be your own make-up artist

Continuing the Evie Stewart Lifelong Quest to look professional (and as good as possible) each and every time I have an audition, a meeting, or just show up for a temp job —  here are two beauty must-haves that I can’t seem to live without.

In A Girl’s Essentials (part 2, skincare) I touched on the importance of keeping skin looking as young and fresh and unlined as possible.  We can’t all afford to have as many facials as we’d like (at least I can’t) so a great alternative to spending time and money in a spa is the — Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve noticed that I spend a lot of my volunteer shift just helping people who are lost find their way out of the hospital.

Our ER is in the East Tower but on Sunday nights there’s only one Information Desk open and it’s in the West Tower, so the hospital tries to get everyone who’s entering and leaving the hospital to do it in the west. So in the east, they dim the lights and block the exits, but all that means is — people are walking around totally disoriented in the dark. (OMG! I so know how they feel.)

Lisa's smiling, oh yeah!

Yesterday my acting partner, Nick sent me a link to an article Ken Levine wrote during TV Pilot Season last year. It’s fun to read whether you’re in the TV business, trying to be in the TV business or just watch TV.

I texted back —

So funny! Love it for my blog.

Nick’s comeback —

FUNNY?!  It made me cry!

I mean, Nick’s technically right. It’s ultra-depressing that one of the prerequisites of a Hot Girl role is that the producers look for someone “guys wanna f#@k.” And trust me, this is absolutely true. A major TV producer told me that point blank! Read the rest of this entry »

I can’t believe Find The Funny Monday has rolled back around yet again. Pressure! I’m starting to realize that #findthefunny stories often relate back to my–

MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENTS. Ugh!

Awhile back, I was up for a cable series in a really great role, that I was exactly right for. Well —  exactly right, with the exception of two small details. Mine were “too” small. What they wanted were two bigger and curvier details like Anne Hathaway has in “LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS.”

she's got what it takes

The initial audition went GREAT. The super supportive CD called  my agent Josh right away, saying the producers wanted to see me —

FIND THE FUNNY MONDAYS —

It’s a weekly post about finding the funny in something that might not otherwise be… funny.

About a month ago I started dating a guy (“G”). Not exactly my type, but potentially-interesting.  When I mentioned “G” to my dad, he was so happy that — Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve always been TOTALLY into

H a l l o w e e n | C o s t u m e s

Ever since I was “Bee” at three. But, I never realized until this year, just how much ACTING and HALLOWEEN have a lot in common.

I was enlightened by a pumpkin.

And it’s not just because they both involve costumes and getting sick to your stomach. Ahaha. Read the rest of this entry »

good-byes are hard

So my Twitter bud and fellow Actor @MikeCapozzi forwarded me devastating news about the demise of my favorite website Killthedoor.com.

You may remember that I did an entire post on how fabulous this Actor-friendly site “is” or now I should say “was”. It was like an inside source with casting news, inside info, great advice and resources for Actors yada yada. Apparently it was a little too inside and became a conflict of interests. Boo hoo!

So since, Killthedoor.com and @killthedoor have been ahem, “killed”, I’ve decided to share this little vid with everyone, to watch in absence of a memorial service (you can wear black when you watch it, if you want.) Read the rest of this entry »
