The film Iron Man is slowly moving out of our minds (until Iron Man II comes out!) but that hasn’t stopped the Japanese company Hot Toys creating 1:6 scale Iron Man Mark I, II and III figures that feature an absolutely extraordinary level of detail.
Check the Mark I figure below! Not sure when the figures will come out, but they’re looking damn good!

I will slowly categorize everyone into actors, musicians, models, mua, directors, Unsigned, etc...so those needing the right face/service can easily find them.
Any crazy ideas? Send them my way. This site is for you to use and abuse and promote yourselves. If you google many of these people below, you will see NEAATO come up, so don't be shy. I want to slowly build a nice database of interviews that don't make you go zzzzzzzzzz. So Yabba Dabba Doo and let's get this party started. Casting directors who need help casting asian american cast/extras/whatever, please email asianamericancasting@yahoo.com (WE ARE NOT A CASTING AGENCY, BUT WILL BULLETIN/BLOG TO HELP THE CAUSE) FAQs:
Question: How did NEAATO start? Answer: After going to numerous Asian American Film Fests, I googled Asian American casting and networking and nothing came up. NOTHING!!! After noticing each asian film fest would bulletin different castings, I decided to put them all together for easy access. Thats what NEAATO is all about, easy access, like crotchless undies.
Did you just mention crotchless undies? Answer: Yes, I did.
How do I get NEAATO? Answer: Easy, message me, make a networking page that is NOT private so people can find you, you silly goose. How are people supposed to find you if you are private? Dur. I also suggest making a public facebook too. If you did it right, I can just copy and paste the info in your 'about me' section and can copy and paste a pic of you there too. If you haven't noticed, we here at NEAATO are big fans of the copy and paste. Yup, thats it basically.
Tips for your about me section: WHO are you. WHAT have you done/want to do. (mini resume) WHERE you at? want to be? location helps. WHY? Seriously, why? Keep it sweet, keep it short, and like a resume, exaggerate your ass off, we know you're doing it anyways. And again, QUALITY, not QUANTITY. That's great you were a stand in to the background of Chow Yun Fat's shadow. Keep the good, trash the mediocre.
TIPS ON MAKING YOUR NETWORKING MYSPACE: 1. It should take 5 minutes. Throw in a headshot, a mini resume in your about me section and like my Chinese cousin's name: Wa La! You're done! Add some small pictures on the side or a quick slideshow if you want. Remember, some people don't have myspace so whatever is on the front page is what they see. Also remember, casting directors usually cast with one heashot because they don't have time to view your whole port. Don't overdue it, you could be making it worse for yourself. Like I said, 5 measly minutes. 2. Leave the drama for your mama. Or on your personal site. Nobody cares about your emo blogs/whining. 3. No glitter. Just...just don't. And we get it, you like superheros. Noted. 4. Drunk pics. Thats what casting directors want to see. Sure. 5. That whole taking a picture of yourself in the bathroom, or with a door in the background? Not very classy. Resist the temptation for a myspace angle. You know what I'm talking about. 6. Family pics and pets. Unless we want to cast your puppy in Lassie comes home and your little brother in home alone 5, I would again leave in personal myspace. 7. Music videos. I'm sure you want to show everyone the newest rump shaker music video and how you like to 'zoom zoom zoom in the boom boom', but yea...regular music that fits your pics/theme will do. 8. Make it great. 9. Make it fine. 10. Edit it again.

Thank you to all who came to the Cd release on July 22 and the Community Showcase in Janesville, WI last Saturday. It was a little heart breaking to see 2 brothers fighting, but it was so beautiful to see my nieces, nephews, and little cousins in the audience. My people and family showed made love while I was on stage.
I will be performing at the 14th annual Chicago Korean Festival next Sunday August 9 at 6pm on Bryn Mawr and Kimball. Please come show your love and support or even just to hang out. It would mean a lot to me.
As for Saturday August 15 it will be at a club, but it's a private party. I apologize to those who did not recieve the invite. Wish I can bring my people in but its not my party. Sorry.
Once again, thank you to all for the love and support.
After years of writing to heal from dealing with life everyday struggles, ups and down that loves brings, and feeling deep emotion at an extreme volume, I am finally able to compile some of my most inner feeling, putting them together into 1 CD. By express myself; I free myself of pain and inner struggle, giving me strength to focus energy into making changes for my community.
