I have to admit, I did like the touch that was added when she first started to hide the growth. That seemed to fit the whole mind set of Veronica.
Finally, I like the opening song choice for the film. It is one of my favorite songs but it would have been better if the Concrete Blond version was used.

Trying to tear clothes off someone who hardly hardly weighs in triple figures is amazingly difficult. Her acting was a reflection of her mood. She was excited to do a growth clip but after several hours of getting her clothes slowly removed with various sharp instruments she got super pissy and walked off. She was getting paid good money and by the hour. Pretty much everything up until Taylor's return went as originally planned but from then on was shot after she was coaxed back into the shoot at the promise of even more money. At that point you have to just let the performer do whatever will keep her there so it became her take on how she was supposed to be acting vs mine.
Hence the change in tone and in plot pretty much(and the comical exit of the costar or the reduced focus on the clothes destruction in the second half). Taylor was supposed to leave the room again knowing something was weird but not catching on to the fact that Veronica was taller. She would piss her off some more before she left again of course. But I thought the idea of having to hide growth was pretty interesting to try and shoot.
I forgot there was a Concrete Blonde version of that song. I directed a short documentary of the songwriter years ago and was a fan of his for years before that. The song thats behind the "TaylorMadeClips" intro is his too.
