when people learn you’re a food blogger, they frequently ask, what’s your favorite local restaurant? on the top of my highly-recommended list is the wonderful watermark restaurant. imagine my pleased surprise when watermark contacted me a few weeks ago to see if i’d be the taste-tester in a video featuring their new summer cocktails. of course, i agreed, + i’m so happy i did.
to see the amazing concoctions i sampled, check out the video below!
some of you might ask, is this the first video you’ve been in? randomly, no! a few years ago, i did a bit of print + video modeling, + while i never made it big (clearly!), i participated in some awesome projects. one such experience was filming a music video for jewel’s song ‘stronger woman.’ i play a stifled victorian woman + my (admittedly limited) screen time is after the 1:30 mark. enjoy!
now, if i can find a video opportunity where i can wear a victorian wig AND drink cocktails, i’ll be set!

Only in Nashville…
amen! only in nashville would:
1) jewel become a country singer
2) a food blogger play a victorian woman in a music video
=)
I love this!
and i heart you! i wish you could have seen me on the music video set — i was nervous, which manifested itself by me bebopping around frantically. it wasn’t pretty.
You’re famous! Look at you go! I might have to try that place out when I come in for Food Blog Forum. And how awesome you were in Jewels video!!
aww, thanks girl! you would absolutely love watermark — if you want company to try it out when you’re in nashville, i’m available! =) i could even (try to) arrange for you to meet the chef – he’s awesome!
Cocktail Taster? You just landed my dream job haha. That is such a sweet deal. And you should be doing more on-screen modeling gorgeous girl!
i know, right? best job ever! thanks for your sweet words! modeling was a ton of fun + now i have wonderful pictures I can look back on. my husband has a few framed in the house, which makes me embarrassed + flattered at the same time. =)
You were so great and looked gorgeous, Amy! And, just to let you know…I think it is SOO cool that you were in a music video! Awesomeness.
you are too sweet! the cocktails video is very ‘me’ which is fun + it was definitely cool to be in a real music video. i love that i can look back on them both in the future!
Sweet! That’s totally awesome. Also, I’ve been dying to go to watermark.
ooh, have you seen the awesome fixed-price menu they’re featuring through the end of August? we’re definitely going in the next few weeks to take advantage of it — i’ll email you the details! thanks for your kind words. =)
How cool is that! Great videos!
thanks, erin! i think they’re pretty cool indeed. =)
That’s what I call a great gig!
you got that right, maris!
love watermark! It’s one of my favorites. Will you be at Food Blog Forum in Nashville in October?
isn’t it just wonderful? we already went once this summer + are planning another trip there soon. and yes, i’ll be at food blog forum — tickets are already purchased. hopefully i’ll get to meet you there!
Wow!
I am new here, never visited your blog before, but now I will be regular! I love it.. Plus, you’re famous 😛
yay for new visitors – glad you made your way here. i’m not quite famous yet, but maybe that’s in my future! =)
love both videos! you are so stinkin’ cute. i need to go back to watermark – haven’t been in about 3 yrs and i have no idea why. we get stuck in the “close to home” rut i guess.
thank you, traci! we should have a double date at watermark, or even better, get a big group of bloggers together to go. the food is just amazing.
That’s pretty darn cool!! I love the costume you were wearing in the Jewel video!
the costume (+ wig) were really cool indeed! the only thing that wasn’t fun was that my size 8 feet were shoved into those size 6 victorian booties. it took three of us to get them on, ha!
Spotted you on Time of Your Life, added you to my reader!
yay! i love new readers + discovering new blogs. off to check yours out now!
Crazy small world.
I started working for Jewel during this single cycle. My classmate Cari is the Marie Antoinette character… Insanity.
xo
whoa, that is crazy! nashville is such a bizarrely small world – i think that all the time!
You’re in a music video, who would’ve guessed?! Well, actually, I’m not at all surprised. And you look gorgeous, btw. (My video claim-to-fame is about 1 second as an extra in an Oliver Stone movie. Ha!) So fun – you should try for more.
thank you so much! it was a super fun experience. i’d love to see your Oliver Stone movie cameo – that’s still pretty impressive, even if it just was for a second or two!
