My Trip to TSC (October 02 2012)

Picture 1: Me and Tanya Yanaky on the set right after the end of her show.  She's such a warm person.

Picture 2: Group shot in the cafeteria (me, Amy, Connie, Kellie, Katie, Anne, Betty-Jean and Renee).

Picture 3: Kellie, Anne and me behind the cameras watching Renee and Suzanne Somers during a live show.  Those steps are higher than they appear on TV.  It's almost a miracle that no one tripped on them and fell yet.  The steps' double color are helping the models a lot.

Picture 4: Me and Anne sitting behind the cameras and watching the live show with Renee and Suzanne Somers.  The center camera is a "robot camera" that is controlled by someone in the control room.

Picture 5: Me on the set with Renee and Suzanne Somers during the live show.  The very last thing you want to think about is you are seen coast-to-coast throughout Canada!

Picture 6: Anne, Kellie, me and Kathy in the dressing room where they change clothes and accessories for all the fashion shows.  There are nearly 50 pairs of shoes in boxes under the bench.  My feet are in front of one of those shoes boxes.  Someone can sleep on the bench between shows if needed.  You can see a white pillow between Anne and Kellie.

Picture 7: Kathy giving me a big hug with Kellie in the background.  Sandie Savelli took the picture.  We can see her reflection in the mirror.
 
Picture 8: Me in good conversation with Kathy.

Picture 9: Me talking to the models.  You can see Kellie watching me in the mirror.

Picture 10: This is the beauty model’s makeup room (Ojon, Nick Chavez, T3 hair care hairdryer, etc.).  The lighting is special.  What the models sees in the mirror after applying makeup, etc., is exactly what we see at home.

Picture 11: Another shot from the beauty model’s makeup room.  I’m with beauty model Lisette (Ojon, Cover FX and others).  I spoke a very long time with Lisette.  I will not be able to thank her enough for what she did for me.  She was so comforting and caring.  She found the right words and the way to boost my spirit very high.

You can’t imagine how cold it is in that room.  I’d say it was below the freezing point.  Lisette was in this room between 2 shows and she had to wear a hot sweater.  The white dish you see (bottom right) is a very directional heating device and it was oriented toward Lisette because the room had to stay cold.  That’s how cold it was in the room.

Picture 12: Me giving a kiss to Renee on the set during the live show with Suzanne Somers.

Picture 13:  Anne and me in the kitchen where they do all the cooking shows.  The black square in front of us is actually a stove and it really works.  They can cook or heat something on it.

Picture 14: Shauna, Sandie Savelli, me and Amy in the cafeteria.

Picture 15: Me, Sandie Savelli and Norm Murray in the cafeteria.  I want to thank Sandie (as well as Anne).  They were so nice and dedicated.  They constantly asked me if there were something I wanted to see and they brought me there.  I felt like a king!   Sandie is the sweetest thing!  Norm is among the top 5 nicest men I’ve ever met in my whole life.  I enjoyed each and every second I spoke with him.  It was such a great pleasure talking to him.  Thanks for everything Norm.  I appreciate it a lot.

Picture 16: Me and Sandie Savelli (with a Genie Bra in her hands!) where she stores her Genie Bra displays between shows.

Picture 17: I saw her last but it was the highlight of my visit.  We were on our way to a good restaurant and it happened that we were close to TSC.  So Jason (Marianthe Mesbouris’ husband) had the sudden idea to do a little detour and stop at the TSC sign in front of the building.  He stopped the car, we almost ran to the sign, Red and me took a place on each side of it, Jason took the picture and we got out of there presto back in the car! 

We actually saw several persons looking at us from the TSC windows (I think Sandie Savelli was one of them) all wondering what on earth we were doing there!!  I’m almost surprised no one called the police!

Picture 18: Marianthe and me as we were leaving the restaurant after the meal.  I was totally beat but incredibly happy and contented beyond words!
