Work Work Work

Pahala Shore is moving along. The cast have all renewed thier contracts and most of them have settled back in thier studio suites and are exploring the new location. We had to move the production due to the distractions around the set, the new location is much better and we have beefed up the security.

Most of the wardrobe is set for the season, now most of the cast members are visiting the make-up department for new looks for thier characters. Missy's look is giving us the hardest trouble. We might have to custom create her look. We want her to have soft flowing waves and curls, but on the long side (maybe shoulder-length) with platinum blond locks-like the dye Lyran's Sims specializes in. It is interesting, her storyline this season needs the most custom designed items, we have to design a nightgown for her as well this season.

The writing staff has been working overtime on the episodes for this month. They still need to be edited and sent to the studio to be aired, I can't belived that we're so behind! I had a family emergency in Italy that I left for at the beginning of this week and the staff simply slacked off! Grrr...heads will roll! Now we need to aire two episodes back to back in order to ensure that they are aired before the holidays.

Chad and Beck are not getting along too well, I don't really care what they do as long as their work is still great. It doesn't matter too much since Randy and Russel are not the best of friends, but then again, they're not exactly butting heads over a woman. I wonder where this will head. The cast dynamics have shifted a bit since Timothy is gone and Montana is here. She's a different breed and a lot of the cast members don't know too much about her, especially since she's still commuting due to her mini-series.

I want to start filming more episodes before things get hetic here, I'm moving again. Actually I'm buying a quadplex and renting out the spaces to three other women (they used to own a business, but a recent lawsuit has forced them to close the business and liguidate thier assets in order to pay a fine.) The quad is actually quite interesting in it's architecture. It's designed in a tuscany style villa with four seperate private areas/villas and shared common spaces (kitchens, entertaining room, pools, etc). The view of downtown is still wonderful, I think I will make much more money off of this venture. I'm also in the process of buying the '59 Diner to add to my portfolio (I have The Blue Diamond Casino, Pennelson Production Company, Pennelson Talent Agency, etc) as well as aquiring the family design firm A.Pentragnani. My silly niece has decided to pop back up again. She's still living in the jungle swinging from trees, but there is no word of her child. I wish she were more like her brother, mature and capable of handling the Pentragnani assets and responsibilities.
