Stephen Harper
On March 11, 2011 - Canada's Prime Minister, Stephen Harper took over the CityTV Building when he appeared on Breakfast Television. When I say took over, I mean took OVER!!!
The morning began with security scoping out the building, hours before he even arrived. They checked every floor of the building, every exit to the building, basically getting to know the building. The station was crawling with them.
Then there was a knock on the makeup room door. A very official guard asked for permission to enter the room. He pulled out this device that seemed to be a detector of some sort. He then proceeded to INSPECT EVERYTHING...every drawer, every cabinet, every closet, the bathroom, every nuck and cranny, he even inspected UNDER the makeup counter. Just when I thought he was done, he turns to me to ask what makeup I was going to be using on the Prime Minister! I showed him and he examined that TOO!!!! What he was looking for, I have NO CLUE!
After he was done, 2 more men entered the room. One stood guard at the door in the hallway and the other was assigned to sit in the room with me! After my questioning the 2 men about what they were doing babysitting me, I learned that they were police officers and they were stationed with me because apparently before the Prime Minister enters a room, there must be an armed guard already in it! Well, you learn something new everyday!
Stephen Harper finally arrived (with 3 more armed guards) and he reached out to shake my hand. He sat down and I started to do his makeup. I didn't get a chance to say much, because the whole time he was in my presence, the guards were holding him in conversation that I just had no business joining in on. LOL!
After I was done his makeup, I was asked if they could have the makeup room to themselves to talk in privacy. So I left! I learned from the guard in the hallway because the room was searched thourghly that means the makeup room was deemed safe, so that was a good holding place for him.
So, there's my experience with the one and only Prime Minister, Stephen Harper! It wasn't much of a makeup story, but it certainly was a good story! :)
