a brush with fame

Work was very eventful yesterday. About a year or two ago there was a movie that was being filmed next to my workplace called "The Kingdom". The movie starred Jennifer Garner and I, along with some of my co-workers, actually got to see her (others saw Ben Affleck...I did not). At the time I didn't ever carry my camera around like I do now, so I never got any proof of this exciting event. However, yesterday another movie was being filmed next to my work again (mind you, we moved to a new location since the last filming...so these people seriously follow us around just to shoot movies). This movie will be called "Middle Men" and stars Luke Wilson. It is apparently a movie about an average guy who decides to try his luck in the porn business. Classic right? So I got out the camera to document some of the fun that took place outside my office window (don't mind the blinds in every picture):

The "Star Waggons" parked in front of my window. Didn't see any stars coming out of them...
The camera man
Some random men who liked to hang out by the window, smoking pack after pack of cigarettes
Just some of the slutty girls I saw
I can only assume this guy is a pimp
More sluts
Mmmm...DADDY!!!
Does this extremely skimpy outfit make my chest look big?The wardrobe off set (notice the french maid costume)

And those are just some of the pictures I took. At the end of the day my co-worker Lisa and I decided to approach the wardrobe trailer. Lisa bravely asked if we could just come on in, and they let us! So I got to see some of the behind the scenes fun that goes along with making a movie. It was exciting!

So besides the half naked men, half naked women and trailers lining the street, that is the extent of my brush with fame. No Luke Wilson...

I don't know what to think when you say "you got to see a lot of the behind the scenes stuff" of some porno movie!! hope you didn't see too much!! Just kidding...that is pretty exciting....maybe it's a sign that you should look into acting:)

That Lisa girl must be the bravest, nicest, prettiest, skinniest, funniest, smartest person in the whole world. Imagine being so brave to drag you up and into the wardrobe trailer... what an opportunity! And to think you had your camera in there, with you, and you DIDN'T SNAP A PICTURE!!!! Boggles the mind. Next year when we move to our NEW building and the movie people follow us again, I am going to get us into the hair and make up trailer. Watch me.
Love your guts,
Lisa B.
