well whoever books me always has a choice of normal clothes or crazy clothes which is what pays for my gigantic wardrobe and prop closet of bizarre exploits ;P

yeah you powder it or lube it up on the inside to get into anything latex...however as this one has a full body zipper thats not 100% necessary it would just make it more easy to conform to the body and look its best.

side note... this is what i want next if someone wants to generously fund one for a shoot or a chivalrous gesture for my recent bday hehe

Went here today: http://festivalsofspeed.com/mission-inn/

An OK car show. Not enough vintage cars though and every Cobra on display had a fiberglass body. At an event like this I would expect at least one real aluminum-body Cobra.

Yup, I have been to that event when they have it in St Petersburg and have always found it to be top notch...but I have also gone to their private event the night prior in an airport hangar where you have to be on a list to get in...WOW, that was cool.  It's been a couple of years since I have gone though.

Someone was giving free press passes to the event. I looked into it but thought it was too far of a drive. We get a lot of car shows in this area anyways.

It would have been cool to see Wayne Carini at the event.

Holy hell what a weekend!

Yokoris invited 40 people to the event
They had it at the bodega in the barrio
Put up balloons and ribbons and things to festoon the place

Easily...and I mean EASILY had over 125 people show up
The whole damn barrio poured out for this thing
Music was BLARING, everybody was dancing, the rum was flowing
It was a party unlike any party I have ever seen
I'll try and put up some pictures later

Earlier that day the girls made a batch of Sancocho
Now keep in mind that this was for a Fiesta, so when I say a "Batch" ...well...

They ended up making 2 pots full
These pots were so large that it took 2 people to carry them
Cooked over an open fire
Think of a witches cauldron, maybe 20 gallons each?
So probably 40 gallons of Soup? Whatever it was, it was a CRAZY huge amount of it
And everybody got some. Very much a social thing

Living down there is just hard though
I'm getting used to the power just quitting throughout the day for 4 or 5 hours randomly, but
Still not used to taking a shower in the morning by scooping cold water out of a 5 gallon bucket and pouring it on myself. That one just still gets to me every time.

Good times though...good times

One of the BEST photo shoots I have ever had!  It was soooo freaking awesome!  OMG!!!

So one girl flaked (thank goodness) and the one I was really wanting I picked her up at her house at 5:30.  Ready and On Time!  She got up at 3:30 to start getting ready.  I was really worried about the massive cloud cover.  By the time we got on the beach and the sun was just coming up it was magical.  Orange ball with rays coming through the clouds....perfect.  Then as it got later more and more clouds cleared and we had great blue sky with just enough clouds so it wasn't boring.  In my head, I got soooo many awesome photos.  I will find out soon enough if that is the reality.  Today is her 18th birthday!  She is the cousin of the girl that is in the 3rd row of my port.  Fantastic Day!  All of you missed out on Disney Magic today!

Glad your shoot went well

Personally I'll just keep shooting sunsets at a reasonable hour of the day so my models don't have to get up at 3:30 am for a TFCD shoot

But hey, if that is working for you...more power to you!

What Carl said(not to mention the flake potential is much higher that erly)
And I prefer sunsets because I like the afterglow more than the actual sunset,and often
By that time I have a nice rhythm going with the model and my exposure/lighing is where I want
It......

On a totally unrelated note,lets talk food
We are getting WaWa in our area(some places already have a few open)
What is WaWa you ask...
the beast convienence store/deli ever,you can get a wide variety of deli/cooked samdwiches(being from Philly they are called hoagies)
And for health nuts like me the best selection of low calorie wraps you will find....so no more
Grabbing 2 spinning dogs from Race Trac...a nice turkey with turkey bacon and honey mustars wrap
Will do
