Headshots
by carolynholm
Dear Mommy,
I need your help. I need to get an agent.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Is this so you can get into funny cat videos?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Yes! But not just funny videos. Any cat can knock over a Christmas Tree. I want to make serious cat videos.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Serious? I’m having trouble picturing a serious cat video.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
This is why I need to make some. Cats are underappreciated.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
So you’re going to make something with a social statement in it?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Yes, or political, or something about the War on Terrorism.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
What on earth do cats have to do with terrorism?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Cats helped the police in Brussels two weeks ago when they were looking for terrorists.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
I doubt that, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Yes they did! When the city was locked down, cats were helping the police with their raids.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
No they weren’t, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Everyone was tweeting pictures of cats.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
That’s because the authorities didn’t want people tweeting information about their raids, so people had fun with that by tweeting cats instead. It was hilarious.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Why is that funny?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
It just is. Cats are funny.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I think we’re beautiful and talented.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Of course you are.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
So maybe I can be the first cat to make serious videos. But to do that I need an agent. And to get an agent I need headshots.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Headshots? No honey, I don’t think that will be necessary.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Yes it is. All actors need headshots. I’m thinking of this one. What do you think?
Or this one:
Which one do you think makes me look more intellectual?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Intellectual? That wasn’t the first thing that sprang to mind. But okay, maybe the second one, a little. Wait, is that a selfie?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Possibly. Take a look at this one. I think it’s friendlier. Which is better, the friendly one or the intellectual one?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Which one is the friendly one?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
You’re not paying attention.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Okay, I think the intellectual one is better.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I’m not sure it is. How about this one:
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Okay, this one is definitely it.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Are you sure it doesn’t make me look slutty?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Oh my god, no, it doesn’t make you look slutty. You’re a cat.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
There’s no need to get huffy. How about this one?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
You already showed me that one.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Good. I just wanted to see if you were paying attention.
Love, Carolyn
