THE DAY OF THE PHOTOSHOOT!

26.03.10 - WAS WOKEN UP AT AROUND 8 O'CLOCK TO A TEXT MESSAGE FROM HOLLY SAYING SHE COULDN'T GET IN TOUCH WITH THE MODEL. MANY TEXTS LATER, NO MODEL. PANIC AT THE THOUGHT THAT THE WHOLE DAY WAS GOING TO HAVE TO BE CANCELLED. A TEXT OF HOPE ARRIVED, MIGHT HAVE A NEW MODEL. TEXT CONFIRMED. SERIOUS RELIEF! SKY LOOKING BLUE , FEELING OPTIMISTIC. AT ABOUT 10.15am HOLLY ARRIVES TO PICK ME UP, MAD RUSH TO GET STUFF TOGETHER. HEAD OFF IN THE CAR TO HOLLY'S HOUSE WHERE WE WILL BE MEETING THE MODEL. IN CAR GET A MESSAGE FROM KAYLEIGH, HAIR AND MAKE-UP STYLIST CAN'T MAKE IT. GREAT! CHECK SKY, SERIOUS BIG GREY CLOUDS. SHIT! ARRIVE AT HOLLY'S HOUSE, GO INSIDE TO WAIT FOR THE ARRIVAL OF OUR SAVIOUR MODEL. RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGE FROM PHOTOGRAPHY GIRLS, THEY ARE WAITING IN THE CAR AT THE FARM. MODEL ARRIVES. MORE RUSHING AROUND, NEVER SEEN HAIR CURLED SO QUICKLY THANKS TO HOLLY AND HER HAIR STRAIGHTENERS. GET IN CAR AND HEAD OFF TO FARM. ON ARRIVAL MEET UP WITH KAYLEIGH AND AMY. HEAD ONTO THE FARMYARD AND FIND A BARN COMPLETE WITH OLD TRACTOR. PERFECT LOCATION, EVEN MORE PERFECT BECAUSE IT'S INSIDE AND IT'S NOW RAINING, HAPPY DAYS! FINISH OFF SORTING OUT HAIR AND MAKE-UP. SPEND MUCH TIME BACK COMBING HAIR WHILST HOLLY IS APPLYING THE SMOKY EYES. DECIDE ON FIRST OUTFIT. SKIRT AND TOP WITH BLACK SHOES AND TIGHTS COMPLETE WITH HEAD SCARF. MODEL CHANGES BEHIND STACK OF HAY. THINK WE'VE MADE THE FARMERS DAY! MEANWHILE KAYLEIGH AND AMY HAVE BEEN GETTING SNAP HAPPY AROUND THE FARM TAKING PICTURES OF POSSIBLE LOCATIONS AND CUTE COWS. BEGIN SHOOTING FIRST LOCATION: THE TRACTOR. STAND BACK AND LET THE PHOTOGRAPHERS DO THEIR THING. SUGGEST VARIOUS POSSES. CLOTHING CHANGE. SKIRT WITH KNIT CARDIGAN.
