Hello, and welcome to Fat Mascara. What's up? I'm Jess. What's up, everyone? I'm Jen. Hi. Welcome to our beauty podcast. Happy summer. How's it going? It's hot. It's where he came for the weather. Sorry.

I just say to you, though, as we came on, I was like, I don't think my hair has ever been frizzier. There's so much moisture in the air here in New York City. Like it's been raiding nonstop, but it's also 90 degrees that I have like very full hair. It's

so tree. The weather is so tree. It's very sensual and so tree. Oh, are things central over at the Madeline households? I went out for a walk last night, and I was like, I came back. I went by myself and I came back. I said, Jeff, I said, you got to get out there. I said, it is very sensual outside.

Oh, I like that. That's a new rebrand for muggy. Yeah. You guys, the weather's not muggy and humid. It's sensual.

It's moisturized. It's plump. I like a hyaluronic acid just in the air. It's chewy. It's chewy. I'm trying to find the silver lining.

Anyway, if things are out, things are can't be speak. Things are right.

Things are all right. I've been out and about. I hung out with some beauty people this week. I ran into your wedding makeup artist, Daniel Martin.

Oh, that's right. He had a big advantage.

I don't think he was, he just happened to be at the venue. I was, I don't think he was hosting or anything.

But you know, we ended up talking about with him and some other beauty makeup artist. I was talking with this sag strike.

I had not even connected the dots that all of our makeup and hair friends that service Hollywood and that are part of movies and television. The guests that we've had on

are sort of out of work until these strikes. And as you know, the writers in Hollywood are on strike. I talked about that with a guest earlier this summer.

But now the actors are as well. We see you. We hear you. We feel for you in solidarity to all of our beauty friends that are in Hollywood because I know this is tough on them too.

Yeah, I would love to hear from some. If you are, I know we have a lot of listeners who are in the industry. I'd love to hear how this is affecting them.

Well, it's funny. I was out to dinner. I went to go see back to the future of the musical. My really good friend, her boyfriend is a producer. So she was so nice. She organized a group trip for us to all see it.

And I was across the table. We had dinner before from somebody who works in Long Island City. Long Island City is New York. And that is where she was explaining like so many studios are like television studios are.

So she works for like Long Island City, like the tourism board. That the tourism. She's going to like kill me when she shares this. But like the not tourism, like the city, like making sure everything is like the growth of the town. And I don't know. I'm not explaining it well.

She was saying how everything is like shut down because there are so many television studios there. And she was explaining just like everything from like the coffee guys to the lunch places. And like, yes, the drivers.

Yeah, everything. The craft services. And of course the beauty. Exactly. Exactly. And it's none of the shows. One of the makeup artists was telling me it's like the press because if this if you're on strike, you're not going to do your press tour for whatever movie that may be.

He's already out. And they get hired, of course, to do the doing go. I love when I learned that a doing go for makeup.

Oh, I just learned that the other day that's so fun. Like we've we've talked about that on the podcast before we had a makeup artist on who kept saying it as if we knew what it was. But like do and go. Instead of a photo shoot that's all day where they're there touching you up. It's like, they're going to do it. And you go.

And do and go. Is it do and go. I'm going to try to incorporate that in my daily life. Like, as I'm going to do when you go, we'll find a way. It's like, it's like, you know, when you go to like a party, it's like, I'll do a drive by. Yes, I'm going to do it and go. I'm going to eat and go. Well, as the daughter of a union boss. Shout out.
