..If you haven't figured out by now, it's always an adventure with me...

What a day I had yesterday! My friend Vince teaches me how to do make-up for my photography. So, I picked up one of my models, Arianna in Buckingham at 4:30. I came by with my motorcycle, so she had to run upstairs and put on pants. We hopped on and I took the really long way to (route) 95 because I'm stupid and I wasn't thinking. So, we made it to Vince's at 6:00.. way to long to get there..
So, we're there and Arianna's wondering why she's having trouble walking.. low and behold the heal of her shoe was resting on my pipes the whole ride down so like 12% of her heal on both shoes are missing because they melted away!! Now I have rubber shoe gunk stuck t my pipes.. that's going to be fun to clean.. :)
Ok, so being late isn't so bad, because Vince was preparing dinner and Jen went out to get ingredients and hour ago and she still isn't back. So, we go inside.. cat up about makeup, prosthetics, halloween costume ideas, and false skin.. (faux Peau, for you elegant french people). Anyway we do the whole beauty makeup thing.. base, shadows, highlights, cover-up, lipstick, and eyeshadow.. by the time I got done with her, she looked like a really cheap whore. I didn't use powder between layers like I should have.. :P oh well, next time.
She washes up and we go. We got off on the highway great, doing good speed and technical turns.. I was really feeling great about the ride. The only thing I didn't feel so great about was having to switch to my reserve tank on 95. We get off at yardley/ newtown and go towards Buckingham on 413. I really didn't think we could make it, but I was willing to try. We made it past Buckingham and stalled out in front of a fire station in some town.
No one was at the fire station because that ton is having some kind of a fair. So, we walk across the street for some assistance.. you know to buy some gas from neighbors. I was looking for houses that had some kind of life to them, because at this time it was 9:30. The second house we went to the woman was amazing! She called her neighbors and everyone was helping us find some gas. Major downfall being that the neighborhood provides lawn services for everyone, so no one had any gas. They looked for snow-blower gas, but they didn't have that either.
The woman's son and friends came home about this time, as the woman went about calling gas station with inoperable phone numbers in the area to see if we could get emergency gas. I didn't want to call AAA because they take like an hour to get anywhere.. believe me I know, I had two flats once and after an hour I use the spare for one and fix-a-flat for the other-bastards-! (in a car that is) So, her son and their neighbor give us a ride down to a gas station. I get out to talk to the attendant. Arianna asks me if I want a pretty face to go with me.. 'na I'll be ok', I say. I go inside and tell the attendant that I ran out of gas a few miles back and if he had a gas container I can use. Without a wink he was going to the back room to get a container; saying: "That's my bike outside I know how it is". I fell the tank with $2, thanking him and assuring him we'll bring back the tank.
We leave, fill my tank, drive back to the station, return the tank, top off, talk to the attendant about bikes for a few minutes, thank him again, then ride off to the initial destination.. Arianna's friend's house.
What a night indeed, I slept the morning away from biking-lag.. god I was tired, and still I didn't even sleep that well.

I'm currently listening to Moscow Baroque music.. Baroque is so inspiring to run around and kill people. ~yes, you can quote me on that.~
The next make-up I'll be doing with Vince will be; fantasy. Hopefully Renee will be free to do this. She has such amazing cheekbones, eyes and lips, and her neck is such a pedestal to a standing lady. Don't let her know I said this.. she'll say 'bah'.
