Yes, I know what you’re thinking. Wow! It’s…it’s…it’s…a grain silo.
Soooo...is this Rich’s new artistic direction? Is this, in fact, photographic perfection? Is the true meaning of photographic fine art located within its stylish yet minimalist walls? (O.K. so only regular Lenswork Readers will get that joke.) I dunno. Somehow I feel this fabulous photograph lacks a certain something. Like, maybe, a nekkid chick…I’m jus’ sayin’…
Anyhoo, you’ll no doubt be pleased to know we have recovered both our common sense and good humour today. Thanks to those who took the trouble to contact me on and off blog. Supportive friends are always appreciated, and JimmyD's magnificent comment in particular is worth an entire post in itself.
Back to normal nude ‘n’ rude blogging shortly. In the meantime I’m recovering from the perpetual drama of the last few days by indulging in a bit of retail therapy, by treating myself to a new winter outfit, with Rich’s credit card, of course. So, here’s my online shopping basket of my favourite Italian Designer (for US readers remember £1= $1.8646 USD.) Please note we’re on a very tight budget here, so I was exceedingly restrained…very considerate of me, don’t you think?
1. Italian Soft Cotton Shirt £65. Add to basket.
2. Weekend Tweed Cropped Trousers in soft aubergine £85. Add to basket.
3. Silk and Cashmere Blend V-neck Sweater £195. Add to basket.
4. Suede Round Toe Long Boots (also in soft aubergine) £189. Add to basket.
5. Pair Carina Pearl Drop Earrings £45 x 2 (I have 2 holes in each ear, floozy that I am.) Add to basket.
6. Lucia Bangle £59. Add to basket.
And finally…the finishing touch…
7.Toscane Shearling Coat £1350. You betcha ass I'll Add to basket.
Finished!

Rich: Would you like a cup of tea my dear? Yes? Ah, I see you’re online again. So what photographs are you browsing now?
Me: Oh nothing darling. Just doing a bit of shopping...
Him (very suspiciously): What sort of shopping?
Me: Oh a new weekend outfit to dazzle you with dearest. You’ll like it, I promise…
Him: Let’s see then….HOLY CRAP!!! Don’t you bloody DARE buy that! Do you REALISE just how MUCH studio equipment that would buy???! No bloody way, Lady!
Me: Aha! So you’re not quite finished with studio stuff yet then? Gotcha!
Him: Humph!
Me: Click…
Me: Oops.
Anyone know a good divorce lawyer? Anyone? Anyone at all?

LOL....Been there done that in reverse.
Tell Rich to photograph you wearing these new threads...that breaks the fine arts nude buggaboo and justifies the price tag on the Italian goods. Think what he could do with the textures, the colors, the drape. Like old Flemish painting.
Whatever happened to the hot young guy with the white socks at the bank?
I was watching one of my former models shop online for clothes one day, while she was holding a conversation with me. When she went to check out she typed in the credit card number without even looking at one.
That is scary!
Thanks for the vote of confidence Dr L. I'm kind of feeling like an old Flemish right now, although more like a washerwoman than a work of art. Incidentally Orlando broke my heart and left the bank. His not-so-hunky replacement just isn't the same (sob!)
Dave, I have a photographic memory for numbers. If you were here I would gladly demonstrate this amazing memory trick - all you would need to do is to give me your credit card number and I personally guarantee that I'd memorize it (forever) in 20 seconds or less. Oddly enough I can never seem to remember my own. Most peculiar.
