Whilst I was in Amsterdam last month, I had the pleasure to work with a fellow visitor from England. (28 February 2010) Yes, Andy Dendy whom I befriended in Facebook via a network of photographers. He happened to be around that weekend because our friend, fellow model Nathalie van den Heuvel, was having a birthday session followed by a night at a fetish club! In fact, I met Nathalie for the first time during this trip though we have been chatting on Facebook all this time...!
My image of Andy was completely different from what I had imagined. On Facebook, he is always mentioning "going to the pub" so my vision of him was some loud white-van-man type whom I expected to show up staggering with a lager in one hand. I was wrong! Apart from being sober, Andy turned out to be such a sweet, gentle, funny and friendly guy, totally harmless. And he's such an awesome photographer. I like the fact that he takes photos from interesting angles like lying on the floor so I could look like a 6' tall leggy knockout... why can't more togs do that??? They can all learn from this!!!
We had the pictures taken at Alan's house in Amsterdam, a rather spacious and well-lit flat which is a perfect location for shoots. I've never done a shoot wearing Latex before, let alone trying one on till a few days ago at a shop for the first time, so I was ever so excited!!! They are also quite expensive so I never ventured out to purchase any. Luckily, Andy brought some over with him from England for me to try on... and WOW! I see what people mean when they say Latex is second skin! It is very comfortable and makes me feel so sexy!!!
We thought we'd warm up by doing a cute Pink theme. Pink wig with pink PVC miniskirt and matching top I happened to buy a few days ago when I was shopping with Nathalie. This is supposed to be happy, cute and silly, and I had so much fun! As with latex, I've never done a shoot wearing a wig before. I quite liked the idea and thought to myself I ought to get shot in wigs more often especially in interesting colours... also quite liked the bob!
The next two sets were down to the seriously mean femme fatale look, a sharp contrast to the bubble-gum cute pink theme... I chose the black dress with the high collar to enhance the Oriental look and put my hair up in a high ponytail holding a whip and wearing a pair of high heels with studs on bottom... then for the second set I changed into another black latex dress but this time with a zipper in the front to give me a cleavage effect (I know, what cleavage?). I put on a pair of hotpink pvc gloves and let my hair down... wow, I really do love latex! If I had all the money in the world, I'd have a wardrobe full of latex outfits in all different colours... black, blue, red, yellow... pink!
I am very pleased with the outcome of the pictures, Andy. Well done! I really do look 6' tall, scary and dominating. Hope to shoot with you again sometime... perhaps with Nathalie too! Many thanks!
