My wild flowers

Well here are my flowers I grew. As I see it, it cost us about $20 for this bouquet. I planted a bazzilon seeds and this is what came up! I do like the photo I took of the flowers. Here is a really weird pic of my eye. I though it was creepy.

Justice Shoot

Last week a shot an ad for Justice (which is owned by Limited Too)It was so much fun. We got to shoot in Central Park in NYC and the trailer was set up right in front of the Museum of Natural History where "A Night at the Museum" was filmed. Even though I didn't have much time I was able to walk thru the exhibits quickly because after 4:45 the museum is free! Here are some photos from me from the shoot. We couldn't take pics of the actual shoot but you can see me soon at www.justicejustforgirls.com this holiday season.

Reservation Road to be released Oct 19

We just found out that the movie I was in with Elle Fanning "Reservation Road" release date has been moved up to October 19th. It got an "R" rating so I might not be able to bring my friends to it as I had hoped. marykatemalat.com is now an affilate of www.elle-fanning.org Which is a great website to find out information obout the movie. I also learn through Elle's website that it will be premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. We are thinking of going because my photo is going to be up in the Vaungh Mills mall and on some billboards in that area.

My day in jail By Mary Kate

Great News!!

This me and my friend Nora that I met on the set!

Today we got great news from the folks who produced "Hope and a Little Sugar" My first film which was a "Bollywood-Hollywood" colaboration. This was my first movie that was shot about two 1/2 years ago. It was so much fun and I will always remember it. My mom & I now watch Bollywood films when ever we can and sometimes we see actors & actresses I got work with and it seems surreal.


"Please let Mary Kate know that her performance survived the final cut and her "trick or treat" scene has now been viewed at film festivals all around the world (New York City; Goa, India; Karachi, Pakistan; Milan, Italy, et al). The film is currently awaiting distribution and will have its official release sometime in the near future."

Wishing Mary Kate all the best!

This past weekend I was one of the hostesses of the New England Star Pageant AKA NES. I'm the girl who brings out the big check to the winner. It sounds easy enough right?? Well first my make up artist from Kentucky's flight got cancelled. You all know you can't hostess a pageant without a really big Southern style hair do and lots of make up! So I had to do my own with my mom's make up. It was so good to see so many friends from the past when I used to do pageants.
