Okay, slight change of plans.

So, the re-do of the “Majorette” outfit has taken a different turn, stylistically.   I had this idea that it would be great to have some sort of trophy case with sports trophies, like what you might see at a school near their gym.  All the thrift stores turned up empty (ok, so I went to one and called another), but I knew there was a trophy store closeby and I gave them a call.

“Where do I find old trophies?  I don’t  care what they’re for, or if they’re from a dead person”. I asked.

“Well, I got 2 boxes of bowling trophies you can have”.

“Great, when do you close?”

“5pm”.  It was 4:30 so I hurried on over there, and got my hands on these beauties.

Apparently my school dominated the bowling lanes.

Then I found one local place that would be willing to rent me a brass musical instrument on a day by day basis.  Other places were by the month or just too expensive. I really wanted a french horn or a tuba or a sousaphone but I settled on a saxophone because of it’s density of detail.  Trumpets and Trombones were a little light on detail.  In fact I saw a trombone and said “geez, i could fake that with some gold painted pipe bent in a paper clip shape.”

So I just gotta figure out a surface for a floor and something to sit on.  Because when you do these shoots, you gotta sit on something, preferably something comfortable enough to lean back on something and open your legs and shoot all that wonderful porn stuff.  If you don’t have that, you really can’t shoot decent porn.  I’m still at a loss for what I’m going to do there but I’m sure I’ll figure something out once i pour over many pictures of bands.  I might settle on something that looks like a musical instrument case or something.  I can’t be searching all over the area for that.. Gotta pick something, and run with it.  Besides, something like the saxophone  will only be featured in like 10 or 15 out of 150 shots.  It’s just to add some storytelling to the shoot.

However, all this running around today means a few things.  I’m not sure I’ll be ready to shoot something tonight for my live simulcast camshow a 7 (in a half an hour!)  But I am going to still jump on cam at about 8pm and do a show primarily for my website members.

And I only have the rental of the sax for a few days, so tomorrow night I hope to actually do the shoot itself, in my studio.  I only have about 6 hours or less of work to do to put that shoot together.   Tonight’s shoot I’m just going to keep in simple.  If there’s actually not a ton of people tuning in tonight, I’ll tell them all about tomorrow and just go back to camming on streamate as usual.

Sorry for the change of plans, but things are happening very fast around here.
