Lights! Camera! Action!

There is nothing like modeling: It is the business of others putting whatever they like on a model and the model making it look good regardless of the reality. Today I was put into a 34DD bra (when I wear a 38D....so my ribs were being crushed for most of the day and the straps were cutting into my shoulders) and 3 pair of panties (since one was too sheer on camera so we had to layer them for opacity). It was the strangest thing I have ever been put in while on the job. The client let us keep the underwear, but I don't really know what to do with it. First of all, everything we wore was white, and I never wear white underwear (nude or colored is the rule). Also, I don't think that anything I was given was actually my size, so I don't see myself wearing it in the future. I feel badly throwing it away. I may just have to donate them to the local Salvation Army or something. Other than the strange underwear situation, the actual taping was pretty cool. The models and I did a little rockettes-style line up and I learned a lot about the process of filming tv. All the other jobs I have done have been in runway and print so tv is a new frontier for me. I feel like the experience was pretty good, now all I need to do is get in the shower and wash off all the full-body makeup...
(Update: The producer liked me enough to want me back for another segment! Cross your fingers for me!)
