I'm not going to bore you with every sordid detail of the Detroit portion of my trip, my Detroit "vacation", if you will, but I will give you some highlights, and lowlights.
The drive from Illinois up to Detroit was pretty uneventful. The highlight of that drive, for me, was the rest stop I stopped at, and the Dairy Queen that I ate at. Seriously. They were both at the beginning of Route 66, so you can imagine how geeked out I was ;) No worries, I took some pics ;)
I got to JJ's place shortly after 11pm, and me, her, Tony (Gotcuffs) & Eric went down the street for quesadillas & bad karaoke. Eric sang 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' which was definitely a highlight. We got back home, and I went right to sleep. That was the only night that I stayed at JJ's. The rest of the week, I spent with Eric at his concrete campground, lol. It wasn't too bad, I guess ;)
Tuesday night, Eric & I did our first shoot, which was successful. It was a strappado with some weird face bondage, nose hooks & a set of nipple clamps on each boob. The shoot went well, I did great, and I felt great when it was all done. Yay!
Wednesday night, we attempted another shoot with a cool concept that Eric came up with. We had watched 'Casino' the night before, and he wanted to do a clip where he was the Joe Pesci character & I was caught cheating in the casino. We were going to use the horse that he just built, and I was really excited! Well, I failed. Miserably. I have decided to include a picture of the horse & share my shame.
This was the first time that I have ever actually called a shoot, so I took it kind of hard, and I was upset at myself. We watched some of the footage the next day, and you can see where I started to fall apart. I got really sweaty, my head got fuzzy & I started to fade, but I didn't actually black out, which I guess is a good thing.
Thursday night, we attempted to do a gag custom, which I have done about 3 times for him in the past. Well, I called it after the second gag. In fact, I couldn't even get through the second gag. I felt like such a wimp, but the pain in my jaw was even more excruciating than usual, and I just couldn't take it. I know what happened to my jaw, but I won't go into details, here. I just hope that the pain goes away, and my jaw goes back to normal, because even doing the usual gags that I do, is becoming problematic. Sorry, Luc. It looks like I can't take you to the highest point in heaven ever again :(
Friday, I had a shoot with Chris Nero, and then a shoot with Pantybound. Both shoots went great! Below is a pic from my shoot with Chris.
Saturday night,I had a shoot with Lowdown In Motown, and that was a success! Eric & I were going to attempt to do another custom, but he could only find one Hooter's sock. Soooo....after wasting our lives away at Wal-mart looking for slouch socks, we decided to lay in bed eating chocolate & watched 'Old School'. Lots of giggling happened ;)
Sunday, was sort of a leisurely day (well, they all kinda were). Eric & I grabbed dinner, and then we were going to shoot that damn Hooter's custom. I did really well until he put me on my stomach, did the hogtie, and then had a panic attack. I didn't say anything about the panic attack to him, well I guess he'll know if he reads this. Eric, do you even read this? Haha....anyway, I failed at that one, too. I really don't know what my problem was this week. I know that I had a lot going on emotionally/mentally in the beginning of my trip, and I suppose that that could have contributed to what happened to me in Detroit. I talked to my friend Serene, and she suggested that maybe I had some sort of mental block going on. Who knows..... I am, however, questioning whether or not I'll be able to work with Eric in the future. Fail :(
After that debacle, I had a quick shoot with JJ & Tony that went really well. I still had some jaw pain, but I hung tough, and got the job done!
