Oh yeah! 2NR is movin up! Apparently someone over at the big office noticed that ImportTuner is actually THE best magazine on the stands and offered to give us a big budget. For this issue we got to experience a Hollywood-style shoot. Get the money. Blow the money. That's always a good plan.
Shooting at a Hollywood location has its advantages. We got to sit around and drink a little free beer (Thanks to those Dazz guys) and blare music like frat kids-but much cooler. The studio we rented had a pool table on an open loft overlooking the car, which seems kinda stupid now that I think about it-uncoordinated drunks with sticks, trying to keep their balls on the table while watching a model shoot.
The new shoot had some drawbacks. We had to start AFTER the 9-to-5, drive in L.A. traffic, wait a long-ass time while the studio setup the shoot and positioned a billion lights. Then we had to wait for Erin to go through five wardrobe changes before the interview. On top of all that? Cold Del Taco Burritos and fries.
It was hard to concentrate during the shoot; there were so many different procedures happening that we weren't used to. Seeing Erin out there modeling like a pro made it all worthwhile. It could have been the beer, but I doubt it.
2NR: During the shoot I noticed the tats. What's that on your back?
ELS: It's the sign of Gemini. We've got dual personalities. We're both good and bad.
2NR: Well, there's a little bit of good and bad in everyone.
ELS: I've got a little bit of evil.
2NR: Whoa! A little bit of evil? That spin-her-head-around chick had a little bit of evil in her too.
ELS: Well I could be either really really evil or really really nice. There's no in between.
2NR: You'd be an interesting date. Who doesn't love a girl that can spin her head around with a smile? How does a person get on your evil side?
ELS: Certain types of people bug me; a person that lies, someone that bullshits-you can tell when a person is just blowin' smoke.
2NR: How would you know if they've lied to you?
ELS: I was a Hooter's waitress for three years. I'm good at catching the lies.
2NR: Hooter's you say? Were you on the menu?
ELS: Most of the people ordered the wings and Bud Light. It was fun. Our job was to have a fun time with the guests. I liked that I got to sit around with all my customers, be a goofball, and they still thought I was cute.
2NR: How are you goofy?
ELS: I'll do anything. I'm a little outrageous. I'm loud, a little rambunctious.
2NR: That's big word. I understand you graduated from high school a little early.
ELS: I graduated from school at 16. At the time I thought I was a little too cool for school. So I wanted to get out as quick as possible. I took my GED and left.
