Audition day "Excellent, that was great ladies..." Tess then whispers to Brian "what happened to all the great dancers in LA?" His response "they're all dancing with the stars, call Andre and ask him he might have somebody". They then look at everyone's pictures who had auditioned and no body took tesses eye. Until I stepped onto the stage and started dancing ignoring everything that was happening. I was in the zone. I hear tess saying "what is she doing" and then Brian having to say "I think she's auditioning" Tess then shouts "HEY DAVE CUT IT" and so I response putting myself first for once. "Hold on a second I can do this!" Tess: "and I think that it's sweet that you think you can" Me: "just tell me what your looking for!" Tess: "I'm looking for someone who can do the routine" She then starts to walk away Me: "HEY IM TALKING TO YOU". Brian: "oh shit" Me: "just tell me what you want" Tess: "I can't tell you nobody can tell you, you gotta make me believe that you belong up there that you own the stage and that nobody's gonna take it from you that's the way it works". Tess: "you wanna show me something? Show me that" Me: "....aright, what number do you want to see.i know every single one of them." Tess: "pfft you know every single one of them". Me: "I'm serious! Which one do you want to see!" Tess: "wagon wheel Watusi" I do that smile that makes everyone think I have something up my sleeve. And do I do the dance full out. Looking at their faces was funny. And so I can't stop smiling cause of how well I thought I had done. Brian: "well...I couldn't take my eyes off her..". Tess: "try harder....(staring at me) you know you were off the whole last half.." Me: COME on Tess come on! I'll practice till I bleed, I know I can do this " Tess: "you know we have better dancers" Brian: " well then say Thankyou very much and goodbye". Me: "if you just give me a chance I swear to god I won't disappoint you didn't anybody ever give you a shot In like, please I want this so bad!! If you'd just give me a chance I'd!". Tess: "all right god! You got the job". Me: "Thankyou Tess, you won't regret this". Tess: "I'm really gonna regret this". Brian: "what is Ali short for?" Me: "Alice?" Brian: "well welcome to wonderland..". I see jack cleaning up and I shout over to him saying "sorry for the short notice but...I quit!! And with my new raise I'll be off your couch in no time!! Ahh!!!". Jack looked a tiny bit upset but he had a fiancé so why should he even care that much?.
Next stage....costumes!!! As Brian takes me through the whole backstage pass, he hands me every single costume that I would need for each dance and jeez there was a lot!.

Tess and Briana Convo:while Ali is dancing with the rest of the girls on stage
Brian: "you like her, admit it, I know it kills you, but you have to admit it". Tess: "no. You know she pulls focus she dosent blend in". Brian: "a girl who dosent blend in? Oh my that is so beneath you".
As I come off stage
Brian: "how you doing?!". Me: "my boobs are pushed up to my ears, my thongs a mile up my butt and my eyelashes are so thick they could kick a stiff wind". Brian: " fun being a. girl isn't it" We both laugh. All the girls go off to pizza even tho I said I could come too after I went to the toilet they had all left... And so I was alone...backstage... Tess:" where'd everyone go?" Me: "they went out for pizza...I wasn't hungry" (I lied, I was starving). And so I stare at my face for a while and start to try put makeup on, I never ever use makeup I just rather go natural. Tess:" that brush isn't working cause it's too old". Me:" it's the only one I have". Tess: "I'll let you use mine". Me: "thanks". I then try to do the eyeliner and almost get it in my eye just until tess takes it off me and does it all for me. I whisper thanks with disappointment on my face. Tess: "first of all you gotta wet it if your gonna get a clean line, close ur eyes. When you are putting on your makeup, it's like...your an artist, but instead of painting on a convas...your painting your face. My mom was a model, she was beautiful, tall, blonde, not like me, boy that could stop a truck (she made me giggle), and she had these girlfriends beautiful girls, Colleen and Shirley and the would come over in the morning and they would all put their makeup on together before they went on jobs, we had a big window in the back of our house with a ledge on it and they would put their mirrors side by side and put out their makeup, they had lipsticks and blushes, it was fabulous. And I kept thinking my god I cannot wait till I get old enough to play with this junk, didn't you ever watch your mom put on her makeup?" Me: "my mom died when I was 7, and it's my first lesson,m...". Tess: "you know, you won't be the new girl forever"....she then stops talking and says one word "beautiful" looking at my face. And so I look in the mirror....omg I look incredible!!.
