I did a photo shoot for Starlite yesterday.  There’s about five different things coming out over the next few months that we needed photos of me for (insert gag here), so we decided I’d bring a bunch of different outfits and we’d knock all the photos out in one day.

Because?  Me?  I am not a fan of the photo-taking process.  In fact, the first thing I said to the photographer was “Can you use Photoshop to make me pretty?” with just a hint of desperation in my voice.

On the bright side, the make-up artist told me that I have perfectly shaped lips.  Then she said “I’m sure that draws a whole lot of boys.”  I laughed hysterically for about 3.7 minutes.  And then I asked for a letter of recommendation about my lips to keep on file for any future dating needs.

The last part of the shoot involved me in wellies.  There was a large fountain where we were at, so we decided I would stand in it (with the wellies on) and splash water.  Cute shot, right?

But when I came out, ready with my wellies, the photographer asked me if I’d be willing to jump off the fountain edge into the fountain.  He assured me I’d land on my feet and that it would make a great shot. 

I agreed to try it, thinking that I might get a bit more wet from the water splashing up, but after all, he was the professional.  So, I climbed onto the ledge, waited for his direction to jump, and then landed on my face in the water.

In other words, just another glamorous moment in my life.

And so, I’m left with a dilemma this morning.  We have video of the actual jump, fall, splash, etc.  I am now debating whether I want to put a video here on MinSoFab that shows me at my most graceful moment.  I will admit that everyone here who saw it in real life or has seen the video thinks it is hysterical.

Well, except for me, of course.
