Well. The cat was filthy when I got home. Sometimes he gets a bit dirty, but this was on the verge of being comedic. I think he did it to rebel.
I gave him a bath. I used the fancy Modern Organic Products on him. That stuff is expensive, but it doesn’t smell so great on a wet cat. It sure did make him soft though. Dex was a good sport about it. He only yowled a few times, and didn’t try to bite or scrathc me. He liked the scrubbing part and the being under the faucet. He didn’t like being dried with the towel. Maybe I was too vigerious.

Ok ok. I have a huge silly crush on a boy. His name is Richard Parry. Mmm… He has red hair and likes gourmet vegitarian food. *sigh* I’ve had my eye on him for about 6 months now, and now that I’ve met him face to face I’m in full crush mode. Too bad he lives soooo far away from the old ATX . Oh. And he’s in a band, and I NEVER date guys in bands. They are always gone and I know they misbehave. (I’m a rock photographer. I’ve seen it with mine own eyes.)
Guess I should post a photo from the music stuff. So here’s one of the very old but still lively billy idol.
It’s been a long weekend of photographing rock stars. *sigh* Yesturday it was 104 degrees in chicago. Thats hot anywhere but add 50 thousand people to the equation and a 40 pound camera bag. I just decided to think about it like i was doing bikram yoga and all the sweating as being really good for me. I feel really good today, suprisingly. This weekend has been the first time I’ve gotten much excersice in a long time.
i’m making two resolutions before i go home. one is to get in shape. i’m going to start swimming and doing crunches - i’ve developed a minor beer belly - the other is to get an all access pass to Austin City Limits. My plan is to send a portfolio later in the week to the group putting the show on. If I were all access it would make it much easier to get stuff in Rolling Stone and Spin.
Flew to Houston to scout a shoot yesterday. Had a very nice time. Got to have lunch with my dear friend miss Catherine Price. I was elated to hear she has started a line of clothes for fat little girls aged 7-12 available on the internet. The inspiration behind the company is to prevent little girls from “looking like a tent”.
My new friend Evan took this photo. He is the creative director for the project in Houston. I was surprised by how kind and chivalrous he is. My guy friends here should take a hint! Also of note. I met Joel Osteen - arguable one of the most well know pastors of our time - or so I’ve been told. What struck me most about him is 1 - he is not a tall man 2 - his “wife” does not wear a wedding ring 3 - i think he gets carted around in a limo driven by a tuxido wearing blackman who is tough enough to also be a body gaurd.
