I kind of wish we lived on the West Coast of the United States. See, my daughter wants to be one of two things when she grows up: a teacher or a star. And no, I don’t mean the kind of star that shines in the night (as long as you don’t live in a polluted area that is). She wants to be a star on television.
Well, a friend of mine pointed out a place that exists on the West Coast called Gonnabe. That’s a quick little Hollywood Reporter article that mentions it. Since I don’t have “connections,” Gonnabe sounds like something that would come in handy if I knew my daughter really wanted to be a star. After all, she really wanted to be a puppy when she was younger, but she doesn’t want to be that now.
I guess that everyone would want to be a star. Come to think of it, I’d like to be a star myself. Too bad I’m too old for Gonnabe. Hmmm. Maybe if I shave and lock myself in a freezer for a few days so I can shrink. Maybe I’d be able to do it then? Nah. I’ll stick to hiding on this side of the screen.
Seriously, keep your eyes and ears open for this one when it arrives. Supposedly there’s a chance they’ll start working with kids throughout the United States. So if your own daughter or son wants to be a star, they just might get their shot.

I have a daughter (age 22) who has been doing a few modeling jobs and getting more and more offers for them. I haven’t decided what to think about it, exactly, for sure. But she’s level-headed and hasn’t taken it too seriously up to this point.

Have you ever met a stage mom and their child. It’s not pretty. Pay $500 to a modeling school and 3 months later the child will be in an L.L. Beane catalog. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes not.

@Andy - Nah. I like her fine the way she is.
@book_it and turnip - I’ve never been a fan of stage/pageant parents. I would hope I wouldn’t become like one. However, if she decides she wants to try something like that, I’ll do my best to help her. Hard to decide what you want to be if you don’t try the things you like. If I start posting posts about the best make-up artists and the like for children, feel free to yell at me.
@Mike - Glad to have you!

My 3-year-old sone currently wants to be a firetruck. Not a firefighter, a fireTRUCK. Mind you, I’ve seen him in action and I daresay that I think he would be a pretty good one.
Follow your dreams …
