You don't want to make Wanda mad. She might just pounce and rip you a new one.

OK, here is Wanda trying to look tough between giggles.

As difficult as this was for you,it is an incredible and haunting shot!It should be called Batmans Lover

This concept was Bill's idea and I wasn't having much fun trying to accomodate him! The difficult part for Me was finding a way to balance My weight while holding My head just right so that hair would cover My bare boobies. It was difficult to hold My weight up on My fingertips rather than placing My palms down, but the image always looked better with My hands that way. I tried once to make a fist and balance My weight that way, but the hard cement floor under the space blanket hurt My knuckles too much.

During a shoot when I start to get tired or frustrated, I start to giggle. After a while if I don't "get serious" Bill will get frustrated with Me and give Me one of his "mean, crusty," looks. So then I get upset with him and give him a mean, crusty look right back! In this shot I may have been thinking, "you better get a good shot and soon, cuz I am so DONE, and if one of My nipples is showing, you AINT gunna post it!" . . .(laffin).

I can laugh now, but honestly, as I look back, I sometimes wonder how we ever completed this project with out killing each other! (grin)

Oh! BTW Bill, ... when Wanda is in this kind of mood, it probably wouldn't be a very good idea to try to twist her arm to make you an apple pie. Wait a couple of days. Trust me.
Guest 04-Mar-2005 03:25
OUCH!
John S. Nasche04-Mar-2005 02:59
Is it possible that this is the same woman in the purple dress and red hat? (Grin.) Makes me glad that she's not pissed at ME, ... giggles or not!

I have been looking at your pictures for some time now. My favorite one was the one where she appeared to hold the moon on a beach. Absolutely terrific, however this one is very appealing as well. I like the expression of her face and that stance which truly makes her appear as if she will pounce you. YOu can really see the changes in your photography from the first month until now, truly you and her have grown with the experience. Nice job.
