Things you encounter whilst working!!!!!!
I do make-up so I meet new people most of the time. Sometimes you meet people so rude you'd like to make them so ugly!!!! Like one time this lady booked me and I went to her address and she was telling me how she adores her make up artist that she couldn't take her for this occasion of hers!.......so she booked me instead![]()
But the worse of them all was at the theater. It was opera week-end and I had Cavalleria Rusticana if I'm not mistaken, and both me and my sis who's also a makeup artist where working in the makeup room on these Italian opera singers. At one point the wig groomer came into our room from the back door went to the sink with a wigg in his hand and started spraying a LOT of hairspray without even noticing that these people have to perfom on stage!
The guy who I was about to start was shoked, jumped on his feet and in broken English he said 'you come to my room, you come to my room' and dashed out as if he'd just met the devil.
So, slowly I gathered my brushes and other stuff that I might need and headed to the 3rd floor where the camerini of the singers where. When I came infront of the door bearing his name I knocked and a voice from inside said 'Avanti' so I opened the door to find him in front of the mirror wearing only his black undies, a black boots up to his knees and a wip in his hand!!!![]()

I WAS PETRIFIED!
The second thing I did after scanning him from top to bottom trying to realize if i'm dreaming or not, was to dash downstairs refusing to do his make up in his room!
Some people do amaze you that is true!
I remember I was so furious at him that day I asked my sister to do his make-up cos I just couldn't, if I had the opportunity to have his face that day was only to slap him hard!
Now I look back and laugh about it!
