Melissa Shoots Once Upon A Diner

Before the mad holiday rush, I was able to work on a project. I played Susan in the film Once Upon A Diner. The film was shot on location in Long Beach, CA. My character is getting a hair cut at the salon when her hairdresser dashes out. With her salon cape on, wet hair and half her hair cut, Susan begins searching for her hairdresser in the local strip mall. While on the hunt she runs into an old fling outside the neighboring diner. The scene was fun to shoot because I got to wear a wig. Between takes people watching kept asking me if I cut my own hair for the movie! A lot of people thought the wig was my real hair including some of the crew. To make the hair look wet my wig was sprayed constantly with glycerin to give it that special saturated soaked look. I can't wait to see the scenes cut and edited. The film was directed by Ellie Salama. More news to come about this project.

Happy Holidays to you! Health and Wealth in 2010. I celebrated a birthday the day after Christmas... so since Thanksgiving this holiday season has been jam packed with more trips, family, gifts, TX snow, love and laughter then EVER before! And I wouldn't have it any other way! (Last year I was doing a show and was unable to travel home for the holidays so this year being with the family was special.) Out with 2009 and in with 2010. I have a feeling that this year is going to be one of the best!
