BURNING RUBBER: FAST CARS & CHICKS

OK, at 7am I was again awakened by love cries that seemed to be coming from the room above. Please! Lots of early birds around here! I still managed to fall back asleep and wake up again at 10am.  It’s at that time that Martin realized that he had lost his cell phone. It probably fell somewhere on Hollywood blvd. Shit! We wanted to go back and check the stores we had visited… and also to shoot. First off, we went to Gwen Media for makeup (there’s a lovely well-lit makeup counter) and to call the cell phone to see if anyone would answer (no luck). At Gwen Media, we found a photographer and a model doing a shoot but I couldn’t see her face. At this time, Martin came into to makeup area to share with me Bob’s recent proposition: to shoot with the model (who was none other than Jean Bardot also known as Rubberella a well-known fetish model in the video industry!) plus a second model arriving shortly. And the setup would be Bob’s fantastic car, a yellow Viper! I’m not a big car fan, and not the type that would do shoots with cars, but this car is awesome. It’s hard to pass this by. So, why not!? Hollywood blvd will still be there tomorrow since we have nothing planned anyways. Our phone could also wait.

Sandra, the 3^rd model, arrived just as I was finishing up my makeup. She’s a beautiful blue-eyed, blond hair Dutch with a square jaw and a firm body. As for Rubberella, she’s very tall and thin with charming azure-blue eyes and black hair. This would we a “red, blond and brunette” style photo shoot. Rubberella wore a yellow catsuit and corset. Also in yellow, Sandra wore a top, undies, garters, stockings and gloves. As for me, I wore my red catsuit and corset from Polymorphe. Bob started the shoot just with Rubberella and Sandra and when I joined in, Martin took over. At first it wasn’t too obvious how to pose in front of and on the side of this car with two other models that I didn’t really know. Shooting two is ok, but three or more is much more difficult because you can’t always see the expressions the other two have. Also, at the beginning of the shoot, there was some shyness in the air but after a while things went smoothly… until Rubberella’s catsuit tore on her bum forcing her to go and change. She came back with a black catsuit and a yellow corset. I thought that it was even prettier than the first one considering that now, we all had a different color on.

We shot most of the afternoon, sometimes all three, sometimes me and Sandra (while Rubberella got changed). The energy was quite sensual and Sandra played our little private slave. Rubberella even wore a strap-on (at Bob’s request) that she didn’t really use on Sandra. It was more for show; an accessory. At the end both of them did some shots in and in front of a standing coffin covered in black latex. It was beautiful to see. At the end, I even suggested that Sandra be alone in the coffin and all we would see would be her gloved hand sticking out closing it. Not a bad idea eh?

 When they were done, I did a couple of solo shots in front of the car. I concluded by posing nude and I took it upon myself to gently climb onto the hood of the car to lie down on my side. Even nude, I didn’t want to move too much. J You really don’t want to scratch a car like this one! All went well and we ended at 7pm. I was famished (I had only eaten 2 bagels all day) and had a headache. I would have eaten on site but Bob had invited us and Rubberella to dinner in Hollywood at a Mexican restaurant, with some of his friends. Why not? I adore Mexican food!

We ate like kings and also had a few drinks J. We then went for another drink in a local bar decorated Japanese style. I felt a bit underdressed with my jeans (nope, no latex this evening) while Rubberella (beautiful, and so nice) wore a light, black dress with high-heeled sandals. Oh well. That didn’t stop me from having a couple of drinks, pretty strong ones I must say (my head was starting to spin a little bit).

We got back at around 12:30am. We had lots of fun today! It’s always fun doing improvised shoots and what could be better than doing it with 2 beautiful and charming models like Rubberella and Sandra?? I probably won’t get a chance to shoot with Sandra as she’s going back to Holland. As for Rubberella, who knows when I’ll see her again? I’m really happy to have gotten to know her. She’s patient and kind, but I’m convinced that she could be a severe dominatrix as well. J

RED CATSUIT AT HOLLYWOOD BLVD.

Once again, people were having early morning sex. At 9am, I’m a Zombie! Maybe I’m not the normal one after all? Well, at least it gave me the opportunity to get up early and after a bagel breakfast, we went to Gwen Media for makeup and hair. Today, we wanted to go back on Hollywood blvd to shoot a bit and also check out the stores that we visited to see if they didn’t find our cell phone. My makeup will consist of smoky eyes, red lips and my hair would be wild à la Vamp. With my catsuit, my 3-buckel corset, my little gloves and my short boots (all in red), I was sure to get lots of attention on Hollywood blvd!

We got to the Walk of Fame at around 1pm. There were lots of people and many took photos of me. Some even thought that I was a street performer and wanted to take pictures of me with their children. It was pretty funny. Even for Hollywood I was extravagant. Long live latex! We took many pictures with the stars including Elvis Presley and Farah Fawcett (Richard will be very happy!!!). We wanted to take some shots in front of the Chinese Theatre but after a few shots we were told that we were on private property and needed a permit. What? I’m just a tourist dressed in latex! Anyways, we continued our stroll taking pictures here and there. We looked for Marilyn Monroe’s star but couldn’t find it. Too bad. I also sat down and read to local paper in front of a huge poster and took a few shots with actors dressed up as Superman and Batman. They were really happy that Martin took some shots of them with me. Even to the point that Superman took pictures with Batman’s camera and vice-versa! Cute! It was now 4pm and we were hungry. So we decided to do just a couple of more shots on the tourist red carpet in front of the Kodak Theatre. Every one were looking at me and taking my picture. Again, after a couple of snaps, a police officer came over and explained to us that there’s a private part all along Hollywood blvd (there’s a line on the sidewalk) and to shoot professionally, we would require a permit. That concluded our shoot and, starving, we then went over to MacDonald’s. Martin took about 200 photos and even filmed a bit. This was an awesome experience! I always love shooting in public, even more on popular streets! It’s always fun seeing people’s reactions. There were even a few cars passing by and honking. I adore all the attention. It makes me feel invincible! You might actually get to see some of the people’s reactions from Martin’s video.

We then jumped into the car and headed to Sword and Stone to meet the owner Tony and Jody Cortes, one of his friends and photographer. I decided to stay in latex because I didn’t feel like changing in the car. I still wanted to take off the sweat-wet catsuit. It was about 28C in the sun today! Once on site, I greeted both Tony (a really nice guy) and Jody (a little bit of a teaser) and went to change in something more comfortable. Oops, I noticed that I had forgotten my clothes at Gwen Media! Oh well. So I went back to see Tony and he gave me a tour of his workshop. For those of you wondering how we know Tony, well, it was at the 2003 RubberBall. He came to see me asked me if I would ever want a metal ensemble. In exchange, I would wear it and promote it on his site and mine and maybe even in magazines… who knows? Being in L.A., it was the ideal time to drop in and take my chest measurements. I tried on a couple of metal bras including a black one with a spider web design. If I had more time this week, I could’ve worn that bra and have Jody take a couple of shots but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to.  We’ll see. If not, it’ll be for next time. Tony also crafts metal swords, armour and knives. His creations are bought all over the world mostly for movies. Have you seen Hook by Disney? The hook worn by Dustin Hofman, was made by Tony. It was even there at his workshop and I held it in my hands. His workshop is a true Alibaba’s cavern!

We made it back to the hotel at around 8pm. We were happy with our very productive day but sad not to have found our cell phone. We might have to buy another one and have it sent by express courier. L We also had the opportunity to go out tonight at a fetish club called The Dungeon but we were too tired. Next time we’re in town. It’s now time for a well deserved shower and then time to hit the sac.

At around 9am the next morning, it wasn’t sounds of passion that woke me up but screams of a couple fighting. A little early to go at it. I finally woke up at 11am and we headed to the studio. We would have it to ourselves all day. Hooray! Today, we wanted to recreate the silver setup we had with Masuimi but without the rounded part this time. We also wanted to use a spherical cage that we could suspend via a pulley system. So we placed 3 panels on the wall secured with jacks and the other panels on the floor. The last thing to do was to suspend the cage and voilà! The setup was ready. All I had to do was to put on my makeup (smoky-blue eyes), do my hair (straight and loose) and get dressed (leotard, corset, laced opera gloves, and socks; all black and blue. Also a black g-string, fishnet stockings and black ankle-high boots). Once done, we started shooting with the cage and then standing without the cage. We also did some shots sitting and against the silver wall. Once in a while Martin would use the video camera. I have to admit that, with these clothes on I felt really sexy so it wasn’t hard for me to pose for the camera or video! Next, I had spotted some ballet shoes in Bob’s closet so I suggested to put them on and take a couple of shots leaning and on the cage! It was lots of fun but in the end, my toes were in pain just from walking around in them (I can walk a little bit with fetish ballet shoes but not too long). Saying that, there isn’t a fetish shoe that has a heel as high as ballet shoes. After a while, I couldn’t take the pain anymore even if I were just sitting on the cage, so I put my little black boots back on. Anyways, it was time to climb into the cage. The cage was a bit small to stand in but I found many original positions that you’ll have a chance to see shortly. J We were done at around 8pm. We took around 740 shots today!  It’ll be difficult to make the selection!

Tomorrow, I get to shoot with Emily Marilyn. I’m sure we’ll have a blast. We also have to get in touch with Julie Strain (she left us an email saying she was only available on the 12^th and would love to shoot with me and her sister Lizzy and even take some shots of me) to know at what time we have to be there. Since I’m shooting with Julie on Friday, I postponed my session with Marla to Saturday the 13^th. I also have to get in touch with the Playboy agent to find out if I got the role for Naked News. Lastly, I have to get in touch with Jodi to know where we’ll be shooting in Las Vegas (again for the Playboy special edition. It’s officially confirmed). It’s a bit of a nag not having our cell phone but luckily we still have internet. And to know that I hated the internet before!!... What would I do without it today??? J
