Astoria Life: New York Minutes

Musings from the Queen of Queens, or My 6 years of living in Queens and greater NYC, where I moved to work for the water department and ended up, among other things, traveling the world and appearing on a billboard on Times Square.

French hairstyling



A banner weekend for shoots, as today I got up, went all the way to the East Village to the Anthology Film Archives (above). There, I and several other extras were dressed up for the Cesar awards for a French film called "Red Carpet". We were in the dream sequence where the main character wins an award, and we give her a standing ovation.

Later that afternoon, I went midtown to a hair salon for another scene. I was originally not in this scene but they needed more extras, so what the hey.

I ended up being a featured extra because the main character works in a salon and needed to style someone's hair. The other guys were bald. So I played the client for the actress (Julia Faure) as she talked with all her friends and made plans to go to a jazz club.

C'est magnifique!
