Wrinkle Woes and Actor's Lows.

I just saw the deepest wrinkle under my eye! How did it get there? It seems to have tripled over night! It is now similar to the grand canyon which is beautiful in real life but not on people's faces! I can't believe it. What am I going to do? I quickly applied some Nivea Q10 under-eye cream but it is still there! Do any of these creams actually work? This is very depressing. Why do we have to age? The weirdest thing about being young is that you never even notice that you don't have wrinkles so you don't appreciate your cavern-free skin. Suddenly you are hit with it from about 26 on and then it all goes downhill. Luckily, my mother looks fantastic so I shouldn't worry too much but I don't understand how this tiny wrinkle has suddenly become more obvious! Perhaps I just drunk too much wine last night. I hope so. I hope it will pop back into shape so that I continue acting. Who is going to hire a girl with a canyon on her face? I know, I know,...someone who appreciates fine acting. I get it. But we all want to look nice too.

Had coffee with my actor friend Tim today. Tim was feeling pretty depressed and was near tears for most of the conversation because he felt like he had done some terrible acting in his guest star role on a hot TV show. I asked him how I could know that what he was saying was true. Had anyone told him that he sucked? No. Had anyone responded to him weirdly? No. Had he heard people whispering 'he's terrible' as he performed? No. But he was convinced. His eyes welled with tears and he pulled his hair with his hands as he announced, in anguish, that he should quit acting. At this point I burst out laughing and did an imitation of him. 'Just look at what a cliched actor you are being', I said. Luckily he laughed too. I don't think he is really going to quit but actors are such fragile creatures and go through a moment like that pretty frequently. They never follow through with it. That is why I like them so much-they are hilarious! I guess I am like that too. Of course when I am being like that, it is deadly serious and not funny at all. I know you must be terribly concerned about my wrinkle. I better re-moisturize right now, it is deepening as I write. Arghhh!
