Hey Everyone,
Another long overdue blog about what Shauna and I have been up to. Some
of you must think that we have dropped off the face of the planet.
Shauna and I filmed the pilot ‘Tales of an Urban Indian’ in February.
Wow, has it really been that long since we blogged? Right now we are
waiting to receive word if APTN likes our show enough to pick it up.
So, maybe you guys can write APTN and say “We want Tales of an Urban
Indian!” I don’t know if it will help or not, but, maybe it will get
them thinking! We feel so honored to work with cast such as Darrell
Dennis, Carmen Moore, Tantoo Cardinal, Graham Green, and Katya Gardner!
We have been fairly busy these days. Our BT Guy calendar has been on
the top of our agenda. After we produced our ‘BT Girl 2009 calendar’ we
received many requests, mainly from women, asking for a ‘BT Guy
Calendar’. The calendar will not stand for “Beautiful and Talented” as
it did for the BT Girls Calendar. The B&T will stand for ‘Bold and
Tribal’. We have already shot ‘Nathaniel Arcand’, ‘Robert Guthrie’,
‘Justin Rain’, ‘John Kervel’, and ‘Taionnaih Akubal’. We are still
searching for male models for the ‘BT Guy 2010 Calendar’. If you know
any handsome ‘Bold & Tribal’ guys out there, that you think should
model, get them to apply at:

Watch for us on Muchmusic. We were in Joey Stylez’s latest music video
called ‘Kool Runnin’. Support him by requesting his music video on Much
On Demand!
We co-hosted the “Westcoast American Indian Music Awards” with Robert
Guthrie a few weeks ago. We were so happy to have our Grandmother there
with us, Emma Baker! (

) One of our BT Girls ‘Inez Jasper’ took home two awards for her new
album ‘Singsoulgirl’! This girl definitely stands for a BT Girl because
she has unlimited beauty and talent! We are so proud of her! You can
buy her cd online at

Shauna and I were casted in another pilot! We are super excited about
this because we will be starring in it! One of us will be playing the
“up-tight” twin and the other the “wild twin”. We’ll keep you posted
with more information when we hear more!
Shauna and I have been working on our own solo projects within the last
five months. We have been diversifying our artistic skills by not
playing as many twin roles. It has been an amazing adventure. Although,
we enjoy working together when we play “twin” roles we just wanted to
be able to learn more as individuals.
Shauna and I finished filming ‘Dreamcatcher’ a month ago. Shauna plays
the lead and I play her estranged twin sister. We will keep you guys
updated on the progress of the film. Right now the film is in
post-production.
I am one of the leads in a film called “Estelle”. I play the “bad guy”
who does anything to win, even if it means cheating! The film is about
a clumsy tennis player named ‘Estelle’ that wins every match by fluke
despite her “graceless”. By the way, we are still looking for
background performers for the film. If you are interested you can check
out the posting on craigslist:

Speaking of acting, Shauna and I are now represented by different
agencies. She left our shared agency ‘Muse Artist Management‘ and is
now with ‘Entourage Talent’.
We will be i the cover of ‘Stunner Baby Magazine’ based out of New York! We’ll let you know how that goes!
We have been thinking about doing a video blog instead of writing our
blogs out. It seems like it will be a lot more fun! I think we will be
keeping up with our blogs if we do it this way. Let us know what you
think. Do you think we should have a video blog?
We are having a calendar sale on
http://www.thebtgirls.com/store.html We are selling the calendars for $10! Please support!
Much Love,
Shannon Baker
