The outfit was not what I was expecting In fact, I al It’s a pair of orn jeans and a dark red t-shirt Both of which look like they came fro for me, but I do what I was told, pull on the jeans, and slip the shirt over , so I’m commando on both ends

When I study et me all made up just to wear some old, half-ripped jeans and a cruddy t-shirt?

I walk out barefoot, because there were no shoes in the bag either

At first I figured finding Roger could not be that hard, but there are no blond guys with cairls corab her attention real quick "Roger?" I ask, as if that explains everything She points to a guy who is sitting on a table on the far side of the studio I turn to say thank you, but the girl is gone

I take a deep breath and walk over towards Roger He spiesfrom a distance and walks to meet me

Well, that was nice

"Ruth?"

"Ah, no I’ht That’s what I meant OK, Antoine just wants the standard portrait shots and then if we have time, I’ll take some artistic ones of you and Billy since he has the other half of this outfit on"

He points to a shaggy-haired guy across the roo an old pair of weathered jeans and a red t-shirt Only his are ot the clothes er laughs "Why do you say that?"

"Well, his clothes look awfully tight and mine are awfully loose It makes no sense"

He eyes me cautiously "You’re really new, aren’t you?"

"First day," I reply as the nervousness appears in my stomach as a billion butterflies "Why? Is there so sizes that I should know about?"

He shrugs "Ready then? Go stand over there and then we’ll adjust the lights" I do as I’ot four helpers just for us and they bustle around with lighting things and the background ie, which is just black

And that’s prettyand looking, and changing position, and closing s--standing, sitting, kneeling

But the one thing I never get asked to do is s creepy because the last time I was here Antoine never asked rab Billy over there and we’ll set up for the artistic shots"
