The Man Room 07_17_07.jpg

Yeah the brass pole is now in my "Man Room". This image was Wanda's concept.

She played on her new pole for just a few minutes and Wanda doesn't know if she will be able to move tomorrow. I'm thinking it will be worth it in the long run.

The opposite end of the Man Room has a great home theater setup with a nice old fashion popcorn cart. I think we'll spend lots of quality family time in this room.

Maybe Bill is too busy, entertaining all 3 clones, to post any photos. A hard job, but someone's got to do it !
Bob D. 26-Jul-2007 16:28
It's been over a week now and this is still the only picture from the man room. I keep looking every day hoping for more. This image has me wanting more.

Great concept Bill and Wanda,..love your work! Very creative!
Eric Hewis22-Jul-2007 08:30
I had to take another look, I never noticed the shoes!
Come to think of it, I didn't take a lot of notice of Bill.
Guest 21-Jul-2007 14:55
Wow-- got me attention to it because it is very creative and it is so nice to see Bill in the pictures from time to time. Wanda is beautiful, brave, awesome, patience and respectful person. 5 stars! Keep up great work.
Tom Herbert 20-Jul-2007 20:02
Yes I bet they get worn that way alot. OR just by great models like your self!!!
Wm. Bates20-Jul-2007 16:41
Tom,

I am almost certain those shoes were designed to be worn horizontally (wink). Anyone who can actually walk in them with any amount of grace really has My admiration.

Wanda
Tom Herbert 20-Jul-2007 14:14
WOW Wanda very nice web site to shop on. I will have to sit with my wife tonight and do a little shopping on the web. Thank you very much. I bet those shoes are hard to walk in?

Thanks again from one of your fans

Very clever concept Wanda and well executed Bill.
Wm. Bates20-Jul-2007 01:59
Tom,

I got those "Sky High Heels" from a very dear friend who knew that Bill and I would appreciate them. . . . but you can find some for your wife here:

Enjoy,

Wanda

Looks like quality family time to me........
Willa Dios19-Jul-2007 14:15
This is TOO funny, you guys! Nice new "Man Room", but now come on, Wanda ... where's the "Women's Room" girlfriend? I was to see some similar photos of BILL, lol. As always, another great and fun-to-view shot by Mr. Bates. ;)
Steve Patterson19-Jul-2007 12:35

absolutly amaizing work !
Tom Herbert 18-Jul-2007 21:32
OK WHERE DID SHE GET THOSE SKY HIGH HEELS IN THE FAR POSE

I NEED TO ORDER MY WIFE A PAIR??
Guest 18-Jul-2007 21:01
Fantastic, just fantastic, thanks for the insight on the setup. You nailed the exposure quite well, and the final product is just awesome !
Todd 18-Jul-2007 16:51
Great job Bill, or should I say Wanda this time, very creative, the wife was especially impressed. As always, a constant source of inspiration. If one Wanda's great, three's... well even better. I'm building a "Mans Room" of sorts myself, the a 37 x 28 garage in our new home, cathedral ceiling, radiant heat, surround sound, couch and a slick off Brandon Bernsteins car for a coffee table. I thought I had it all figured out, but now I see I'm missing something!

Great Job!,
Todd & Jen

Fantastic job in PS Bill,and Jim as I typed "singles",I wondered how long it would be before someone hit on that.I even checked back to see.
Wm. Bates18-Jul-2007 14:56
Ok the camera was on a tripod, focus set to manual, exposure set to manual to keep the exposure the same... metered off the lights in the top of the frame and then shots were done with the timer.
Guest 18-Jul-2007 14:06
Terrific image - did you fix the camera on a tripod and setup a sequence of shots with a remote ?
Guest 18-Jul-2007 12:12
Excellent image and PS work. Very creative you guys. I can't see your layers at all.
Guest 18-Jul-2007 12:02
Yup, I’m sure of it, I want to be reincarnated as Bill !

Awesome composition and nice Photoshop skills to boot.

Congratulations on your very succesfull Wanda-clooning, wouldn't consider selling one, would you ?
Wm. Bates18-Jul-2007 05:44
Yeah it does look that way but it just the pants over my fat gut :^{
James Lundy18-Jul-2007 03:50
Dude I know I am gonna get flamed for being the one to notice this. But how about photoshopin out the tent you pitched in the chair with the red shirt.
willy 18-Jul-2007 03:39
I STILL like the painting job on the walls Bill... and I ain't sayin no more.... other than "good lawd... have mercy"..... *gulp*
cougar_6118-Jul-2007 02:31
I haved posted in a while - but I had to this time - NICELY DONE!!!!
Wm. Bates18-Jul-2007 02:02
Mr D ... been to long since we've done Vegas. We did have some great times. We need to get the old gang together again one of these days.
Jim McKinlock18-Jul-2007 02:01
OMG this is just awesome. Wanda, you sure know how to work the room, and you look like a real Pro on that pole, and here I thought the only strippers Bill knew where named Bambi (vague referance to someone elses comment long ago)

Dave,
singles?? dream on, you better start saving 20's and lots of them.
Dave Salyer 18-Jul-2007 01:58
For some reason I am reminded of a VERY late nite in Vegas years ago (that I can almost remember) when I view this picture . . .. Bill, I believe the Man Room might need a poker, blackjack or craps table or even a slot machine. Wait - what am I thinking - with entertainment like this who would want to gamble!
Gary Blanchette18-Jul-2007 01:38
Bill! I'm not sure I should be thinking what I am thinking!
Roger McCallen17-Jul-2007 23:20
Weel strike one more fantasy off my list, great image. Voted!
Craig 17-Jul-2007 22:53
Gosh! I need a mans room like this. I "Like " all the new additions.... WOW Have a great time Bill and Wanda thats what life is all about... YTou guys are the best...
Dave Callahan Photography17-Jul-2007 22:45
well done!I've got to start saving up my singles
Wm. Bates17-Jul-2007 21:56
The pole installs and removes quickly, with no damage to the floor or ceiling. We ordered it fromhttp://www.platinumstages.com if any one might want one.
Wm. Bates17-Jul-2007 21:49
Well it is really pole (new this morning) and it is in our home. It was great and somewhat silly addition to the "Man Room" in the basement.
John Buffin17-Jul-2007 21:49
Awesome composition. What's better than one Wanda? Yup, three Wanda's.
Yves Pinsonneault. Photographe17-Jul-2007 21:47
Well exeuted very funny Image ...

Tell me you don't have a real pole like this at home lol
Jola Dziubinska17-Jul-2007 21:31
