I found someone willing to pose.
I need a model willing to appear in a book (i.e., you will sign a form). Today. During daylight hours.
I can pay you nothing but a thank you in the author’s acknowledgements of the book and a cup of fancy coffee or tea.
Is anyone free/not actively at work right now?
Help…
[Edited to add what I mean by "local." duh. pet peeve of mine....]

I just had the BEST trip to the hardware store! I went to the hardware store and asked for a piece of glass (don’t sell those– try down the street, but they close at 5), and a couple of rulers or 2×2’s, and a hinge. See, I’m making a clapstick, I say. Mercifully, I only have to explain this ONCE. We look at the hinges. The woman from the cashier’s desk says “Let’s ask Mark.” I talk to Mark. Mark is wonderful. He’s a geek. He’s great. Mark understands IMMEDIATELY what I mean when I say “clapstick,” and even more, he totally gets it when I say “for my readers.” Shortly after I arrive, Mark and I decide to make a hinge, and come up with some parts to put it together. We fiddle with a few nuts and bolts and finally come up with something. Mark totally understands how easy this has to be, and that my readers will need to be able to find this stuff in any hardware store. Total for the parts for the clapstick: $2.69. My grand total was $6 even, because I bought black electrical tape so my rulers would look more “clapstick” like. I win! |
