Be sure to tune in to the premiere of the new TV Land sitcom Happily Divorced tonight, Wednesday, June 15th 10:30/9:30c. The show stars Fran Drescher (The Nanny) and is based off her life with her real ex-husband. My sister Melissa Kosar has been working on this show as a director-in-training since the pilot episode WHICH AIRS TONIGHT on TV Land!! Plus, she will be in front of the camera in tonight's pilot episode as a background actor at the concert scene sitting just two seats away from Fran!
Here is Melissa with Fran Drescher, and Melissa's mentor Lee Shallat Chemel who directs this sitcom, among many others:(picture taken by G. Lurssen)

I had an early call time yesterday morning at 3:30am for a very interesting and fun job: 8 face-paintings for Blue Chip Marketing Worldwide for a guerrilla marketing campaign throughout the hot spots in Chicago promoting Blue Bunny Ice Cream which is new to the Windy City and is available at Jewel. Eight improv actors from Chicago's Second City were wearing giant Blue Bunny Ice Cream carton heads created by limebarb.com and roaming various locations in Chicago spreading the word at Navy Pier, Lincoln Park Zoo, Water Tower Place, Wrigley Field, Ogilvie Transportation Center, Millennium Park, and other places in Chicago. One of the characters even got on NBC morning news! Each face-painting took about 30 minutes.
Here are the two NBC 5 News Clips (He totally startled the news anchors in the first clip!!):
Below are some pictures from the face-painting applications. I hope to get pictures of them in action on location soon. (Click images to view larger)
