Interviewing New Model Jennifer
After a week or so of not receiving a lot of hot leads on new talent, we finally received a live one. Her name is Jennifer. We received a couple of sample photos, which are low quality but show some promise. And we find out she's done some swimsuit contests, so that's a sign that she has a nice body and is proud of it.
Jennifer also lives a ways out of the city. This is another good sign. When it comes to models, getting girls who have not been exposed to the big city is the equivalent of picking them fresh off the vine. They're typically much less psychotic.
So we agree to interview Jennifer at a local Starbucks. The interview is a bit of a test. First thing is we want to see if she'll show up. A lot of girls get cold feet, but if they'll at least show up to meet us for an interview, odds are better they'll actually show up at the shoot. If they do get cold feet, we have a cup of coffee, bitch about it a little and go home. It's annoying, but not near as annoying as having a site secured to shoot, dragging out all of the lighting equipment, etc, and THEN getting stood up. The interview also lets us see the girl in person and for her side of things lets her see we're not creeps, or at least that we're not wearing hockey masks and toting machetes or anything.
We get to the agreed meeting location 30 minute early, so we can get a table with some privacy. We've prepared the girl as much as we can. She knows what we're wearing, has the address and a map link of the Starbucks, and she has our cell number. 15 minutes after the arranged time, we're cracking jokes about being stood up and figuring out where to go feed our face and finally the phone rings. She's wonder where we're at? Turns out she went to another Starbucks on the same road but a few miles from the one we gave her the address for and directions to. Wanna take pictures of naked women? You learn to take this stuff in stride. We told her to stay put and drove down to her.
A few minutes later we're at the other coffee shop, and we meet her. She looks much better than her pics. She's also wearing shorts and we note decent legs and a very nice butt. We lay down the deal and what our expectations are. She has a few questions, but everything goes extremely well.
We do find out that she's an ex-dancer. Oh well, so much for picking one straight off the vine! We've shot a lot of strippers. That's good and bad. Good thing is they have no hang ups about getting naked, they are not shy. Bad thing is they can be quite flakey. They often look at guys simply as prey to extract money from, and the lifestyle can make them lazy and irresponsible in some cases.
I'm sitting on one side and Richard is sitting on the other while we're talking to her and I notice something that catches my eye when she laughs. By being a bit late it's starting to get dark outside, and she shuts her mouth very quickly each time. But I clearly saw a broken tooth on the side I'm sitting on. Richard is busy setting up the shoot, so I assume it isn't bad enough for him to notice on his side which indicates we can shoot around it with the camera and worst case fix it in post production.
The shoot is on for Monday evening after she gets off work. And after comparing notes with Richard about what I saw with her teeth, as I suspected he didn't see anything from his side. So hopefully it's a non-issue and we'll shoot around it. And we'll see how she looks naked on Monday.
