Doug, Keith and Joe this was a KICKASS party and great time for all, thanks for putting this all together!  it was sooo nice to finally meet all the great people who have the DRIVE behind the Model Mayhem fever in Fla.

I really had a great time shooting....special thx to Kelly, (we did it and didn`t get caught by the POLICE too....hell yeah!)  I guess I was the bad boy with sexy topless retro models running in the streets of Ybor.....LOL!!!!)

But really it was great and so much fun, I hope that next time I can share my Retro beauty and fun with even more beautiful gals and enjoy the company of all the KOOL people there, (Andrew it was GREAT talking to you too.....heheheheh ohhh it`s KGS...yeh I`m weird with spelling all the stuff with K`s)

There`s ton`s of people I`ve met and wonderful ladies I`ve shot, thank you for everything, and I`ll have lot`s of NEW fun pics up Sunday...as soon as I get my butt outta bed, it`s gonna be a LATE sleep in tonight (this Morning!) Dammm it`s late, but WE kicked ASS in Florida, let`s see the other states get the Mayhem going like we did smile

I want to thank Keith for suggesting this little shindig. I also want to thank Doug and Joe for hooking us up with the location. What a fantastic place to shoot. And Doug and Joe also want above and beyond the call in helping me with my shoot just before the party with Mya. Thanks also to Mya for what turned into a monster make-up session and shoot. Amanda Craft, you did one kick ass job on Mya's make-up. Four hours of solid make-up work for me then did make-up the rest of the night at the party. What a trooper. I know you and I left there bordering on comatose, but it was worth it. We had an awesome turn out of photographers and models. I know I had a blast. Thank you Audrey, Zebrena, Chandra and Tiffany for let me get a little for work in before I dropped. We definitely need to do thia again.

Hey guys!!  It was a fun nite and a pleasure to meet all you reprebates, er, fine people.. lol  Naw, it was pretty sweet to finally put some faces to the names..

Many thanks to Doug for playing host, to everyone who came out, Amanda for playing MUA, and she is one in real life big_smile, and the lovely ladies who let us dress them up and shoot them... Look forward to Mayhem Florida #2!!  Perhaps Mayhem on the beach???  smile

And before I forget, many thanks to all of you asked about my mom and all the well wishes you sent in the forums and PM's.. That meant so much to me and truly appreciate your thoughts and kindness..

And Doug, you asked what we're all doing tomorrow??  I'm guessing your house for sushi!!!  big_smile

And don't forget to visit the Audrey thread for continuing insanity and sillyness... The only rule, you can't start a topic 'cause we're all about nothing!!!  lol  We're open 24 hours, 7 days a week!! Hmmm, but make sure to check our holiday hours....  smile


Opps, just noticed this was my 1500 post and by rule, the Audrey thread, I am required to say something profound... Hmmm...

It was great meeting everyone last night.  Allow me to throw in my kudos to "Amazing Amanda" who worked her tail off and did an awesome job.   Although I am a hurtin' puppy today (a whole *three* hours of sleep before it was off to the airport), I'd gladly do it again.

Maybe we should organize KamaShootout 2005?

Have a SAFE trip Joe, it was nice meeting you!

KamaShootout 2005.......hahahaha I just see that now, I`ll be running around Ybor doing half naked outdoor Bettie Page or Marilyn lingerie shoots, and the place will be swarming with cops.....well, KNOCK ON WOOD I`ve NEVER been in any trouble, it`s all for the sake of art and the love of retro, and thanks to Amy, yesterday I had a lookout LOL!

Tom

PS. Reminds me of the ED WOOD movie......ohh look there`s the cops!......"do you have a permit to shoot?" NO....."OK...run run!"

I'm really sorry I couldn't attend. I was so looking forward to being there. I had just gotten back in from NYC (which BTW, I'm already  back up here) and little kid stuff got in the way. I'm glad to hear what a great time everyone had (like I had a doubt). Thought about you all, and lookinng forward to the next one.

And it was a pleasure working with Chris and Tom, the images are fantastic, I'm already receiving mucho compliments on them. I'd love to work with you guys again!

And Keith - the sheep! I am looking forward to shooting with you soon at Lido! We's gonna rock that there beach dude! I can hardly wait.

Andrew, was a pleasure and beyond, your images are beautiful!

And who can forget the wonderful models that helped model the jeans I brought along - Chandra, Uriana and Tiffany. You girls are beautiful (and down to earth too!).

Oh golly, hope I didn't forget anyone, don't throw the tomatoes if I did! smile

Hee hee, seems the stuffed animals always do - huh?

Erica is a nice girl, met her briefly on Saturday and spoke with her online about possibly modeling the jeans.

I do like how the sunset almost comes "out" of her (in your avatar) - you couldn't have planned that one more perfectly.

Erica is a sweetie to work with. very laid back and follows posing directions perfectly when she isn't already doing professional poses on her own.

You'd love working with her.
