Helena settled into the booth at Utopia, the newest and hottest club on Sunset Avenue. She adjusted her long, wavy brown hair and adjusted her dress to ensure no panty flashes would occur tonight. Seconds later, Jill slid in next to her. Jill was a total Blake Lively look-alike, with her beach blonde looks and long, slender body. Jill had quite the career herself, she turned was to only be a one episode stint on "Modern Family" into a series regular role playing Mitch and Cam's crazy nanny. They ordered their drinks and Jill sighed. "So, are you really going to that audition tomorrow?"
"I guess so. Maxwell thinks it would be a really good idea, especially since this Seth guy is apparently the hottest name in movies right now." Maxwell was Helena's agent and had yet to steer her wrong. He respected her wish to be a serious actress and didn't sell her out. Their relationship was one Helena really valued, but she still wasn't sure about this whole MacFarlane movie.
"It's true, " replied Jill. "I mean, Family Guy really isn't that funny anymore, but Ted was pretty funny. Plus, that man is gorgeous. I saw him in person at the Emmys. All that money bought him a stylist and a trainer and it worked. Too bad he likes the whores, though."
The waitress came with their drinks and Helena took a sip of her gin and tonic. She had heard about Seth's reputation for liking the young party girls. Oh well, he had enough money to pay them off, right?
"Whatever. I'll go. The script is actually solid, but it does need some work. Plus, I haven't heard back about that new Scorsese movie." Helena had gone through a grueling audition process for the new Martin Scorsese movie. It was to be about brothel in Chicago where the madam running the house became a huge player in local politics right before the Great Chicago Fire. Helena had read for the part of the madam, but there was another great role as one of the prostitutes who falls in love with the male lead. It would be another item off her bucket list if she did get to work with the genius Mr. Scorsese, but after five call backs and a personal reading with Marty, she still hadn't heard anything back.
"I'd hold out for Marty. Plus, he just cast Jeremy Renner in the lead! Christ, what I would do to that man. Did you see his ass in MI:4?" Jill made the obligatory lip smack and "oh yeah" sounds. Helena laughed and the two drank. It would be an early night, as Jill had a 6AM call time in the morning. Once they finished their drinks, the girls made for the exit, after a couple of pictures with fellow club patrons. Once outside, Jill embraced Helena before getting in her car. "Call me and let me know how it went! Smack MacFarlane's ass for me and let me know if it really is that tight!" Helena laughed as she waved her off. The valet brought her car next and she slid in the driver's seat. Time for beauty rest, as tomorrow was audition day.
