Andrea's Diary (Part 6)
The big day arrived! and I came down with a Cold!! But the studio was booked and my photographer would have lost his deposit if I was not to appear - so there was nothing for it but to go for it - sniffles and all. (I'm sure my hankie came out in one of the shots!)
I arrived at Transformation at Euston shortly after nine and started to get ready - just getting together all the change of outfits and shoes took nearly an hour. After shaving I completed changing into my clothes in which to travel up to the studio. At first I wore stockings - but even with my longest black skirt the tops were visible so I settled for tights.
Even so I still wore some killer heels. These were 6" courts with a thin ankle strap. Whilst they are very painful due to their pointed toe they are quite easy to walk in, as the strap around my ankle holds me tightly in place, and thus I'm able to keep my balance.
Kathy at Transformation did a splendid job on my make up considering how watery my eyes were due to my cold. Once finished my wig was positioned and, as always, 'Andrea' was ready! Finishing touches with jewellery and gold sparkle make up (more on that later) and I was ready for my cab ride to the studio.
Stepping out of the shop is always a mixture of pure excitement and nerves. I knew (well hoped!!) that every passing driver would be looking at this girls long legs and high heels. The ride was only a few minutes and I was soon paying the driver and teetering down the short cul-de-sac to the studio doors.
My photographer was already there just starting to set up the studio. No time for a chat as studio time costs money. We sorted out the order of outfits that he wanted me to wear and I set about changing while he finished setting up the backdrop and lighting.
A white backdrop was being used - which is commonplace as it allows the photo to be easily edited and used in any future magazine or web site etc. My first outfit was to be the black shinny pvc top and skirt with stockings and my 6" courts.
As the top was a zip up front I could make the most of inducing my cleavage naturally, using sticky tape pulled across from each side of my chest, before putting my silicones in place. Once zipped up every thing was held in a sexy, taut manner. A dab of gold sparkle foundation was then applied lightly in a few places!
My photographer was ready and we undertook a light test, and he also took a Polaroid shot to ensure all was ok. We then proceeded with the shoot - different poses and various pieces of equipment (no not that!), props - stools, ladders, etc - to create that certain image.
I next changed into my bubblegum pink pvc skirt, still keeping the pvc top but now also with lace-top stockings.
This was followed by the boots!! These 9" heels are a mixture of torture and excitement. I laced them up tightly beside the floor of the backdrop as there was no way I would be able to walk in them from the changing room to the studio - wearing the fine stockings adds to this difficulty. Finally, using a stool to keep my balance, I teetered into place.
Now I could say here that I was made to wear them and stand in them, and would not be allowed to leave until I had achieved the right pose, but in reality I wanted to both stand unaided and strike the right pose to make all the discomfort worthwhile - on pointed toes, taut legs and arched back. I only hope it does not show too much on my face!
Once done I fell into a heap back at my chair and removed the boots for my 6" heels - they now seemed all too comfortable in comparison...
