Luckily, today's model Amandine was a sweetheart who re-fuelled me as we worked. A mediocre model by the end of a production is a nightmare – nothing comes for free, but this petite French brunette with the soft gentle eyes brought a fresh breeze with her and my inspiration came back. She has just begun a career as a show dancer and I literally had a couple of "private-dances" during the first 30 minutes, all caught on film of course. From there we just kept up the same pace and 800 images later we were both dead meat. Another great day.

Tomorrow Darine should be touching down in Paris straight from her assignment in Hawaii, although I have my doubts. There has been earth quakes in that region recently and that always interrupts the flow of air traffic. I haven't heard from Darine in a week and, you know what they say, a week's a long time in the model business. Stay tuned. We shall see.
