~Brian’s point of view~
I stood outside the dressing trailor. I turned to the man with the video camera and in a strong southern accent said, “This is called the retro-cowboys-R-Us, AJ look alike!” I smiled, proud of the AJ insult. Turning around, I saw the costume manager. “This is the man right here!” I said pointing. “He’s the one that put me in this cornball looking outfit!”
Andrey just laughed.
“This is complaining to the video, like we’re having wardrobe changes!” I continued. I walked over to where Nick was standing.
“Nice afro man!”
“Like your one to talk?” Nick asked. He looked distracted.
“What’s up? You’ve been acting weird all day?”
“I’m thinking about asking Heather out.”
I smiled. We all knew it was only a matter of time. “What’s stopping you?”
He shrugged. “I just… haven’t found the right moment, that’s all.”
Changing the subject, I said “Man, I feel like a corn cob right now!”
“Isn’t that how everyone from Kentucky dresses?” Nick wondered.
“Oh shut-up!” I responded, glad that he at least made a joke.
That’s when the camera man found me once again.
“Man!” I put my hand up to Nick’s hair, “Look how tall he is with his fro!”
I laughed at his green jacket. This wasn’t a video, this was like public humiliation in these clothes!
Finally, the camera left us, and decided to pick on someone else: Howie and AJ.
“Hey skipper, where we going today?” AJ asked in his blue hat, white framed sunglasses, plastic blue jacket, and blue pants.
“Yo Gilligan, weez goin back to the islands.” Howie anwsered.
AJ held up his hand, “Word.”
Later Howie took off his jacket, and pretended to be modeling. As the camera was faced to him, I said, “Howard! Censor!” in a “gay” voice, and took my hat off and got between him and the camera.
“Okay, guys, get inside. We have a video to shoot,” Fatima told us, still laughing.
“Man, we were just starting to have fun!” I complained with a grin.
Each of us had a few shots. I pretended to be shooting off a gun and fell backwards, AJ had a chair and pretended that he was driving…
There was also a clip with us in different weird clothes. I had gum in by mouth blowing bubbles, a blue shirt, and AJ and I were doing part of the dance we’d learned. Erin didn’t stop laughing at me once.
