Adulthood She ran away from home to pursue a
career in acting but fell short. Most of the producers
she met would think she was too in-experienced because of
a lack of credentials and the fact that she looked odd
for her species. "Too strange looking." Most
actors would say of her. A few commercial producers gave
her a chance, as background filler or presenting a
product or two. This was it, her foot was in the door,
now all she needed was a bigger break, another chance.
but it never came. She became desparate for money and had
no real-world skills. She eventually went into a call
girl service, which treated her better than her previous
jobs. There she made some new friends, friends she could
count on if there was any need. She didn't see any real
action or money as clients either loved her looks or
hated it, and most hated it. Her 'madam' suggested she
try her acting again. Zig Zag thanked her for her help
and kindness, and then left another home.
She put her nose to the
grindstone and started her career search. Again, she was
greeted with stares and very small roles. She was rapidly
losing her patience and money. Just as she was about to
give it all up and go back to a broken home, a small-time
movie director came to her and offered a small part in
his produtions. She agreed enthusiastically. They were
bit parts at first, various background characters but
they were something and her confidence grew as she
eventually got speaking and co-starring roles. Then, one
day, her producer came to her with a big break, what she
had been waiting for, a starring role! But...in a 'Blue
Movie'...She was hesitant at first and so was he, he'd
been her agent and friend for almost two years now and
didn't want to think he was selling her out. He admited
that she'd grown into a lovely woman and in this
industry, the honest truth was that sex sells, and Zig
Zag had sex appeal in spades. Most of the modeling
agencies wanted purebreds and those who didn't care
didn't pay well, Zig Zag wanted an industry where her
looks got her what she wanted but her intelligence would
help her keep what she wanted. She mulled it over and
eventually lept at the opportunity and never looked back.
As she began her career, she
wondered if this was the right decision but looking back
on her life, she realized there was no one to shame and
nothing to stop her either. She dove right into her work
and for once in her life, felt good about what was
happening because she choose it. Her career was flowing
smoothly but Zig Zag was still not completely content
with how things were done, her friends agreed with her
realization. She began taking on more work and hoarding
her money until she had enough to feasibly make a new
start in her life. She rented a warehouse and converted
it into the now-known-as "Double Z Studios".
She got her old agent to help produce and distribute her
own titles, her friends volunteered thier services untill
she could finacially stand on her feet. This came quicker
than even Zig Zag had expected as word of her new studio
and her new way of doing things made its way around the
industry. Zig Zag was truely on her way now.
