reading for "house of trixxx"

i told you about the "house of trixxx" screenplay that i wrote a while back, right?  well i've decided to film some scenes from it.  i placed an ad on craigslist for actors and this is matt benson reading a short scene. he's reading for the part of shane - a drag queen noob from a religious family. in this scene he's being interrogated by the police, being a key witness to a murder. hopefully i can post a better scene video when we record it with proper setting and with the dialogue memorized.  this was our first meeting, at brooklyn's anchored inn, over fries.

i hate this model

because he wore my clothes better. there.

i do love tho that i didn't have to source clothes for him to wear (we wear the same size, all my stuff is fair game) and that he was a real trouper during the shoot.  stocksy said it wanted some sartorialist-style street fashion photo, so there.

vintage pirate coat from vivienne westwood (this one is charles'), suede chukkah boots from a.p.c., iggy jeans from agnes b., hooded sweater from diesel (which the model smirked at, comparing the style of the hoodie to foreskin) and hat from dior homme.

all i said was, you're these bored party people, spoiled brats - they came up with this, from a shoot i did last sunday.  in the photo are diego, michelle, mitchel, and hallie.

photo stuff update:  i guess sales are picking up (and i hope it continues) - bme (best month ever, if you're not familiar with stock photographers' sales talk) for alamy, stocksy, and imagebrief.(well, considering this is my first month)  and tho not bme for pond5, still not bad.

maybe they were just happy that the shoot was over, but they all seemed in their most relaxed in this last photo i took of them, taken at the front stoop of the building where i live.  i've finally processed and submitted all the images from the series, all for stocksy , including the ones taken in their apartment.

was supposed to do another shoot yesterday, but model said he slipped and injured himself, so i guess that'll have to wait until next week.

we were just about to have our coq-au-vin (photo above, burning in brandy flames before going in the oven), after a recipe from the two fat ladies, when the sim family (our neighbors from upstairs) came over and gave us early christmas gifts - japanese desserts.  shown on top is white chocolate mochi covered in green tea powder
