Cool shot James... lookin forward to seein that interesting 'Jaguar leaping thru the fence' pic... yikes... wink

Haha, for those of you who left early, you guys sure missed a great drama:

As I was getting ready to leave, I drove my classic Jag through Gary's fence and the car rested on the wall with one tire dangling on the other side of the fence.  Gary, Dennis, Bill, Marty, and myself spent probably 1 1/2 hours trying to pull the 43-year old tough Cat out of the fence. 

We finally did it with composure and team work.  Thank you, guys.

The car escaped serious damage but not without suffering some semi deep scratches all over the front hood and left side fender.  The left headlight chrome trim is kind of busted and the bumper suffered some scratches too.

Gary, I promise you this:  after I have the car fixed (probably a couple of thousand $$$ LOL), I will drive this car back to your house again for one of your future photo shoots!!  The Cat's got eight more lives to go!!  LOL.

Oh no.... was Charlie Kristine walking around naked AGAIN



James, glad that you can laugh about it but so sorry to hear that it happened to one of the nicest guys. I am sure that karma will take care of it. With katie out there with her hot swim suits and looking ever so hot herself the guys sure enjoyed getting lots of shots of her with the car. Thank you.

Fur sure... we put a floor jack under the front end... jacked it up high enough to put building bricks and a long board under the front tire... then backed up the Jag back onto the front yard... totally drivable with no functional damage (cosmetic scratches only)... although you were only about 2 inches away from busting a hole in your oil pan on that brick fence embankment... yikes   You dodged a bullet there dude... wink  Tow truck driver would of easily charged us 3-4 hundred dollars to do that job.  I'm just glad you were OK dude... and YES... definitely bring the blue cat to the SM studios again... borat

Not if the models were there. Heck the tow truck driver would have paid $300 to $400 dollars just to be the one to two your car out getting pics of him with the models and his tow truck pulling your car out.

Thanks for a fantastic shoot yesterday, everybody! It was great seeing those of you I knew as well as meeting new people! Definitely have to do it again. I'm glad Gary finally gave me the privilege of seeing his dashing studio. Now I can promote it in my shoots! wink By all means, to those of you who have pictures of me, shoot me an email or MM me a link so that I can nab some! I know we had quite a few awesome pictures yesterday. Keep posting and email the models!

Thanks again! Look forward to next year!

There appears to be a lot that you DONT KNOW!  If this event was closed, the thread would be locked.  You're obviously new to the MM events forums, but I'm definitely NOT new... have posted 100s of events here for close to 9 years.  It's NOT cool to spam whatever event you're promoting in the thread of someone else's event.  On a networking function like 'Toys for Tots' or a 'Taco Tuesday' or a studio networking party, it's OK and actually expected... but NOT in someone's else's event thread... winkI

I want to thank all the modesl that were at the shoot and share something with you and I think that I am not the only one who would benefit by it: PLEASE as soon as you get a chance after the shoot post something in the forum. Believe it or not when you wonder why you are not getting pics it could be because we forgot who is who. YES, that is true. With so many gorgeous models posing and getting so many opportunies to shoot with all of you we tend to forget who is who. By posting something in the forums after we say to ourselves "Oh yeah, that was Bridgette". And if you tell me that I am the brunette .... hmm out of 4 brunettes   ??????

Again I do want to thank you because without you we would be taking pictures of Gary and although we all respect and like Gary well......

Thank you Gary for giving me the pleasure to model at your shoot. Also, thank you to all the photographers that made me feel like a million bucks! I think I can get away with reminding everyone that I was the tall blonde. Kind of hard to forget someone that's like 6'3 in heels! I had an amazing time and look forward to seeing all the photos everyone captured. My email is [email protected]
