Thank you, Frank. That woman, Denise Steller, was the most enthusiastic model I've ever had the pleasure of working with and I'd recommend her to anyone. Her day job is set designer / dresser for film and TV productions, but she's taking AutoCad courses on her own so she'll be able to do 3D renderings of set designs to improve them. On top of that she's an experienced comedian, actress, and world traveller.
She dragged two armloads of props (including an artist's easel) on the subway from down by King St out to Kipling station where I picked her up for the shoot. All this in exchange for shots for her portfolio! I love working with go-getters. :-) She had a lot of fun with it. All I had to say was "so I'm your boss and I just caught you updating your resume" and she'd nail the expression.
