Thanks, Top, and thanks to all of you who have congratulated me. The shoot is on Thursday, January 12. I'm told it'll run all day - starting in the morning and potentially running into the wee hours of Friday morning. ... um, yeah, that's a really long time so uh I'm really hoping the vast majority of that time is spent on lighting and setting up shots and whatnot, as opposed to actual feasting for any prolonged amount of time. I am a tiny bit nervous about eating bugs, but only because I've never done that before ... though I have eaten fish eyeballs, pig intestines, chicken feet and a host of other inedible delicacies (don't ask - long story) so I'm not too concerned. It's really just mind-over-matter and I'm a master of that. Of course, on some level, it's hard to escape the fear of the unknown. If I do meet Carmine and my face is in a bucket puking at the time, I'm gonna be one mortified fangirl. :lol: I'll be in LA from Wednesday-Friday. Wish me luck!
