I didn't sleep well again last night. Not only because other people were making noise till late but also because I could feel all the nervousness and anxiety building up inside of me. I've been dreaming for so long to be on the cover of Marquis and now my dream was becoming reality. Why all that nervousness and anxiety? I'm confident in my talents as a model… But I have to admit that Marquis is a magazine that impresses me by the quality of the subjects exploited and by the beauty of the models chosen. Also, the models are represented with class and the rare nudity shown is illustrated with elegance and without excess. So as a little Canadian girl completely new in the field, I won't be going there with the idea to impress these people that have seen the best of the fetish scene. I'm going there with the objective to make this one of my best experiences as a model. But I have to admit that I'm somewhat intimidated… ;-)

While in the shower this morning, I had to concentrate really hard not to loose my head! I had what we might call an uncertainty crisis. What would happen if I weren't inspired during the shoot? Or if the area doesn't inspire me? How long will I be in front of the camera? How does Peter W. Czernich work? All those questions just spinning inn my head! I feel a bit pale but I can't wait to go there and start. I've rarely worked with another photographer other than Martin. We've been working together for so long that we know exactly how to work together. I only hope that I'll have as much success with Peter…

We took the car to go to the studio. It's 9 am. We didn't have to look long since we located the place the night before just to be on the safe side. The walls of the building are covered in windows. It reminds me of a warehouse. A few construction workers are working outside. You can see that the studio will soon be renovated into a very big production studio for both photography and video. As we walk in, we're greeted by a charming lady. She brings us to Peter's office and he seems very happy to see us. The ice is broken very easily. Peter comments right away on the color of my hair and to my great pleasure (and relief) he finds it original! I sit down and we start discussing the plan of the day. Peter proposes to start the shoot by a lake that he knows. Why not? It's not too cold and natural settings usually inspire me very much. This discussion excites me since I'm realizing that the moment long waited for is finally here! He then suggests taking a few pictures in the studio and on the roof. That should be fun! Yes!

Without further a due, the professional makeup artist gets started on my face. She also puts a few rollers in my hair. In 1 hour I look like a fashion model from the 60s! It's a completely new look for me and I find it very original! I've never seen myself like this before. The red on my lips contrasts with my hair and the wavy streak on my forehead gives me a mischievous look. Once again, to my great pleasure, I'll be able bring out another side of me. Maybe that little girly and flirty side. Hihi… Both Peter and Martin smile once they witness my finished transformation. They seem satisfied with the results! And so am I!

An hour later we were all at the lake. The air is sweet and the sun brilliant in the sky. Peter found a nice secluded area in the woods by the shoreline. The water is warm and shallow but first I have to get dressed in latex. Peter suggests a tiny lilac colored shirt with leggings to match. A very tight black corset accentuates my waist. I'm also wearing thick rubber boots and gloves kind of like fishing gear. A new world opens up to me and all of a sudden I feel like an Amazon hunter fishing with a sharpened wooden spear! It's a really cool feeling to be completely covered in latex a splashing through water and muddy soil. I quickly get into the rhythm that I usually have with Martin during our photo shoots. Peter is easy to work with and the atmosphere is very relaxed. He sometimes guides me and lets me take all the breaks that I need. Without a doubt, we work really well together. He even lets Martin film the photo shoot. I feel like the queen of the game and that we're all connected on the same wave length, the same energy. I'm a playful little girl seducing the camera while playing in the water.

After a few rolls of film, I jump into another outfit. This time it's a tight, neck high, sleeveless shirt and hot pants, both red. I'm also wearing a pair of red opera gloves and thigh high boots. The complete costume was lent to me by Kate (the owner of the Fetish Café). A skip and a hop and I'm in the woods. Luckily there are no wolves around to eat the Little Red Riding Hood. Hihi! ? I truly feel mischievous and ready to do a prank on someone. What should I do? There are many blackberry bushes around. So many in fact that you could feed an entire army! Hmmmmm…. Since I don't have that many opportunities to eat some in Montreal, I run straight for them. Peter takes everything with the camera. He finds me very cute and amusing. Why shouldn't I just cover my body with them? How many chances will I have to do that in my life? Martin and Peter play along. All 3 of us are picking berries so that I can have tons of them in my hands to squish them sensually on my body. The blackberries slowly slide down the red latex. My eyes become teasing and seductive. I have so many berries on me that I could be dessert! Hihihi…

I jump back into the lake to get cleaned up: this time naked. We then return to the studio for lunch. It's 1 pm and we're all satisfied with this morning's shoot. It's time to rest a little before the afternoon session. Still with the 60s look, the makeup artist pulls my hair up into a bun. I'm now a new Bianca. ;-)

We opted to do the next shoot on the roof to take full advantage of the sunlight. Peter proposes that I try a transparent plastic outfit. I first slip on a pair of shorts followed by a tight shirt. I then cover myself with a raincoat falling down to my bum cheeks. Everything is transparent but the stitching is black adding an interesting contrast. A pair of short black gloves and knee-high boots with 7-inch heels finish the costume. I feel that my legs are long and slim. Once more, the transformation is remarkable! Doing photo shoots really gives me the opportunity to exploit many different characters!

Peter even added a transparent chair for me to sit on during the shoot. The sun pierces my eyes and makes me grimace. Peter smiles and brings me a pair of silver sunglasses. Wow! I've now become a mysterious woman where the transparency of my outfit provokes the voyeurs. I love it! I play with the chair, tip over, fall and laugh. I then take off the sexy raincoat to discover my body's curves. It's the first time that I wear a plastic outfit and I'm considering getting one once back in Montreal…

We're now done shooting on the roof. We're almost at the end of our day. We go inside to continue. Unfortunately, we can't shoot in his new studio since renovations are taking place. So in the mini studio it is! The room is very cozy and there's a large chair that I'll be able to use. For the last costume of the day, I put on thigh-high transparent stockings with a black line running down the back, a transparent bathing suit, short transparent gloves, and finally, an amazing back latex trench coat falling to my feet. WOW! It took Martin a good 10 minutes just to lube it but the result is the fantastic! Thank god Martin was there to help me change, capture images with his camera and to give me comforting smiles when I felt a bit nervous. To finish the outfit, I wore a pair of black stiletto boots. I now feel mysterious with a hint of danger in my eyes. Playing with the coat is great. I take the belt and play with it around my neck. I have a malicious and provocative stare. I almost have the impression that fangs are growing in my mouth. I have a wild energy. Oops! My nails pierce one of the gloves… oops…

Finally, I switch from the stilettos to a pair of black army boots that go just above the ankles. I then put on the transparent costume with a black latex mini skirt dangling in the wind. My thick curly hair falls freely on my shoulders giving me a new lightness. The fighter in me comes out. I'm now a street fighter! I clench my fists giving the lens a defiant smile. I recapture my teenage energy from the time I lived in one of the poor neighborhoods of Montreal; where I often had to resist the savage atmosphere. A raging force takes hold of my body. Nothing's impossible! Click! The last photo is taken…

It's 6 pm and we're back at our hotel. The adrenalin is gone now, replaced by calm and serenity. We can't wait to see the results. We won't see anything for quite a few weeks… unfortunately. It's shower time! Then a quiet dinner with Martin and Peter…

The day as a whole was a complete success! Never could I have imagined such a day. I'm so happy to see how much fun all three of us had. Peter did more than just make us at ease. He also made us feel appreciated and because of that, the day was even more unforgettable! I surprise myself thinking of coming back here for another photo shoot… And I can't even begin to imagine all the possibilities that the new official Marquis studio will be able to offer! I really love doing latex photography…
