The Deena Show : I could scream!!!

I could scream!!!

This is not a happy blog :( but one I needed to write to let all my friends and viewers know what happened with "Scream Queens".

So many of you tweeted @SQCasting telling them you'd love to see me on the show and left a comment on VH1's blog :

Without divulging details I promised I wouldn't, what I can tell you now is this:

I made it far. Very, very close. And in the end? I wasn't picked.

To say that this is devastating to me is an understatement. I'm not gonna pretend like this one didn't bum me out. It did. Big time.

I'd bet a million bucks nobody else wanted it more, worked harder on their audition and submission tape, stressed out, lost sleep

and truly ached for this.

Truly.

I have cried a bunch. I feel heartbroken.

I wanted to thank you all for the support

you've shown me in rooting for me!

It means the world to me, you have no idea!

I'm definitely going to try for this again next year.

NOW HERE IS THE IMPORTANT PART!!!!!!!!!

I've set up an email for the next time I try.

I want to show them a year in the making...

so if you think they

a.) Should have used me this year

and or

b.) Want me on next year

Let me know at thedeenashow@hotmail.com

I'll be using your emails somehow as part of the audition submission.

Bunches of love to all of you!

Damn, sorry to hear it, Deena :( But you've got the right idea! "A Year in the Making of Beaner Larue"... yeah, it's got a nice ring to it ;) You're always full of great ideas, so I know you'll kick some major ass with the new project and even though it's disappointing right now, you may realize that this wasn't a missed opportunity here, it's just another route to even more opportunities! I wish the best of luck to ya, girl, and don't forget- all of your fans are going to be sitting here right along side you throughout the new year and the new project!

Hello!

Welcome! My name is Deena Marie Manzanares. Because I think it's far more interesting to know who people are, rather than what they do, let's start there. I'm a highly sensitive person who often felt my heart was made of glass, my nervous system on the outside, not meant for a world so harsh. Over the years I learned to harness life's alchemy to redirect my perceived weakness into my superpower. I am the softest warrior you'll ever meet.

I am a single mother to my son. I saw him in a vision years before he was even a possibility. Birth was the moment of my life. Housing the bones and soul of another is completely life-altering, and put all my priorities in just the right places. He is the greatest love I've ever known.

I'm an actor, model, and tv host. Theatre, and storytelling are sacred to me. As an actor, and as an audience member I am able to dissipate into the whole. Relating to story reminds us we are not alone.

I am a member of Actors Equity Association, and represented by Talent Management Group. I'm brand ambassador for business Got Beauty. I am associate artist with the Sting and Honey theatre company. I am a tv host for ABC4.

Over the years I created a large social media following after an extremely popular YouTube channel(s).

I am a shapeshifting poet. My heart comes in many forms. My words, my poetry, my art, my exchanges with you. I'm in progress. I am a giant heartbeat, I am learning, I am sharing it with you here...
