ABOUT

Name: Bailey Blaise

Age: ...I'd love to hear your guess

Location: typically a 2013 black Toyota Camry affectionately known as Wanda

Background: a sassy only child from the "Best Small Town in America" who spent 13 years in catholic school, 8 years on a nationally ranked competitive cheerleading team, and 18 years in a home where Jimmy Buffett was the unofficial religion

Occupation: actor (in another life probably an archaeologist or an auditor)

Education: B.A. in Musical Theatre from the University of Alabama (and 3 credits shy of a B.S. in Political Science - damn you, Public Policy 370!!!); Master's in Business from the University of Missouri

Small Pleasures: cobblestone streets, anything written by Joan Didion, the sound of an orchestra tuning up, dive bars, summer thunderstorms, the word "tchotchke", being in the mountains, oxford commas, the moment in a movie when they say the title, peeling garlic, cursive writing, unexpectedly hearing the drum intro to Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams"

Described As: "the ideal midwestern girl-next-door on the outside, with big city confidence and a serious aversion to bullsh*t on the inside"

"You're like human champagne - fun and bubbly, but surprisingly strong."

"You walk around like you’ve always been taller than all the boys.” <-- (I'm particularly proud of that one.)
