Visa Commercial

A bit of an evening shoot for a few of us at the Stanley Theatre. It's formal name now is the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage. I remember coming here for the first time to watch "The Empire Strikes Back" when it premiered! Marie (Showbiz Management) worked with me tonight. And so did Mark (Showbiz Management). Looks very different inside now. This is make-up artist, Cori Ohirko. Actually, she did my make-up on my first official acting gig a few years ago! It's always fun to see a familiar face. Production: Visa Commercial. Type of Call: 11 Background. Length of Call: 5 hours.

Happy Belated Birthday Simon!!!

There's Todd sticking his head in the lion's mouth. A bunch of us met-up this morning at the P.N.E. to celebrate Simon's birthday! I had a little fun with Squire Barnes' cardboard cutout at the Global BC stand. I love this guy! But my true love is Randene Neill. I think she's so cute! We had a little trouble finding this stand, but we finally got our Funnel Cakes!!! "Funnel Cakes!!!" There's our order getting it's finishing touch. Yeah, Funnel Cake!
Simon and Marie had a little trouble lighting the sparkler. But they eventually found success! "Happy Birthday to You..." "Happy Birthday to You..." "Happy Birthday Dear Simon..." "Happy Birthday to You!!!" He's 29 now! Yeah, that's right! Simon is the true Superman. Artwork by canned goods... WALL-E!!! Oh my, the MOMMIETRON would just love this! A giant Scrabble board?!? Is that me?Todd walked like an Autobot in this photo. We had some fun with the Canadian Forces exhibit. "You want to fuck with us?" Targeting... "FIRE!!!" Time to reload. "Get in there!" "Ooohhh yeeeaaahhh!!!"
"Yo Joe!"
It was time to watch the Superdogs! Inside the Pacific Coliseum... In our seats now. I volunteered to be a judge in one of the competitions! A dancing dog competition! The host reminded me of Richard Dawson's character in "The Running Man". I got a lot of "boos" from the audience because I was giving low scores. I was channeling Simon Cowell. Honestly, I thought this Dalmatian was the best in this event. I just didn't give him a high score because he was only the second dog to perform. "Oh, come on?" This Yorkshire Terrier sucked in this event. These 3 Pugs were good! Discussing our scoring with the committee... After our work, Caesar the Golden Retriever brought a basketful of bandanas for us. I gave him a kiss! Big thanks to Todd for manning my camera!!! After the show, everyone got a chance to take a closer look at the dogs! Her name is Phyllis Diller! Caesar!!! He's my favourite! Good times with the dogs... Back to the military exhibit... We all got a chance to hop in the cockpit of a CF-18 Hornet! "Talk to me, Goose!" "I'm bringing him closer." "I'm gonna hit the brakes, he's gonna fly right by!" "Eject!" Marie and Simon's turn now. Hey, you can see me in the reflection on Marie's glasses! The birthday boy and his gal... Rob and Nathan's turn... Warning! Danger! Quite possibly the prettiest crepe maker on the grounds, Sarah!!! Her family had their crepe stand here! For dessert... We all had Deep-Fried Mars Bars!!! "Deep-Fried Mars Bars!!!" Time to see the livestock! Big fucken horses! Very cute. "Moo!" Piglets! Check out the huge labia minora on this pig! A whole bunch of Babes here! "Oink!" It was crowded today! The Masonator! Oh, the humanity! The Russian House! Russia is hosting the 2014 Winter Olympics! PBO watching... We found some shade in the stands as we waited for... Simon and Marie to enter the Drop Zone!
Check out the video of them taking flight!
PBOs spotted! PBOs walking away... Tortured and interrogated on the bus to class... I couldn't resist taking a photo of Amber in this light. Amber, Todd, and I had dinner at Cactus Club after our video session in Mark Brandon's class. LOL! I bumped into the Lissner twins on the way home!
