Behaved Myself
So, the other night I was doing a casting session for a short I’ll be shooting next week. I spent 3 hours talking to 14 different women. It was fun but it was also surprisingly exhausting. By the end of the night I was damn near dead on my feet.
Anyway, during casting, I had two instances of having to bite my tongue. I’m a pervert. This is a known quantity. So, when I was sitting across from one actress with significant, though I suspect fake, cleavage and she said “Also, I’m okay with nudity” I had to try hard not to say “I see, can you show me?” I am a simple minded young man.
Then, probably two interviews later, a tall young woman enters in a long coat. She explains she can take off the coat but all she’s wearing underneath are a bra and shorts, because she spilled on herself earlier. I sat there silently reminding myself “Don’t say ‘I’m afraid you’ll need to remove the coat.’ Don’t say ‘I’m afraid you’ll need to remove the coat.’ Don’t say ‘I’m afraid you’ll need to remove the coat.’”
I get probably an undeserved sense of pride in myself when I don’t let the voice in my head say the things likely to get me slapped. I did it twice, while tired, and in two tempting situations back to back (nearly).
By the way, I didn’t go with either actress for my short.
