Hey guys, if you are going to be attending the MM gathering at Doug's place. here's an update regarding eats...

Talking with Doug, and he is good either way, one option is for everyone to bring a platter of something.. Not all veggies, cheese's and fruits, either... smile  As Doug put it, we do need some things that were once alive and now dead... lol The other is to chip in for pizza. Apparently there is a pizza place not far from the studio..

So please email me as to whether you are bringing a platter and what it shall be or if you are going to wanna get pizza.. This way we will have an idea of what's coming and who we'll need to grab pizza money from.. honestly, I think it will be easiest if we all bring a platter of something... but let me know.. You can also post in this thread..

Look forward to meeting you all!!  And don't forget, there will be an opportunity to shoot and Amanda will be providing make-up for the low low price of $10.. koolGirlieStuff also has a deal going for some vintage looks with make-up for the low low price of $20..  Info as always, on my port and on his...

Man, don't let that get out. I've spent years working on being a jackass. Anybody finds out otherwise my whole persona is blown.

Photographers beware....This model is a no show/no call!

After I finally agreed to her/him/it's modest $200 an hour fee, that I gladly paided in advanced (because I so needed that look for my port) and after setting up a $500 a night hotel to do the shoot. That damn model had the balls (I think) to not show up. Just wait till I get my hands on her/him/it!!!

And i won't be sharing my Guiness with her/him/it either.

This is really sick.... You paid $500 for the room?? You should really check out Travelocity; they got the deals!!!  lol


  Well, things are little up in the air, but I may not be attending.. My mother was in a a very serious car accident this morning and had to be air lifted to Tampa General trauma center.. Luckily she faired better then she looks, she hit 3 cars, one a semi and the car rolled several times.. But the is bruising to the brain and adrenal gland, blood on the brain and cracked vertabrae in both the cerival and lumbar regions..
  They will be running more tests in the morning and another CAT scan.. For the moment they have her pretty pumped up on morphine..
  Sorry for the downer, but I just wanted to explain why I may not be there on saturday, after is was my suggestion about the whole the damn thing.. If nothing serious arises, I will be there, but right now I have to focus on my mom...

Yeah Keith, you concentrate on your mom. If you make it great but family is more important. I lost my mom last year and it makes you realize just how important your family is. My prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear... yesterday was a horrible day for accidents...There was a terrible one right out in front of my daughter's school...involving a four and five year old and their mother... I pulled in, and the paramedics had left the 4 year old's bloody car seat right out where ALL parents pulling in could see....needless to say, I was a mess after seeing that.  The little boy was lifted to Orlando where he underwent surgery to relieve pressure and swelling on his brain... (haven't heard any updates as of yet)...what a way to spend the first day of school... 

I will be thinking of your mother and your family...and please be thinking of this little guy as well...  sad

You know we all say, "I  should have stayed in bed, today"??  I guess a couple of people should have...  Hope that little guy gets better soon.. It's hard on adults to go through something like this, it's even harder for kids..  Of course, it does make us think and realize how quickly life can change.. It doesn't always happen to the other guy...

   And again, thank you all for your kindness...

Looks like the thread I just posted on was a bit stale. Here's what I said....

Is it to late to get a ticket? I am scheduled to work, but shouldn't have much trouble getting the night off. Doug, if you are bringing your bike, i'll bring mine and we'll have a corvette buffet. I spose money will travel better than a seafood sampler platter on the scooter, so i'll bring that if there are spots available.



My best wishes to you and your loved ones Keith.

Congrats Tom!! Glad you had such a wonderful response.. And I'm sure Amanda is very happy, too..  Funny thing, she's a little nervous about the whole thing... smile

Amanda is going to be MUAing her butt off on Saturday. She's working with me early in the day. She's going to be sick of seeing make-up by the end of the day.

Hey Folks!

I`ve put a FREEZE on any more shoots during the party, Amanda and I have 5 gals now we are working with and I think any more than that will overburden us for the time we will have to do anything.......

Amanda and I will be discussing another kool offer soon for Florida models who will be interested, and I will also be talking to models there at the party for any projects that I feel they will be able to fit in my styles

Thanks again and see you at the party!
