Woo hoo, I had a great conversation with Lesley last night about the photo shoot. Whenever I get the opportunity to talk to Lesley about the photography, I get re-energized. I think I must spend too much time over-thinking the whole thing, worrying about what-ifs and planning for the worst case, but Lesley always calms me and reminds how much fun it is going to be! It looks like we should be okay for models, of both sexes and she is all over getting the make up artist arranged. I have figured out what food I want featured on the cover so now I can, almost, sit back and relax! Not that I am very good at it but with the holiday approaching I am sure I will be encouraged to relax by circumstance, time and family commitments and my desire to simply enjoy the season. I keep imagining that day, the cameras flashing, me darting in to arrange food or give coaching on how I would like things, people getting make up done and my guy smiling looking on. Too much fun. I need to focus on the fun, since these moments will never come again when it is all unknown, fresh, new and a whole new experience.
I have been thinking about my YouTube videos as well. I have a few ideas, mostly for funny ads for the cookbook and I may ask a friend who is a very funny, generous drag performers if he/she would like to be in some of the videos as well. She would be a scream and certainly add something never seen before in the selling of cookbooks! I hope she will do it; I know it too would be a tremendous amount of fun simply shooting the videos. I have mostly decided on the photos for the website so I need to find some time to start writing the copy for the website, oh, so much to do. But inch by inch, getting there. I better brush my hair in case I get enlisted into the photo shoot for the cover. Not really a fan of getting my picture taken but if pushed and backed in a corner, if a blinding blizzard keeps everyone from the house on the day of the shoot, if my food freezes from car to door, if the lights pop, and camera fails, if Lesley gets the flu or I forget to cook, we may have to improvise and put me in the photos simply smiling through it all!
