One New Everyday Girl - London

I want to tell you something about Shay. She is a cool girl who has cool and very unique friends. Let's skip the cool part because if they do a foot shoot, that's a given. How unique are they? One friend has a cool accent and looks like a cute muppet or doll that came to life. Another friend looks just like a TV actress from the 90's show "The Parkers". Her most recent friend is 6'1, and has size 8 1/2 feet, sometimes 9. That brings us to our newest everyday girl, London.

The day I expected to just shoot Shay, she came with an entourage. Kimmy was with her, and so was a tall, very pretty girl named London who Shay said was going to shoot too. She said London was scared, so London clarified, and said she didn't know what the shoot was about. I introduced myself and explained it to her. She couldn't believe she was going to actually make big money for something so simple.

London's other reason for being hesitant about the shoot was she hated her feet. Of course, she has beautiful feet with high arches, and a tattoo to make them look good, but still hates them. However, she loves her fingers, and had them done. Her toes were lavender color, but she took it off. Even without nail polish, London's toes look fantastic! I love bare nails on girls anyway. If a girl can pull of bare nails, just imagine her toes with polish. Anyway, she was pretty much anti-foot. London also came straight from one place, right over to shoot, so she didn't prep herself as Shay did, or Kimmy [who also wanted to shoot, but had to leave for work]. I love it when girls come straight over from their routines because their feet and shoes are just right.

I got just what I wanted. London's boots were very worn, and she wore socks from the night before. She was cool about the whole thing, and didn't take issue with not being fully prepared, or about her boots or socks. See, I told you Shay had cool friends. Oh yeah, London's feet are very ticklish. I had to get in a few tickles during her foot massage. There was one issue London had, but I could tell she got over it. I added a bonus to the foot massage, which she really didn't want, but put up with it. What was the bonus? See her foot massage video to find out for yourself.

One New Everyday Girl - Alisha

t was one of those days when I felt like going to the store. As a matter of fact, I went to see if an employee I recently met, worked that day. She wore sunglasses and was on her cell phone like a famous person when I saw her. I couldn't take the chance of waiting until she finished her conversation, so I interrupted it. If you have something of substance to say and a true sense of urgency to say it, then say it. Besides, I could tell she talked with the person on the line a lot, so it wouldn't be as if she couldn't pick up where she left off. Also, with this, you have to know what you have to say is going to be more interesting than whatever it is the person is chatting about at the time. Getting back to the employee, she told me she had pretty feet without me asking, and she hadn't had a foot massage in a very long time. Unfortunately, I didn't see her that day, but I did see our newest everyday girl, Alisha, and her friend Bianca.

Alisha and Bianca were two live wires who were out and about doing whatever they pleased, based on how much fun they seemed to be having. Bianca had on sandals, and Alisha had on plain, thin sole, black flip flops [my favorite kind of flip flops]. All I could see were the insane arches of Alisha's small feet. Alisha was rather tall, so for her feet to be so small made her doubly unique. Bianca had rollers in her hair, and had the most amazing eyes. They had qualities and traits that I look for when I meet everyday girls and approach them.

We had a brief, yet animated conversation, and parted ways. They were skeptical at first, as they'd been scammed before. But with me, they had a good feeling this time. As a result, they had a fun shoot, and cannot wait to come back for another!

One New Everyday Girl - Melanie

One thing I like about shooting is the different people I meet. Although they are different, sometimes, they are very much the same. Take our newest everyday girl, Melanie, for example. The moment I saw her in person, she reminded me of Ruby. Their mannerisms were similar too, plus both were tomgirls. Melanie also reminded me of Natalie based on how she looked without her glasses. I enjoyed my shoots with Ruby and Natalie, so I looked forward to the same with Melanie.

Melanie didn't let me down in the least. She came over wearing really cool workout clothes. Yeah, I know, we didn't do a workout shoot [maybe next time]. But it was her classic Nike Shox that really made the outfit. I wanted to shoot her wearing the workout clothes, but didn't want to start something we couldn't finish, so she changed clothes. It had been a while since a girl came over wearing Shox, so I made sure Melanie wore hers as much as possible.

We had a really good shoot, and afterward, had a good talk about sports being fixed. As I said, Melanie was a tomboy. I definitely have to ask her to come back so we can get in a workout shoot. After telling you about her workout clothes, it would be a travesty for me not to ask her back so you can see them for yourselves.

One New Everyday Girl - Naiah

Its 2013, and we have our newest everyday girl, Naiah, to help start it off. There were two crazy things about Naiah's shoot. The first was, I didn't recognize her when she sent me pictures of herself, or when she came over in person....The second crazy thing, you will read about later.

Naiah came to me by way of Nina. Remember, Nina was the friend who came along with Sophia to make sure she was OK at her shoot. Naiah looked totally different then, but so did Nina the second time I saw her. Being polite, my focus is always on the person in front of my camera, not the person or people who come along. So when Nina came over, it was all about her. I guess being able to totally change looks is a skill both of them learned as friends.

One thing Naiah said during her first visit was she didn't like her feet. She said she had "hobbit feet". During a pause, I looked for myself. But I didn't dwell on them because Nina was just about ready for the next part of her shoot. OK, now here is that second crazy thing about Naiah's shoot--she locked herself out of her car!

She was in such a rush to get to the shoot, which she didn't have to be because she lived very close by, that she locked her keys in her car. I shot a model whose family owns a locksmith company, so I called her. Unfortunately, she didn't pick up, and when I looked up her family's company, they didn't provide after hours emergency service. We ended up calling another family-owned company. The husband, wife, and young son arrived shortly in their brand new SUV. Uh,oh! They mentioned a 15 percent discount in their ad, but it didn't help much with the after hours emergency call. Poor Naiah  handed over all the money from her shoot.....

Now, I was in no way obligated to help out with the locksmith charge, but I felt compelled to help. I'm a sucker for girls in jams. So in addition to the money she got back from the 15 percent discount, I gave her a sizable amount to add to it. I've paid parking tickets, motel costs, cab charges, paid for food, and even put girls up in my place for weeks. The locksmith thing was simply a new one to add to the list.
