This is a cute interview for Lorensworld.comon my personal assistant Jaci also know as ‘Ms. Backup Plan.’ As promised, I’m doing my best to give you as much behind the scenes footage as possible, access to my world, and the people who help me make all of this happen! Hope you enjoy the interview.
Ms.BackUp Plan Jaclyn Ingeman: Personal Assistant
1. What is your day like during convention? What time do you wake up and what to you go to bed? Loren’s hair and makeup usually starts around 7:30 a.m., so I like to be up and ready by 7:00 a.m. Once I know she is up and settled with hair and makeup and doesn’t need anything immediate from me, I then go to get her clothes and shoes ready for the day. I also make sure to grab her computers, (she carries 2 and an iPAD), chargers, paperwork and anything else she might need throughout the day. I will then follow her over to the coliseum with her hair and makeup team where she then gets a touch up. For the remaining part of the day, I just follow her around to make sure she has everything she needs (i.e. flip flops, shoe inserts, cell phones etc.) Once the convention is over for the day, we head back to the hotel grab dinner and I start to prepare her stuff for the next day while the MA team is tweaking their presentations for the next day. I usually end up heading to bed anywhere between 12 and 2am.
What are some essential tools you must have inside your bag for Loren? Flip flops, hair clips, shoe inserts, first aid stuff, phone charger, vitamins, water bottle, emergency sewing kit and double sided tape.
How do you keep organized and calm during days of chaos? I just try to think ahead as much as I can and have things ready. Luckily this will be my 4th huge MA event between Miami and NC, so I am finally getting the system down.
How do you handle last minute emergencies? I just try to think ahead and think of quick and easy solutions.. luckily there is a huge team working together trying to make sure everything goes smoothly.
Who or what are you looking forward to seeing during convention? I really to love to see how crazy excited all the people are to see Loren and JR. especially if they walk the promenade during lunch. I’m also excited to see Loren introduce her new partnership on stage with HSN’s CEO Mindy Grossman.
