| I
can honestly say that despite looking so "serious" that
I had a lot of fun coming up with and shooting this set.
Everything from choosing the right hosiery (the now hard-to-find
Victoria's Secret "Signature Gold Collection" brand
pantyhose) to deciding that this would be the first photo set
that I debut my new frames. (How very professional of me,
huh, to wear my glasses?) The dress itself was totally perfect
for such a mission being that it is very conservative, quite classy,
and the buttons down the front make for terrific easy-access for
poses like the one above. I feel also compelled to confess
that there is a teeny-tiny part of me that is regretful that the
only use that I have for such a fine business woman's dress is
to wear for my site -- as dress up. It's unlikely, at this
point of time, that I'll ever be one of those white collar professional
types with my own corner office in a giant shiny skyscraper in
NY. I won't have an uppity secretary to boss around.
I won't have keys to that illustrious "executive washroom"
that they are always talking about in movies. When I was
much, much younger, before I was even a teenager, I thought I
wanted that power and money driven lifestyle. But somewhere
along the way, before I graduated high school, I figured out that
I'm not really suited for any of that. It's entirely too
harsh for me. My head is too far up in the clouds.
I have too many dreams that would be squashed by living such an
unyielding lifestyle. Not to mention I have a difficult
time adhering to rules and time schedules/deadlines, lol.
So, it's only a microscopic twinge that I'm talking about. |
