Windy City Live - And Cold, Part 2: Making Up Is Hard To Do

...Continued from yesterday:

​     Windy City Live is a popular Chicago daytime talk show broadcast on ABC and filmed Monday through Friday in front of a live audience.
​        Hosts Ryan Chiaverini and Val Warner interview guests, 

​​...celebrities such as Kevin Hart, Martha Stewart, Valerie Jarrett, Jimmie Kimmel, Rosie O'Donnell, and Michelle Obama,

...among others, or people of interest such as they found my daughter Claire to be for her disaster relief work as a nurse among the most vulnerable populations on the planet.

     Claire's Windy City Live interview was on Thursday, January 24 and, as she was told she could bring her mom along, I came with her.
       Claire had been directed to arrive at the studio with her make-up done.
       Except that she doesn't wear, or own, any make-up.
       Therefore she decided for the occasion to have her make-up done before the show. For this purpose she made a 10 am appointment at an Ulta Beauty salon in Wicker Park, a couple of train stops away from her Logan square neighborhood.
         At 9:30 am on the morning of the show Claire and I, duly layered, booted, and bundled up, set out in the 14-degree weather to walk to the train station and join the rest of the layered, booted, and bundled up Chicago commuters on their way to their morning destinations.

​    When we reached ours, the Division train stop, we walked a few more blocks,

...to the Ulta Beauty shop,

...where Claire was led back to the make-up salon and introduced to A.J., her very nice make-up artist.

      Claire's make-up job took about 45 minutes and, for a make-up illiterati such as myself - I haven't worn the stuff in forty years - it was rather mesmerizing to watch.

​       Ta-da!

     Claire needed to be at the TV studio by noon so, her make-up done, we re--bundled up and headed back out into the cold, windy city to catch a train downtown,

...to the theater district,

​...and the ABC studio.
