​

There was a knock on Lola's bedroom door. Her heart jumped, and she dropped the script she was studying on the floor in surprise. "Honey, may I come in?" her mother's voice rang. Lola tried not to roll her eyes as the knob twisted and Julia let herself in. Boundaries weren't a thing in this family. "One, it's 7:30 am, and your call time is at 9, so you best be getting ready," Julia paused, noticing the script, "Have you even slept?" she asked with a sigh.


"Briefly," Lola replied cheerfully. She had been up since six, reading and rereading the third quarter of the season one finale over and over again. That was what they were filming today. It was a winter formal scene, and a scandalous one at that--nothing less for the soon-t0-be huge teen drama Lush. Lola's character, Amber, gets to walk in on her drugged-up best friend, Spencer, trying to put the moves on her boyfriend, Jay. It would be fun to film, considering she was Sierra--who plays Spencer--got along surprisingly well in real life. Acting was entertaining, even for the actors sometimes.


Julia sighed and ignored her daughter's nonchalance about her dedication to her craft. Lola was the newest to acting out of everybody in the main cast. "Secondly," her mother went on, "This came for you, from Pink." Julia placed a huge box on Lola's purple duvet. The packaging was hot pink and tied with a black satin bow. "Go on, open it," Julia urged, excited to see what the brand had sent her.


Lola took one of her unpolished fingernails and slit open the box. Inside was a plethora of Victoria's Secret Pink items, as well as a hand-written note from the head of the company, that said how she was looking forward to the premiere of Lush. Lola fingered the fabric of a pair of velvet lounge pants. They would be perfect for call times.


She knew enough about Hollywood to know that free stuff was a frequent thing when you were famous. Lola thought it was funny, because you're bringing in a huge paycheck just to have complimentary clothing, beauty products, gourmet food, and more sent to your doorstep. Of course, she knew that there were ulterior motives. The brands sent you the stuff so you would wear or use it in public, and talk about in it interviews, thus giving them affirmed publicity.


"I'm gonna get dressed," she told her mother, watching Julia leave the room carrying a turquoise tank top she swiped from the box when she thought Lola wasn't looking. Mrs. Sharpe was a publicist, and she loved free crap almost as much as celebrities. Sure, she may feed off of her clients, but Lola didn't mind sharing the wealth. She took a quick shower and wrapped her hair in a towel to dry while she pulled on the velvet pants, along with a pink sweatshirt that also came in the box.

She unwrapped her long blonde hair from the towel, pleased that it was half-dry already. After slipping into her favorite leopard print Toms--perfect for traveling--and grabbing her black fringed purse, she headed downstairs. Her father, Gregory Sharpe, was already on the phone with a client. He worked as a plastic surgeon, in fact, the best on in Los Angeles. Sam, Lola's assistant, was already there, waiting with her usual huge iced latte from Starbucks.


"You're a lifesaver, Sammy," Lola kissed her assistant good morning on the cheek. It took a while getting used to having an assistant, but Julia had insisted. Still, Sam was cool. She was in her early thirties and had a stylish black pixie cut and a nose ring. She also wasn't afraid to stand up to big bad Julia Sharpe--much to her mother's dismay.


"All set? I've got a scone for you in the car," Sammy said with a slight smile, not looking up from her ever-present Blackberry.


"Carbs!" Julia warned, reemerging in that turquoise tank top that made her old-people veins more prominent than ever. Both Sam and Lola ignored the comment and headed out to the Escalade. Lola thought it was ridiculous that she needed a bullet-proof, window-tinted SUV to travel around in--the show hadn't even premiered yet!--but it was the one thing that Sam and Julia agreed on.


After sitting through 30 minutes of traffic despite the fact that set was only ten minutes away, Lola and Sam arrived. They immediately walked towards the trailer Lola shared with Kelsey, who played Isabel on the show. "You're early!" Marina exclaimed in glee. She was the makeup artist for her and Kelsey, and one of the happiest people Lola had ever met. Since they were filming the dance today, hair and makeup would take a little more than usual.


Sam disappeared into the back of the trailer before coming back out with a garment bag. She unzipped it to reveal the dress that Lola would be wearing. It wasn't exactly her taste--a bit too revealing--but it was perfect for Amber.

Harry walked in. He was the very flamboyantly gay hair stylist that Lola and Kelsey also shared. "Let's make some magic!" he exclaimed, seating Lola down in her chair and getting to work on a soft wavy half-up half-down hairdo while Marina busted out the glittery makeup products. She hoped Kelsey would show up soon, that way she didn't have two people hovering at once for much longer. After filming finished, she was done until 8 pm. Then, it was off to the wrap party at Andrea's. It was going to be a long day.

[Lovely Bones]

Sierra Lovett-Edwards

​

It was the day where the writers and producers of Lush reminded Sierra several times about 'being on time' because this scene is so very 'important.' Pftt, when am I ever late, honestly. She rolled her eyes at the thought of her overly insecure coworkers. With that, Sierre pushed herself up from the king size bed covered in white satin bed sheets.


She walked pass her end table and glanced over a magazine that read 'Top Talks: Gossip Inside' and to her surprise---cue the sarcasm--her face was in the corner of the cheap cover. "If you're going to make something up about me at least enlarge my picture," she mumbled under her breath as she continued to stare at the magazine. Sierra plopped down in an arm chair that was cornered by the table and begin to flip through the pages, "Let's see what they have to say this time," she mumbled once more to herself.


A knock at her opened doorway caused her scanning to come to a halt. There standing in her room was her assistant, Charles, a very sassy and influential man, around the ages of 25-29. The producers of Lush knew to give Sierra a very strong minded subordinate who can handle attitude very well because they knew if they gave her the opposite, things wouldn't work very well. Charles has put up with her shit longer than anyone else has and he's earned major respect points for that. So, Sierra doesn't try to make things to difficult for him.


"Can you believe it?--I've got a $25,000 boob job done?" Her mockery was completely obvious. She scoffed and closed the magazine shut while throwing it on the bed. Sierra looked down at her chest and back up at Charles, "I can say they didn't do a very good job." Her statement caused a laugh out of the both of them. "Alright, Charles, let's get this shitshow on the road."


Sierra grabbed her handbag as she walked out of the front door, allowing Charles to follow behind. She plopped down in the front seat of her cherry red charger and awaited for Charles to make his way to the driver's seat.


The traffic was horrible but they made it to the set in one piece. Once they were inside the trailer that was shared between her and Andrea, Sierra glanced around the small space to see if her trailer roomie was in sight. Without any Andrea in sight, she immediately took her seat in front of the vanity mirror. Being early without Andrea, gives her an advantage of getting makeup and hair done first.


"Paul, the diva has arrived," her hairdresser, Thomas, jokingly said. Sierra simply nodded her head once and narrowed her eyes. Her costume for the scene was hanging up on the nearby rack. She turned her head to face the mirror once again as she watched Paul take off in the reflection. "So for this scene, we're going to make your in really tight curls and pin a little of it up." Sierra rolled her eyes and smacked her lips together, "What's new, Thomas." Her hairdresser laughed at her comment and assured her it would be totally 'fab' like always.


Her makeup artist, Paul, came back to the area he was standing before except this time he was holding a very large train case makeup caboodle. He reached inside and pulled out a glittery like eyeshadow, holding it up for Sierra to view. "---You are not putting that shit on me." Her eyes studied the flashy eye makeup and shook her head."Besides Spencer wouldn't even wear that," she indicated. Paul frowned a bit and tried to talk Sierra into letting him apply just a 'small amount'. Finally Sierra agreed to it but demanded to blend it in with a dark eye makeup. She threw up her usual hand gesture in a way to say 'ok get out of my face'.

​

(I hope I got the character down, I can't wait to write for Spencer though haha xD )

Andrea Malone




​

Andrea set down her script and rolled her eyes, she hoped that for the spiked punch they would at least really spike it. She was definitely up for that, and if the press asked about it, she'd tell them. Andrea was never one for that, 'Oh yeah everything is fake and we all get along' bullshit. There were obviously a lot of conflict between her and other cast members, mainly because Andrea hated fake people and was a complete stoner.


The brunette slowly got up and took a shower, remembering that she had to get to set soon so they could shoot the first bit of the finale. She wrapped her hair up and brushed her teeth, getting all of her daily things done before grabbing a little on-road snack for the traffic.


There was a loud rattle on the door of her bedroom, and Andrea jumped a bit, watching as her stubborn assistant pushed through the door. "Andrea we got to get you on set, so get up." "You f*ckwad I was getting ready!" "I know and you're taking too long, put a robe of for Christ's sake I want to get there soon so they can fix your face!" He said hurriedly, throwing a robe at Andrea and walking outside. "If you're not outside in 3 minutes I'm dragging you out!" "Fine." Andrea groaned.


Once Andrea was ready in her usual clothes, she walked outside and got in the passenger side of her dark blue mustang and let her assistant speed off. Traffic was a b*tch, like always, and it took almost 45 minutes to get somewhere that was only 10 minutes away. But once they were there, James, Andrea's assistant, pulled her out of the car and dragged her to the trailer, frowning when Sierra had beaten them there.


"Oh dear.. Andrea, get dressed then, we must wait until Sierra is done with her hair and makeup." James said with a groan, pacing back and forth. Andrea hesitantly grabbed her own dress off the rack and went into a changing room to change. The dress definitely didn't scream Andrea, but it screamed Natalie. Andrea though she looked horrible, or like a barbie. When she came out, James practically fangirled or.. Fanboyed at her outfit. "Honey if I weren't gay I'd be all over you right now!" He said, is personality changing into the flamboyant gay that he was when Natalie was around.

Nicholas Ericson




​

Nick swam to the deep end. He treaded water behind him and went at a distance speed. Once he reached the other end of the pool, 12 feet deep. He balanced himself on the side of the pool and smiled. He shook his wet hair once not like a dog would. He looked out to the other end of the pool. He had swam all the way from that end to this one. Which wasn't much of an accomplishment since he had done it plenty of times but he did remember a time when he was too afraid to swim all the way across. He was eight so that was forever ago. Nick was just getting ready to make another trip across the pool, when the sound of his mothers heels came toward him. He looked over and saw his mother making her way to where he was,in their pool behind their house. She looked beautiful for a mom. Too pretty. It only made Nick's job of protecting her from thirsty some guys that much harder. She was wearing jeans and nice top that showed off just a bit of cleavage but not too much. Her long, blondish hair came down her shoulders in waves. Blonde was not her natural hair color but it worked on her. She was also wearing huge sunglasses that prevented you from seeing her big brown eyes. She walked with confidence and anyone needless to say would instantly feel intimidated by her. However, the truth was Ms.Ericson was far from intimidating. She was very sweet and nice. She was also very friendly which is where Nick inherited the trait. She was a great woman to be around truly but she was very busy and often times Nick rarely saw her. Between his schedule and hers they barely ever crossed paths. Even though they lived in the same house. So when they did have time for each other they enjoyed every moment of it.


"There you are" Ms.Ericson said to her son with a smile as she removed her sunglasses. She stopped near the pool. She didn't sit. Which meant she had no intentions of staying long. Which Nick could have guessed being that she was so dressed up at 7 in the mourning. "Only my son would be found swimming this early in the mourning." She said letting out a small laugh but nothing more. She smiled and finally got to why she had come looking for him in the first place. "I'm heading out. I met this remarkable guy. He invited me out to a lovely place for breakfast." She smiled all the more happy but Nick didn't exactly smile. She had plenty of dates with plenty of guys so it wasn't a new thing. In fact it was all too normal. He hardly reacted at all. He just looked up at her and said "Oh ok." But she didn't seem to hear him. She just started speaking again as if he hadn't said anything at all. "Now you need to get cleaned up and ready so you aren't late for the shooting of the finale." She reminded him. That was something she did often but that's what most mothers did right. Continue to tell you what to do and remind you of things. However in his case it was just about things like being on time for photo shoots, and not slouch so much in interviews. "Alright." Nick said just about to take that trip across the pool like he had been planing before his mom showed up but was once again he was interrupted. Just as she began to walk off she said " Oh and I almost forgot. Isabella has made breakfast for you. So hurry before the food gets cold." She said. Then put on her sunglasses and walked back inside of their home though the back door. Nick didn't say anything back. He just started swimming. He sure did love being in the water almost as much as acting.


After swimming a few laps, Nick had gotten out of the pool,dried off, and cleaned up a bit. He had just thrown on a some clothes. There was no point in getting too dressed up. He would only change again when he got to set. Nick walked out of his room and down the hall to where the kitchen was. It smelled delicious in there. It always did tho. Thanks to Isabella who worked for the Ericson's. She cooked and cleaned. Nick didn't like it much because it was weird having others do those things for him but he had grown to love her. She was often around more than his own mother.She was a great cook to. "Food looks great. Isabella" Nick said smiling as he poked into the kitchen where Isabella was. She smiled and continued cleaning up after herself. "Thank you Nick. I hope it taste as good as it sounds" She said giggling some. Nick smirked and grabbed his plate that had already been fixed for him. Then he headed over to the couch and placed his food down on the table in front of him. He sat down and turned the TV on. He munched on his food and laughed to cartoons on TV as he waited for Amanda to show up. Amanda was his agent and had gotten him the opportunity to audition for Lush. Which he was so happy about. He fell in love with the script as soon as reading it and instantly wanted the part of Jay. Jay in a lot of ways was a lot like himself which made playing him more natural.


Amanda arrived just in time to pick him up. She was tall and slim. She was about 30 something but looked to be in her early 20s. She was the complete opposite of his mom. Much more intimidating although not quite as beautiful. She was one person you didn't want to tick off and she hated being late for anything. Her patient was thin and she took some getting use to but you learn to adjust. Although Nick still jumped at the sight of her as if he knew he had done something wrong. She was a lot worst than his mom, she was always nagging him. She hardly ever went a moment without doing so. However, whatever the matter, Nick had to admit she was great at what she did and she knew it too. "Come on. I don't want to be late." She reminded him. Nick didn't say anything. He just quickly grabbed his things and got into the Mercedes Benz that belonged to Amanda. She slid in beside him. The driver was an older man with grayish hair. He was wearing a suit and dark glasses preventing you from seeing his eyes. He looked average and blended in with people. Nick didn't know his name but it didn't matter. He didn't talk much. It wasn't his job to. He was simply just the driver.


They had gotten to set in the nick of time. The traffic didn't bother Nick much since he wasn't the one driving and he didn't care much about being late. Amanda on the other hand, well that was a different story. The ride there she was mostly occupied on her blackberry. She multitasked on the way there. Texting,checking emails, answering calls on her bluetooth, and talking Nick's head off about a movie audition. Nick had politely declined. Although she insisted that he needed to take an opportunity working on the big screen as early in his career as he could. She claimed that if he waited until he was practically glued into his character on Lush that it would be a lot harder for him to break out into the movie business later in his career.Being that so many movie goers would only see him as Jay. She said that's why actors like Dylan Sprouse will never be able to play another role and actually be succesful. He will always be simply known as Zac from Suite Life of Zac and Cody. However, despite her persistent, Nick didn't feel ready to take on movie acting at the moment. He wanted to focus on this aspect of his life, which was already extremely busy. He enjoyed Lush and wanted to see how it did before he went exploring other avenues of his career.


Amanda's driver had dropped him off and then took Amanda somewhere. She probably went to go meet with another client. Nick went to his trailer that he shared with Blake. Only to find that Blake hadn't yet arrived. Which sucked because it felt way less weird getting makeup applied when you were doing it with another dude. He told Carlo he wanted him to hold off on the make up for awhile. Then Teresa got to work on styling Nick's hair. While she did Nick went through his script. Looking over the scenes they would be shooting today. He was looking forward to shooting it. He couldn't wait to be on set. It was one of his favorite times. Maybe not all the cast got along but he got along with a few and they usually had a great time filming. Always laughing and joking around and being told to get back on task. The job was still demanding. It wasn't for everybody but Nick loved it. Once Teresa was done, he looked up into the mirror. He smiled. He did look good, he had to admit.

(I really got into this first post! LoL xD )

Kelsey McCullough

​

Kelsey wakes up that morning rather groggy. She was up late last night, making sure she had her lines down perfectly. She really loved Lush and wanted to make sure she gave best performance she could. Rolling out of her bed, she heads into the shower. After exiting, she has a bit of time to lounge around, not really doing anything. She watches some television in her bedroom and scrolls through her twitter feed. She spots a tweet of Nick's and her heart flutters. God, he was cute.. and sweet.. and just wonderful. But with the producers constantly pushing her to pursue an off screen romance with her on screen romance, it looks like it's just not in the cards for her and Nicholas. Sighing, she locks her phone and begins to get ready.


Her outfit is pretty simple, but cute.


After a nice breakfast consisting of yogurt, toast and fruits she heads out to the car. Her driver, Randal, takes the 20 minute drive out to the set. She smiles, says her thank you, and gets out. Various cast and crew members greet her as she makes her way to her trailer, the one she shared with Lola. The two weren't the best of friends but they got along and that's all the really mattered.


"Hey guys!" she called as she entered the trailer. Both Marina and Harry turned quickly, grinning at her.


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_01/tumblr_m8v63hKGLM1rv667e.gif.90b87f3079677dc78e58ba61c36ee810.gif" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="12455" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_01/tumblr_m8v63hKGLM1rv667e.gif.90b87f3079677dc78e58ba61c36ee810.gif" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Immediately, Marina starts on Kelsey's makeup while Harry continues with Lola. Kelsey's character, Isabel, wouldn't require much today, despite it being the formal episode. Isabel had made a last minute decision with her friends to go. Which also meant her outfit would be pretty simple, too.

Dominic Rhys

​

Dominic was off to the usual late start to his day. Blaming the off time wake-up on the alarm clock that didn't exist. But who really cared if he was 30 minutes off schedule. His hands ran through the disheveled mess that some people may have called 'bed head.' He slouched over the edge of his bed and slid his feet to the floor. Being that he was dressed in his flannel pant, and that only; he didn't dare to step outside. So instead, Dominic scooped up a set of dark washed Levi jeans, boot cut styling. He slid them on after removing his oh-so comfortable pajamas. His eyes readjusted to the dark dresser, as his hands felt around for a shirt to put on.


Finally, he nearly said aloud. He pulled his blue quarter length v-neck shirt out, putting it on, on top of his same-colored blue t-shirt. He looked into the mirror that stood in the corner of the room and smiled at himself. Well, hello good-lookin' he said to his self, before picking up his phone, sliding it into his front pocket as he trudged through the entire house, only remembering what he was doing when he reached the door at the front of the house.

He slid his feet into his black and white Nike Free-Runs, and jumped down the pull-out steps. He walked along until he nearly hit the car in the center of the driveway. Instead of having a chauffeur, and a fancy sports car; he insisted on driving himself, sometimes, in his red Sierra GMC. Dominic found it relaxing at times to be in a truck, and not a sports car. However, he was a huge car guy, and owned his baby; a 2010 SS Chevy Camaro, and a Audi R10 TDI. Those were two of his most prized possessions.

It took about twenty minutes to get to the set, which wasn't a big deal. He parked the truck and made his way over to his trailer, which he shared with Logan. Oddly enough, he was the only one in the trailer with the stylists. Dom said good morning to Lisa and Shelby, with the usual double-cheek-kiss. He gave the signature smirk, and took a seat in Lisa's chair. "What are we doing today?" He asked Lisa, looking at his own reflection in the mirror.

Lisa began to tell him of his hair-plans. which were interesting, but Dominic ended up tapping away on his phone screen. He checked his social media sites, chuckling at all the thirsty-girl comments. He gently shook his head and stuck his phone into his pocket as he waited for Lisa to begin. Dominic took the script from the table beside him and read it over. He'd been busy, memorizing his lines, which weren't all that hard for him. Today was the formal, and he was going to find out about 'Isabel's' dirty little secret. He knew that his character, Leo, wasn't going with anyone, but had hopes of going with Isabel.


(Hopefully this is okay??)

Blake Gregory





Blake woke up to the sound of his alarm clock blaring. He didn't really have to go over his script much, especially considering that fact that he helped write it. He only had to go over it once or twice. He sat up and threw a pillow at his alarm clock. He then got up from his bed and stretched as he let out a soft yawn. He then walked into his bathroom and took a quick shower and brushed his teeth. He then changed into this outfit. After all that and breakfast, he was driven to the trailer. When he arrived he got out of the car and smiled. He looked over his script once more, making sure he remembered everything.

((Hey sorry if this is pretty short. I was kind of in a rush~ ))
