+ VJ Survival Kit
You watch the VJs hopping around the MMVAs partying, mingling with celebs, presenting awards and announcing performances. Looks pretty easy doesn't it? We found out what our VJs must have behind-the-scenes to make sure the night goes smoothly.

A bag of trail mix and a pack of gum It doesn't matter if you're hiking the forest or the red carpet - gots to keep the blood sugar up so I can be charming and witty when I chat up the celebs. A group of mannequins That I can dress up as celebs so that I have someone to talk to. A ringing cell phone To get me out of any "awkward" mannequin situations. |

A Balaclava After eight and a half years of contemplating streaking - I may actually do it this year! Or, I may just chicken out - you gotta tune in to find out. Look for the naked guy with the chicken legs! |

Helmet In case I get elbowed - again. Proof that I work here Even the VJs have a hard time getting into the awards. I'm not kidding. Tissues My boobs don't fill out the top of my MMVA outfit. I'm still not kidding. |

Double-sided tape Works magic on a low-cut dress - no one wants to have an incident on live TV! Selective hearing The weirdest thing about doing interviews on the red carpet is trying to have a chat while throngs of people lining Queen Street are screaming in unison. Hearing what they have to say is out of the question, even though they're 10 cm from my face, so sometimes I use my spidey senses to make out what they're saying. Comfy high-heels No, it isn't an oxymoron. Considering the amount of running around I've done the past few years (but that's behind-the-scenes, you don't actually see me running on TV), I don't know why I don't just switch to sneakers. Who knows - maybe I will this year. |

Pure honey By the time I've finished all the rehearsals and extra-curricular stuff, my voice is toast. Last year I lost it on the red carpet. A fine producer ran and got me a bottle, saving my day... so honey fer sure. A wrangler Seriously. A wrangler is a person assigned to me for the entire evening. Their job is to make sure that I am in the right place throughout the show. I'm the kind of person that likes to watch the performances, talk with the peeps on the street and generally hang out and have a good time. Except when I do that, somebody is usually panicking because I'm not in my spot until the last minute. Kind of funny - unless you’re one of the panickers. A copy of the Holy Bible (King James Version) Because. Ok, well not really. I really only need a wrangler, some honey and an occasional drink of water. |

Eye drops For when I start crying because I'm freaking out over the Beastie Boys! Gum For those extreme celebrity close-ups - you can never be too prepared. Double-sided tape As hot as a girl’s dress may be, losing it could create problems. Cell phone Must be able to call peeps in case of emergencies and/or events that must be witnessed by others. The cell also provides a clock - which is very necessary to achieve appropriate fashionably late arrival to after-parties. |
