Yet another love letter to Arena Pole Studio… Just before I left the merry ol’ land of Oz, Fontaine organized a photo shoot for us with Jessie May, who specializes in aerial art photography. Jessie was an incredibly good sport – fun, friendly, and very patient with all 13 of us who showed up that day with suitcases of sparkly costumes, colorful heels, and lots of tricks to shoot.
I am also ever-so thankful to Cynthia Smyth for doing my hair and makeup, not only on the day of the shoot, but a couple of days prior as a trial too. Cynthia is about to start a six-month intensive hair and makeup course that includes Asian eye makeup, special effects wounds, and prosthetics – so I can’t wait to be her guinea pig again…
Here are the fruits of our labour:
Cocoon
Allegra
Titanic variation
Remi sit
shoulder hold
weird elbowstand thing
Iguana handstand splits
doubles Remi sit with Cynthia
I’m gonna add these to my Pole Tricks album on Facebook, so if you’d rather see them there, like this: www.facebook.com/MsAJL Yea for pole dancing!
