When shooting a movie or TV show does the director make sure that a woman’s nipples will be equally hard for every shot and angle? How do they make sure the woman’s nipples will be equally hard for each shot and angle? Do they use ice or maybe some type of electronic device? What if it it is decided that the woman’s nipples should be slightly hard, how do get a nipple half erect? Will a director cut a shot if a woman’s nipples become hard durinf a shot? What would he/she say to woman explaining why the shot was cut? ---

Porn films supposedly have fluffers for the male stars, maybe there are nipple fluffers for the females, or do they have to rub there own nipples. ---

Well I’m not looking for a job, but I could use the extra income. I volunteer to be a nipple fluffer. ---

For scenes where the nipple is noticed through clothing, they could use artificial methods to perk or flatten. I’ve seen advertisements for products that do the latter and were marketed to business women who would rather be a participant than a thermometer. ---

Unconfirmed probable Hollwood urban legend is that on the set of _Welcome Back, Kotter_ the actress who played Gabe Kaplan’s wife was nicknamed “Bullet” due to inconveniently-timed nipplage, as in, every time they pointed a camera at her, pow! Supposedly, gaffer’s tape was employed to keep things reined in. ---

Heh, my roommate my sophomore year was a gaffer’s tape fanatic and always raved to me about how useful the stuff is. I guess he was right. ---

I’ve heard that about other actresses. Sounds UL’y. Marcia Strassman (sp?) was in stuff besides Welcome Back, Kotter, FWIW. ---

Wasn’t there a site selling phony nipples that you put in your shirt to make yourself look uh…perky? ---

Anone remember Patty Davis’s spread in Playboy? She had these incredible nipples that looked like you could hang your hat on 'em. Dana Carvey had em too. I always wondered if they were some kind of prosthetic that they use to make above-average looking women look terrific. ---

Semi-confirmation: I remember reading this in, I think, a Playboy interview with the actress in question. Or at least some actress connected somehow with “Welcome Back Kotter.” ---

I always wondered if they were some kind of prosthetic that they use to make above-average looking women look terrific. Dana Carvey? The SNL alum? Even if you didn’t mean him but instead some hot chick that shares his name, I now have that mental image seared into my brain and it’s not going to go away any time soon. A pox on your house. A pox!
