ZacHairspray: hi patricia! It's zac

MoviefoneTricia: hey zac

MoviefoneTricia: how's it going?

ZacHairspray: everything's great! finishing up over here

MoviefoneTricia: cool -- ready for me then?

ZacHairspray: absoLUTELY

MoviefoneTricia: cool

MoviefoneTricia: so are you a big IMer, or is this your first time?

ZacHairspray: i've been AIMing for quite a while. keep in touch with my close friends this way. so convenient



MoviefoneTricia: oh, definitely

ZacHairspray: my typing is a lil rusty

ZacHairspray: sorry, im working on getting a new pc

MoviefoneTricia: oh, i see -- what's wrong with the one you've got?

ZacHairspray: it got OLD. and there was soda in the keyboard. the space bar didn't work

ZacHairspray: all my aims looked like "heyhowsitgoinimissulikecrazy"

MoviefoneTricia: hahaha

MoviefoneTricia: oh come on

MoviefoneTricia: that's just an excuse, i know you really talk like that

ZacHairspray: lol



MoviefoneTricia: ok, so the movie

MoviefoneTricia: when you started making hairspray, how familiar were you with the original musical and john waters' film?

ZacHairspray: i had seen the john waters film... but not for a VERY long time. and i fell in love with the broadway show just after my first hairspray audition.

MoviefoneTricia: so did you get to see it on broadway, with harvey fierstein et al?

ZacHairspray: i didn't see harvey, but the cast was equally brilliant. hilarious

MoviefoneTricia: definitely. loved the broadway show (and the movie, too!)

MoviefoneTricia: your character had an elvis thing going on, which was a little different than previous incarnations

MoviefoneTricia: was that your idea?

MoviefoneTricia: or the director's?

ZacHairspray: a lil of both

ZacHairspray: one of my favorite things about the sixties is the emergence of rock and roll. who better depicts that than the man, elvis?

MoviefoneTricia: so did you have to do special hip-thrusting training?

ZacHairspray: actually i did. that part of your body isn't meant to move. I'm convinced

MoviefoneTricia: haha

MoviefoneTricia: i seriously just laughed out loud

ZacHairspray: you would have laughed harder if you saw me practicing
MoviefoneTricia: in front of your mirror, at home at night?

ZacHairspray: embarrassingly enough... yeah haha

MoviefoneTricia: hee, i love it. hey, so how long did it take to do your hair, with that little curl on the forehead?

ZacHairspray: it's amazing how much effort goes into that hair. it took a professional hair stylist a half hour to perfect

ZacHairspray: i can't imagine how hard it would have been to get it right in the 60s

MoviefoneTricia: can you do it yourself now, or would you need professional help?



ZacHairspray: i would need help for sure.

ZacHairspray: the stuff they used was like rubber cement.


ZacHairspray: tricky

MoviefoneTricia: damn
