July 10th - our first day on the set was very exciting ! We didn't have to be there until @ 1:00. Rachel got her own trailer, complete with a toilet, sink, mirror, TV, VCR, CD player, a couch and of course a star on the door !
Rachel was in wardrobe, so we had to make sure we kept her clothes covered and clean. She and Salvi both love pasta and strawberries with sugar. We've also discovered they both have an affinity for ranch dressing as a condiment on lots of different food.
Finally it was time to shoot the scene. The kids come out of their apartment with their Dad, girl in her underwear comes out , Dad pushes the kids down the hallway, girl argues with the philandering dentist , kids and Dad poke their heads back around the corner to see what is going on, dentist drags girl back into their apartment, end of scene.
Then the kids and their Dad had to change for their next scene in the hallway. This scene takes place after the family has had a food fight and the Dad is dropping the kids off at a neighbor. The actual food fight isn't being filmed until the end of July, so they had to get covered in pasta and ketchup. So to everyone's delight ( especially Francesco's, Salvi's and Rachel's), they went out in an alley with a big pan of pasta and some bottles of ketchup and had a blast !
We went to another trailer for hair and makeup. Her makeup consists of sunscreen - only. They said she has the right coloring so she doesn't need any makeup - just a natural beauty : ) Her hair needs a little more work - it always needs to be straightened and then she has some pulled back in a little black clip. And she always has to remember to return the clip at the end of the day to Hair so they have it for the next shoot. After hair and makeup, she insisted on getting into her wardrobe for the first scene they were shooting that day.
We then met the actor, Salvatore, who is playing her brother, Luka, in the film. He and his mom, Michelle are both super nice and friendly and I am so glad we met them and will get to spend our days on the set with them. I remember them from the first audition. Salvi is very cute and looks like he could really be Rachel's brother - it's uncanny !
After lots of waiting around, it was time to go the set for their first rehearsal ! This first scene was the 2 kids coming of their apartment with their dad and they see a girl in the hallway in her bra and underwear arguing with her boyfriend, the philandering dentist. We got to the set and met their film dad, Francesco Quinn. He was very nice ( and handsome!) and great with the kids. The hallway was too small for us to watch the rehearsal and filming so they set up a monitor on the street for us Moms. It was fun to watch, but lots of standing around - I'm going to make sure I always wear very comfortable shoes to the set ! After much rehearsal, we broke for lunch - it must have been around 4:00 !

And after filming - the pasta and ketchup had dried - yuk !
Showers were all necessary before anyone got into any cars !!
We finally headed home @ 9pm.
Rachel LOVED her first day on the set and even though it was a long day, she was really looking forward to the next day on the set !
