Hairspray, Hairspray, Hairspray
Hairspray, Hairspray, Hairspray
The day started early with April and her make-up angels Ange and Angie. Armed with Rosemarie Swinifield’s “Stage Makeup, Step-by-step”, we set about adding some thirty years to the boyish Zhiqian.
We scrupulously documented Zhiqian’s ageing process. Let’s just say that at some point, we added clear glue to his face but we changed our minds when he started to peel.
The poor man then endured some serious exfoliation as we ripped our failed experiment off his face. Nothing ventured, nothing gained and now we know that clear glue is not a replacement for latex which professionals use to add lines and textures when ageing actors.
Nonetheless we succeeded, thanks to Angie’s deft fingers (see said deft fingers in the first photo from the right) and liberal use of silver hair-spray!
We took 2 whole hours to create Rose Chan’s look and Julia got into character by making the director shield her from the sun and the costume manager to provide her with a steady breeze all the way to the car. Sigh how to refuse the Golden Rose of Gayworld Cabaret… *cough-SUPER-DIVA-cough*
By 3pm we were on location and ready to roll. Notice how we make efficient use of all our resources. Cast member by day and reflector holder by night.
In between shots we relaxed with beh-teh-saw from the very famous Tan Hock Seng Cake shop at Far East Square and the bare-bodied Jin Huang entertained/terrorised the women as Lim Ah Long, the fierce and strong leader of the Jade Dragon Clan!!!
The photos from the shoot will be out real soon so watch out for it around campus!
And now we leave you with…
