Dandruff Commercial

Actress

All through the winter, right, I didn’t seem to have dandruff at all, then I went on holiday, because I know this married man, and his wife thought he was away working, blah, blah … usual thing.

So there we were, lot’s of sex and everything, sun – and I got really brown, and we’re lying on the beach one day, and John said, that’s not his real name, because he’s quite well known … and John said, ‘Hey, what are those white specks on your leg?’, and I look down, and I had all this terrible dandruff, all round the tops of my legs. Like really obvious with my tan – and it was like, you know bikini dandruff. Like really a turn-off for him, and it was a problem for me, because if I don’t sleep with him I don’t get my rent paid, anyway, so than a friend said, why not paint your legs white … and I said like, why don’t you mind your own business, ’cos I was, you know, fairly narked by this time.

Anyway – then another friend said why not try – dadah! – the new shampoo, your shampoo, and it was great, really fabulous – dandruff went by about third day, it left a few scars and rotted my pants but on the whole, I’m really pleased, yes…
