Photo Op
At the GAYVN convention following a relatively long night of open bar antics at the CyberSocket awards I was getting ready for my shift at the Channel 1 booth when my old buddy Jared approached…no…ran up to me. He informed me that they were doing this book documentary thing a couple of booths over and asked if I would like to take part. Jared is the photographer responsible for the photos used to adorn this blog; we have history, so I knew doco was legit.
I had just arrived and was the first one scheduled to sign, Chi Chi was due any moment. She doesn’t always look like that you know. It takes a bit more than a set of false eyelashes and some light application done in an vanity mirror to create the Diva that is Chi Chi LaRue. I really wanted to do this…after all, it’s a book…it’ll be around forever on coffee tables all over the nation! I told the sales guys that if Chi Chi was to arrive - I was in the loo. I ran over to the doco booth and busted out the supermodel quick poses to get it over with quickly and efficiently. The entire thing lasted about 4 mins and some change. I ran over just as Chi Chi was strutting down the aisle toward the Channel 1 booth. I grabbed my Sharpie, greeted her good morning and began my arthritic afternoon of signing and smiling.
My supermodel 1, 2, 3. That’s Jared on the right.
