Gotta get on this stuff before it sneaks up on us!
Then, Im helping my parents with the christmas decorations. My brother and I will take the tree out of the attic and decorate it (after putting it together of course).
Sunday, I am shooting with Brian Burke from NJ. He is coming to CT to work with me. To my delight, he is bringing some latex clothing, and also, clothing by Karen Von Oppen! I love her clothing! She is sending corsets and jewelry! Here's to another busy weekend, but hopefully lots of fun!

Next weekend is my office Xmas party- Free dinner- YUM! and also, my fiance and I are shooting with Kvon Photography aka my wedding photographer- we wanted to make some lovely images together!

Hoping my last couple of days go really well : )
It's a busy time of year. I had a fun shoot with Kevin Michael Reed in New York on Friday after visiting my grandmother- who kept guilt tripping me about not staying for dinner ( I wanted to beat traffic).
I also shot last Tuesday with Marc Mauro aka Questionmarc- He was a lot of fun to work with, great guy- LOVE the images so far. I'll definitely be visiting him again : )

In a couple weeks, things will calm down- I'll return to NYC with Chris to visit my Aunt V and perhaps see the tree all lit up- something I do enjoy doing even though its freezing. Shooting soon with my buddy Kvon: he is taking photos of Chris's heart surgery scar, and also some ballroom photos for Chris and my wedding. The office Xmas party is coming up as well. Lots to look forward too! Christmas eve is when my family celebrates and opens presents. I'm pleased that we will have a nice quiet Christmas, joined by Dennis Chunga (who Im trying to convince to go to Mohegan Sun for New Years EVE)- Come with us Dennis, you know you don't want to sit home!

On an irritated note, I'm still waiting on photos from a NY photographer. I shot on October 18th and have not seen ANYTHING. I've been very calm about it, but have emailed her a few times about sending me the images- she said she would send them ASAP- but of course, Nothing yet. I'm now going to put a stipulation that if part of the agreement is for photos to be given to me as well- they must arrive within a month unless other outside sources are involved. I've had this happen a few times, and I'm just tired of it. If I'm ready to work and on time and am using my own wardrobe ETC then I deserve to have my images at a reasonable time. It's been over a month now- and apparently there is nothing more to edit - its just lazyness. No excuse!

So, anyone doing anything fun for Xmas?

being super busy as per usual, I have piled a bunch of stuff on my plate for this week. My shoot with Questionmarc was postponed from Friday until tonight (I canceled class knowing my students wouldnt show up the night before vacation.) So in a few min, I have to leave my job to go to the Bronx. Then, working all day tomorrow, coming home, and cooking for Turkey Day- which is of course an all day event. Mr. Chunga is gracing my family with his presence as well.
Friday- Black Friday- I am going to NYC to both shoot and visit with my grandparents who live near the theater district. I'm shooting with Kevin Michael Reed who is working on a series featuring models and their tattoos, and as he is only a few blocks from my grandma's, I figured I'd stop by to visit them as well. Little brother might come, but he hasn't confirmed yet.
Then, the rest of the weekend I get to SLEEEEEEEEEPPPP- at least, that would be the plan....
Only 2 more classes left of the semester- I should def. check out what i have on my lesson plan as well....
Anyone doing anything crazy this week?

The team is Ron Compton and Jessica Lynn Hill- the fabulous make up artist from the gallery images. Should be a great time, and a chance to see these really old planes up close!
Images to follow next week!!!!

]]> ~Lady-Eastwick http://Lady-Eastwick.deviantart.com/journal/28204540/ http://Lady-Eastwick.deviantart.com/journal/28204540/ Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:44:40 PST The fantastic news is that my fiance did not need the defibrulator! They went in through the artery in his thigh with some thick tube, and snaked it upward. From what I understand, they zapped is heart, played with different rhythms and discovered that for now, he is perfectly safe. I got to take him home Friday night. It was such a relief.

Now, let me take a moment to tell you how demented Yale hospital can be... I got up at 5:30am and drove my fiance for his 7am appointment. The first person we spoke to gave us the wrong floor, it was obvious he didn't feel like working and wanted to chat with his buddies in the empty waiting room. So right away, we were on the wrong floor. After they took him away for testing, I was informed that there were no waiting rooms where he was going, and that they'd call me in 2.5 hours to let me know how the test went, and if they were going to proceed with surgery. I found a quiet room and wrote out my lesson plan for my next class. After 3.5 hours, no one had called me- so I ran around the hospital bugging front desk people as to the wherabouts of my fiance. It was so irritating. One guy told me he was going to have a procedure on a different floor, then another woman couldn't find him in the computer. One bitchy desk lady didnt see him immediately in the system and in a shrill tone said "Maam, I dont know what to tell you. You can stand her if you want and see if he comes through the door"; offering absolutely zero assistance. I walked away in tears. Thankfully her boss saw me upset and decided to take up my hunt herself. I made sure to tell her how horrid the desk lady had been- she seemed mortified. Again, he couldnt be found in the system- I half wondered if people thought I was hallucinating my fiance and I really belonged in a padded cell?
Finally they realized he'd been moved from the in patient computer program to the outpatient- Yale works on 2 different computer systems and not all patients are in both systems. I finally found him after a nice long jog around the hospital. It was sooo frustrating and silly. In any news. Yes people, even big shot places like Yale are too large to provide proper communication- Lesson learned for me : )

Looking forward to shooting tomorrow while Gunn feels well enough to go watch football. After all the stress, I'm just so relieved that for now, his heart is alright ; ) Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive : )

My students were completely out of it this week. Most of them did not have their rough drafts in class (or even started them) and most did not finish reading the book we were supposed to discuss. I ended up making up a lesson plan on the fly. It kinda sucked. I'm supposed to keep the class for 2.5 hours, and I could only stretch it to almost 2- not bad, but not fantastic either. I am nervous about finding more for them to do, and keeping them interested and up to date with their writing.

In other news, I did have a shred of good news this week. I recently worked on a shoot in the basement of my apartment. It's very dark, made of old stone- very dungeon looking. The shoot was with photographer Chelsea Franks and Make up artist "Manhattan Mak up" both from Brooklyn. Apparently the shots we took will be submitted in the hopes of being published. I can't post the shots until they are published, but the photographer seems confident that they will be accepted! yay! It was a high fashion/goth shoot.

Tomorrow is my visit to Yale with my fiance. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he will not need the defibrullator. If he doesn't, I can bring him home- if he does, I will have to pick him up on Saturday. Not excited about having to sit with his parents (who don't really love me at all and probably wish I wasn't marrying him) but whatever. I will bury myself in my work and try to develop a decent class lesson for Tuesday.

Sunday I have lots to look forward too. A shoot with 2 other models, a great MUA and Photographer Kevin Stiles aka tattoostiles! I won't give much away as to the content of the shoot, but we have cool gowns to wear and a great concept. Nina Pak will be doing the post editing- it will be a wonderful collaboration!

Well MMers, that's how things are over on my side of the universe : )

We found out recently that my fiance's heart monitor showed that his heart beats too quickly, and that he is still suffering from arrhythmia. The Doctors gave us a shock, telling us that something like this could lead to his passing out, and even death as apparently his heart could suddenly stop.
They, of course, can't know for certain until they put him under for some serious testing. As they conduct the test, if they find that his heart is beating strangely as they suspect, they will immediately put a defibrullator in his chest. It is a device that zaps the heart into beating at a regular rate, or zaps it into beating again should it stop. It's a mini version of the paddles you see doctors zapping people in the chest with on television. It would go right over his heart. It will also be able to provide updates on how his heart is doing- straight to his Dr. at Yale without needing an appointment.
I knew we were in for some troubles with his heart problem, but I honestly thought (as the dr.s did) that the heart surgery would make everything normal, or as normal as possible, and it would be smooth sailing until the wedding- but life seems to never go as expected. Its kinda a blow to find that now something else is happening that isn't quite right.
We will know more at the beginning of November when he has the testing- I'm just praying he won't need this mechanical device in his chest- he's already been through so much.

I just had to write a quick journal about how thrilled I was to finally work with this incredible talent. He was fantastic at giving direction and though I was incredibly nervous (anticipation of working with him had been building up for about 2 years) he was very friendly, down to earth and a joy to work with. I didn't feel nervous after the 1st 5 min of shooting.

His wife is a lovely Australian woman, very pretty and very kind- she helped us out during the shoot, offering suggestions, moving props ETC.

The make up artist, Anita aka Manhattan Makeup, was fabulous! She was really great to work with, she gave me tips on what skin cream would work best for my dry skin and really did a tremendous job with all three of the looks we shot. I cannot wait to see more from this shoot- it was a wonderful experience, and I do hope to be asked back again in the future to work with this team!

I told him I'd again, LOVE to set something up for a different date and email him. I thank him for offering me the gig, and let him know that had I been free, I'd have loved to shoot. Then ask about possible future dates, and stressed that even though I'm cutting down shooting for fall due to my teaching job, that I'd still love to set something up so we could finally work together. His response "xoxoxoxox" and that's it. What is that supposed to mean? that I'm only good for last minute?

This week has been different, Chris had writers residency all week, which has kept him at school morning until night. I've had every afternoon to myself- which I use to get some much needed exercise! Aside from that, my syllabus is almost complete for Fall semester and most of my shoots for August are in place. It's been one crazy summer- I don't want it to end. Not looking forward to snow. Well, now I'm off on a tangent. Just felt like blogging I guess : )

I've been on hiatus for almost a month now, next weekend I am finally starting to shoot again, I have many shoots lined up for weekends now that Chris is feeling better.

It feel so unproductive not booking anything till June though : ) Love shooting so much though, hopefully the rest will do me well and I will come back better than ever.

We both love spanish food and are psyched it will be a hop, skip and a jump away. Its a nice little area. the only issue thus far is an irate neighbor across the way, and an issue with parking that we have voiced our concerns to our landlady about. She has promised to remedy that at least. The irate neighbor is a cop who does not want anyone parking next to his motorcycle because it costs so much money. He was very intimidating and rude. sort of a bum out. Although we came to a sort of peace treaty "Gunn moving his car" it was still annoying as hell.
We should be officially moved in by Saturday morning. In the meantime, its been crazy. Ive been working full time, going to my apartment after to move and clean up, and modeling for the gallery project on the weekends. Im exhausted! but happy. Going for an interview at my college to discuss becoming an adjunct professor for Fall semester. Nervous, but following my dream! Lets pray everything works out for the best in the next couple months!
