Notes From the Author: My Movie Diary, Part Two, After the Glitter
Yesterday I mentioned that the one person on the movie set that was not pampering me and blowing sunshine up my skirt was the producer. I don’t want to imply she was rude or mean in any way. It’s just that she was more . . . business oriented than the rest of the movie crew.
The director was all about getting more shots, more camera angles. The producer was more about, can we finish this shoot on time. “Do we really need one more angle?”
I met the producer once off the set and she looked a different person. Her face softer, more relaxed.
After my last day of shooting I went home and left my make up on. Just to see if anyone noticed. Of course my wife noticed. That was easy.
So I went over to Little Ricky’s house. “You look great! What have you done? Did you loose weight? Get a tan? What is it?”
His wife and later my other neighbor Phil (yes the inspiration for Philip the Bard) said similar questions. I am not kidding.
I understand that young men in some metropolitan cities are wearing make up. I know the cosmetic industry has been trying to come up with something to get guys buying their products for years.
Well, here’s the thing guys . . . if you wear make-up people will tell you how wonderful you look. I’m just sayin’.
. . . but no I have not taken to wearing make-up.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
