It's my last day EVER in my office today and so I thought I'd share some hilarity that kept myself and the beautiful @mollyfay going on a particularly monotonous day. Surrounded by a mountain of lipglosses, attaching vouchers to flyers (glamorous eh?) I shared this video with her and our colleague Joe, to keep us entertained...
For those that read regularly you may have seen my Love Story/Starbucks spoof on Hump Day Humour. If not then head on over here. Todays Hump Day Humour is recycled. This was an online audition I had to do circa 2008, for an online dating comedy series. I can't recall who the writer was or the production company comes to think of it. I got shortlisted for the part but wasn't successful unfortunately. Looking back, I don't love it but it is ridiculous and worthy of some laughs, even if it is at my expense.
Meet Melissa, excited, hyper-active, ridiculous, bunny boiler Melissa and her online video tape with which she hopes to reel in a future beau.
So I posted this video as a little aside to THIS blog post on Sunday. This was made over a year ago for a competition when I was desperately trying to make it in the Acting World. I've done a hell of a lot of emotional roles in the past but I do love comedy and since posting this the other day, my creative juices have been flowing and I'm pretty sure this is going to turn into a series. I'm not acting right now but I do miss it, so although they may come few and far between I'm going to try and get as many little sketches on camera that I can so that I can pay homage to what I really love to do. If you've never seen the 1970 movie Love Story with Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neal you may not quite appreciate my snow (grass) angels but I've posted a video at the bottom of this post that sums the movie up in a nutshell.
The dream, to be the next French and Saunders. And, turn my mini series into Starbucks' new ad campaign.
Maybe Ellen Degeneres can make it happen. If you wanted to be a doll you could retweet to help a girl out.
