Girls Will Be Girls 2012

GWBG Needs Your Remote Cameos More Than Evie Needs A Martini.

 ”Whats wrong? Did my glass eye roll back?”

   No Evie… your glass eye did not roll back but there is one tiny  issue. But no worries because you, the fabulous fans of GWBG can help! The good people who are working hard to bring you more GWBG are missing  a few of the remote Cameos that were sent in as part of our Kickstarter campaign. The files that were originally sent in have gone the way of Evie’s acting career, several of Coco’s unborn babies, and Varla’s metabolism. They seem to be gone…but we simply cannot wait to get your pretty faces (or whatever it is you filmed) into the sequel, so if you filmed material for “Girls Will be Girls”, please do us a solid and send the video files to bestcostumefortheday@hotmail.com at soon as you possibly can, but also at your convenience…but much more so as soon as you possibly can. Videos can be uploaded through Google Drive (the simplest approach in my humble opinion) or sent through https://www.wetransfer.com  

These are a few names we would love to see the Cameos from:

 Jared Norman (Ruby Bouche) and Daniel Wheeler (Kentucky Fried Williams) 

Razmigna Dfemme 

Jennifer Tristian

And somebody with the email of Sgabberry

Thank you all so much for your help and please do not hesitate to email me at Bestcostumefortheday@hotmail.com if you have any question or concerns.

Money Cruise and Cock Holmes Split?!?

Jesus!  No sooner had I peeled my vomit-stuck cheek from the kitchen floor and poured myself another dog of the dog that bit me than I see Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have gotten divorced!  You could have knocked me over with a feather, or just waited a few seconds for me to pass out again!

I never understood those two.  I mean, he’s obviously straight or else how do you explain the two children he adopted with Nicole Kidman?  And we know she loved him because it was in their contract.  Still whenever either of them started talking about the other my head would feel like it’s about to explode, like it always does.  Finally I figured out a little system that helped me make sense of things:

Every time Tom talks about Katie, just substitute all references to Katie with the word “cock.”  And every time Katie talks about Tom, just substitute all references to Tom with the word “money.”  But I should warn you right now, this only becomes funnier and funnier the longer you do it, and never gets old.  

Anyhoo, see for yourself:

TOM:

It was an explosion!  And cock is just magic.  When you find that one cock, you should be unabashed about it.  That’s how I feel about cock.

KATIE:

From the moment I met money, it just felt like I’d known it forever. 

TOM:

I can’t even articulate it, to be honest.  That feeling, that connection.  Just what cock is and what it means to me.

KATIE:

I’ve found the money of my dreams.

TOM:

When cock walks into the room, I just feel better.

KATIE:

Money is the most incredible thing in the world.

TOM:

What cock and I have is very special.

KATIE:

You have to know money…  First of all, money doesn’t put pressure on people. 

TOM:

I’m just very happy, and I have been since the moment I met cock.  

KATIE:

Money makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.

TOM:

I keep looking at cock and thinking, ‘cock is amazing.’  

KATIE:

I love calling money husband.

TOM:

And I’d think the same of cock even if it wasn’t with me — cock is just amazing.

KATIE:

Money and I try not to go for a week without seeing each other.  

TOM:

Every night before we go to sleep, cock and I look at each other and it’s like, ‘How’d we do today?’

KATIE:

Money is the most incredible stuff.  It’s so generous and kind, and it helps so many people, and, um, it makes me laugh like I’ve never laughed, and it’s a great friend.

TOM:

I don’t sleep much and I like adventures.  I wanna do.  Let’s get it goin’, you know?  And that’s cock.

KATIE:

It’s a pleasure and a privilege to be with money.

TOM:

I wanted a cock you could share everything with.

KATIE:

Money and I will always be in our honeymoon phase.

TOM:

I know I’m with the cock I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Of course, the one time this doesn’t work is when they’re talking about Suri.  In those cases, no matter who’s speaking just substitute “Suri” with the word “me.”

Additional shooting day 2

Well today someone was almost killed, sorta-kinda.  

For the past few months I have been working nonstop on GWBG 2012 — first editing like mad to make the Sundance-rejects-us-anyway deadline, and then, once that was revealed to be impossible, getting the new material ready for these reshoots.  In the process a lot of my usual pastimes have fallen away, for instance retiring into the living room at night to drink alone in the dark read.  Over time at least one of the dogs decided this meant the living room was “outside” and started peeing in there, which I noticed one day when there was liquid under some decorative glass olive oil shipping containers I keep on the fireplace.  There is also a light switch I never use nearby that I didn’t even know controls an electrical outlet on my fireplace I also never use until our amazing new volunteer Garrett tried to turn on the house lights as night fell.  He hit that light switch thinking, wildly, that it would turn on lights.  Instead the entire fireplace started vibrating as the hidden dog pee pooled between the electrical outlet and the olive oil container sitting on it became charged, and then transferred that charge to everything around it — ending quite dramatically with the olive oil bottle breaking.  No one was hurt, though the room was full of an acrid smoke for a time comprised of whatever chemicals went into the manufacture of glass a hundred years ago for us all to breathe.  I’m sure we’ll be fine!

We got all sorts of great material yesterday.  All we’re getting are little scenes here and there that either clarify a story point or repair a production lapse on my part the first time around, for instance close-ups with the wrong eyeline and zzzzzzzzz.  Anyway I’ve gone from cautiously optimistic to dangerously overconfident, because the new stuff is turning out really well.

More tomorrow…

Additional shooting day 1

Today was the first of four days of additional shooting for GWBG2012.  Everyone kept saying “can you believe it’s been a year…” and I would bristle and correct them that it had only been ten and a half months.  But yes, there’s no excuse for taking this long to finish a little drag movie.

It was a lot of fun, all of us together again.  We never had a wrap party because we’re really cheap there aren’t enough of us to fill a party.  Also:  Not all of us were back together.  Some of our old crew got jobs (whatever those are) since last time.   And there are no Coco scenes in the new material, so Clinton wasn’t here either.  

Clinton did however record the new GWBG theme song with Jeffrey and Jack over at the composer’s studio this evening, so no one was completely left out.

The scenes themselves were fun, but unfortunately no one was accidentally killed so there’s not much to report.  Or maybe there were interesting stories unfolding all around me and I’m just a really bad blogger.  I don’t really know what to look for.  It’s a weird experience making these films.  I wake up and make coffee and do my little routines and then suddenly a small horde descends on my place.  You can’t beat the convenience, if nothing else.  And I don’t know if it’s because it’s in my home and with my friends that it feels so little like “real” work.  I do know this:  I may or may not be good for much in the larger scheme of things, but I am good at directing “Girls Will Be Girls” films.  And I feel lucky to now and then have that opportunity.
