Charleston, S.C.
The folks in the marketing department at my hospital are known for coming up with some very creative ads. They have successfully used employees and often my volunteers as actors and models. I was in a tv spot last year examining the rash on the arm of my assigned tv husband and encouraging him to see a doctor.
It was fun! People recognized me and strangers offered to let me check rashes all over town. Heh. I've been handy for a few shots for senior programs mainly because of my white hair. I shouldn't have been surprised when the gals in marketing called laughing their heads off, saying they needed me for another commercial.
This spot is on awkward questions people have to ask their doctor. My theme? Yep. Incontinence. My only line was, "When I laugh, I leak!"
They had a great film crew working the shoot and decided to let down my hair. My hope is that people will be so distracted by my long hair that they won't hear what I am saying. Ya think?
Seriously, of course - there are awkward questions that people need to be able to ask their doctor. It is a clever idea for a spot and I wasn't the only person convinced to help out. My co-workers are going to get a kick out of this one and someone might actually get help.
Now, I am going to pile my hair back up on my head as usual and go for my walk.

Definitely a public service. Good for you for being a sport and helping out.

As a friend in Memphis used to tell me, "You clean up right good!"
Seriously- fine work.
Now maybe in the next one of the husband was made up like a zombie with a rash...
Just kiddin'- I so enjoy reading CD every day.
lowandslow - It was fun. I think.
Waldo - Hmmm...I haven't brought up the zombie idea yet. Interesting. :)
Those who have seen you as a schoolgirl with golden brown hair parted in the middle and cascading plait(s),may not recognise you now.
I think I would have leaked, trying to get through this shoot. Giggles must have been aplenty.
You are a brave and beautiful woman!
How about a short feature: "Zombies on a Joggling Board"?
Brave and Beautiful - good combo, Joan. Although if they were showing you rashes on the street after your last commercial shoot, heaven knows what you'll be shown now!
Brave and crazy maybe. Who knows how this will go.
You look great, Joan! I miss seeing you and hope you are doing well!
