The curse of Hollywood: Indentity Crisis.

I get called into a commercial audition today. Casting for "vegan - preferably with dreadlocks". Let's see if I can pull this one off.

So I am getting around for the audition; cruelty-free, mineral make up applied, locks tied like ropes into braids on each side - it is time for the clothing. And I find myself toiling over what the writer might envision a "vegan with dreadlocks" wearing. Earth mother, hippie clothes likely (of which I have none), when I realize that I am exemplifying the curse of Hollywood: Identity Crisis!

I AM a vegan with dreadlocks and instead of trying to become what I think someone's stereotype of me is, why don't I just become more of myself and ... wear precisely what a vegan with dreadlocks would wear to a commercial audition on a rainy day in Hollywood.

Life is too short to wear clothes you don't like to impress someone you don't know to get a job you don't care about to make money you don't need to buy more clothes you don't like to impress someone you don't even know.

Life is too fucking short!
