To remain blonde...or not to remain blonde...that is the question!
Hi everyone. I am a happy highlighted blonde! I enjoy being a blonde. I feel flashier, prettier, and sexier. Lately though, it seems there are some very valid reasons for me to return to my natural brown color. I sincerely need ALL of your input in helping me reach a decision.
Here are my reasons to go Brunette:
1. I currently make my living doing mostly background/extra work on film and television sets. There are 3 projects shooting in NYC that I will simply NOT be able to work on as a fake highlighted blonde. They are: Boardwalk Empire, Lowlife, and a new period movie shooting here. I hate to change my hair color for background work...but working on set, especially period pieces, is a great way to make MUCHO DINERO!
2. I can't afford to stay blonde! Not time wise and not financially. It's about $200 every other month including tip. It usually takes a huge chunk of a day which means I cannot book work the day of my appointment.
3. My roots grow out quick and my hair starts to look a little ratty after just 3 weeks.
4. I do have some older brunette headshots which I believe to be passable until this summer when I can afford to get new ones.
HERE are my reasons to remain blonde:
1. I worked a LOT last year...as my hair is now. A lot of principles are blonde and I stood in on set..often. Right now I worry that the reason I'm not working a lot is because of my hair color...but it's slow. Perhaps changing my hair will make no difference...or even worse, hinder me as it will irritate CD's that have used me as a blonde.
2. Hundreds of blonde headshots left...that I LOVE! They cost me a ton of money...and even though I have some passable brunette shots...I'll have to spend more money as soon as possible for updated shots.
3. Again, I think being a blonde helps me stand out and look different. I see a lot of brunettes at open calls but very few blondes.
It's all so very confusing!!!! Below I posted my current shots and my brunette shots that I will use if necessary. Please either facebook me, email me (Lauriebloom@hotmail.com,) or call me with your honest opinion!!! I know some of you reading this have casting experience and valid idea's of why I should go one color or another. Let me know!
