"\\nEverybody's workin' for the weekend\u2026Well, on Friday I sure was, and it wasn't on Brothers &amp;amp; Sisters this time.  Before I started B&amp;amp;S, one of the many ways I made money (all legal, I swear) was modeling.  Back then though, I was modeling strictly as a model, not as a working actress, and so the photo shoot I did on Friday was particularly exciting because it was one of my first as myself, actress and environmental activist, Sarah Jane Morris (for those of you just tuning in, I play Julia Walker on ABC's Brothers &amp;amp; Sisters).  \n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nOh, sure, I've done little things here and there, helping out friends, group stuff with the cast, or just walking the red carpet, but this was different because I essentially knew no one involved (except my favorite hairstylist, Jeremy, who styles me for events, and my publicist, Melissa, and manager, Margaret, who were there keeping things running smoothly). While the photographer had great ideas for the story, I got to give input and express my own ideas, some of which made it into the shoot, and that is certainly something I never would've done while modeling shoes for Neiman Marcus.  The overall idea was \"green glamour,\" I suppose.  The stylist brought some amazing Oscar-worthy dresses, and we shot around my house and in my garage with my home-fueling station, containers of grease, and my worms (actually the worms didn't make it into the shoot because we were worried about those gowns getting dirty, but I talked about them in my interview...love my worms), so it was an attempt at showing a glamorous side to the eco-movement \u2014 it's not all barefoot hippies running around in hemp clothing, you know. \n\nAnd this truly is, as you probably know by now, my life...harvesting oil on the weekends, and dressing up in fancy clothes for red-carpet events and making television during the week.  The pictures looked great, and I think my interview afterwards went well, so I'm feeling good about it. And then, as a reward (as if that wasn't rewarding enough), I got to spend the weekend with my husband, Ned, who finally returned after a long run in Europe with his band, Rooney!  We hiked with some friends in Will Rogers State Park (maybe I am a crunchy granola!) and caught up on Top Chef episodes on the TiVo.  Ahhhh, what a life! Will post again soon, and in the meantime I'd love to hear from you\u2026-SJRead Sarah Jane's previous post"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
