Hey everyone! Quick update—I’ve made it through the first round of the Loose Cannon qualifiers! The poker part is behind me, and now it’s all about standing out to the judges. I brought back my black cowboy hat look from last year and gave them a taste of my personality with some fun questionnaire answers. Now it’s time to turn up the charm and make it to that final spot! Also, apologies for not posting to our Vato’s Locos community yesterday. Things got a bit hectic with the tournament, and a video audition for a Jamie Fox project, but I’m back and ready to keep us moving forward. Thanks for the support—let’s keep the momentum going!
