Episode 6 - Everyone's A Critic

​Once again, Matchbox pictures flew me into Sydney over the weekend to film for this episode sometime late last year. On the call sheet, we were asked to wear the exact same outfit (why I don't know) that we had on previously filming for episode two at the same museum.
Bloody Qantas had delayed my flight into Sydney from Melbourne TWICE on that day and I was so over it!! I was exhausted from all of the rescheduling of my flight on that morning. It was Matchbox which was so very kind to do all of the rescheduling on my behalf but I was still annoyed at having to cancel and rebook for my ride to Tulla. At the airport, it was the same bullshit with Qantas where they rescheduled AGAIN and so, I had to reluctantly sit amongst children running amok, screaming babies and disgruntled faces. I made do with passing the time trading goss and talking shit with Rudo as we waited and waited and waited. 
This time round, Matchbox put me up at the four stars "The Sydney Boulevard Hotel" in the CBD. Rudo and I often requested for rooms next to each other during our check ins at the hotel as we wanted to stay close to each other for safety reasons. At check in, I bumped into two other cast members who looked visibly shocked as they "examined" my face. It was the first time anybody on set had seen my face sans makeup. They ain't seen nothing yet, they should see my crazy hair and smell my morning breath, I thought. 😂😂😂 
I tried very hard to go to sleep that night but could not. I only managed to doze off at four in the morning and had to wake at five-thirty for my hair, makeup and wardrobe to be organized for a nine am call time on location. Grrrrrr. I was totally convinced that my room was haunted as I kept hearing strange noises that kept me up mostly through the night. I was also convinced that this haunted room was assigned to me on purpose by that stupid girl at reception as I had requested for a room next to Rudo and for a room that was not at the tail end of the corridor. (Demanding much?) 😂 This stupid girl with her sour face on, kept repeating to me like a broken record that the hotel was fully booked yada yada yada but just as I stood there and insisted on getting what I wanted albeit with a smile, she then suddenly, out of the blue allocated to me what I had asked for! Little did I think there and then that she had given me a room with a resident ghost!! That bloody bitch!! 
Needless to say, this trip flying up to Sydney was totally exhausting as it was two full days of filming at two different locations there, and then I had to continue filming for the other TV series "Glam Life" immediately upon my return, the day after!! XOXOX
