Crash Stevens, a photographer who sometimes submits to Easy Rider Magazine, hired me yesterday - While I did not have the chance to meet the owner of the multi-million dollar property we were shooting at (the owner was in Vegas for a 1/4th business, 3/4ths pleasure trip) - his place was gorgeous! Surrounded by 10 acres of woods, a landscaped lawn, five bedroom home, eight shiny Harley's in the garage, tons of old 'dragster' cars lined up the driveway - As if that was not enough, the Owner-guy also built a Saloon in his front yard (all wood, fully stocked bar, pool table, dart boards...) - Afterwards, Crash and I were hanging out, drinking some beer, tossing stories back and forth - When there was all this shouting.... And-oh-so-very randomly, this tall majestic horse came prancing through the trees, across the lawn, trailed by a tiny little pony, being chased this loud screaming woman shouting, "Carrots! Carrots! I got CARROTS! Ho! Ho! Ho! Horse!" - I kept sitting on my stool.... waiting for a punchline about Butt Carrots.... but... it never happened....
Crash's shoot was followed by Matthew Pearl's shoot in New Bedford - Matthew and I took a fantastic little excursion through Lincoln Park, an old abandoned amusement park which was closed in 1987.... The place still boasts one of those old rickety wooden rollercoasters, a burnt down bumper car lot, and walls and walls of graffiti
Today I worked with a guy who just kept telling me how awesome I was! Haha... And I know that I should be humbled... but I could not stop giggling.... He filled in every other ten minutes with, "Have you seen your portfolio? You are so amazing, you are so sexy, you are the best model I have ever worked with - If you come back to Boston, I am going to hire you and make everyone else hire you".... And... while it was not ponies and rollercoasters ..... *It felt like it*... I had a really good day today.
Photos: Christopher Lee Donovan... after a *very* muddy evening of shooting... ha... I feel bad he had to clean the place up afterwards

Sounds like so far, so good for Boston. Good to hear. Did that lady ever rein in that horse, & did you get that punchline? I think you can chalk that up to something you don't see everyday. Have you ever gotten creeped out shooting in an abandoned place? I don't think I would be brave enough.
Always take a complement when you can get one. Even if it get annoying after awhile. Sometimes they are few & far between.
Hope the trip continues to be good to you.
=)
Oh stop it girl! You know you ARE awesome lol. And in so many ways. Sooooo happy you've been enjoying yourself up there; you deserve it too. As much as I hate the Red Sox, I gotta admit New England is a great place to visit and the people are actually very sweet. Now get yourself a psychadelic steel unicorn and keep sprinkling your magic fairy dust everywhere you go lol. Good karma as far as the eye can see. Have a great night and an AWESOME weekend sweetie. xoxo
Heh! The punchline is obvious: Those horses had read your blog entry about butt carrots and weren't taking any chances!
When you heard the woman shouting about carrots, were you afraid for even a moment that she might be a cannibal?
You
make my heart smile,
and me too,
every time...
and You prove:
Life is wonderful for those who dare
to look it in the eye.
once again
thank You
also for letting me sit on the lawn and see the horses !
