Not Lying Down

"My feet stand on level ground; in the great assembly I will praise the LORD." Psalm 26:12

I'm not a goody two shoes but there is some subject matter I do not want to condone even if I am portraying a role. I thought I could overcome the premise of this chance script that is in my hands, but hours away from the audition I am convicted. I will miss it. Besides the fact that New York City writers are capable of cleverness over crudeness.... This is the main reason why...Honor Killings

We are a free nation with overtly gratuitous sexual liberties. (New York City shoves that envelope..The Robyn Bird Show is a network porn show with a catchy little theme song called Baby Let Me Bang Your Box that turns up at sundown.) We blatantly exploit eroticism and have slowly and seductively turned adultery into an epidemic. We have the right to engage in raw suggestiveness or bawdy relations...and it's a choice we all "get" to live with....

With that said, I am a self admitting boy crazy red-blooded flirt who adores sex as much as the next, but I cannot in good conscience for my film debut play a carnal prostitute who befriends her raper culprit and says things like whoring is just too hard on the knees.
It is not a picture I want to paint of me nor for other daughters.

Call me crazy for craving something a tad bit more cerebral in my hunt.

Would you betray your instincts to perpetuate your goal?

**Political Correctness is going to turn this entire world into a bunch of sissies.
Fried Chicken and collard greens are indeed indicative of soul food and can very well honor Black Heritage. What's the big deal?
