Eskew Me You A Model Is It?

facilitating a photo shoot in a studio can be a long drawn and draining affair. it starts with stripping off the make-up off the model's face, the length of time taken to put on make up takes up an epic proportion in itself. then comes the dressing up part. only then will the photo shoot proper take place and you wait for the cows to come back home. if you've several costumes to put on, then i'd say good luck to you. because the make up and hair will have to change all over again to fit whatever you're wearing.

since my early days on my first job in advertising, i dread going for photo shoots... worse of all if it's a whole day of doing photo shots of products. one cannot exactly talk to the products and request that it should look sassy and sultry can he?

so there i was, grumbling my arse off early morning having to wake up real early at 8am (on top of my usual 9.15am rise and shine) just because i had to travel all the way from home in holland village to mediacorp's publishing studio in ang mo kio's most bellicose industrial tech-park district.

my morning mood shot right up to the other extreme pole of eternal happiness and joy when i walked into the photo studio....


...as i caught an immediate glimpse of someone i've not seen for a long time, leaving his imprint of cosmetic genius on stephanie carrington's face... it was...


...GREGO!!! the mostest darling girl friend and love of the universe to every living being on planet earth... chuckle.

of course we got back to our tasks after half an hour of histrionics which over the years, have become very much our customary way of greeting one another (even on the streets if we were to bump into one another... no kidding).

grego as usual, is a leonardo da vinci in the realm of beautifying the face of anything that walks this planet. i'd very much would like to post my own shots of stephanie fully made up and in her most sublime modelliscious studio poses... but i can't just yet or else arena magazine will come after my arse in court for leaking out those shots. you all will have to wait for arena's june issue i guess.

teaser: stephanie's so hot i almost turned straight but i pushed happy thoughts of a naked bodied nakata in my head.

being the digicam whore that i have recently turned into, i cannot resist hijack a pose with stephanie. but i shan't post it here because i look thrice her size in photos.

note to self: adopt felicia's fabulous diet plan

the happiest person that day was of course ian, the only other colleague of very hetero inclination who tagged along with me to help facilitate the studio photo shoot.

guitar-god ian and stephanie

i for once was a very happy man that day at work. it's always good to be able to go to work and laugh, and bump into old fabulous friends like grego.
