Since coming home from their honeymoon Danielle and Londyn have turned their energy back towards their careers. What energy is leftover after...their romantic interludes. Londyn secured her biggest role to date, in a big screen adaptation of The Urbz. When she arrived at the studio she had the first opportunity to properly thank Venessa for officiating her wedding.
"Thank you so much Venessa for officiating my wedding! You did a magnificent job, albeit, a bit unorthodox." Londyn told her as she wrapped Venessa in a friendly embrace. Venessa had a little something for Londyn too. "You are welcome. You and Danielle are such a lovely couple and you're very lucky to have found each other." Venessa said as she clung on to Londyn so she could whisper a confession in her friends ear. "I have to come clean with you, Londyn. You know how...nervous and flustered I was.." https://i.imgur.com/3uFU8hn.png
Londyn stepped back and started to laugh at the memory of Venessa flubbing her lines and generally causing merry chaos. "Yeah, girl, I have never seen you like that. You are a consummate pro and always so pulled together, so what in the world happened?"
"Well", Venessa said, drawing out the moment a bit, "you know how I love to do comedies..."
"You didn't...," Londyn said and paused as the light bulb came on over her head.
"Yeah I did. I thought you two would be nervous as heck, so I'd lighten the mood a bit." Venessa said. "I wasn't going to push it so far that it ruined your big day. I was watching your faces and reading your body language. I did get worried I had gone too far when you whispered to me that you had never seen like that. I trust since you two didn't tear me limb from limb afterwards you weren't upset?" https://i.imgur.com/wvHssRq.png
Londyn smiled and shook her head at Venessa pulling off that gag, and she and Danielle, and frankly the guests, were none the wiser. "No 'Nessa, we weren't upset at all. We were too busy falling deeper in love with each other and trying not to explode at the sheer joy of knowing we were sealing our love forever. I can honestly say every guest we talked to afterwards thought you were absolutely charming, funny, and a perfect choice. It was so nice talking to again dear, but I have to get to makeup and wardrobe pronto."
Londyn's trip through makeup and wardrobe was just that, totally trippy. By the time they were done with her, she was barely recognizable. https://i.imgur.com/SCbQFak.png https://i.imgur.com/VZZbGXJ.png She had seen other actors transform themselves dramatically for roles, but she wasn't sure that was for her. Londyn is at least ready to consider it after seeing what a difference a bit of hair and makeup can really do. But it is nice to go back to looking like herself when it's all over.
Like her friend, Londyn is feeling the spirit move her to do comedies. Who knows, one day she and Venessa can do a few comedies together. Everyone says Londyn has a natural feel for the timing needed to deliver a line, or pull a face, that leaves the audience on the floor in gales of laughter. https://i.imgur.com/vQz2Qf5.png https://i.imgur.com/q2XyDib.png
As a former Salty Suds Spokesmodel, Londyn's mop handling skills are finely honed. https://i.imgur.com/c50OBDp.png
Earlier... For all her confidence and composure, after reading the script with Danielle, Londyn knew there was one scene where she was going to struggle with her emotions. This was going to be her first on screen kiss since she had met and fallen in love with Danielle. Despite Danielle's assurances, Londyn still felt a bit uneasy.
"I'm not jealous of the actors or actresses you may have romantic scenes with. It's just part of the job, and I know your heart. You'll see, you won't freeze when the time comes." https://i.imgur.com/VqhsYuz.png
"You look rattled. Are you ok?"
"This is my first romantic scene since I met my wife and I'm feeling nervous. I feel queasy about kissing anybody as passionately as this script is calling for."
"It's ok. I went through the same thing once. I just closed my eyes and pictured my hubby and afterwards I realized it was no big thing. If it helps, pretend I'm not me."https://i.imgur.com/SQSYcIh.png
"Action!"
"Remember what I said. You're not kissing me. When you make your move you won't see me, your eyes will see your wife instead." https://i.imgur.com/QXDCaLw.png https://i.imgur.com/PXukNv5.png https://i.imgur.com/1bp3Lf3.png
"Thank you Yessnia! Your advice worked perfectly"
"You've done a fantastic job throughout this entire movie Londyn. Take it from someone who's been around awhile and seen a lot of stars. You, young lady, are going to be a star too. Now get out of here and go see your wife. I know you're dying too if that kiss was anything to judge by." https://i.imgur.com/MTNxONB.png
