Last week we got a call from a customer that MTV was filming her daughter as part of a reality show about the girls on her school’s Homecoming Court. They asked for permission to film her shopping for her dress here in Lorna’s!

After signing releases (and getting a few butterflies!) they filmed here Saturday morning. Two things stood out in the experience: 1) Reality shows really aren’t totally reality. They do things like, “Okay, let’s go back outside and film your entrance again…” And 2) You actually do kind of get used to the camera and start to act like yourself – which can be a good or bad thing!

After filming for 1 1/2 hours, I asked the producer, “Now with all you’ve filmed here, you’re probably going to only use, what? Maybe 15 seconds?” She agreed that that was actually pretty accurate. They have to condense and make a show from many hours of footage gained from following five girls for two weeks. Let’s hope Lorna’s makes it in the show which should air either December or February!
