There are three things I have been concentrating on lately: 1) Be good to those who are good to you. 2) Politely defer from those that aren’t & 3) Work like a dog when you want to sleep. Gotta stay busy so life is always fun! Today, I am scouting dancers, practicing my Spanish, and working on my Detroit grant. Tonight, I am editing my short, photoshopping posters, and seeing a friend that I should have kept in better contact with. It’s important to remember how endless the list can be of things you want for yourself. So I’m ‘funsta use everyday. Can I get a’ amen!!?!!
(Here are pics of my parents when they were on their honeymoon in New Orleans. It looks like my mom made my dad a shirt out of the motel wall paper!)
This is a painting my Great Aunt Sally Swiss painted and sent me a birthday card of. Today is her funeral. RIP. I’ll eat a pork chop for her ;)….well..a bite of one at least! Come back later in the week. My short film ‘History of Made Up Things’ will be wrapped in post on Oct.1st!!! Expect a very drunk Ashley that night, haha!
Burn One has so many new projects lined up I don’t know where to begin! I am so excited for my newest wave of creativity…all I wanna do is shoot stuff!!! This is a photo from a project this past week with Actress/Drummer Jinny Lee Story. Check out the photographer HERE! More from that shoot very soon. I have several new things planned for BOP this week…one being a new video! Check out our old videos on our YOUTUBE PAGE now! I am also holding castings for a Burn One Booty Dancer, so if you live in the LA area email me your dancing reel at BurnOnePro@Gmail.com I don’t want to give too much away but it involves an item from our STORE. I’ll give you one guess!!!
BOP is also very close to wrapping post production on our short film ‘History of Made Up Things’ I have been at the NEOCLECTIC studio all week working on a pop song for the intro with master musician John Baldivia. Here is a pic of that. Gotta also give love to Lexie Beard and Anthony Barden for their amazing songs in the film! I can’t wait to travel to some festivals with it and start raising funds for my next film. It’s been a lot of work but HOMUT has really come together! Get ready for some new updates all over our site very soon!!
I have also been balancing Burn One work with some other fun productions. I landed two photo shoots this past week, and also shot for fun with my friend Phil Donohue (Director, Photographer) Here is a silly outtake …he made me carry a hammer and walk on a roof in Pasadena. Don’t worry, the ‘Thug Life’ tattoo on my stomach is Henna (thank god) Tomorrow I am working for Analigital on a photo shoot for Anchor Blue! We are shooting on THE PHANTOM!! Tuesday I landed a role on the show ‘Operation Repo’ on TRU TV My first..but not last..crack at acting. I never thought I would say that, but it’s so fun! I’m not gonna lie, it should be hillarious! Thats it for now, but follow us on TWITTER for more daily treats. I finally learned how to use it today! xxo Ash
