Movie Stars Are Just Like Us … Sometimes! – Part III
7 Comments July 10, 2009 / Posted in UncategorizedThis is third part of my continuing blog post series, Movie Stars Are Just Like Us. In case you missed the first two posts, you can access them here: Movie Stars Are Just Like Us – Part I and Movie Stars Are Just Like Us – Part II. While movie stars are just like us when it comes to getting in their workout and eating right, sometimes we can’t help but be reminded that their job is a little different than ours.
When was the last time you needed to take continuity shots of your scary make-up days?
Hello all…thought you’d like to get a glimpse into on-set organization. Since we don’t shoot the scenes in sequential order, the hair and make-up department has to take continuity photos to remember how I need to look in various scenes. As you can yell…I get my butt kicked at one point and have to have varying degrees of wounds:
1. Clean face
2. & 3. Post fight
4. Bruise fading
Kind of crazy, huh?
Xxx,

All my girls know to take their Valslides with them no matter where they go!
Hello all! I finally managed to take a picture of myself with my favorite piece of workout equipment! It took about a million takes to get it right because I had just come in from a run and my face was all red and sweaty and not-so-cute…but MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! I was aiming for a “Valerie Knows Best” face, but I might have failed…
Xxx,
R.
– Oh Rach, you always look cute! Love, Val
See, we aren’t the ONLY ones who need coffee & make-up at 5 am.
This is what I look like at 5am while getting my make-up done; tired, in need of a gallon of coffee, and desperate for a facelift! Bah! On some days my face just won’t wake up!
Xxx,
R.
-- God bless make-up! Love, Val
I’d just like to give a BIG thank you to Rachel for giving us a glimpse behind the bright lights and “glamour” of being a movie star. It’s not always easy to do your workouts and make good decisions when it comes to eating, but when you have the right intentions and the right motivations, all the other pieces seem to fall into place – no matter who you are!
Rachel always looks hot.
Love your behind the scenes posts. I forgot to tell you, I’ve noticed my butt is changing too. Booyah!
Sheila
Thanks Sheila! I love that you notice your butt changing because of the Valslides.
Val
LOL .. I wish I looked that good at 5am … hehehe
Someone send me one here in Manila!
I’ll be your online project down in asia! 
haha nice working Val!! 
I have a question about the $57, I Want My Bikini Body (standard) program. I already have all of the equipment and I have the Red Carpet Ready book and everything. If I get that, what exactly does it include? Is it a PDF of exercises and photos like the RCR? Or is it all on DVD’s showing each exercise and sequence? What is the difference from RCR? Thanks.
Hi Marisa,
You will have access to the bikini body workouts which you will download (it’s a PDF), on-line videos of me explaining lots of stuff, recipes and the diet. The program is really working for lots of people. I love these workouts.
Val
I am considering purchasing the deluxe kit. I do not have carpeted work areas. Does the valslide work on timber floors or is there an additional cover i need to purchase.I am relatively new to your site. Would i be best tp purchase the red carpet ready or the Bikini body kit. Also i do not always have access to a computer, is it possible to get a hard copy reather than the pdf?
I look forward to your response. Thank you
