My Final Answer is incredibly candid and witty, commented Davis.
“If you don’t enjoy it, you are dead inside,” said Davis, who referred to one extract in particular that had her heaving with laughter.
Maggs writes: “There are two types of make-up artists: those who believe all one needs is a light dusting of powder to hide any shine. I work well with these individuals and they inevitably end up getting a small Christmas present. Then there are those who have a secret desire to be on a pioneering reconstructive surgery team and end up turning you into a drag queen. I struggle to work with this group and they normally get a perfunctory nod and a hard stare come Yuletide.”

DURBAN - IT IS expected to be an emotional farewell service for South African playwright, activist and author Sathieseelan Gurulingum âRonnieâ Govender on Monday afternoon.
Dr Govender, 85, died on Thursday. He was born in Cato Manor, Durban, and recently moved to Cape Town.
In 2014, the Durban University of Technology (DUT), awarded Govender an honorary doctorate in technology in arts and design, for his contribution to literature and the arts in general as well as his contribution to democracy, peace and justice in South Africa through theatre.
DUTâs interim executive dean for the faculty of arts, Professor Brian Pearce, said that over the years, students from the department of drama and production studies had produced plays that Govender wrote as directing projects. Pearce said these plays had been well received.
