BACKSTAGE SECRETS

Ellie is sitting in between Micky and Dan, Dan Williams.  Dan is a video technician in his early thirties.  He's married, but of course adores the opposite sex and he has had his eye on Ellie for several years!  Ellie, needless to say is not the slightest bit interested, but always enjoys playing up to him when they work together.  No harm in flirting now is there?  Besides which, Dan is extremely handsome, with a six pack to die for!  We all adore him, especially when he discards his top!

BACKSTAGE SECRETS

"I can't believe you just said that!" says Belinda, tears of laughter srill running down her cheeks.  Belinda is sitting on the other side of Mel. Belinda Edwards, the fun loving production assistant.  She's young, slim, blonde and oh so pretty.  We always call her by her full name and never shorten it to Bel.  A previous boyfriend once referred to her as 'Swell Bel' when she put on a little unexpected weight and from that day to this, she refuses point blank to be called Bel. 

The crew boys simply love Belinda, together with her partner in crime (and I stress here, 'partner in crime' relates to her working relationship, not sexual relationship), Ellie Harman.  Ellie is a real butterfly, extremely beautiful and full of life.  Belinda and Ellie have carved out a real niche for themselves as Production Assistants and they really are the best in the business.  Efficiency beyond, when sober of course!

BACKSTAGE SERETS

The cabin crew have completed their safety demonstration and are now walking through the plane checking passenger seat belts.

"Excuse me Madam, please could I ask that you tighten your seat belt?" asks one of the air stewardesss.

"Honey, not without liposuction I can't.  No!" comes an immdiate reply.  Each and every one of our crew bursts into laughter.  Tears are rolling down our faces, as many passengers turn around to see what all the commotion is about.

The stewardess blushes, but giggles too, not sure that she is being politically corret at laughing at a passenger's misfortune.  I am sitting next to Mel, Mel Arethusa, Show Caller extraordinaire!  Mel is one of the funniest girls on the conference circuit, with a sense of humour second to none, but always a true professional.  She is larger than life, in every sense!  Cuddly of mass proportions, kind and a very attractive girl and of course, crew just love working wth her and her never-ending wit.

BACKSTAGE SECRETS

I cringe just thinking about that trip.  I had to stay at the airport for another four hours until my luggage was redirected from Charles du Gaulle Airport - quite how it ended up in Paris I have absolutely no idea.  Then the battery went flat on my mobile and my purse was in my handbag, which yes of course, was in the hold too! Never again will I be parted from my beloved handbag.  I will fight to the death for it to be with me at all times, irrespective of how much the bloody thing weighs!
