I have reached a man in Florida

So, I appeared in a commercial for Oust Deodorizing Candles last year. After nearly 30 years of auditioning (I started as a wee child) I finally landed a national spot. Not only that, but I was the "spokesperson." It was a 30 second spot, all me, in my kitchen, completely improvised. It ran for 6 months, paid me lots of money and enabled me to qualify for SAG health insurance for my entire family for 18 months. JACKPOT! Tonight, while browsing the internet looking for a this commercial online (to post to my website) a ran across a fellow blogger, who had blogged about... me! A man I never met. A single Dad from Florida, according to his profile, who works in web design and loves to organize stuff. Here is his "review" of my little commercial:


Oust commercial

I just saw a commercial for "oust" candles. The woman is in the kitchen cooking and complains that the odor from cooking fills the house and creeps into the kids rooms. So, she uses the oust candles to absorbe the odor from her cooking. If I could make a suggestion, maybe she doesn't need candles as much as cooking lessons. If your cooking smells so bad that you have to mask the odor with candles, maybe you should go out to eat. Seriously, I guess these kids never walk in and say, "Mmmm, what are you cooking". Instead they are saying, "Oh God, Mom, you need more candles. I'm going to a friends house for dinner".

Very, very funny. I love that I was able to rile up total stranger on the other side of the country. I hope I get the opportunity to do it again.
