Semi-nude modeling

[beetiger]

I never quite got naked on Friday night. Paul had asked me to bring a lot of costume pieces with me to play around with, and we got rather into the aesthetic of my puffy taffetta miniskirt, the one I usually wear with a fairly extreme corset but which turns out to look pretty nice topless, and by time I stopped spinning around with it, we’d taken a gig of pictures and decided that that was enough for now. I wore it with the waist low, showing my tummy, which is currently at the stage where it’s hard to tell if I’m pregnant or just somewhat overdosed on hot fudge sundaes.

I’m a cruddy poser, but pretty good at not being self-conscious if I’m moving. All of the best shots were one he caught while I was dancing with myself. I’m not very shy at all, when I’m with people whom I think enjoy me.

The new icon’s a snippet from the shoot. We did a bunch of pieces with the bee wings and toy bee, a few of which ended up having a distinctly fae look to them which pleased me.

sythyry was worried about the wrong things. He doesn’t know Paul as well as I do, and was vaguely unsettled about me going out to pose for someone I met at a poly munch and in whom I’m not particularly interested sexually. He didn’t suspect the real danger—that I’d get shown lots of beautiful albums of women in their ninth month, and women nursing their new babies, and brand new families, and that I’d be inspired to consider spending lots and lots of money on portraits.

Everything’s digital these days, so I’ve already got proofs and jpegs. I probably won’t do much with this set – a few prints to amuse me, and maybe something more when I can put it in the context of a full pregnancy series. Next session will be in August. I want to do something outdoors with lots of flowers, and actually get to the full nudity next time.

Happy First Mother's Day! The new icon is certainly lovely.

For some reason when you said you were modeling, I'd thought you were going to go get drawn by lots of art students! You're a pretty kitty, though. ('gryn)

Love the new icon! I'm glad you had a good time modelling.

I'd love to get an art school gig sometime, but I'm not organized enough to go look for it.

Would you be willing to post or otherways share some of the modeling pics? They sound wonderful! Sigh; I've always wanted to play dress up for some pin-up photography, or get a really good artsy tattoo portrait taken--thanks for the vicarious experience. :)

I won't post that stuff publically, for a combination of professional reasons for the photographer and privacy reasons for me -- but I'll send you something offlist, Heather.
