The original version was 22 minutes long. The additional time comes from the inclusion of almost all behind the scenes material, and serves to illustrate that, no matter how well a shoot may be planned, it is unlikely to turn out as expected, even with just one girl. This uncertainty was increased by an order of magnitude by having eight women present. It transpires in the add-on sequence, where the girls are all using the toilet, that every one of them needed to pee to a greater or lesser extent, and yet, in the boardroom sequence, only two of them managed to let loose. The others, for one reason or another, could not do it. This is particularly surprising in the case of Nyxon (who peed for a very long time on the toilet) and an old hand like Jayne, but the presence of so many others really changed the dynamic. The BTS material shows how the story is being adapted on the fly to accommodate the necessary plot changes. Here particularly, Beverly demonstrates why she was selected to be the company boss; her ability to ad-lib loads of dialogue is truly amazing, given that she started with just a few paragraphs and an outline prepared by me. The one thing she would never be able to do, however, is to pee in front of everyone else, which is why she did not stick around for the afternoon shoot.
Original description: Beverly is the CEO of a fashion magazine whose profits have been falling, and she summons her staff for a stern dressing down in the board room. Bev's rant goes on and on and some of the ladies around the table would really like a visit to the bathroom, but given the mood the boss is in at the moment it seems unwise to mention it. As her desperation grows, Lola finally asks for permission to leave for a visit to the bathroom. Beverly delivers a scathing speech about how they are all acting up, pointing out that "there is no P in fashion!" As Lola tries to hold it, Tabitha is also clearly in trouble. As section heads, they have to set an example and must try to maintain control. Both women fail miserably, and Beverly is so incensed by their conduct that she dismisses them both. Seeing that others in the room are fidgeting, she tells them to take a break and visit the bathroom to "empty your tiny bladders!" while she keeps Jayne and Rachael behind to discuss their promotion to section heads. (We witness Madison, Danielle, Nyxon, Jynx, Rachael and Jayne all using the toilet at the end).
