So, I finally have some time to show you guys pics of my new ‘do (thanks to the lovely hair and makeup dept. on ER).
I had so much fun working on set! I showed up around 7:30 am and they first took me to wardrobe where I was given teeny tiny booty shorts and a very small strapless bra (picture two pasties sewn together, heh). Thankfully they gave me a really comfy robe so I didn’t have to walk around set half-naked all day (and mind you, it is freezing in Burbank that early in the morning). Then, I went and changed and headed over to the hair and makeup trailer.
I had my makeup done first. Since Ms. Nagra is a couple of shades darker than me, they literally had to paint me to match her skin tone. It was so cool. The makeup dried instantly and I was told it was waterproof too (which was a must since the scene that I was body doubling for was going to be shot in the rain–with a rain machine of course. I don’t think anyone would want makeup dripping off of me while that happened). I felt like I got an instant tan, and I loved the way the makeup made my skin look. I can’t, for the life of me, remember what the makeup was called, but it began with a V. The makeup artist also had to cover up all my tattoos and I had to take out all my piercings. It was so weird to look at my stomach without my navel ring in it because I have never taken it out before and I’ve had it for nearly 10 years! They also had to take off my pretty new pedicure since I had really dark polish on my toes and Ms. Nagra had a silver-blue color on hers. They sent someone out to go and buy the same exact color which was then applied to my toes about an hour later (pretty color, just not my style).
After my makeup was done, I had my hair done. I was told to come in with it damp and up in a bun so that’s what I did. My hair dresser proceeded to curl my hair to look just like Ms. Nagra’s (and to look the way it would after getting wet in the rain). I loved the outcome so much that I want to go buy a curling iron now!
It took until about 9/9:30 to finish everything and then I was taken in a van over to the set where I got to meet a ton of the regulars on ER and a bunch of the regular background characters as well. I don’t want to give anything away about the plot of the episode, so you’ll just have to wait and see it when it comes out supposedly in April. It’s the next new ER episode to air, I think. Let’s just say I had a blast and I can’t wait to work on set again!
So, without further to do, here are two badly shot camera pics of my hair.
The first one was taken right after my hair was cut so it looks a little flat (sorry I look like such a mess, but I was completely sans-makeup and soooo tired).

The second one was taken after being on set all day, so again, I apologize for looking like a mess. I love how my hair looks curly though

So, there you have it. I think a friend of mine at Islands who is currently going through cosmetology school is going to dye my hair a lighter brown in the next couple of weeks (FOR FREE
) so I will be sure to post pics when I have them.
I hope everyone is doing well! I have lots to do today so I’ll catch ya’ll later.
