before the image uploads are disabled...

Blogger image uploads are going down for maintenance so...

I thought I would hurry and share some pictures of Sissy from her modeling job last week. I think this is my favorite photo shoot so far. It was held in the coolest and most beautiful studio. I could have lived there- all it needed was a full bath and maybe a bigger kitchen. I am not hip on all the deco speak- I am not exactly sure what one would call the decor style. It was sort of European/shabby chic. The walls were bright white and it had huge windows and the most beautiful doors. Sissy's agent commented that the studio would be a great place for a party. I want to have my next party there now! Of course I couldn't afford the price tag- I know the hourly rental fee was mighty high.

The other models (all adults), were from the US (NYC), England and Australia. Being around the models and the Japanese photography crew- I felt so big and fat! I know- the models don't count because they don't eat and Japanese are naturally thinner than Americans. It sounds good in theory- but I still felt out of place.

They were all so good with Sissy. She was the only child there and they just doted on her. She did so well they took some extra shots. My only disappoinment was that she didn't get to wear designer clothes again. We brought her own clothes to the shoot. Luckily someone had handed down a bunch of velvet holidayish dresses to Sissy a couple of years back- and they all still fit. She did get to wear a fur scarf of sorts- real fox fur. I think it creeped her out. It did me too to tell the truth. I have never been a fur person- I don't see the intrigue to wear a dead animal's fur on my body. Now if you are talking leather- I am all for that! ha ha

I got some great pictures. The lighting in the studio was just perfect- so even my click and shoot did a decent job...
