Jamie from the Bronx

I am not sure most people would be excited if they were going on a video shoot in the Bronx, NY, but all I need to hear is New York to get me excited. I was working yesterday and today for a Frito-Lay shoot in the Bronx...my first time in this part of NY. It was all I had imagined it to be. Some of the best lines we got from the outgoing "neighbors:"

-You from the FBI?
-Yo, are you hiring?
-What's the movie about, dog?
-I'm an actress, where can I sign up?!

The most entertaining part of it was when we were in a bodega (small grocery store) and school had just gotten out. The kids were so enthralled by us, but little did they know it wasn't a movie; it was just a training video for Frito-Lay employees.

Of course I couldn't be in the Bronx without going into the city, so Wednesday night, my buddy from CT (who I used to work with at AvreaFoster) met me in Grand Central Station for a good seafood meal. I hadn't seen her in 1 year and 10 days so needless to say it was so good to see her, especially since she was 30 lbs. lighter. Yea Christine! We had a great meal and after she hit the train to go back home, I walked around the city by myself which I highly enjoyed (don't worry Dad, I walked with other groups of people as if I was a friend). Here are some highlights of my night:
