Reaching Out

The shoot last night went well! James (the male model) was very sporting. Unfortunately, the photographer completely missed the bit that said "bondage" and focused on "happy couple" so there were no handcuffs involved.

However, there IS raffia string. I don't care, I think this is hilarious. When I get some pics I will show you: this is how we SEAsian kids get up to kinky hijinks when we can't afford regular stuff. (Probably not really, but it's still hilarious.)

We also did a set on a flourescent pink chair that was there, and a couch set. The couch set is going to be really nifty, because there was this glass decorative... thing next to it, and James and I got Geoff to shoot us full-body-length on the couch through the glass. Since the camera is focused on the glass, you can't see exactly what's going on, but it definitely looks like two kids getting up to couch shenanigans.

Then there was also a set of silhouettes.

Also, James is pretty hot, and I wish I had a camera, because I would so take stock romance novel images with him. He's not buff enough but I don't care, he should be on one.

I also have some nifty shots from the night before last's shoot. Not much to say about it, since it's a pretty standard nude shoot, but anyways.

Here's a shot from last summer that I haven't seen until today when the photographer found me on Model Mayhem. Hatcha.

Fury of the Phoenix's cover:



I went looking through my portfolio, and I'm not even particularly proud of this image but I AM FEELING KIND OF STABBITY ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW:

This post is mainly broken off because it is yet another set of pictures. Please check out the beginning of the story first! If you note here at this Picasa folder, more shenanigans were had at the shoot, which did not involve Intrepid Girl Reporter! And I have no brainpower to put together a fairly disjointed shoot into a single coherent story with an actual complex plot, so.

Anyway.

Hope you enjoyed my shitty story-telling ability!

I met up with a really nice photographer when I was back in Malaysia. We'd tried to set up a shoot last year, with no success, and this year was pretty hard too! Either I was sick, or had allergies, or he wasn't around, or he was busy, or I was busy, or something! Finally, we managed to make a last-minute ditch effort to shoot, and somehow he managed to get his friends, who all trickled in as time went by even though I said I wanted the shoot done by 9pm. All great guys though. It was cool because they spoke mostly Cantonese and Hokkien, so I got to practise speaking Cantonese with them. I'd like to shoot with them again next year.

( Anyway, shots )

Got a new set of pics from Nick and Chad! Funnily came in my email as I was in my boss' office (he also does photography and in fact, you can find me on his port) telling him, "haven't gotten many yet!"
( Picture heavy. )

Today, I got my brows done for the first time in a while... I've been having trouble filling in my brows because they'd look overdone and too thick, and I didn't want to go to Sykea again, because I don't really like how my brows turn out after I leave... something about the way my brows look after that bugged me - too thin, a bit too unnatural. Granted, brow-shaping is rarely natural, but still.

So today, I went to Key Lime Pie to get my brows done in preparation for tomorrow and Monday's shoots.

And I LOVE it! I got a funky bump, probably in reaction to something she used, which was like a mosquito bite, but it's gone now, but the bottomline is, my brow is really nicely shaped now, and it looks *gasp* natural!

And it's $10 cheaper than going to Sykea! Yay!

While I'm still talking about making myself look beautiful, I stopped into Shopper's on Spring Garden the other day - holy crap!! The cosmetics section got way bigger and beautiful! They've brought in brands I've never been able to find in Halifax! SMASHBOX! Bare Minerals! OMG! I can tell I'm going to go broke in there someday. I asked about the renovations, and it'll apparently be all done by February. The pharmacy will be upstairs, and there'll be a glass elevator. Geez! Talk about a classy classy drugstore...

Model Mayhem's Tyler interrupted my daily browsing of MM to bring to me this very important message.
