family members to turn off lights and to walk instead of drive to the neighborhood store.  In this brief time, not only has Lynn revolutionized her own lifestyle, taught her child valuable life lessons and created a business but she’s managed to::

  • Develop the “I Count for My Earth Campaign,” a school program that gets the green message out to kids in an interactive, fun way (check out the I Count for My Earth video clip to see for yourself!).
  • Create and sell signature “I Count for My Earth” water bottles at Ethan’s suburban Chicago school.
  • Encourage consumers to ‘vote with their dollars by shopping at my 360 earth with its diverse array of no-sacrifices-necessary, low-impact products from essentials (home, school and office supplies, pet care, etc.) to extras (tableware and fashion), everything you buy counts for the earth!
  • Launch of myEARTH360.com hosted green parties wherein attendees share ideas on how to buy more while discovering amazing green products from the eco-practical to the eco-chic.
  • Inform readers (via Regular e-newsletters and blog updates) about important eco-related issues like indoor air pollution, the battle of bottled water and steps to take.

Now, thanks to myEARTH 360 a lucky HMB reader will win a Kids Konserve Lunch Kit in this adorable butterfly pattern. Simply add your comment below telling us what your family’s Eco-conscious habit is! Winner will be announced and notified October 26, 2009.

Review & Giveaway: SHRNK Clothing for Cool Kids

Review & Giveaway: SHRNK Clothing for Cool Kids

Posted on24. Jul, 2009 by Susan St. Jean.

shrnk-dress-on-lexie-and-manq

Congrats to Denise M., of Sun Prarie, Wisconsin – the winner of Hollywood Mom Blog’s @SHRNK review & giveaway!

Between what my 3 year old son thinks is “sooo cool,” and my 6 1/2 year old daughter “HAS to wear,” and what I feel is age-appropriate, I’m ecstatic to say we’ve all found common ground in shrnk brand clothing.

shrnk’s summer line (pronounced “shrunk”)  includes adorable, trendy clothes that rock with kids of all ages (even celebrity baby Honor Marie is wearing shrnk!), hence the acronym of the name – Stylin’ Hip Rags for Newborns & Kids – exactly what moms need to meet in the middle with the 6-going-on-16 year-olds.

My daughter test-drove the Paisley Maxi Dress ($50) and it was a huge success with a child who up to now has refused to wear any dress – period.  This is one strappy, sun dress my little skate punk actually wants to wear! The cotton lining and tie-neckline silhouette highlight the line’s attention to detail and my daughter found it ultra comfy on these steamy, summer days.  Shrnk’s Paisley Maxi Dress comes in a beautiful coral paisley print with string tie t-back that’s edgy enough to keep the little girls feeling like a rock-star on vacation.  More casual tee dresses available at shrnk.com that can transition easily from summer to school with the addition of some cool and funky lace leggings ($26).  The girls line is a great compromise of fun and funky fashion that our kids demand but still fresh and age-appropriate.

experience-tee-and-christianMy 3 ½ year old son adores the Wisdom & Experience tee in Aqua ($30) and doesn’t want to take it off.  The t-shirt he calls “super awesome” features a retro yin and yang design flanked by colorful wings, reminiscent of a Hendrix album cover.  The cotton is just thin enough, ultra soft and again shrnk’s attention to detail is evident.  The color is a cool, soft aqua (also available in brown), the screen-printing is well-done and the quality construction is going to stand up to as much as a toddler can put it through, wash after wash.   My favorite feature on this particular tee is the rolled edge sleeve. I love the aged look, but in the past have had many problems with rolled sleeves unraveling. The Wisdom & Experience tee provides the vintage rolled edge look, but smartly includes an over-lock stitch edge  to prevent unraveling and fray.  Some other shrnk favorites include the “AB/CD” t-shirts for boys – a playful and colorful take on vintage AC/DC concert tees for “Those About to Rock”!

Check out Shrnk’s user-friendly website for easy online shopping (retail and wholesale), that includes fun features like their gallery photos of little shrnk fans clad in their super cool threads – celebrities in the making! Available in many retail shops across the USA and online at Shrnk.com and a favorite store of Hollywood Moms, RockinSprouts.com.

The cool ladies behind the shrnk label are offering the readers of Hollywood Mom Blog the opportunity to win a FREE tee or dress to one lucky winner! The wining name will be drawn August 7, 2009. To enter to win, simply post what your back-to-school choice is from the shrnk.com website in the feedback selection below.

Congrats to Mom, Michelle C. & her daughter in North Carolina – the lucky winners of the @Paperlili Bling Bling Leggings!

As the momagers and popagers of  aspiring actors and actresses, it’s our responsibility to help prepare our kids at audition time and assist junior in booking those jobs.  This momager task includes dressing them appropriately for the casting call but with a smidgen of pizazz – a tall order given the confines of  audition clothing rules: no logo wear, various color restrictions, etc.

Enter Paperlili brand with their line of personalized stud-embellished clothing, a wonderful option for helping kids to subtly leave a lasting impression with the casting directors.  Recall that line from the song “Fame”?  “Baby, remember my name!” I particularly love Paperlili’s assortment of studded leggings and headbands for this purpose.  Thrown on under a tunic or twirly skirt, the leggings provide coverage with just a hint of sass and the “nick-name” headbands are great for reiterating who your future star is!

Designer Cristy  Leonard makes each studded piece to order allowing you the ability to create virtually any personalization and making their use for auditions endless.  For example – Going on a pom pom girl audition? Throw on your headband emblazoned with “Cheer” “Spirit” or “Rah!” The casting director wants your daughter to look like the next Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift? How about some leggings personalized with “Pop Star” or “Rock Star” on the lower calf?  See where I’m going with this?  Paperlili’s innate versatility let’s your young star be whomever she needs to be.

My daughter adores her Paperlili leggings (audition or not) and your actress is sure to love them too.  Available in sizes 2 through 12   (I ordered one size up) and run $40 a pair. Order a pair now with discount code FRIEND and receive 20% off your purchase.

Thanks to Paperlili you have the opportunity to Win a pair of Leggings for your daughter! Simply describe in the comment section below the saying or phrase you would choose to place on a pair of leggings. The winner will be drawn at random and announced on August 1, 2009.

Review & Giveaway: UV SKINZ – Fashionable Sun Protection!

Review & Giveaway: UV SKINZ – Fashionable Sun Protection!

Posted on29. Jun, 2009 by Hollywood Mom.

uv-skinz-compilation-2-b

During the summer in Southern California there are a few things Hollywood Moms can’t get enough of:  Rocking Beach Wear, Serious Sun Protection and an amazing Love Story.  For all these reasons,  UV Skinz tops and shorts are at the top of the Hollywood Mom Blog’s Must-Haves List for summer.

brown-aloha-collectionUV Skinz are comfy, fashion-forward swimwear, tees, shorts and hats available in a myriad of sizes, infants through adults; but most  importantly UV Skinz offers chemical-free sun protection, carrying a UPF rating of 50+, which blocks out over 98% of the sun’s harmful rays.  UV Skinz are also a brilliant alternative for kids and babies with skin allergies and sensitivities to chemicals that many sunscreens contain.

So how does UV Skinz work it’s protective magic?  The secret is in the tight weave of the fabric.  And speaking of fabric, there is no shortage of color and pattern combinations available in the pieces which are specifically designed to be mixed and matched.  Unlike typical rash guards auv-skinz-boysnd protective swim shirts available on the market, UV Skinz are not skin tight.  The t-shirt like design with larger than average neck holes lets kids breathe comfortably just as the micro fiber silky smooth material breathes while wicking away moisture for quick drying – likely the reason they’re seen on the tykes of Hollywood Parents, Marcia Cross and Matthew McConaughey.

In the pics above taken earlier in the week at the fabulous Santa Monica Beach Club, Jordan is sporting UV Skinz’ Cassidy short sleeve top in chocolate & teal paired with adorable boy cut shorts.  I love this outfit – LOVE.  But don’t just take my word for it, this is what 10 year old Jordan has to say about UV Skinz:  “I like that it’s comfortable, with stretchy fabric and that it protects me from the sun. My favorite thing is the Hawaiian theme of my outfit in my favorite colors blue and brown.”

My favorite part about UV Skinz?  The touching love story behind the brand.  Owner Rhonda Sparks launched UV Skinz in 2005 after losing Darren, her 32-year-old husband and the father of their three sons, to the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma.

rhonda-sparks-and-her-sons

Rhonda Sparks & her sons

Rhonda:  “I am fully committed to my company and helping to raise awareness about the potential dangers of the sun.   It’s horrible loosing my husband, and I would like it if I could stop that from happening to another family.  At the end of the day, [UV Skinz] is about protecting our children. We promote safe, healthy living under the sun.  What better business is there to be in than that?!”

UV Skinz is graciously giving One Lucky Reader the Opportunity to WIN one of these Adorable and Protective Swim Outfits. Simply enter your name in the comment section below, briefly describing the top item on your “summer-must-haves” list.  The winner will be announced July 15, 2009.

Kids Book Review: “Mo’s Nose” Storytime at Healthy Spot LA June 27th

Posted on16. Jun, 2009 by Hollywood Mom.

You’re driving the little ones to an audition in rush hour traffic Friday afternoon (you crazy mom) when you realize the kids have completed their 87th consecutive viewing of the Backyardigans DVD and your secret stash of Mott’s for Tots and Pirate’s Booty is  running dangerously low.  Whining, leading to full blown tantrums, is merely seconds away.  Quick! What now?

mos-nose1

Being the ace pre-planner that you are, you’re going to whip out the book series “Mo’s Nose” by author Margaret Hyde and illustrator Amanda Giacomini: wonderful earth-friendly childrens books  following the “scentasational” adventures of real-life rescued stray, Mo; “Earth-friendly” because the books are printed on recycled paper with soy ink and “Scentsational” because all of Mo’s discoveries coordinate with push and sniff scent buttons, sure to keep your preschoolers happily occupied. And the scents are less tutti frutti and more aromatherapy-minded which is a big plus for mom.

In the original Mo Smells Red our hero encounters strawberries, roses and fire before coming upon the best red smell of all – Love.   In the new follow-up “Mo Smells Green” our favorite canine pounces from grassy hills, limes and mint before concluding that green is the scent of Life.

Saturday, June 27th from 1-4 pm, “Mo’s Nose and Healthy Spot L.A. will be hosting a Friends of Mo event, free to the public. The event will feature storytime, stickers, balloons, pet and people-friendly door prizes and tips from the L.A. Chapter of Best Friends.org on kids and rescued animals. At this shop-for-a-cause event, 10% of the day’s proceeds from Mo’s Nose and Healthy Spot L.A. will benefit BestFriends Rescue Organization.

Friends of Mo are an inspired club of Mo readers, non-profits and retail partners dedicated to making the planet a better place for all four and two-legged creatures.  Friends of Mo believe charity is an action, not just a thought and that the littlest Friends can make the biggest impact.  Learn more about the charity and these wonderful books at www.mosnose.com.

A Winning Name HAS BEEN CHOSEN!  We’ll post her name and comments shortly! motts3-crop

The clock is ticking and the countdown’s begun – less than a week until the *Mother* of all holidays.  Do you know where your Mother’s day gift is?

Good news! It’s possible the HollywoodMomBlog.com has you covered this year.  HMB is giving away a luxurious Mothers Day Package courtesy of Mott’s brand and gorgeous Hollywood Mom Marcia Cross, in honor of the Mott’s Wake-up Call Campaign.  This Mother’s Day gift from Mott’s is packed with $200.00 worth of goodies all moms will truly appreciate, including:

To enter, simply share your favorite Mott’s Moment in the comment section below – anything from your favorite Mott’s product, Mott’s-inspired family recipe or your feelings about Mott’s charitable Wake-up Call Campaign.  The lucky winner will be drawn and announced on Mother’s Day.

Leave it to Mott’s to create the perfect recipe for a luxurious Mother’s Day while delivering meals to children in need and raising awareness of the 36 million Americans who currently live at risk of hunger in our nation.  The Wake-up Call Campaign is designed to “wake up” Americans to the prevalence of hunger in our own country. Mott’s is joined in this effort by Emmy-nominated actress Marcia Cross, and the nation’s largest hunger relief organization, Feeding America and together, they will provide one million meals to needy American children and their families this year. Here’s the best part; We can help. Go to Motts.com and send a celebrity wake-up call (from Marcia Cross!) to yourself or a friend, for free.

For each wake-up call placed, Mott’s donates one dollar to Feeding America and that dollar will provide more than seven healthy meals distributed via Feeding America’s network of partner food banks across the United States.  “I’m humbled and proud to be working with Mott’s to literally wake up America to the fight against hunger and help people get a healthy start to the day,” said Cross. “As a mother, I am saddened by the number of families who go hungry in our country. I hope people will hear our message and help us make a difference by placing their own call today at Motts.com.

While Feeding America currently feeds nine million of these children, many also rely on free or reduced price lunches at school during the week. However, getting food to an at-risk child on the weekends and during the summer remains a challenge, especially as many food banks experience a sharp decline in donations post-holiday season.

The Mott’s Wake-Up Call program has a goal of helping to raise awareness for the issue of hunger, providing meals to children and families who need them and encouraging food bank donations during the important spring and summer months. For constant updates from Motts visit their twitter page or the official Mott’s site.
