Then I got an idea.
Doc said my dress looked like a muumuu, so I added a vintage belt.
Et Voila!!! Much better with the belt.
So we drove up to Pasadena for the shoot. It was filmed in a private home that looked to be built in the 1920s. In order not to disturb the neighbors in the exclusive neighborhood where the beautiful property was located, we were picked up at a nearby church and shuttled up to the house. First, we stopped at a tea shop, and I got a mango tea with boba.
There I am, in front of the church.
We were dropped off, and led back to the craft services area, where there was a lot of food set up.
In the back yard, there was a lot of equipment - lights, booms, filters, shades, and a bunch of things that I could not identify. There was also a basset hound named Danger, but he was pretty shy. It was also 90 degrees, so he was hot and mostly laid around.
Doc was instructed to wear scrubs. He sat in the makeup chair and got all powdered and fluffed.
Then they set up the scene where he walks into the house to be interviewed. It took the crew about 20 minutes to set up for the 5 second scene.
Then he sat in the living room with the hosts, Abbi and Matt.
Cheryl from Doc's office came with us for moral support ( and drove us up there)
They would film a portion, then look at the raw footage. If it was good, then a few people on another room would begin editing it on their laptops.
The guy ion the black shorts is the director. That thing that looks like a big screen TV is actually a spotlight. Doc couldn't see anything beyond it. He was all miked up, with a cord running down his pants leg and attached to a gizmo on his ankle.
The guy in the grey shorts is the producer. It took about 3 hours for them to film his part. There will be a lot of editing before it is aired. It was a fun and interesting experience that Doc enjoyed and got well paid for. I will keep you posted as to when it will air, but it will be a while.
So back to reality today. Here's what I wore today.
This is a Laundry chiffon skirt that has just a few sequins on it. The tan Chico's sweater has a gold foil animal print. I wore my new Ivanka Trump shoes that I paid a penny for. Best deal ever.
I wore a heavy costume link necklace.
On my right arm, two pieces from Saks - a white enamel / crystal ring and a stretchy crystal bracelt.
On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding set, and two gold bracelets.
So that was our brush with Hollywood. Doc is hoping to get more spots like this - he did a really good job, and everyone liked him. He did most things in just one take, which the producer liked.
