Alana Is No Second Stringer
When you hear the phrase bench warmer you think
about a third-string player that never gets into the game. The trading card
company Benchwarmers has been producing some eye-popping cards and now they have
landed Alana Curry for their upcoming set - - and she chooses to warm up the
pine.
Alana was in Terminator 3 and is always working.
She also does a fair amount of collectible shows. She’s not just a pretty face;
she’s funny and smart and now will have her own trading card.
“Several of my friends have appeared for
benchwarmer trading cards before and have always recommended it highly,” said
Curry. “I think they are very tasteful and fun. They seem to be very
collectible- apparently my friend Barbara Moore had one of her trading cards
sell for over $350 on Ebay. And they are a perfect
addition to my items that I offer at autograph signings and on my website http://www.alanacurry.com/
.
Card sets like this can attract a lot of
attention and could be great PR. It’s fair to say that this is a product
targeted for males and Curry has no problem showing off her sexy side. But does
her husband have a problem with it?
“At the shoot they have a ton of cute outfits
and a stylist to dress you up all pretty. But I did bring a few things of my
own, which they ended up using,” she said. “It was funny- I was trying on
clothes before the shoot and showing my husband, Rob. His reaction was either
WOW or No Way! I’d be tossing clothes into a pile to use for the shoot and he’d
be tossing them back into closet. For the most part he’s pretty cool about this
kind of stuff and he thinks that the pictures turned out awesome.”
The pictures did turn out great and collectors will love her cards. The
collectible industry has some very loyal fans and once they see these shots
they will likely look up Alana’s website to find out more about her and her
career - - at least that’s what the hope is.
“I think there are going to be people who are
benchwarmer collectors and may stumble on upon my new trading cards and take an
interest,” Curry said. “I also think it goes both ways, and that a lot of my
current fans may suddenly become familiar with benchwarmer.”
Benchwarmer usually has a lot of models that
have posed in Playboy but Alana is a hard-working actress that doesn’t fit that
mold and to be honest it’s sexier to see her in these outfits than to see some
other girls that have already been over-exposed.
If you see Alana at a
show you will see that she is very personable. Her fans are very important to
her and so is her craft. The first time we met her was at the National in
“I have a few things in
the works right now. I am set to shoot a Universal picture in October /
November. It is a crime suspense thriller and right now is in pre-production
still attaching all the actors. I also am in negotiations with FOX for a new TV
show, which is still in development so I can’t say anymore about that right
now. I will make sure to post all info on upcoming projects once they are
finalized, on my website. Also I have a few upcoming signings in October and
November: I am appearing at the St. Louis Sports Collectors Show on October 23&24th,
and then at the Chiller Theatre Show in NJ over Halloween weekend Oct
29th-31st. Then I am probably appearing at the Chicago Sun and Times Show on
11/20 & 11/21.”
I am a huge Chiller theatre fan and was
genuinely scared on Saturday night’s when I would watch the hand pop out of the
grave! Look for Sportsology to have coverage of that
show and look for Alana; you’ll be happy you did.
