Gettin' Laid at Dairy Queen

**Just some basic set up info, the aforementioned Eve is one of two main characters in the NA novel Mark and I have co-authored called HALFWAY PERFECT. Eve is 18, a former model turned Columbia University student. She moved to NYC at 14 to model as a way to escape her white trash Indiana upbringing.

Mark Perini: Talk on the street is that there are some new songs to add to the playlist?!?

10:14 AM me: yes! I've recently become re-antiquated with my 18 year old self and came up with what I'm calling Eve's Anthem

  hang on though...gotta make another cup of coffee

10:18 AM Mark Perini: Lol could it be? A rebel Julie Cross from the Midwest? I'm on my first cup is that bad?

  I'm still jet lagged

10:19 AM me: I'm making my second cup now. I try to stop at 3

  used to drink it all day long...

  ok so first I have to ask if I've told you the story of how I met my husband Nick?

10:21 AM Mark Perini: I usually have one otherwise I'm way to caffeinated, shaking and generally hyperactive...No I never heard the story in full I just know you met in college

The Elegance

11:12 AMWhere Julie and I talk about Chinese style and fighting crime in the nude...
me: Nǐ hǎo

  How are you?

 Julie Cross: awesome! How are you?

 me: Good I'm in Hong Kong right now

 Julie Cross: What time is it there?

 me: 11:12 PM

11:13 AM Julie Cross: so weird, it's 10:12 AM here

 me: I'm still not used to the time difference

 Julie Cross: really? After all these weeks?

11:14 AM me: Not that I'm jet lagged or anything it's just weird to have everyone I know on a flip flopped schedule

11:15 AM Julie Cross: so you're blaming your American friends and family, huh?

  I don't mind, I like that we can still chat even from across the world. Technology is awesome

 me: Lol of course who else can I blame?

11:16 AM Your right I don't know what I would do without my iPhone...

  Apple I'll be looking for a handout anytime now

 Julie Cross: haha

  okay, tell me about this strip of photos. Did you take these in Hong Kong?

11:18 AM me: Actually I took them in Guangzhou which is where all the catalogs are done

  Totally an industrial city two hours from Hong Kong

11:19 AM Julie Cross: cool! Are you allowed to say what it was for?

11:20 AM me: Not till it's out

 Julie Cross: okay, we'll work around that part.

 me: But I think it's very much Chinese style

  Which I think is awesome

 Julie Cross: The second photo from the top is very Clark Kent

11:21 AM me: So different from other stuff I've done

 Julie Cross: are you wearing tights under that suit?

 me: Zero tights

 Julie Cross: a new look for Superman?

11:22 AM me: Lol fight crime in the nude lol

11:23 AM Julie Cross: I think that could be dangerous...things hanging free and all

11:24 AM Okay, I'll stay on topic from now on

  How many times did you have to change clothes?

11:26 AM me: Lol I don't know that much would get done

  12 times

 Julie Cross: wow, that's a lot

 me: Different options

11:27 AM Julie Cross: I like the bow tie a lot. It's that Chinese style right now?

11:28 AM me: I hope to influence the change to bow ties

11:29 AM Julie Cross: The lighting in the bottom half of the photos is SUPER cool. How did they that?

11:32 AM me: In some they held up a net in others they held up a basket it looks awesome though

11:33 AM Julie Cross: wow, that's creative. I would have never thought of that.

  how long did the whole shoot last?

10 minutes

11:44 AM me: Yeah the photographer was awesome the whole shoot took 4 hours

 Julie Cross: that doesn't seem too bad?

11:45 AM me: No it wasn't I've been at editorials that have lasted 12 hours

  Or days even

11:49 AM Julie Cross: or a week like out CK shoot in Halfway Perfect

 me: Exactly

11:50 AM but this was short and sweet...

  

What do you guys think about the shoot? Bow Ties yes or no?
