I Wore a Forever Lazy in Public

Posted by: Lindsay Ferrier    Tags:  CafeMom, I'll Take That Dare, Video    Posted date:  January 13, 2012  |  10 Comments



It’s time for the second installment of “I’ll Take That Dare,” and this episode is one of my favorites!

In it, I wear a Forever Lazy out in one of Nashville’s upscale shopping districts, with hilarious results. Check it out…

Some behind-the-scenes information on this one…

  • This was the first dare (of 12!) that we shot, so I was really nervous about whether I could pull it off. Luckily, it was much easier to humiliate myself in public than I had expected.
  • One of my rock-bottom moments (of all the dares) came when I lay down on the park bench and pretended to sleep. I lay there for about 5 minutes with my eyes closed while people walked by (the camera was hidden). The entire time, I was thinking, “Is THIS what my life has come to? Really?” I had to REACH DEEP for that one!
  • The guitar player was on a road trip through the US, and lives in New Zealand. He was sitting in the park with some friends and I asked him to write a song containing the words “Forever Lazy” and “back hatch.” He performed an entire song, and I wish so much that they’d left the line after the one in the video, because he sang something about the backhatch being perfect for when you “go places and something unexpected happens.” I nearly lost it at that point when I was listening to it.
  • Also on the cutting room floor for this episode– a showdown between me and a girl in a Snuggie. Sad face. I’m going to lobby hard for a special outtakes episode at the end of this season!
  • If you like this episode, will you pretty please go to the YouTube page and hit the ‘subscribe’ button at the top of the video? That’s how YouTube measures whether its new CafeMom Studios channel is a success… and we all want more mom programming, right?

So, what do you think? Would YOU wear a Forever Lazy in public?

      Thank you, Kathy! It’s so freeing that the world now knows I’m bonkers- and I have nothing to hide! ;)

    Is the camera always hidden, or do some people know this is part of a show when they are reacting?

      It’s actually really cool, because the cameras they use now are Canons, so they look like still cameras and are very unobtrusive. The photographers can be standing at a short distance and filming and people around are completely unaware. I was miked and generally found that if I walked up to people and just started talking, the cameras would eventually move in and the people would just keep talking, even with cameras and a sound guy hovering around! So it’s a little bit of both, but mostly, people didn’t know they were being taped until we started talking to them and then it was on-the-spot and they didn’t have time to do anything but be honest. :D

    I sincerely hope you show these videos to these kids so they know how totally awesome their mom is. :-) I LOVE this. Even more than the Ke$ha one!

    I hadn’t heard of Forever Lazy before seeing this, and I’m so disappointed!  This would have been the perfect Christmas gift for several people I know!

  • Judy

    Your “easy access” comment cracked me  up!  

  • Erin Perry

    This is so hilarious! You are so funny and so brave to take these dares! I can’t wait for Friday

  • Laura Cooper

    That was priceless – if everyone could have as much fun with their work as you (and I know it is work) the world would be such a better place.  And I think the blue “Forever Lazy” looks great with you dark hair and eyes.

    I’d never even heard of a Forever Lazy until this post! I used to work shoots for Glamour when I was still in NYC, and we’d always have volunteers to go out and do embarrassing stunts to gauge the public reaction (I forget what the page is called now)–it was all really fun!
