A long time coming

So, as we all know it has been a while since I last blogged. Life got really busy and hectic and I let it slide. But I am back and plan to stay.

So much has happened over the last year that I will have a hard time knowing where to start. I will focus mainly on the projects I am currently working on.

Back in December I was selected to be a part of a web series competition on how to be a lingerie model. Yesterday I did my first lingerie photo shoot. It was a lot of fun and a bit crazy to see how much my appearance can change based on hair and makeup. Being a model seems, to an outside,r to be a simple job: show up get your hair and makeup done, get some pictures taken, and bam you are done. I am here to tell you there is a lot more that goes into it than that. Try having a group of people telling you to tense your muscles and suck in so you look better, but to look completely relaxed in the face...not as easy as it seems. This was my first paid modeling gig, so I suppose now I am technically a professional model as well as actress!

Side note, I also did a fashion students runway show back in December...fun fun fun!

I have also created a web series with my friend Caitlin that will be airing in September, it is about dating in LA...which is crazy. All of the episodes are based on true stories...stayed tuned for this one, it will be awesome! We just submitted all the paper work to SAG and should be getting our Taft Hartley contracts here in the next month. Then Alissa will be SAG-e!

I am also in pre-production for three other short films. I have meaty parts in all, and they are all very different characters. I am stoked to be working on all of these projects.

I figure why wait for someone to provide me with the opportunities when I can create work for myself.

I will be keeping you updated on all projects as they move along, and hope to have your support while I climb the ranks in Hollywood!
