Panty Dropping at Applebees

Ever had a nightmare where you are walking through a populated place, everyone is staring at you and then, looking down, you realize ... wow... you are naked?  Ha, while that is a nightmare for some... that scenario actually happens to me a lot in real life - At least once a month, I get hired for guerrilla nudes - I get paid to walk around naked in public, everyone stares at me and points (It is oh-SO awkward)  - While I will never be comfortable shooting guerrilla styled stuff, after some forty-odd shoots, as least it is not as terrifying as it once was...

Know what IS terrifying, though!?... Having your underwear slip down to your ankles in the middle of Applebees - Yup..... THAT happened to me Tuesday.

Shot with a photographer who crochets bikinis for models (really sweet guy).  He put together this wonderful scarlet bikini - I drove up from Austin and we shot on a beach in Kileen.. When we finished, I grabbed a sundress, tossed it over my bikini, "Lets get some lunch!"  Well.... did you know that yarn expands when it gets wet?  No one told me that... Nope.  Never knew.

After our meal in Applebees, we got up to leave.... *gasp* I could feel the bikini bottoms starting to slip down my thighs... *gasp again*  I grabbed the bottoms with one hand, I scooted through the restaurant towards the door... scoot scoot - Nearby tables were laughing and giggling - I fumbled with the bottoms... just as I exited the door, my bikini fell to my ankles... Ahhhh!...  Photographer looks at me and goes, "Wish I had my camera.... What a great way to end a shoot!" Oh so embarrassing!

I've seen that sort of public-nude stuff shot in Europe, but in America I would think you would run the risk of getting on a sex-offender list or something.
