Edible underwear

Making a movie is fun. Surreal fun. There was always a gag in the script, going waaaay back to earlier drafts, about people getitng the munchies and only being able to eat edible underwear. We sent Derm (the actor playing Boris, and all round lovely bloke) to buy some. He came back with forty pounds worth. Considering our entire budget is £200, that was a serious dent. We hadn't expected him to buy that much, but dammit, if the scene didn't look well.

A shocking array of underwear, male and female thongs, bras, handcuffs and even suspenders (including clips and ribbons) were all there. Remember those little candy sweets you got on a string bracelet things. Like those, only bigger. Huge in fact. They tate awful and there's no way you could ever eat the whole thing, or anything approaching it in less than about four hours. The actors complained the whole way through, because they tasted so bad.

The next few days however, they could be foudn randomly picking up the edible underwear and eating it. Two days later. Not even kept in a box. Nibbling on a man thong. Shudder.

I'm still not sure why Derm felt we needed to have three large tubs of nipple arousal gel. There's no call for it in the scene. But who am i to judge.

PS, yes, a worrying amount of the "props" went walkabouts after the scene.
