From Trash to Cash: the river overflows

Sorry, that was a bit of an essay!
I'm a bit shell shocked. Honestly thought he'd chase me to the train station, and phone died on the way home so OH worried, bless him. He's okay now, though.
Puppy is great too, he's really surprising us with his improvement.

Have you been up too much today?

Dare I say I used to be a photographer for a make over studio *runs and hides*

we had to take 40 photos in 30 minutes with 3 costume changes and 3 hairstyle changes fitted in too..... honestly its horrid for the staff too, I lasted for 6 months and then became press instead lol.

It was back in 1996, and we got a bonus if someone spent over £1000 on photos :eek::eek:

lol Jo - I can still remember 6 very quick poses on the back of a bistro chair/lying down,/standing/holding to various props lol!

All in the days pre-digital. I'm amazed they took so long for you Saucy as we could do it in less than 2 hours including processing film!!

The strangest was when my last client of the day, unusually a man turned up with a huge suitcase, turned out he had brought all his own dresses, and wanted to be treated as a woman....very hard to disguise his big hands though pmsl! It was when he told me that his wife thought he was at a business meeting......
