DC

Washington is no doubt one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The last time I was there, I went on one of my epic walks --six  Hours!!! The city was so gorgeous I just found myself walking down streets, through parks, pastsed monuments. When I finally came to, I had walked all the way out to Chevy Chase. So this time around, as I headed out, I made a mental note that I had to control myself. I also brought my phone and some money, which is something I don't normally do, but realize too late that I might want to jump in a cab or maybe phone the hotel to ask them where I have waondered to. I rarely bring maps as welleither. I think I am just reacting off ofto having all my time being so overscheduled that I just for a brief period want the feeling of having no strings.

Day 1

I'm nervous, I didn't get in until 8:30 p.m. last night, and I begin tomorrow at 9 a.m. No chance to get used to the 12-hour time difference, but then I think maybe the 180-degree change will actually help. When you travel to Europe, it hits you mid-cycle in your sleeping pattern, and I think that maybe that's what really hurts. Anxiety is beginning to set in. It's a new crew with new producers and directors. The camera crew is Chinese but speaks some English. My stylist speaks no English. We have an interpreter for the first few days to help me communicate with her to say things like "more cheek color, please" or "I like brown eyeliner." We don't work in front of a mirror, so the first time I see my face is when she is all done. When she gives me the mirror, my face is something like I've never seen before.
