O.K. this is now the third time I am writing this blog and I hope it works.
This is the seventh year that I am doing hair for the Canada Day shows on the Parliament hill, and I am as excited this year as the first year. We are all the same team with the exception of three newbies. We all geled (excuse the expression)as if we have been working together since that first time. And in all those years this is the first picture of all of us we have ever taken together. Starting from the left we have Sharon our wardrobe magician, Cathy our newbie make-up artist, me the shortest and the only one wearing white; Tina the head of the team of hair and make-up, and Pina; make-up artist extroardinaire.
Our day started very early this year 8 a.m. to be exact, though it never seems too early on this special day. We all have our schedules of who's hair we will be doing but things can change in an instant. One of my clients was the co-host of the noon time show Mr. Ron Mclean and what a nice guy. As is evedence of the picture we took together (his idea really). In the afternoon I did Rebecca Makonnen. This was her second year as host of the evening show. She remembered me from last year. It always makes you feel good to be remembered.
Now not so say that all of the acts we took care of were not fabulous because they were but the piece de resistance was Christopher Plummer. He is an icon from stage and screen. He is debonnaire and dare I say handsome and a gentleman. And he was gracious enough to have his picture taken with me. That did it for me. The day was exilerating humbling and exhausting and I can't wait for next year.
