The Paris Rider... and Throne

Can I get in trouble for posting this?

Also, pictured above is THE Paris Hilton throne. There's a story behind this. We were doing the second season of Paris Hilton's My New BFF (whoever watched the first one enough to prompt a SECOND season is beyond me). When she eliminates contestants each week, she sits on a throne.

This frickin chair... We bought it from a little antique store and the owner was an Orthodox Jew. Why do I know this? Because he was going to reupholster it but it needed to be done before Friday. So, finding pink fabric is actually very difficult. There really isn't a lot to choose from out there. Well, even though the budget didn't permit, my last resort was going to Silk Trading Co. They had recently done her mother's drapery. Of course they had the perfect pink silk... and ridiculously expensive.

The fabric wasn't approved until Wednesday night which meant we had to purchase it FIRST thing Thursday morning, run it over to the Jew, pick it up Friday morning and hire someone to drive it straight to set in Las Vegas where it will be shot on Saturday. And this is the day I discover my shopper has gone off her medication. She was supposed to be at STC at 9am sharp and for some reason, I couldn't get a hold of her. It's 10:30 and I finally have our art PA who was clear across town pick it up. And now I'm really worried about the shopper, it's 11am and this just isn't like her. I had my leadman run by her apartment just to see if she was... alive. She was. But my God, that chair nearly killed me.
