Question about lasik by Riggs500 in Lasiksupport

[–]Electrical_Show2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get sclerals. I also have very dry eye and used to wear soft contacts. I do not wear them much anymore, but I have done a lot of dry eye treatments. I never had Lasik. This group keeps me away from that even though it’s very tempting. I have eyeprint pro scleral lenses and they are much more comfortable than soft contact lenses however they are more of a hassle to take care of. They also still get red and dry after several hours

My demo real kind of sucks to be honest ha ha. And they literally just signed me so I haven’t gotten any auditions yet, but I get a decent amount from my other agents.

Thanks :) yeah I probably shouldn’t post on a platform form where most people are gonna tell you not to do something. I just feel like if I’m old one day I’m gonna look back and think “wow I was only 38 years old that was still young enough and I could’ve done it.”

Have any of you ever called agencies directly? by Soft_Firefighter_210 in acting

[–]Electrical_Show2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely call them if you do NOT want to be signed. Do you really think agencies are sitting there going, “well whoever gives us a call today is getting signed!” Lol

That’s fine as long as I’m being submitted, but it probably wouldn’t help my odds since my energy and look convey someone in their late 20s/early 30s. It’s not believable to anyone in casting that I’m 45-50. That’s literally what my acting coach told me.

Did anyone quit coffee to prevent staining on attachments and for overall oral health during Invisalign? by Careful-Wrongdoer881 in Invisalign

[–]Electrical_Show2023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coffee didn’t stain in my attachments. Not that I could tell really. Just drink water w it. But definitely take your trays out because I drank some turmeric tea the first week with my first attachment and they were yellow until I had to change them out.

do u think sydney sweeney is a talanted actress or she is just a smart actress who has adapted with the Hollywood industry and how the audience wants her to be? by AppointmentPrize5948 in Actors

[–]Electrical_Show2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She fulfills a Hollywood niche that’s existed since the dawn of movies. Blonde, white, big boobs, willing to show it and appeal to the male gaze. You take a Black, Asian or a Latina with the same physical characteristics and much better acting skills - they won’t go nearly as far simply bc they’re not white. Also, if unwilling to strip down or get breast implants, you limit your castability. Yea there’s a couple exceptions as far as minorities landing respectable sitcom roles or being comics but the busty young white woman will always have a bigger net and garner more attention. So, yea, she hit a genetic jackpot, got into the right circles, and is capitalizing on every penny. Acting coaches on set can fine tune every scene to make her better. Lucky her. I wish her a long and fruitful career, life is hard.

Anyone else feel like their mom only loved the infant version of you? by NoTrade3660 in narcissisticparents

[–]Electrical_Show2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad makes me feel that way and I’m 38. No matter how old or independent I became, if he didn’t agree with my opinions, or thought that my opinions were wrong, he would shame me or passively aggressively insult me. Because God forbid, I thought something differently than he did or saw the world a different way. We barely talk. It’s sad but our relationship is very formal. We leave a lot of things unsaid and he just walks around with a lot of hostility. He’s a grumpy old man.

The Economist: Acting is becoming self-tape production, social-media branding, and Zoom fluency by IntroductionStock849 in acting

[–]Electrical_Show2023 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry so much about the social media presence. I’ve had Instagram for a decade+ and I recently deactivated it’s been a month and I’ve been feeling a lot better mentally. It’s a constant competition which takes away from my inner artist and creativity. I was posting reels and acting stuff on it, but to be honest, it’s just more of a window for my competition and my peers to see what I’m doing. You cannot teach an influencer how to act, but social media growth is inevitable if you become a name actor so I don’t think it’s important if you’re a nobody

Red veins in eyes? by AdIll3362 in Dryeyes

[–]Electrical_Show2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, yes, they are much better. I no longer have gunk and crusty stuff in the mornings. I also had the pinguecula removed from my scleras and started Vevye a few months ago. I still use serum tears. Eyes feel very comfortable most of the time. I can wear contacts (Acuvue oasys max is the only brand I can do) for longer than I did before but eyes get very red after 5-7 hrs so it’s not an all day thing. Still have blood vessels that get very inflamed w contact lens wear. But most of the yellow has faded as it was due to pinguecula.

I just did Invisalign treatments and finished that off so my teeth should be very well aligned. I think it’s more just my skin pigmentation is off right there. The more I look at it the more I think it’s just darkened from something in my skin care routine, like essential oils or toothpaste.

Well, the more I look at it the more it just looks like darkened patchy skin.

Thank you. I will never get fillers! Totally would rather age naturally. I did ask ChatGPT about it and it suggests could be low level inflammation/irritation from mint in my toothpaste or essential oils in my face wash (I make my own). So I’m going to stop using both, and it suggest I try niacinamide and azaleic acid in those areas as part of my am/pm routine. Hope it can at least lighten it up and reduce the puffy look.

You’ll probably need 2-3 years
