It's fair to say that this week has not gone off to a good start. I'm already under a lot of stress, so blanking on something was not how I wanted to start the week off. Fortunately, I rescheduled, but it still made me feel a bit mad at myself

I'm a bit confused on your issue with finding a photographer. You get angry someone won't tell you who did her photography, yet when others offer suggestions (even using model mayhem), you seem to question if it said photographers are worth it.

I use MM all the time, and honestly, I'd avoid it as there are SO many photographers and professional models, unless you ARE a professional model its almost impossible to snag a photographer for free or a reasonable price.

Based on your posts and current situation, I would say against moving to CA until you have a large nest egg saved up. Unemployment is terrible there, and work for actors is even harder (I have a very talented friend who barely gets by out there, thus the 'starving actor' cliche).

I don't want to dash your dreams, but you should fully take into account what is, and what is possible, over what your final dream is.

I had looked up a photographer in my area using the site, but he never contacted me. I had looked over every one that DID cosplay, and so far, it was slim pickings. :(

Right now, I know it's not going to be right away that I move out. I'm only wanting to move out for better opportunities, and Chicago doesn't have anything steady regarding TV work. To be honest, I'm not sure what will happen in the next few years. I'm just really wanting to get some idea of what I need to do. I'm just glad I'm not one of those people who were impetuous and moved out as a young kid not knowing what they're getting themselves into.

Have you looked into the local community theater? I remember you doing some plays before, and honestly, it helps to get your resume' up when you intend to move ahead.

And I hate to be the downer, but you will have to lose weight and get more healthy if you intend to ever be on television. Its very cut throat (worse for women then men), and you have to take this into account as well.

I have been, but there's only two around here, and one of them is the park district, where you have to pay an activity fee. I'm not sure about the next play at the other one...I can't find their 2012-2013 season list online for the moment.

And yes, I know...I have had that same problem with theater (I don't want to get into that story), and I have been trying to overcome my depression to actually do something about it.
