Hair Show

2011-03-08T23:19:00.003-05:00

Can you really call it work when you are getting your hair highlighted, cut and styled by the most gifted, most amazing hair stylists going?! If so, here is me at "work" this week. I was lucky enough to be a model for the Patrick Melville Salon at the hair show.

Me with Rick and Jeffrey - colorists extraordinaire! Thanks to Patrick for the amazing cut!!

"Forbidden Love"

2011-02-21T22:19:00.007-05:00

Getting to shoot a feature where I play a drama student with Richard Chamberlain as my teacher? Yes, please! Shooting "Forbidden Love" was quite an adventure. I was blessed to work with many, many incredibly talented actors. Here are a few of my fave pics from the shoot:

Our "drama class" with the teach, himself!

Audrey, Liz, Heidi and Anna totally in character.

Logical on-set energy booster? Handstands in full wardrobe, hair, and make-up, of course!

SWEET!

Getting Cozy

2010-05-12T16:20:00.003-04:00

Sometimes (like this week), I get to shoot things outside - the crew has a LOT to deal with - people, noise, weather, etc. It can get really cold, but, hey - as long as I am shooting - I really don't care! Other times, like last week, I get to shoot inside a studio, and have wardrobe like this:

I mean, REALLY?! It doesn't get more cozy - lucky, lucky me.

Sonic Adjustments

2010-02-03T22:47:00.007-05:00

Two YEARS ago, I wandered into my first yoga studio ever - a cute little place in Hell's Kitchen called, Sonic Yoga. It was love at first class - and I haven't stopped practicing since! Two WEEKS ago, one of my teachers (the always amazing Keith) asked me to be in a photo shoot they were doing for a new teacher training manual on adjustments. Yes, please!

Keith adjusting me in reverse triangle.

Getting deeper into Camel.

Making my shoulders sooooooo happy!

My back and hamstrings (and about a zillion other body parts) say, thank you!

My current absolute FAVORITE adjustment!

Thank you Keith, thank you Sonic! Have I mentioned, I heart yoga?

Happy 2010!

2010-01-06T16:34:00.008-05:00

Happy New Year!!! I don't know about anyone else, but I LOVE being able to re-charge my batteries right before a new year so that I am relaxed, alert and READY TO GO for January! In keeping with what I hope to be a tradition, I did a yoga photo shoot in St. Thomas, and yes, I feel uber-relaxed and super ready for everything the new year brings!

Check out a few of my fave pics from the shoot:

Wishing you a New Year full of love, health, happiness and dreams that come true. Shanti.

YAY! SO excited that my episode of "White Collar" is airing THIS FRIDAY, November 20th, 10/9c on the USA Network. Check out the preview for this week:

S'amuse!!!

SUPERFECTA!

2009-10-19T19:48:00.003-04:00

I FINALLY got my SUPERFECTA! What is a superfecta, you ask? It is like a trifecta, but with four. I know, I thought it was a quadfecta, but I googled it, and it is indeed "superfecta". SO, I have had roles on "As The World Turns" and "All My Children" multiple times, I also had a role on "Guiding Light" once... That always made three out of the four soap operas that shoot in NYC, and for as long as I can remember, I have wanted to work on ALL of them. Guess who just shot a two-episode arc on "One Life To Live" - I WIN! SUPERFECTA!!!

They even wrote about it:
http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/soaps/one-life-to-live/tag/heidi-kristoffer
I am super-duper excited about that, and according to that source, my episodes will air Friday, October 30th and Monday, November 2nd.

Also, "White Collar" starts airing on USA Network THIS FRIDAY, October 23rd 10/9c
- I am not in the first episode (I will let you know, of COURSE when I know my episode's air date), but it looks like a really great show, so check it out!

MERCY Premiere

And, of course... THIS is who you are looking for!!!

Baby Mama Me?! YIKES!

I was lucky enough to do a photo shoot for Babies R Us - for the September catalogue (I am on the COVER and in it - yay) - as well as for some of their internet, signage, safety brochures, etc - very cool :) It was pretty funny - I have never done a photo shoot with babies before, and there is this whole world of "baby photography" that I had no idea about! For example - there were three different children for each set-up (in case one or two of them got a little cranky and decided he or she didn't want to be there!) Also - there is a person whose job is that of the "baby wrangler" - doesn't that sound like something for animals - wrangler?? Anyway - they come in with this HUGE suitcase full of toys and stand behind the photographer and make crazy baby "coos" and noises all day and tickle them with all of the toys - it is too funny.

Here are a few of my faves from the shoot:

Cover of the September catalogue

Inside of the September catalogue

Safety brochure

Thank you Babies R Us!!!

Parlez-Vous Français?

2009-08-23T15:10:00.000-04:00

When I was growing up, one night a week, my parents made us speak ONLY French at the dinner table. As in - you would be completely ignored if you spoke in English. Now, as you can imagine, I HATED them for it then, but boy am I GRATEFUL to them now!!! (They also took a very unappreciative brood of children with them to Paris and Geneva on business often - how ungrateful was I as a kid???)

I just finished shooting an episode of a new USA show that starts airing at the end of October called "White Collar". Why do I bring up the French? The only way you could even AUDITION for this part was if you were fluent - thanks Mums and Poops!!! My character, Claire, and her best friend, Brigitte (played by a gorgeous actress named Natalia - see pics!) spoke to each other in French in all of our scenes. It was hilarious, it was fantastically fun, and I loved, loved, LOVED every second of shooting!!!!

With Natalia shooting on location in the Meatpacking district.

With our director and some of the shows' stars in the studio.

What Would YOU do for a Klondike Bar?

I had the pleasure of shooting a Klondike spot with Michael Ian Black. I got to wear yoga clothes on set. Really? Does is GET better for me???

Catching up...

Hello, Blog-land! Okay, so obvi I am new at this. Instead of a "News" section on my website, I am going to TRY the whole blog thing... so we will see how it goes... fingers, toes and everything crossed!

This year so far... I have been one lucky, lucky actress!!!!

I started off the year right in January, with a beautiful photo shoot doing one of my favorite things in the whole world: YOGA!!! Here are two of my fave poses:

Vishvamirasana - "Full Compass Pose"

and

Eka Pada Rajakapotasana "King Pigeon"

In February, I was on an episode of "As The World Turns" - here is one of my favorite stills:

Can you tell I love, love, LOVE being on that show???

Also, in February, "Confessions of a Shopaholic" came out!

I was super-excited to see this scene in the trailer!

The cast: ridiculously fun.

The wardrobe: STELLAR.

Red Chloe ankle boots, anyone???

In March, I got to shoot an ABC Pilot (my very first network pilot!!!) called, "Empire State". It had a star-studded cast and a phenomenal script - it was SUCH an incredible experience.

Here is me very excited about my hair and makeup

And here is me super-STOKED about my huge trailer!!!

Come April, I got to shoot my SECOND network pilot (I know, I know - I must be on someone's SUPER-GOOD list!!!), this one was for NBC, "Mercy". I got to play a reeeeeally fun character - an Upper East Side WASP (super-stretch, I know!) named Emily.

Me on set with two of my cast-mates.

"Emily" and her BFF "Winter".

I heart wardrobe, makeup and hair!!!

For several months, I was in a sketch comedy show called, "Fine, Funny, & Female"

When I wasn't on stage between then and now, I have been super busy with photo shoots and commercials... Yippee! More on that to come.

Did I mention I love to bake??? I recently went to an event hosted by an amazing theatre company, "The New York Theatre Experiment" (www.newyorktheatreexperiment.com) which was a "Pie-Off" in honor of their fifth birthday.

Here is one of the members of NYTE getting ready to take my vegan "Pudge-Free Pecan Pie" samples over to the judges (one of whom is the executive pastry chef at DANIEL!!!)

Guess what?! My pie placed in the "Top Five"!

Can you tell I was ELATED???

On that sweet note, I think we are almost caught up. And I am pretty sure that is more than enough for one post!!! xoxo
