photo shoot with a diva

having a camera and a recently opened flickr account, i decided to set up a photo shoot with the aforementioned Iggy. she is my overweight fluffball of a cat.

for this first shoot, i coaxed our model out into our brightly lit studio by giving her one of her favorite things - the catnip lid. she had been trying to tell me something earlier but i had already fed her, refilled her water and emptied the litter box. she probably was wanting her fix, like all those high price runway models. good thing that tyra banks championed plus-sized models on primetime tv or Miss Iggy would definitely not be getting any gigs. it's also a good thing when your agent is the cameraman and provider of the basic daily necessities. i once suggested to her, trying to be the good agent that i want to be, that she get off that high protein atkins diet and go on the south beach one, like fellow blogger JadedManiac suggested - because it obviously wasn't working. she then pointed out she is a carnivore and that the only reason why she eats grass is because she swallowed some fur and would like to wretch. "Yes! Grass makes me f***in' puke my guts out so F*** OFF!" she hissed. so i've never mentioned anything about her diet since.


we started out with some overhead action shots of the buxom Iggy playing with the lid.


when she settled from her sudden initial high, we took some close-up shots of her face, but rarely full on. she despises the typical head shot and will avoid it at all costs.


then, we moved to the sofa. actually she moved to the sofa so I just followed because at this point, i knew the shoot is almost over. she did start to get irritated with my constant presence and started to indicate her impatience by whipping her tail to and fro. in a little while, she was going to crash.

i would like to post the video (.avi) of the final few seconds of our photo shoot. unfortunately, Miss Iggy refuses to sign the release papers so that I can officially publish them. she says, "The f***in' footage portrays me as a violent bitch and it [the punch] would be taken totally out of f***in' context. I was just f***in' tired from all that f***ing work and i just f***ing lost it for a m*****f***in' split second!"

that and i don't know how.

***UPDATE***
as mentioned in my comments, the photos in this post are hosted on blogger's servers. for people who are having problems viewing them, i have uploaded them to my flickr account as well.
