Behind the Screen

My agent called me right before the weekend asking if I could go to an audition on Monday.

“They’re looking for a pregnant woman so they can capture her silhouette. Are you in your third trimester?”

Gigs are few and far between, especially if you’re preggers. “Yep!” I answered right away.

“Check your email for more details  on what you need to wear and all that stuff.”

I proceeded to check my email and read the following:

There is NO NUDITY in this project, but you will be required to wear a body stocking.

I was a little confused. No nudity…. that’s a definite plus because that means I can do it, but a body stocking? You might as well be nude because that’s what body stockings are used for.

I called my agent back and told her that I would have to pass because of the body stocking. Couldn’t they just take a photo of my silhouette?

“No, unfortunately they want to get as clean of lines as possible.”

Just to make sure I wasn’t passing up an opportunity due to mis communication I asked her

“Is a body stocking basically being nude without really being nude?”

“Yeah, that’s what I understand.”

So i bowed out from that gig, but I was off to St. Louis to shoot the hijab style videos.

I went with my husband and daughter by plane because it was only 30 minutes versus a 5 hour drive. As we’re taking off my daughter starts to say, “Mama I have to make pee pee”. SHOOT she needed to pee, but I figured since I took her not too long ago I could just use the art of distraction.

We pulled out some toys for her, we gave her some gummy bears. But once again “Mama I have to make pee pee!”

What else could I do to hold her attention for the next 2 minutes?

“Come here sweetie let’s look out the window at the city… wow look at all those cars…..”

All of a sudden I feel something really warm start pouring down my legs. I couldn’t figure if my water just broke or if OH NO she just pee’d on me! That’s when she looked up with her melt-your -heart kind of smiles and sheepishly said, “I pee pee’d on you mama.”

I quickly pick her up and throw her to my husband and ask him to take her and change her (luckily I brought everything on board).

The big dilemma though was what I was going to do. By chance there was a blanket on my chair when I sat down that  I hadn’t bothered to move, so it was soaking up some of the pee. But my pants were drenched. If I got up people would totally notice. Although my shirt was a little long, there was no hiding those tell tale streaks that were puddling down my legs.

I figured that by the time I got up and tried to find some clean clothes in my suitcase we’d already be landing, so I waited until it was time to get off the plane to change. I made my husband walk directly behind me and thankfully the bathroom was right outside the gate.

Anyone else wanna share some embarassing moments? :)
