Shooting Troy Sutter..... Extreme Cover Model
I am numb now.
We actually did it!
My first photo shoot.
Notice the emphasis on "first"!
I have to be serious - so I have NOT let this sink in.
Can't take the chance.
I'd be bopping all over the ceiling!
So I try very hard to behave.
Most of the time.
And now that we've "done Troy", it's my turn.
I need photos.
For the book cover.
For the website.
So we "do me".
I had to change and get made up when Troy was in the red vest and the blue green one. (I pinned him into the red one. Missed the blue green one.)
(I had made them wait on the poster shots until I was done.)
We fuss, hair, make-up (I get touched up too) - I have on my purple suit - the same one I wore to sit on Fabio's knee in 1994!
Yep!
I got in it!
Of course, it will fit better after January when I have two things reduced and relocated.
You can guess.
But it looks fine.
I have BIG jewelry. Purple.
Of course.
Signature.
Lean in, serious, don't fall over the gun.
Watch the rocks.
Change the lights - cut the double chin and eye bags down.
Can't stop aging - just don't have to give in to it!
We need a head shot.
So I vamp a bit, standing in the foliage with a background that matches others we see in RT.
Ugh!
I hate the test Polaroid.
We never do like our own pictures, do we?
Of course, when you like to think that you are still 25, it's a shock to have the camera remind you that you are more than double that age!
And then.....
We also make this a bit painless - we have to (just have to) get pictures of me hugging Troy.
Of course.
But the best shots....
We posed special.
First he got the gun - and dragged my hand down to the trigger.
This caused more than a few comments!
And then....
Troy splayed himself out on the rocks (tricky balancing act).
Everything on him flexed!
Hands up!
Momma has the gun!
Demonstration time.

Cute stuff.
Oh ladies!
Megawatt smile.
Those eyes.
Can I keep him?
I have to do this again!
So much fun!
So much work!
There are so many details!
So much to remember!
Remember the FUN!!!!!
I may produce books for others.
I most certainly will complete the two sequels - Hellsfire and Kali's Song.
We shall see...
Hmmmmmm
