just a quick little message between photo edits in the north lanes. yesterday after a long search for 'cool' sunglasses for me and denim shirts that can be tucked into trousers for Joe. Megan and I went to meet her 'friend' Hardcore Dave and utilize his bathtub for another shoot. His name comes from something about enjoying smashing a pumpkin like vegetable that i can't remember the name of right now. oh wait, a marrow? Being Canadian, I yet again, don't know what that is.... I say 'friend' because once we arrived there Megan proceeded to tell me that she had only met this guy a couple of times at his house parties and whilst drunk in the bathroom thought that he had an amazing tub. Well the tub was pretty cool. A free standing, older style one with hardwood floors underneath. I don't know if anyone else cares this much about bathtubs but I'm pretty partial to them.
anyway, the shoot was based on a short story I wrote called 'Glass Half Full.' And the photos are kind of a bit dark but also dreamy. We got a red bathrobe (or dressing gown for the brits) and an old fashion whisky holder (which we filled with apple juice because I'm too much of a poverty case to be authentic right now) and filled the tub up to get some pretty neat images.
the more hilarious and blog worthy part was 4 University guys watching 2 crazy girls take apart their bathroom. There were a few points where we took a short break because one of the housemates needed to use the toilet. oh and the highlight was when of them needed to brush their teeth which sounds pretty standard except he did so wearing boxers and a magenta sparkling blazer.
so kids, the moral of the story is when Megan tells you she 'knows' some one be on high alert and I'm sure there is some kind of symbolic bathroom metaphor in here but I'll leave that up to you...
As Always:
Thanks for listening,
Stephanie
