There are so many stories I could tell, and yet because of my profession I cannot. Sitting in a makeup artist's chair is much like sitting on "the couch" in a therapists office. Confidences should never be broken lest your wishing to never work in the entertainment industry again. I try to be what you'd call a "listener", because people in my chair are typically not interested in family life, however the ones that are interested get an ear full.As I've stated before I have had some interesting gigs. Last night I worked at the Rock Scissors Paper Championship Finals. Seriously ROCK, SCISSORS, PAPER... I kid you not!!
From the roar of the crowd you would have thought it was the Super Bowl! But mostly I believe it was the free flow of inebriation and cameras on the inebriated egging them on. An interesting part of the evening was when I was instructed to glam up one of the contestants who was so incredibly nervous she had NOTHING for the camera, personality zero. A bit of makeup and coaxing helped. She was one of the final two. I hope the makeup didn't hinder her ability to win as she did not do so. :-( The show airs sometime in August
