Sara and I are being interviewed for a documentary on abortion tomorrow morning. It is being directed by someone who had a small role in the movie Outbreak, but I forgot who. Regardless, we are very excited.
As Sara arranged for the interview, she reminded me that we would be on film. I knew what that meant: I’d have to wear makeup. “You’ll need to wear makeup,” she said. Since I don’t want to give the forced childbirth movement any more fodder against us reproductive rights advocates by appearing to be a flesh eating zombie in a documentary, I readily agreed. My biggest problem is that I do not know how to put makeup on, so Sara is having me over early to help me. She is even letting me use her powder, as I own none and imagine that powder is the single most important product a person needs before being filmed for anything.
The point is, I thankfully will not look like Harry Potter, Anne Frank, nor a flesh eating zombie in my film debut thanks to the magic of makeup. Hopefully, I will have some good stories to share after our segment on life as baby-killing minions is complete.

ReplyDeleteDaniel Radcliffe will be starring in a play called "Euus" or somthing like that, in which he plays a ranch hand with the hots for horses... and he has a nude scene!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Dr. P, I already mentioned that!
ReplyDeleteOutbreak was filmed by my hometown. People saw Dustin Hoffman in Safeway, but I didn't see him.
I'm pretty sure you do own some powder. Wasn't there some in the magical box that I gave you?
Have fun and good luck though!
sorry super des, i hadn't read the comments on the other post when i wrote that. i saw it after the fact. oops!
ReplyDeleteI was given a very nice gift bag of very nice make-up for my birthday. My husband took our family out to eat last weekend and I put on make-up for the first time in two and a half years. I know exactly how you feel.
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree that you will probably HAVE to wear make-up so you don't look transparent on film, I'm sorry that you have too. Having seen the pictures you post here, I think you look fine. Nothing at all like Anne Frank, Harry Potter or anyone else boyish and odd. For what it's worth, my husband agrees.
Have fun and say many things that will inspire young women everywhere to stand up for themselves.
