Comment
I'm so excited to share with you all that I've been named the new face of NKHenry Accessories! The designer is a phenomenal woman and she is fiercely talented! One of the perks of being an actress is also being asked to endorse awesome brands and products. Shooting the campaign was so fun, mostly because I really love all her designs and Nikki is just as fabulous as her designs.

"I've been a fan of Nikki's
designs for years, so I was honored to be a part of her latest collection. I
love her oversized bags to stash my scripts, shades, lip balm, make up bag, and
everything else I need while running around the city. Her clutches are the best
for my down days when I all need are the essentials," Candy says of being
the face of the new line.
Candy's favorite piece from the
collection is the Chloe clutch that comes in Spring Green, Bright Fuchsia, and
Blue, with a thick brown leather strip in the front with gold studs. "I'm
a self-taught designer, so all of my looks are truly reflective of my unique
design aesthetic. Partnering with Candy to make this collection come to life
was an amazing experience," explains designer, Nikki Henry.
Up next for Candy is modeling for
New York-based emerging jewelry designer, Baxtor Price Designs, and doing an
on-camera interview with fashion, lifestyle, and beauty expert, Lilliana
Vazquez. NKHenry's Spring collection is now available on its newly revitalized
site, start shopping here: www.nkhenry.com.

Diary of an actress #4: Secret Agent Man on Actors Who Refuse to Listen
Comment
So I just read the entry from Backstage's column, Secret Agent Man, "Actors Who Refuse to Listen", and two words came to mind: tough love. He brings up a lot of solid points, even if they are hard to hear. His column is insightful and doesn't beat around the bush, and is a must-read for any actor in the biz.
See below for an excerpt from the article:
If you're a regular reader of this column, you've probably noticed a few recurring themes over the years. The one that pops up most often is my rant about actors getting in their own way. This kind of behavior never fails to amaze me, and I see it every day. Talented people doing everything they can to not succeed. What causes this? Is it a genetic defect? The funny part is most of this behavior could be prevented if actors would just learn how to listen.
I know quite a few teachers, and they've all told me the same thing. A large part of an actor's training is learning how to clean the wax out of his or her ears. That's why when I attend a workshop I always focus on the performer who's not talking. I ask myself, "Is he in the moment, listening carefully to his partner, or is he just waiting to say his next line?" That's how you separate the wheat from the chaff.
Now here's the lesson you need to learn: Listening skills are important in all parts of your career, not just when you're performing.
I represent an actor who had some mainstream success when he was younger but has recently hit a slow patch. A few weeks ago, I scored an audition for him on a pilot about police corruption in the '50s. Think "L.A. Confidential." My client was reading for the role of a federal agent who investigates a group of dirty cops.
The thing is, this actor always has a few days' worth of facial hair. I've known the guy for years, and I've never seen him clean-shaven. Naturally, federal agents in the '50s weren't scruffy. I told him to shave for his audition so he would look right for the period, but did he listen? No, because he had a big date that night, and he wanted to look hot. So the fool got laid, but he didn't get the part. I hope she was worth it.

The moral of the story?
My key takeaway from the article is that you can't personalize feedback. When people you know, trust, and have your best interest in mind (emphasis on trust and best interest) are giving you sound advice in order to advance your career, its time to put your ego aside and take heed.
