My Super Hot Photo Shoot, Part Two

Calling your expert, artistic eye back to the decision room, please!

On Wednesday, your wonderful selves helped sieve out the ideal from the not-so-ideal author bio candidates. Based on views alone, we’re left with these three:

This is my attempt at character.

I said laugh, don't howl like a banshee!

We're totally invading my friend's stoop.

The photo shoot moved south from Gulfport, and I changed outfits. The first part was the eclectic-electric (and did you catch the ode to Velma and Daphne in the ensemble?) version of Von. The second shoot, I was going for spiritual, contemplative Von. With chains, of course.

Again, throwing the raw files up, with a couple that have been slightly enhanced. So what’s it gonna be, Dear Reader? I say, narrow it down to your Top Two in the Comments section! Enjoy judging.

Location: Pass-A-Grille Historic District, St. Pete Beach, Florida

This one has a lot of wind, I like all the motion.
Fun fact: I still have the pantyhose on under these already tight jeans. Amazing my knees bend!
My attempt at butch.
I was looking at a pretty white-and-blue sailboat thinking, damn, I wish I owned a sailboat.
What I appreciate most out of life? Freedom.
Squiiiiiiiiint!

My Super Hot Photo Shoot, Part One

Edited manuscript? Check.

Cover artwork? Check.

Leading pages? Check.

Author Photo? Hrmm.

Do we really need to put a picture on the back of the book? Can’t people just assume I’m a crazy-haired cat lady who watched too many G.I. Joe cartoons as a kid? Well, according to my friend Carolyn, everyone looks at the author’s picture on the back of the book. Why, Carolyn, whyyy? Because as the reader goes through the words, they want to flip back and look at the kind of person who created this world.

Oh oh.

Seeing that she’s living the life I want, completely able to sustain her lifestyle off her art, I should listen to the gal. So off I go, and enlist my filmmaker friend to play Annie Leibovitz to my Whoopi Goldberg.

I already don’t like to wear makeup, I don’t like to wear fitted clothes, and I don’t like to be outside when it’s cold, so you BETTER like these attempts I made, cuz I’m doing it for you, Dear Reader, I’m doing it…FOR YOUUUU!

We’ve yet to select the final shot, so feel free to recommend which one we should clean and send to copy in the Comments section!

LOCATION: City of Gulfport, Florida

Before you get all pro photog on me, yes, the lighting was super bright, yes, I need to widen my eyes more, and yes, there’s too many shadows. That’s why Photoshop was invented!

The color play is great. My over-whiteness, not so much.
Weird, weird shadow casts on this street.
This one has the most eyeballs. Damn, my white skin.
Squinting. Big problem throughout the day.
This isn’t bad. Not AS squinty.
This is what I call the Weight Watchers Pose.
We’re totally invading my friend’s stoop.
Kisses!
