Twinkie Byrd - I Am Can't

So after I landed La La Land last month, Twinkie was the first Casting Director I met in LA. And I remember my first impression of her was her cool afro like the picture you see here... I almost wanted to lean forward and touch it but I'm too short. Because I've always wanted to try out different hairdos especially like afro or dreadlocks, so that people won't miss me passing by. :)


I drew Twinkie in the shirt that I was in for audition as a hip I.T. Girl, and she really loved the shirt. So I thought before I can go back to Taiwan and find one for her, I can use my drawing skill to draw her with the shirt to have the satisfaction in the eyes.


Plus, I listened to one of her interviews last month on the 18th on blogtalkradio.com, and her advice for new comers to the "Ocean" (La La Land) is only true and honest. I'm glad that I listened to it. And I love her energy and laughs, I can even feel it when looking at her through this picture. 


'I Am Can't' is her soon coming book, I'm looking forward to reading it. Because I'm interested in knowing how she went through all those "no, you can't do it" and she's now very successful.
