shanmonster | Colour Me Amused

A while back, a reporter for Grand Magazine participated in one of my beginner belly dance classes. Afterwards, she interviewed several of my students and me. No photographs were taken, and a couple of days ago, I was contacted by the magazine so they could come and remedy that.

Unfortunately, the studio where I was teaching those classes has since closed down, so we made arrangements to meet at another studio for the photo shoot.

I thought this would be a standard photo shoot, where they'd take pictures of me teaching or posing. But they have some very specific photos they want. They want to take photos of me doing chest alphabets (where I imagine a pencil is sticking out of my sternum and I write the letters of the alphabet). I can't imagine how this will work in photo, but I guess that's their prerogative. But the one that really makes me laugh is this: they want to take a series of photos of me doing glute squeezes.

That's right, the magazine wants to showcase pictures of my arse in various stages of contraction/relaxation.

Ha!
