12 of 12 for August 2009

It's time for Chad Darnell's 12 of 12 photo blog! Take 12 photos on the 12th day of each month and share with people from all around the world. If you want to get in on the action next month, check out Chad's website for all the juicy details.

This was a fun 12. I was a "model" for a Joan Rivers infomercial for a cosmetic hair product to aid fine and thinning hair called "Great Hair Day". This infomercial will be shown nationally, so keep an eye out - I think it'll be on the air by mid-September in all major markets and outlets. Great product!! I have had fine hair with a large partline most of my life and this is a powder product that completely gets rid of the shine and whiteness of the scalp. Anyway, I'll stop the promoting.....been doing it all day!!!

Oh.....in case you're wondering, no photos of Joan. She is an incredibly gracious and kind woman in person. I really enjoyed meeting her. And funny as hell, too! She is also inspiring....she's doing stand-up every night, shooting a series of infomercials during the day, and she was also on Larry King Live the other night. Unstoppable.


Here's my sorry ass at 6 am, ready to head out to NJ. I got about 4 hours of broken sleep. I just can't make myself go to bed earlier than usual, though I took last night off to do just that since I had a 7:30 am call in NJ. Wha wha whaaaaaaa!


Here are three lovely ladies - my fellow models Debbie (l) and Judy (r) and our wardrobe mistress. I'm horrible with names and am embarassed to say I don't remember hers. We provided our own wardrobe choices and she coordinated them. It was actually really comfortable to be in my own clothing and shoes.


This is the set. There were four models and four testimonial women. These are two models, Melissa (l) and Debbie again (r) getting ready for their first segment with Joan and our host, Terri Oullette, another very charming and geniune woman.


Judy in the makeup chair with Roberto. Roberto did my makeup and I seriously looked fab. I was impressed!!!


Judy getting some hair touchups by Karen, our hair stylist, before taking her "after" still photo.


The lovely "testimonialite" Terryl, who I can't believe has a 27 year-old son. Whaaaaa?????


Debbie getting all curly at Karen's expert hands.


Our makeup and hair crew - (l-r) Terri, Karen, Roberto and Robin.


Debbie and moi.


The original of this photo came out badly, so I "embossed" it playing around on my photo program. I think it looks really cool!!! The Four Models - me, Judy, Debbie and Melissa.


I finished up around 6:30 pm (looooooong day) and am here outside the studio waiting for the bus to NYC. Bye!


Another fun photo embellishment - this one is called "colored pencil" - me finally home with my Princess. We're both happy!!!!

Thanks for tuning in to another month of 12. Hopefully this month, I'll have the chance to visit other blogger's photos!!!
