Hey, all.
So I was going to go to a party tonight at Lenny's place, but I'm actually pretty much zonked and will be heading to bed shortly after I post this.
Life modeling is... Interesting. Challenging (in terms of holding still for that long) and simple at the same time.
I like it.
I did something fairly stupid --> That is, I thought I had another five-minute pose to do, so I came up with something I could hold for five minutes. And then found out it was actually going to be a ten-minute pose.
And didn't change anything.
That was fairly foolish of me.
It involved having both my arms, but particularly my left one, above my head, unsupported.
Definitely foolish.
I held it for seven minutes and change (which was longer than I expect), but I don't think I'll be pulling that one again. :-P
My left shoulder was extremely displeased and, during the next pose (one that was much, much easier on me), my entire body was shaking like crazy.
Which, if nothing else, was interesting to see.
Here, have a picture (nowhere near the best of the bunch... that award probably goes to Hilde or Barbara), but one that was emailed to me by the fellow who hired me.
Hilde told me I was amazing, and very graceful, and complimented me on the complexity of my poses. (I'd made up a list of potential poses, which I went over before the session, but I ended up not really using it. Yay!)
The whole thing actually made me think of bondage -- the kind where you get your partner to hold a particular position. Not Leather protocols, just... required stillness.
I like that. Bondage without ropes or chains or shakles.
And, yeah. That was life modeling.
A space-heater would have been nice.
In other news: Linking to Idioglossia's Post about a husky mill because signal boosting is good. If you're in Ottawa and want to foster a pregnant dog, please follow the links she provides. Failing that, if you're in Ottawa and want to signal boost, please do that, too.
