NAKED TIME

Auditioned for underwear. They wanted “fit” overweight women. My fat is not fit. If it was fit, I wouldn’t be fat. But I endeavored to do my best anyway and we all know I have no shame so I walk in, strip down to my skivvies, and we chat, and she (The CD) films and then she hands me a plastic flower and asks me to do something with it. And I try, I really do, but come on! It’s a plastic flower! I’m not THAT creative! And so she asks me to do a flower dance and suddenly I am all modern dance, jazz, ballet diva and I’m having a great time and laughing and thoroughly enjoying myself and she goes, “okay! That was the best flower dance I’ve ever seen.” Ha ha. It was fun. Silly and fun. But no go on the casting front because they are looking for "fit" fat women. I know who they mean- women who look naturally plump. I carry my weight well but let's be honest- I carry it mostly around my middle and it's lumpy and floppity and in a scary competition with my back fat, back boobs anyone? anyone?
