KBTV::The 'Hot' Shoot

I knew I was in trouble when Barry quietly suggested: “Kate, do you want to run downstairs and grab a towel?”

I was like, “A towel? You mean a paper towel?”

“No,” he replied. “A towel, towel.”

Oh no. Help!

At that very moment, I knew it. I looked like a big sweaty mess with Rasta-like, humid hair. I had a choice. If I went downstairs – I’m so OCD – I was certain I’d dart right in to “manic touch-up mode.” If I didn’t, I would just get stickier and frizzier.

Then I saw the drop of water hit my clipboard. It might have been a bead of sweat; it might have been a tear. At that point it was 109 degrees on the roof, and to me it just didn’t matter a whole heck of a lot which type of saline body byproduct had landed on my notes with a splat. It was time to go downstairs.

Twenty minutes later, I resurfaced on the roof – nice and coiffed and ready to shoot.

“It’s now about 120, kid.” This comment was not from Barry but from one of the three contractors – the roofer to be exact – who had apparently joined us on the roof to survey the water damage caused by the monsoon on Friday night.

“Kate, let’s go.” Barry was beginning to look like a damp wash clothe.

I took a deep breath and let it fly:

“Welcome to KBTVonline … Thanks for joining … today I’m broadcasting the first part of a two-part series exploring an idea that will turn the absolutely NO SUGAR diet mantra completely on its head. Think about all those different diet strategies and food plans over the years … the Zone Diet, the Atkins Diet, and even the South Beach Diet (just down the road) …HEY … I’m sure their spokespeople would argue this … but they all basically offer the same advice on how to get the perfect body: Less sugar, more protein! Then ta da…suddenly … you’re 30 pounds lighter!”

Barry sighed – deeply – looked up at the sky (read God) and barked: “And that’s a wrap!”

To be continued…
