Pepsi Co. annual bottlers convention

The Pepsi Co. annual bottlers convention held in Dallas, Texas September 2007 was a who's who of celebrity personalities and Hall of Fame athletes. The Makeup Room was high energy but the buzz wasn't from quaffing Mountain Dew. Oscar Winner Forest Whitaker, Daytona 500 winner and NASCAR driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., who announced Wednesday his new sponsor and car number, comedian Darrell Hammond of Saturday Night Live, Hall of Famer Franco Harris, our favorite game show host, Bob Barker, Olympic Gold Medal winner Jim Craig, Dallas' favorite dancing athlete, Emmitt Smith and Roger Craig with an arms length list of NFL records created the buzz in the makeup room. Celebrity makeup artist Penny Sadler was on call and what a suprise! Sadler said she was expecting the usual corporate execs and had no idea of the high profile talent on hand for the event. You never know who was going to sit in your chair. Jockeying for position in the makeup room was almost as intense as a pro game as one all star after another sat for their “powder and anti - shine.”
