hey grant thanx 4 the 'fo. i don't need an agent unless i'm getting professional gigs, right? what's the deal with television series & stuff, is anything shot in perth? i think the only television made here is 'maurice meade' hair salon commercials... i don't have the discipline 2 be completely anorexic - i'm normal weight so i can't be a model - but i have the face & height for modeling, hence my interest in its sister profession - acting. i finished high school 2 yrs ago & that was the last time i did any drama. my renewed interest in performing comes from my friend mark naglazas telling me i should pursue it cos i have the looks & personality 4 it, & by my reflection in the mirror! also, i have a great ego & thick skin - 2 prerequisites 4 showbiz. unfortunately there's about 3 billion other wannabes on the planet so i won't be burning my books anytime soon... but it looks like fun & i'd like 2 give it a go. any suggestions on how 2 get started? does amateur stuff get u any exposure?
anyone know how far away melville is from the city center? which is closer 2 the city - kalamunda or melville? (don't know south of the river well).
thanx kids

Dear little Kim
Yes the attitude with this industry is superficial and based on how you look TO THOSE WHO LOOK IN FROM THE OUTSIDE. So "as far as you can tell"? You've posted a few things on this website, and that is the only bloody thing you seem to have done in this 'industry'. You show me a history of experience in the actual industry - not just playing doctors and nurses when you were young - and then you have the right to criticise thousands of people's career choices. Keep up with the English skills BTW, you seem to be only mixing the numbers and words up a little bit.

how much can u "study" 4 a career that's almost solely based on appearance? & as 4 being naive, you're kidding yourself if u think extensive dramatic training is the key 2 a showbiz career. sure, it may be very helpful, but you're dealing with an entirely superficial industry as far as i can tell...
