| the hair's teasing got combed out upon my arrival at home |
without help from a professional. Turns out, the professional was someone for whom I'd rolled my hair many a day, back when I worked on Mad Men. Today's work was on a sitcom that's set in the 1980's, thus the need for the claw bangs. I don't own the hairband nor the sweater. Everything else I'm wearing is part of my wardrobe, even today. What can I say? I like florals.
I was watching the monitors at some point in my short work day, and I discovered that we, the background performers, while technically appearing on camera, are not really remotely visible. So these three BTS pics of me are not in any way spoilers. I also won't attach a show link, so there's no reason for you to try to watch "my" episode. The vanities dressed and coiffed and painted us all to look authentic, and really, all you'll see is blurs. I didn't really act today.
But I did get up super early, and having only covered about half my steps by the time I got home, took a longish walk with Stephen to make up the difference. And now it's late, and I'm coughing a bit, but I'm really quite tired, so I shall retire, once I quell the cough.
And tomorrow, I think I'll dismantle my laptop so I can clean the keyboard. Throughout the creation of this post, I've had to go back and re-type the "e"s, because it keps missing them. Except in the last three sentences, where it only missed ONE. Go figure.
What are YOU doing this weekend?
I didn't know you worked on Mad Men!! That is super cool, which episode would I be able to see you on?
ReplyDeleteThe first three seasons, I'm all over the place. I'm the secretary in Sterling, Cooper, Price that looks the most like Marilyn Monroe. I'm in the background, filing, smoking, sitting at a desk, and/or on the phone. In S3 Ep5, I think ("Maidenform"), I am featured (filing my nails or applying lipstick at my desk).
DeleteIsn't that the one you told me about? I think you're actually talking to a coworker until one of the gals walks out of an office and then the two of you stop talking and get back to work.
DeleteFYI you look very 80's in these pics. Taking me back.
Clearly I am going to be rewatching now!! I love that you were in something I watch, I wonder what else you were in!
DeleteI'm probably in Just One Scene from each of Adam Sandler's movies that were shot in Los Angeles from ~2006 until ~2012? Not NECESSARILY visible enough to find me, but if you're a fan of Adam Sandler, you can certainly make a "Where's Waldo?" game out of it.
DeleteI am NOT the Most Famous Background Artist out there. That's a young fella named Jesse. You'll probably find him if you look for the YouTube video using ^that^ kind of search.
I don't think you've reached my "featured" episode yet, Lee. Up until S3 Ep5, I'm All. Over. The. Place. But in that one, the camera takes a moment to really Focus on me, alone at my desk.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the show I worked on in THESE (^) pics is set in the 80's.
Pfff...fine, I'll look AGAIN!
DeleteYou can watch the show or not. I never did. I just know that I'm all over the place, not just in an episode or two (but I worked on 25 over the course of the first three seasons). And my "featured" episode is the one called "Maidenform".
DeleteYou don't HAVE to "look again" if you don't want to. It's not like I get residuals for background work. :)
You're FORCING ME...I can feel it. I can feel you twisting my arm from down in Burbank.
DeleteWell, then, you're s'posedtago "ow ow ow ow ow" with your arm behind your back. Try it; it's fun! ;)
