I am back.
Arrived back home yesterday during the evening and I was way too tired to post anything. Here I am, so let's tell you what happened.
In short, I've been called at the very last minute to be part of a famous Italian TV show, called '
Ciao Darwin - L'anello Mancante', and had to travel to Rome on purpose
. The show is about evolution; in a funny and ironic way, two teams perform some kind of 'match' and the one which wins will give its 'features' to the evolution process. In the end, we'll have two characters, both male and female, built in different ways, depending on which team wins every week.
This time, the two teams featured the '
Madri di Famiglia' [mothers and housewives] and the
'Trasgressive' [Alternatives, 'out of the schemes']. Guess which was mine ;)
***************************
report follows ;)
***************************I left to Rome on wednesday at 5.30 AM and arrived [by train] in the city at 1.20 PM. Thanks to Attilio who came over, picked me up at the trainstation and took me by metro to Cinecittà. Over there I met some other pretty girls. We had a lazy afternoon, getting ready, having interviews with producers and dressed/makeupped for the rehearsal.
Some girls also had some rehearsal for their own specialty, such as singing, dancing or the sexy runway. Surprisingly, the 'general rehearsal' lasted way less than I expected. We met the presenter of the TV show,
Paolo Bonolis, very funny and professional. I liked the organization, even if there were some really blank moments in which you could just get deadly bored ^^°. Chitchatting was for sure a good solution. I then met the beautiful
Lakme, the super
Grace, our artist
Amira, Carol,
Rayma [who I bet was the youngest there :)], the gorgeous
Sadik Angels Sapphiria and
Daemonia, the sex bomb
Yvonne O'Neill.. and how not to mention the supersexy and sweet
FetishDea [who actually was our team leader]? I also had the chance to meet and talk to some girls that are better known for being sex -or hard- stars [I guess some of you know at least Luana Borgia, Lea di Leo]. All of them were really sweet, beautiful and nice. Guess I will mention some more names in the future; each team counted 50 girls + their team leader and the godmother and, as you may guess, it's somehow difficult to list them all without making the post look like a shopping list :)
We had tons of fun even if we were so damn tired, after a whole day traveling. So we finally arrived in the hotel after the rehalsal, threw our bags in the room, had dinner [which was pure fun, and we all decided that the hotel guys weren't able to cook anything too tasty over there :P], complained about being banished in the hotel [which was located in the Middle of Nowhere], went to bed and *clever idea* talked till 00.30. Ouch.
The day after we woke up, had breakfast and left right after lunch to the Studios. We were supposed to have some more rehalsal and get dressed. I have been proposed for a runway named 'Blind Date', tho I wasn't very happy of performing an underwear defilé and the choice fell on a cute redhead [who actually was totally gorgeous during the runway, I advice Italians to watch Ciao Darwin next tuesday, this episode is really worth it :)]
It's around 6 that we all started getting our ass off serious makeup and clothing. The outfits were fantastic, some makeups were just the best! I was in awe staring at couple of Drag Queens who looked simply breathtaking, Yvonne looked tremendously sexy.
As for the other girls, a special mention goes to Carol who was stunning, with a great bodypainting on [she also performed runway, so you can see her on TV very well! :)] and Simba was looking gorgeous with her leopard bodypainting. Both paints were made by
Arturo Corinto - such a great artist. There was also a great stylist whose name I can't remember [sorry Doll!] and I can't forget to mention my 'seat neighbour' who was a stunning blonde-and-blue-eyed girl to die for.
So well, all dolled up and ready [my outfit was burlesque-gothic-ish :D] we went to the studio for the recordings. There were quite a lot of spectators waiting for the show to begin and a long night to go.
Our godmother was the extremely beautiful and cute
Eva Henger. Before entering the studio and starting the show, she had a little conversation with us on top of the stairs and she surprised me for being so nice and, well, for not behaving like a diva. Not that she ever gave me that idea but still, you're pleased when you see people being simple and nice and you appreciate it way more than having to deal with divas for sure.
So we entered the studio and in that moment I seriously had to root for me and for the other 6 girls that were wearing 7/8 inch heels platforms, as we had to walk to our seat after walking up and down on the stairs. Gladly, nobody fell down and we survived :P
The rest of the show, deliciously presented by
Paolo Bonolis and
Luca Laurenti , is what you will see on TV; I apologize already for all of us being annoying during the other team performances, but we just
had to thumb down. Nothing personal, it's the rule. It worked the same way with the other team and us ^^°. And no, I can't tell you who won or any similar taster - just expect a hell of an episode! It has been hard for people in the studio to keep the audience silent and behaving, ahah!!!
At around 3AM everything was over, we went back home [who lived close to the city] and hotels to get some rest. The day after [4.5 hours later..] I was one of the first ones to wake up and leave. I'm sorry I could not say goodbye to everyone, but it wasn't the case of knocking random doors, waking up people just to say goodbye :P. I will manage to find you all someway :) and send me pics if you have any! :)
So no photosets guys. I left for the TV show only and I had no time to do anything else. I was planning meeting some friends from Rome, but I sadly couldn't make it. Next time, next time, I'm sure I will come back, don't worry :D. Also, big thanks to Grazia and Marco who supported me A LOT during my stay :)
So well, I advice you to check
Ciao Darwin next week. Just tune on Canale 5 on tuesday 16 October at about 21.10 :) .. and let me know what you think about it!!! I am very looking forward your comments :)
