Representin'

I have always known that Sophie can be a ham, but it wasn't until last season that I noticed that Sophie was being picture picked more often than usual.  That's when I realized that I wasn't the only one who thought that she was "cute", so I decided that I would get her an agent.  (Plus, she can be a diva sometimes and it would nice to get paid to have to deal with it).  After weeks of getting back into the swing of things after the holidays, I finally mailed three and e-mailed one submission to various talent agencies that represented my friends' kids or that were recommended by actor friends.  I heard back almost immediately from the e-mailed submission and scheduled an interview with them for the following week.  Two days later, I received an e-mail with an attached contract from a smaller, privately-owned talent agency.  Needless to say, I was ecstatic about the opportunities that Sophie had to get into the entertainment industry.  

Finally, the day of the interview, I dressed Sophie in one of her nicer dresses and we headed to West LA to meet the agent.  After being asked some questions (most of which she answered "I don't know), Sophie recited a memorized line, read a few lines to show off her reading skills, and even sang "Do you want to build a snowman" from the movie "Frozen".  I personally thought the interview went alright, but apparently the agent saw some potential and basically said that she would represent Sophie if I decided to go with their agency.  SCORE!  :)

Tonight for my night out, I meant my friend Lara at a new restaurant called Taberna Arros y Vi, which Trung had seen before and has always wanted to go.  We took advantage of Happy Hour and the Dine LA menu and were completely stuffed by the end of the meal.
