Thanks for the support ladies!

The lights in our studio are a professional lighting set up that we purchased it from a teleprompter store and we have three on during filming. It wasn't a cheap investment but it was worth it for all the work we put them through =)

I love watching your videos! You make everything thing seem so easy! The backdrop is very colorful and catchy, too. Recently, you posted a picture under the "I'm Ready For My Close-up" entry. Could you please tell me what brand, type, and output, of lighting you are using? I am currently looking for lighting and your videos are cleanly lit. Beautifully done. Thanks Anne-Marie!

I read your article about molds and replied on your web page. But I thought I would list it here in case it didn't go through.
How about trying Acetone? Put in a spray bottle that doesn't melt and spritz it lightly first. I am a nail tech and that works to smooth things out.
Wear gloves too.
Maybe that will help.

A-M:

Thanks for adding your soapy inspiration article! I'm featuring it front and center at the website. I will begin to swap out member blogs in this way so that any of the 1,155 (as of right now!) people at the site can see the information you wish to share.

I am working on adding other ways to increase awareness of what members are doing. Any suggestions you have are always welcome!

Thanks,
dM
