Why I adore my friend Kimmers

  • Me: okay I got an email from the director of Laura
  • Kimmers: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Me: I need help interpreting this:
  • Me: "Ashley,
  • Me: "Just a reminder about callbacks this Tuesday. Art and I have made many calls, so let's hope we can get a full cast. Sorry the process has taken so long.
  • Me: "I do have a favor... since the character is very sophisticated, I'm asking all the potential "Laura's" to dress up for callbacks. You're a good actress, and you have the right look for the part, but your face comes across slightly young for the role."
  • Kimmers: did they take your picture? Did you give them one?
  • Me: no - they asked for no headshots and didn't take any pictures
  • Kimmers: What's your question?
  • Me: interpret it!
  • Kimmers: OH!
  • Me: make it mean something other than "if you don't get cast, this is probably why"
  • Kimmers: Okay this is the way I read it:
  • Kimmers: Ashley,
  • Kimmers: sorry we are so lame as to not be able to find you a suitable male lead right away
  • Kimmers: also, sorry we had to accommodate some other drama queens who are much too old for the part and missed the original casting call.
  • Kimmers: (lol)
  • Kimmers: Please don't feel weird, but we want all of the Lauras to dress up for the next call back, because you are too young and hott and will make the other women feel like grannies.
  • Kimmers: SO!
  • Kimmers: please dress up, look as mature as possible, because we are impressed with you and would like to see what you can do on stage.
  • Kimmers: Love, your admirer
  • Me: Okay, I'll accept that interpretation <3
