Lights, Camera, Action! - Bucket List Item #26

     Today was my first day on a movie shoot for a horror film where I am working as the Assistant Makeup Artist on set. Whaaaat?!?
On location.
With real paid actors.
With a real live budget.
Pretty cool, eh?
    But let me tell you, it isn't as glamourous as you'd think. Today it snowed almost 12" and the mayor announced a State of Emergency and guess who was still working!?! (If you guessed us, you'd be right!) It's been freezing and a little insane but so far, it has been a really great learning opportunity! I am working with my long time friend, Tish, who is Key Artist for the shoot, and together we are having a stupidly good time. She cracks me up and we are rooming together at the hotel on location so obviously there are many laughs. Lots of chinese food. And zero sleep.
    You know what they say, there's no business like show business!

Our setup! Holy makeup batman! 

SOOOO EXCITED TO GET STARTED! Btw, it's only like 6:30am and like 20 degrees!
That's an impressive amount of enthusiasm for not having had coffee yet! 

Me and my BEAUTIFUL Tish! 

Hotel shenanigans - fun with hair extensions!  L'chaim!! 
I've always wanted a mustache! Mwah ha ha!
(Tisha says I look like Moses!)
