What You Didn't See

"You literally have about 45 or 50 seconds to touch her up [during a wardrobe change] — if you have a full minute, that's a dream. Someone is also pulling off a dress, or a zipper breaks, or something doesn't work, so I am basically holding her face still with one hand and then applying powder or blotting off sweat with the other. The funny thing is, you have to stay really, really calm — when the energy is going up, you have to go down and just chill. The best thing I can do is offer her zen vibes and usher her back out onto the stage."
