Halitosis Hazards
I've come across models and other shoot-personnel with severe halitosis and body-wretch and I wonder....how the HELL can people NOT know their breath smells as if they've just eaten Reese's Feces? Instead of requiring that a model sit still while a stylist or MUA with shit-breath works on her, or a stylist or MUA having to sit and smell the piss-stench of raunchy model, what's a polite way to get the point across? My normal strategy would be to say, "Who in the HELL smells like ass?" I'm not too subtle. Maybe off them a pack of gum? Raid as breath spray? Oct 06 06 04:45 pm Link Ok, ok! I promise never to leave the house again! Although I'm curious.. How did Reese Witherspoon get involved in this? Oct 06 06 04:47 pm Link I've had this happen only once. It did not come through in any images, so the model's anonimity is assured. What about the opposite, a model that smells especially good? Oct 06 06 04:53 pm Link I always have a couple of packs of gum out on the food table. There has only been one instance where I really wanted to tell the model that she could use a few sticks of gum. Body stench!? You must be working with a different breed of models. Oct 06 06 04:58 pm Link Wow. I smoke and I usually pop in some gum or mints when I have a makeup artists working on me. I guess people arent very aware of themselves! Also, every time Im working with models on a show, I send out a message to them all to come showered. And part of that info says, if you dont smell good, you dont look good! WOO! No stinky pretties! Oct 06 06 05:03 pm Link Only one or two came in smelling like the floor of the party. All the rest of the models always smell real pretty. Sometimes they spray perfume on while getting ready (which I KNOW doesn't affect the images) which encourages me to show them more images on the lil' LCD.

Oct 06 06 08:40 pm Link Honesty goes a long way , i once worked with a tattoo artist that had super bad breath( Most people cannot tell themselves) I told him and he went to the dentist , turns out he had a cavity but was unaware... he called me and thanked me ....

Body odor, someone smelled it a room away. Shoot was too quick to do anything about it. The week previous, I had to speak to someone who had breath so bad it made the whole area around him smelled. He had no clue, Well he did not know at the time but was aware. His response to gentle honesty in private was, Sorry, I will invest in body care after this, I have been smoking and drinking often lately. Tell them. Breath can be hard because sometimes people run out without brushing if they wake up late, Or brush, mint, wash then run to the shoot while eating onion and lox on a onion bagel. So by midday they stink. Do not forget the lights get hot. Some people do have mouth problems and some people are more sensitive to smell than others. People please wash, IT IS PART OF THE JOB. Mint gums are often more effective than mints when things are bad in the mouth. A spare toothbrush is important in a model bag or in the studio. As is a spare washcloth and some deoderant. Oct 06 06 09:03 pm Link oh, and if you got the gas, It happens to all and sometimes for reasons hard to figure out. Charcoal pills, Can be had from a health food store. They literally soak up the stink from within. Good stuff when you are on a trip and ate something that did not agree with you. Also remember if you drink, some chemicals stay in your body even if the alchol does not. Some of those things might add to your stink. Same with smoking cigarettes. Same with those who have animals. Even the same for those who eat foods not usual to the area or the peoples you are working with. Oct 06 06 09:09 pm Link Vegas Alien wrote: Ewww...! Oct 06 06 09:14 pm Link |
