Smile or Cry

Last month, I had yet another photo shoot to play a model at and recreate a character. So, I happily obliged.

Indeed.

They told me, “Come to be dressed as Jackie O with a modern twist”. I said, “I already am”.

“You’d have to smile a bit”…

“And cry a bit too”…

“And exist in a world when TV was still B&W”…

“Plus, you’d have to be Marilyn for a bit too”…

“So, hello, Mr. President!” ❤️

That was definitely a fun day. And a special one because I dragged my kid along as the photographer was gracious enough to take his pictures at the end too.

On a scale of zero to minus fifty, how happy do you think a 19 year-old boy was to sit through a 3-hour shoot?! I mostly just threatened and bribed him to come along, okay, and guilt tripped him too. “It’s a Mother’s Day gift”, I said.

 

So, this was his attitude.

As the crew was shooting me, he was shooting the crew.

Two PITAs cancel each other out, right?

No matter how obnoxious he is, I still love him to death.

So, happy Mother’s Day to me!
