I snorted wine through my nose first time I saw this and was careful to put down my coffee this time! Truly fun image, love the expression, props, lots of fun had by all :-)
Not your traditional expectation of female beauty (or even male beauty for that matter). What interesting juxtaposition of the model, and the bright red dress & umbrella. The right side of his face is a bit dark, but really doesn't detract.
"O.K., I'm as ready as I will ever be - just don't laugh," spoke Spike as he stepped out the dressing room and into the studio.
Sasha had seen some strange client requests over the years but this one took the cake. He and some of his buddies came in saying that they were going to do a calender shoot for charity. Sasha had assumed that meant the men were doing something akin to a GQ shoot. But this, well, she just stood there mouth agape.
"Yeah, I know. But I'm doing this because a friend asked me too.," quipped Spike, "but, hey this is for charity after all. So it's a good deed. And you know, the dress is actually comfortable. It's more roomy down...O.K. just shoot me"
Sasha smiled and raised her Cannon, "No problem. Now, smile."
Hmhp, well what can I say - I do take it that it was all in good fun:-):-) Like Sasha in the mini story, I too smiled after I got over the surprise:-) The studio lighting is great and the red of the umbrella and dress pops vividly - perfect for the month of July (red being a warm/hot color and plays into the summer heat of July). BTW, I am assuming Mr. July's name is Spike because of the tattoo.
Irkaaa is most beautifullest female in Tribe of Grog. Very desirable, will make many strong younglings. Grog have many other females alredy, so Grog be generus. Uggg may have Irkaaa. Uggg not need to thank Grog, look on Uggg's face is enough thanking.
Hehe! It would appear the mags standards have dropped a bit since I last brought one as a teen. That, or my standards have increased since then. Perhaps if I have a few drinks…
Made me laugh, this would have been a good entry for the strange looking people challenge if it were taken in the time limit, haha. Nice clear focus, I like the lighting, very funny image.
