Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
i first got the idea for doing the stud calendar in 2003. i printed out lil’ flyers on my black and white printer at home. they looked so very homemade and i’m sure they hurt my chance of getting support because of it. LOL i faired better trolling the internet and contacting people via social networking. one person that i contacted was CJ. a striking woman with skin like a hershey bar. we met at Chicago State and spoke a bit. i thought things went ok. but she later told me she changed her mind and wouldn’t do it. boy was i disappointed. i really wanted 2 photograph that striking bone structure.
with the black lez community being as small as it is, i ran into CJ again and again and again over the years and she still was not about to model for me. then last week, i see her at the Pow Wow. i had no intention of asking her to model. i figured she wouldn’t care. and 2 my surprised she asked me! nice huh? so after 6 years, i finally got a shoot. and it was good.
good things do come to those who wait, sometimes u get the goods upfront. and i did with Basha. another person i had the pleasure of meeting at the same poetry set. the dancer/actress, already prepared with modeling experience and a flexible and upbeat attitude, she proved 2 b a perfect partner to CJ. i couldn’t be happier with the results.
thanx ladies!
