Ghost Shark and Lavalantula are both classics. But you can’t go wrong with the Sharknado franchise.

Are they related to shark boy and lava girl?

Hasn’t most of your complaining been about how people won’t see you or you fail at auditions? Sounds like you got an undeserved ego. 

I’m just having a rough year. 

[itsjessesaintjames]

tripplectheartist​:

They are somehow both overly serious, and peak comedy.

Interesting, any recs?

[itsjessesaintjames]

tripplectheartist​:

I mean, I could. It depends on your opinion of terrible science fiction movies.

I don’t really watch them. 

[itsjessesaintjames]

madmaxanders​:

You’re just full of bad luck, dude. 

I’m Just too good at everything, it messes up the ratio of most things

[itsjessesaintjames]

Someone entertain me? I had to wait in line at an audition all day for the director to get sick at the end and cancel, so I never even got seen.

[itsjessesaintjames]

tripplectheartist​:

In a good day sorta way, or a bad day sorta way? 

bad - ish.  I kind of loathe dance calls.

The father of one of my kids told me in an email that he is going to do everything in his power to get me fired. 

I’m sorry, I know you like your job, so --- what did you do?

[itsjessesaintjames]

agentbas​:

You sound like you’re having a rough day. 

I just really hate group cattle call auditions.  a 6′5 tenor almost grande jete’d into my head

[mrmasoncmccarthy]

So like…is 24 too young for a midlife crisis? Or does everyone go through this much doubt?

[itsjessesaintjames]

gliter glue weighing ya down?

[itsjessesaintjames]

I am ready for today to be done, glass of whiskey is in hand.

Unfortunately his suspicions seemed to be confirmed by the other’s words - the man hadn’t really gotten much in the way of roles. To think this man got passed up over… A cornbread musical, well that didn’t seem to fit things right in his mind. “I do hope you end up reaching higher. You’ve got quite a lot of star quality, darling,” Ash was quick to compliment. In the back of his mind he was considering perhaps helping the man out in some way - whether that be wardrobe or makeup. If not to propel the man forward, but to also perhaps buy some extra time. 

“ I mean, i hope to star on a TV Show, or -- maybe get on Broadway.” he said, obviously slightly annoyed his. break hadn’t quite happened yet.   He smiled softly, eyes  fixing on his counterpart for a moment as he took a sip from his mug.  “ And that’s why you like doing my makeup?” he chuckled.

“Occasionally you do have a partner, but oftentimes you’re left alone at a bar or nightclub. Sometimes you’re so lucky as to be the only queen on stage.” The latter was a much more rare instance, but he had a handful of showings where it was just him. As Jesse went on again about his acting chops Ash had managed to pick up something - he had a lot of endeavors that either didn‘t seem too… spectacular, or didn’t end up going through. It was a shame, really, since Jesse did seem to have the charm and look to capture an audience. Teeth teasing at his bottom lip he set his drink down and rested a hand on the table, tapping it as he caught eyes with the other. “Tell me about your biggest role,“ he asked the other, wanting to see how far he’d gotten. 

“ I hate sharing the spotlight, so --- I can see where that’s coming from.” He laughed a little, leaning forward.  “ oh? I did a pilot for a show about a bunch of 20 something pansexuals in Des Moinds, it never got picked up, but, it had potential, I was the lead” he nodded.  “ I also did Will Parker in Oklahoma in a pretty big Boston regional theatre a few season back, we almost transferred to Broadway, but the one that feeds the audience cornbread got selected instead.” He shrugged.

Well that added a layer of intrigue. A lot of men he met got to Drag Race and stopped there - many didn’t bother to give a queen a passing glance past her season. As he gave a quiet thank you to the barista that provided his drink he then turned his attention back to Jesse, a bit of a warm smile showing on his lips. “For one, you just earned a point,” Ash half-teased, taking a sip from his drink and setting it down on the table. “For two - when it comes to costume changes we actually take a lot of inspiration from magicians and circus performers. Depends on how lavish you want to be.”

“I mean, I love good internet funnies as much as the next guy, “ He looked back up at Ashley for a second before pulling his mug up to his lips and taking a long sip, eyes still looking at him. “ I respect that. I mean --- usually in a musical, a quick change comes with the help of a crew mate, I’m sure nightclubs and bars don’t have the luxury.” he commented, setting his mug down. “but I can appreciate a costumed spectacle.... I mean, I did do the out of town tryout for the illfated Beach Boys musical a couple years back.”

Movie magic it certainly was, but he couldn’t help but feel as if it was partly ruined for him. His nose curled slightly at the thought of stepping in a mush of half-cooked instant potatoes - the mere thought of that being enough to quell any possible lingering desire of movie stardom. “Well, I will never be able to see a movie and not think of mashed potato snowballs again,” Ashley laughed, though he couldn’t be too wigged out. “I suppose if I gave drag secrets, though, I could garner a similar reaction.”

“Drag secrets? I do watch Uuuuhhhh with Trixie and Katya, or I’m a little familiar, but --- how much could you be hiding?” He leaned forward, as the cup was set before him, taking a sip.

“I would hope they’d accommodate for your allergies,“ Ash said in a half-tease, though part of him was serious about that. It seemed as if Jesse’s allergies weren’t too severe, but either way it seemed right to not trigger any reaction. At the mention of suds in the place of snow Ash arched a brow, that coming off a bit surprising to him. “I’d assumed it was fake, but suds?“ he said a bit incredulously. In his mind it was some sort of powder or plastic. 

“ Well, I’m fine, as long as I’m not like --- in an inclosed space with a fresh, smell tree. Even then I’m not dying, it’s sniffles.” he laughed a little, running his hands through his hair.  “Yeah, they have men come around in suits with this thing that looks like a vacuum, and it spits out supper dense foam suds.” he chuckled, “if you need it too be stepped in? instant masked potatoes, half prepared.” he added.  “Magic, at it’s best.”

Ash made his way easily to the place the other man pointed out, once again opening up the door and allowing the other to follow him. He ordered himself a Chai latte as that’d be much more what he was used to, afterwards turning his attention back to Jesse. “I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a sucker for cheesy holiday fare,” he chuckled. That more meant stuff such as Love, Actually and the various Rankin-Bass holiday specials, but if Jesse was in a few of these Hallmark movies perhaps he could give them a try.

Jesse ordered his own chai and took a seat, sinking into a cozy booth and letting out a happy sigh. “ I love holidays. There’s some thing a little cheesy and a little magical. I just wish I wasn’t allergic to pine.” he laughed a little.  “Luckily, for filming, it’s all fake, did you know the snow is like tightly packed suds?”
