A couple of things. First an apology for the long blogging dry spell. I have somewhat of a decent excuse. I broke my arm after toppling off of an Indo Board trying to show off my extraordinary balance from years of ballet training. I had a clean break at the wrist so it was difficult to type.
Also, I switched jobs. I’m working now for a public media company and it’s been a fast-paced adjustment.
Enough about me. After all, you’re not here to read about my cast-toting adventures in public television. And I actually have news–good news in fact–on the starlet front.
Emma was called in for a Target ad not too long ago. The audition was really crowded. But she was the exact height that they wanted, so instead of zipping through the line of Ford models and leaving, they asked her to stay awhile and try on a few outfits.
Per usual, disappointment prevailed, and she was passed over.
A week later, however, we got a notice that Emma was on “immediate avail” for another Target ad. On Thursday we found out she booked it! The shoot happened the next day at an ocean-front mansion in Santa Monica. It was beautiful. We tried to snap a few pics, but our camera was confiscated and the pictures were deleted! There was some sensitivity that the clothing line hadn’t been unveiled yet. Apparently.
We managed to keep a couple of her before she changed into the clothes for the shoot. See below.
Emma had a blast. She was catered to like a fashion diva and pampered like a princess. She was ultimately paired with another boy her age, who had an impressive track record for a 10 year old model. He had a great attitude, which I really think has a lot to do with anyone’s success at that age.
At the end of the shoot, they both jumped into the pool fully clothed!
The ad comes out in late June and will be in newspaper circulars as well as online. And to think, she even got paid. Since I manage to spend half my paycheck at the store anyway on a monthly basis, I’m kind of figuring it’s a wash.
Stay tuned (I can say that now that I work in television) for more exploits in entertainment. I promise to write soon.

YAY!!! GOOOOO EMMA!!!
There will be no living next door to her now!
