In a somewhat successful attempt at recreating a scene from TV, we see a myriad of slime colors falling on its unsuspecting victims!
A young Ava (a college student at the time, making her WAM debut) gets slimed several times after Carrie suggests they try a bunch of different colors to see which ones look best on Ava. She goes from clean to green to blue to purple to orange to chocolate to white to green in a matter of minutes. Carrie gets pretty much half-slimed just by sitting right next to poor Ava, then gets a similar fate. Of course, both lovely ladies get pied towards the end. It's one of the messiest and most slime-intensive scenes out there.
I had been out running some errands that morning and wasn't sure what time the girls were going to arrive but Carrie arrived a little early, just as I was leaving the store. I hadn't heard from Ava yet so I was texting Carrie, telling her I was on my way and if she'd spoken with Ava.
Fortunately, Ava was a consummate professional even back in her younger college years; it's why she's a successful career woman today! Carrie texted me back and said Ava was there with her and they were chatting it up before I arrived. Upon arrival I greeted Ava with a firm handshake and she was excited to do this shoot. She'd been given vague details and had never been pied or slimed, but was very eager to try! Said she'd always found it fun and entertaining from seeing it on TV but never had it happen to her personally. Ava showed up ready to go and when I saw how excited she was to get slimed specifically, I changed the mess sequence of their second scene on the spot! Decided to go with the crazy slime-intensive scene inspired by 1982's skit with moose and Vanessa.
Tons of buckets used, tons of slime poured, and a variety of colors that covered poor Ava. She took it like a champ! Meeting Ava in our first shoot together was the inspiration to go all out with that slime scene, and I don't regret it! She was in touch with me over the holidays wondering when we could shoot again if our schedules allow, and we are planning another shoot later this year!
