I Was Kidnapped By Two Women

... and made to pose for the cover of Vanity Fair.

So, just as I was getting ready to leave work for the night, *extremely* pissed off at one of the floor supervisors, my friends Steph and Emily showed up at the casino and brightened my outlook considerably. I guess they'd been up all night watching movies, but came down to hit the coffee shop for some breakfast, then their plan was to take a bunch of cool pictures of the sunrise and whatnot. They had a trunkload of expensive photography equipment with them, along with their regular digital cameras. But they saw me leaving the pit and asked me to join them.

Anyhow, once I clocked out and such, I ambled over to the coffee shop to meet up with them. We hung out a little bit drinking coffee and nibbling on breakfast, but then we headed for the parking garage. The plan was to get some photos of the sunrise from the roof, but once we got up there, we were reminded that there was too much ambient light from all of the streetlights up there--no good at all.

So then we decided that we needed someplace darker. My house is at the dark end of a dead-end street, with no outside lights around. It was about as dark as you could get. So we had some fun taking dorky glow-stick pictures for awhile, pretending we had light-sabers and such until the sun actually started coming up and messed with that plan.

Once it got too light out, we went inside because my room has those thick black-out curtains like hotel rooms do, and we burned up two sets of batteries taking some very cool long-exposure pictures. Of course I couldn't let them leave without us getting the requisite 'threesome' pic in my bed, but unfortunately, my batteries died after letting me download every picture but that one... So you pervs will have to wait.

I can give you a quick teaser with this one, though--


Pretty cool, huh?

Anyhow, we took over 50 pictures doing all kinds of funky things with the glowsticks and such, but I promised Stephanie that I wouldn't post anymore of them until she sent me the 'finished' products later--she wants to edit them with Photoshop and make them look even better. Some are pretty dumb, but we got some good ones, too.

They finally rolled out of here around 7am this morning, and plan on doing more tonight. Once I get approval from her, I'll post some of our better ones. I may not be an Annie Liebowitz, but with Stephanie and Emily lounging around my pad, who needs Charlotte Johansson or Keira Knightley?
