On the catwalk
We all need something to look back on in our childhood that we can complain bitterly about. Otherwise we will feel all left out in dorm chats when we go to college. One of Mike's likely choices will be how I often force him to stand in as a mannequin when taking pictures of clothing I want to sell.
We did negotiate a deal to not reveal his face on eBay, although there was some confusion about that at first. "I'll cut your head off for the pictures, okay?" I asked him. He just laughed, a little nervously. "See, if I cut your head off, no one will see your face."
"SuSAN," he said, "you will not do that," only sounding half-convinced.
"Sure, it's easy," I reassured him.
Long silence. "But then how I will BREAVE, huh?"
Once I assured him I was only speaking PhotoShopically, he was mostly okay with the idea. Like when my requests weren't interfering with something IMPORTANT, meaning anything even remotely watchable on TV.
Fortunately having a sulky model does not affect the quality of the photo shoot, providing you are planning to cut off the model's head later. And the results can be hilarious. Yes, I intend to share. Right now.
By the way, those very cool jackets somehow failed to sell. If you know someone who needs some genuine groovy 70s gear for a play or costume event, you can check out the sizes here, and have either or both for the cost of postage.
