L3ah does this, L3ah does that

So yesterday was my big shoot. I thought things would go according to clock work. Well in L3ah’s head, everything goes according to plan. Not so much in real life.

I got 10 wonderful hours of sleep. Woke up at 9. Started to get ready. Loaded up the car at 11. Got Waffle all strapped in (she wasn’t too happy about being in the car). And headed over to Bell-Square for make up (at 11:30).

I got to the Dior counter at 11:30 to find it unmanned L  I asked another counter and they said the consultant had just taken a break! WFT?! I’m a tight schedule here. I have to be in Seattle at 12:30! I was so mad! They said to wait about 10 mins for him to come back. I strolled around Macy’s, being asked if “I needed any help” about 10 times. 15 minutes later my consultant strolls in. just a few “oh, I’m so sorry-”ies and we get started.
Thankfully the final result looked really nice. I’ve never had my make up fully done before. I can do some eye shadow and foundation but that’s as brave as I get. I had the works done to me. I felt pretty *teehee*

Afterwards they always ask if you want to purchase any of the products used so I ended up with a f’ing $25 eyeliner brush and $45 with of foundation. I’ll never throw them away because they say “Dior” on them. I hurried through the mall to the car. Waffle was all slobbery but ok.

Thankfully I didn’t get lost on the way to the studio and found decent parking (which I had to pay for L ). Waffle managed to hold in her breakfast until we got out of the car. I had her sit in the back where there was more room while I went to the studio. I’m pretty sure she hated me at this point.

I went to Iris Studio on the edge of the International District. I met with Don & Su of Erotica Mystique photography. They’re a husband and wife team. Sue attempted to help me with my hair and fix any make up that might show better on film. I’m SO picky about my hair I was getting a bit flustered. I really had no idea what I was doing. I just tried to give up and let her do whatever she felt was best. We managed to shoot about 4 different outfits into 2 hours. Don and Su both took pictures so I’ll end up with twice as many shots with different angles for the same pose. I liked their approach. They’re very easy to get along with too.

Waffle was very happy to get out of the car when I got back. We headed over to Zac’s afterwards, we were going to see a movie at Central Cinemas.

I’ve always wanted to go here. You can get food and drink with your movie! They don’t show the big current blockbusters that a normal movie theater would have, but they do have great indie movies. We came to see Hank and Mike. I liked it. I can see why it is an indie movie though. I want to know how many bunny suits they had to go through just for this film, lol. The food was really good and reasonably priced too. We’ll be going back there in a week or so for Found Footage.
