In a city like this, there was nothing wrong with having a friend. Gloria felt like she and Amy were similar people. Two small town girls, trying to catch their big break. Gloria hoped that Amy got her big break, as much as Gloria wanted one for herself. She also hoped that by meeting Amy, she might be able to get used to Hollywood faster. It was a big city and could be dangerous to those who weren't used to it.<br/><br/>Gloria nodded her head at what Amy said about small parts. She'd take any type of work, as long as it was respectable and allowed her to keep her clothes on. She didn't want to stoop too low.<br/><br/>"You're right about the small parts. Everyone has to start somewhere. And I never even considered photos."<br/><br/>Although it did make sense that photos and a portfolio would be a good idea. Until she could find an agent or direction to give her a chance, her portfolio would be pretty slim. She smiled at Amy.<br/><br/>"If you don't mind, I'd like to see it."<br/><br/>Gloria realized she came a little unprepared for this city and was glad she had ran into Amy. She felt better about her chances now that she was talking to someone who had been where she was. Seeing Amy's own portfolio would help her get ideas what her own should be. She was surprised when Amy offered to talk to the gentleman she worked for. She smiled.<br/><br/>"I'd like that. I truly have no idea where to start looking. Any help and advice you can give is very much appreciated. And someday, I'll pay you back for it."<br/><br/>Gloria didn't want Amy to think she planned to take advantage of the other girl's kindness to her. She would pay her back someday for all the help she was giving her now. She nodded her head to Amy when she suggested coming around any time.<br/><br/>"I'll definitely take you up on that. I should call home and let my parents know I got here safe."<br/><br/>She was sure her mother was quite worried about how the long bus ride had went. Although calling home would get expensive fast and planned to write more letters then make phone calls. She planned to not only see Amy's portfolio but hoped to become friends with her.
