Dawn

6/25/08 – TV – Dawn “Latin Lover” – Carmen – dbl scale  

was very nervous for this shoot as I walked in with a small cut on the back of my right hand (the normal money hand!)  got to set and was weighing my options, do I call Carmen?  Do I tell the AD?  Will I be able to cover it?  I peeked in the dressing room and found to my utter relief that there were 3 face girls AND 2 makeup artists.  2 very talent makeup artists.  I sneaked in and asked the blond, Michelle what she thought and she said ‘no worries, I can cover that!’  sweet relief.  The manicurist donna did my nails in 2 coats of sugar daddy and michelle covered my wound and birthmark and I was ready to rock.  Everyone on the set was amazing and turned out I had worked with quite a few of the crew guys on other stuff and they remembered me and were happy to work with me again.  

Shots – 

Set down bottle of dawn

Pick up bottle of generic and hand lotion

Same as above and add set down bottle of dawn

Hand caress  (after dunking my hands 5 times in the water with the dish soap – legal thing)

Pour dawn into the sink

The hand caress shot was oddly difficult to get!  I had to rub my hands around like I did for the Lysol shot though it was after dunking my hands repeatedly in the dawn soap..this soap is supposed to make hands look amazing after 5 uses.  I had to promise not to add lotion or any oils after dunking..  what made it hard to rub my hands together was the fact that they were sticky and it wasn’t a smooth rub.  I found that holding something cold helped to freeze away the tackiness.  Certain shots were difficult positions though everyone was uber nice in helping me find them and making sure I had ample rest time between shots.
