Dear Michelle,

I am yelling cause you always say your coming back soon and then it is a month later. Really a month later. But, you have good timing.

Here is my questions: Do you bring your cat on set? (I think you have a cat...) Also, do the other actors bring their pets on set? Do they even have any pets? Does your cat have any special talents? My dog can sit, shake paw and down. I try to get her to do my taxes and the dishes to earn her keep but she just looks at me. 

Other random questions are: What are you doing/did for Thanksgiving? What is your favorite dish? Do/did you consume so much food that you can not move on the couch? ( I know I do) Do/did you go shopping on black friday?

I love U and Marnie!(totally in a non stalking way) I cant wait til the show comes back on!

MP!

Gosh, I try not to comment so much on here cause I bother you so much on Myspace...

 

But I was wondering during a long monologue or and scene with quite a bit of dialogue, do you guys hide your "sides" anywhere? Like on a table in front of you or by the marker on the floor so you can look down at it?

Also is it difficult or awkward to have to walk so precisely to and from a marker or to remember to stay on the marker, like is there a moment when you get really into a scene and want to move around, but can't?

And does all the cameras and technical things make it harder to get into the moment? Does it take away from the real-ness of the scene? I would think it would be really hard to fall into a scene...into a character and dig up emotion with like 3 cameras on you lol

PS. Am I even using the right word? Isn't a "marker" the things they put on the floor to tell actors where to stand...like "X" shaped things???

                                                                                            

Sara Quin: what do you think of this new song...like how do you feel about it, lyrically...like if it was about us?

I have fallen in love...

I have fallen in love... with the scarf on the hanger of the coat that you're suppose to wear that you've shown on the vlog. The blue and grey one.

Do you have any idea where I can get it? I found one similar to it last winter but it got lost in my move. 

I'm such a dork, I know but.... some girls loves shoes... i love scarfs. ><

Marnie Alton

I think Marnie Alton should be gay; someone get to work on that! :)
Elizabeth's picture

Que?

Come again... Marnie Alton not gay???? You sure about that?

If she's not, well then she is one hell of an actrice. Who on the show is realy a lesbian or bisexual? 

 

Janay's picture

42%

42% is alot to work wit! She told Julie Goldman she's 42% gay now, thanx to all the lesbianism her job requires...of course she was joking but...in my gay mind....she was not....and in my gay mind...she said "100%!" lol

Extra,Extra read all about it!!

I have seen in newspaper job ads that read as so; Wanted: extras for movies/Tv. $100 per day. Is that true or how are extras chosen?  

Be a peaceful warrior!!

I have 2 questions that i am wondering about...

1) What happens to all the clothes that you wear on the set? Can you keep them?

2) Is it going to be more romantic scene's this season?

if you wanna add me on myspace-http://www.myspace.com/mysterygirl10

Ahhh MP how I missed thee!

Great vlog, love getting to see all the behind the scenes stuff... as somebody who studied media production it's pretty cool to watch :-)  So thank you for continuing to do these vlogs!

I was just wondering after you're done with shooting, how much control do you get in post production?  Only because I used to become a complete control freak in post if it was my project!  I was very protective over it and knew in my head how I wanted it to appear on screen.  But then my editing skills were pretty good once upon a time so people used to ask for my help on their stuff too which was great because it meant I could help bring their projects to life which was so exciting!

Good luck for the rest of your shooting, looking forward to seeing season 2..

I less than three you :-)

She's backkkkkkkkkkkkk!

*Does happy, snoopy dance!* Michelle Paradise oh how I've missed you! But you are absent for a good cause so I can forgive you.

Thanks again for the off site tour. Both you and Marnie looked so beautiful. I just love your big blue eyes Michelle. Oh and I think we were separated at birth because the coat incident sounds like something I'd do. I need to find a girlfriend that finds clumsiness a redeeming quality! *Blushes*

But back to you!

I actually have a question this time. When shooting episodes, do you guys schedule an entire episode to be shot in a certain time frame or do you have to break up episodes and shoot them all at different times?

I look forward to your next video blog Ms. Paradise. Oh and I'm pleased that I made you laugh with my "Oy" comment. As mentioned before, I'm not Jewish but I was channeling one that day! :-) Personally, I think I'm missing a great opportunity!

Just wandering Did you take

Just wondering Did you take your SAM-e Complete??? 

And DO you always have the Tuna???

:-)

SubtextRules's picture

I couldn't write this without giggling!

I believe Michelle told Bridget she was a vegetarian that eats fish (no pun intended). So my guess is she prefers Tuna (Oy the puns again!) Check out her BWB eppy again to confirm.
