As we are approaching the third rehearsal we have a few updates on the programme:
- We now have two male models for Styles of the Season. This means we now have all four models we need, and we have two younger and two older, which was what we wanted from the start. This means the model casting was a success and we didn't have to change any requirements.
- The DIY VT has been filmed with Bonnie, which looks really good. I watched the rough cut and suggested they add in more shots of Bonnie actually making the vest top as we are seeing a lot of her as she is talking, when we could be hearing her while watching her make the top. All the questions asked in the VT were all correct and allow us to follow on stage with more questions. We have agreed to keep the VT for the more creative side, where we watch her make the vest top and she can talk about how the business came about etc, then we'll have the studio interview to talk to her about the idea of online business becoming more popular than high street stores.
- We wanted someone called Susan for the audience participation segment as she had a really good photo of her and her husband in matching bright blue and pink outfits - however, she is unable to make it to the show so we have Alex's sister involved now, Nikki. She is very happy to talk to us as she is always ordering clothes online and regularly receives the wrong item. This story will link the VT very well as online fails is what the VT is about.
Drag Act
Unfortunately our current drag act became unavailable for the transmission date. After a week of Victoria, Jemma, Gavin, Laura and myself messaging and phoning cabarets and clubs, Laura found someone committed to us for our drag act - Conor Mckie aka Sapphire Stone
Sapphire Stone
- 19 years old
- Likes fashion from different eras
- Drag for 3-4 years, performing for 4-5 months
- Drag for 3-4 years, performing for 4-5 months
Gavin skyped Conor and I took notes on the chat:
- Watched RuPaul for years and took inspiration from that
- Wanted to be able to operate fashion, hair, makeup etc
- Likes different eras and the different styles - mixes fashion from different eras - might have a 20's outfit but 60's hairstyle
- He dances and lip-syncs to songs, stunts etc
- Doesn't like to sing because he has a low voice and it would be odd to have a deep voice accompanying a female body
- Will do his own hair and makeup on the day
- Conor is available for the rehearsal on the 10th and the TX day, which we were all very happy with
- Has asked for us to introduce him as his stage name - Sapphire Stone
Conor looks really good and we are delighted to have him on board. He doesn't make a lot of his own clothes but he likes fashion from different eras, sometimes he'll have a 1920's outfit on with a 1960's hair style. He will link well with Old to New, but annoying we finish with DIY and then it's the drag segment, so I may not be able to link him well in the dialogue but he will talk about his style and he will say he likes fashion from different eras.
