Face Painter Discovered Online Becomes a Star on CBC

Hi Philadelphia and fellow face painting enthusiasts!

I just wanted to write to you and share a funny thing that recently happened to me. About two weeks ago, I received a voice mail message from a television show called Living Montréal that is shown on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). They wanted to know if I’d be interested in taping a show about face painting to teach mothers how to do three simple designs for Halloween. Of course I called back immediately and accepted!

A week later I was in downtown Montréal getting ready to tape the segment for the show. From 5:30pm until 10:30pm I got to learn all about the secrets of television. What a learning experience! Every movement, every brushstroke and every swipe of the sponge had to be redone a million times from a million different angles!

The three children who were the models for the designs were so patient and wonderful! The oldest boy was ten and I painted him as a skull, the seven year old girl was a butterfly and the four year old was transformed into a Dalmatian puppy.

I have to state that the designs I painted were not my most detailed or best work, as the point of the show was to show mothers easy designs they could do themselves at home.

What I found the most amazing about the entire experience was the fact that the show found me through my free online web ads. They cost me nothing to post and they really work! What is also really great is that the show will be posting my contact information on their website for a year.

Talk about free advertising!

If anyone is interested in watching the show it will be aired during the week before Halloween at 3pm weekdays on CBC Montréal. As of yet, I do not know the exact dates, but I do know that the show will be shown in two parts, on two different days. After the show is aired on TV, you will be able to watch the segments on the Living Montréal website at the following link. http://www.cbc.ca/livingmontreal/

And so that was my big surprise! I cannot begin to express how excited and nervous I was to talk on camera, but as I became a little more comfortable, it was less and less difficult to explain and paint at the same time.

I cannot emphasize just how important web-ads really are. But as you can tell from my experience, it just goes to show what a little free advertising online can lead up to!
