If you work at an office every day, you usually have enough varied clean and pressed outfits to make it through the week, without repeats, right? If you are an actress with auditions and shoots, playing a continuum of characters - well, in my case, a bunch of Latina grannies - you still need to look suitable each day for auditions and/or shoots. So far, so good. I have pulled this off. And, I am a woman who hates to iron! My laundry room looks like a hoarder's den. A couple of weeks ago, I sorted The Unironed into tall white garbage bags, based on clothing color. This is superior to the basic piles on top of the dryer, no? Need me in white? In purple? I know where to go. Need me in blue? Yoo-hoo! Got it in the bag.
However, the week ahead looks a bit dicey. I only have so many pressed cotton blouses with no patterns (not problematic to camera lens), in flattering hues, and not many dresses, and hardly any skirts, and an assortment of black slacks that wardrobe departments don't seem to want this time.
I need the perfect outfit for Monday's audition for a commercial, the ideal assortment of lifestyle clothes and shoes for Tuesday's infomercial shoot, and the outfits my client and I discussed for two or three scenes to be covered on Wednesday. Yikes! I realized tonight that I - a lifelong clotheshorse - may finally have run out of stuff to wear. So, I wrote to my friend and neighbor, a woman of exquisite taste, who is in my size and age range. I hope she comes through and can lend me a few items to mix and match before the weekend is up.
