I'm not really sure either - not often do I get to use them..  lol...
But - I think - I believe they are used to cover "inappropriete (sp) " things... Whatever that may be....

Silly Society.

Food! the damned airlines aren't even handing pretzels anymore.... oh, and bottled water for the flight.

be sure and leave phone numbers where you can be reached; arrange, in the absence of an escort, for someone to just give you a ring and make sure all is OK.... preferrably not during the expected shooting time.

Also, to be useful, maybe some Preparation H...in case you have "baggy eyes" from travel/lack of sleep.

You don't put it in your eye...just put a bit under the eyes where they are "baggy" and they seem to help...

At least that's what the models tell me...

I had a nude model show up last week who suddenly decided that she didn't want to shoot nudes.  Evidently we had a misunderstanding about whether her face would be seen in the pictures.  And although I'd asked her to, she didn't bring any modeling clothes.  If she had, then we could have at least shot something together.  From now on I'm going to ask all my nude models to be sure and bring some lingerie at least.

good point.... white - black - beige.... bikini panties or thongs and bras....  I'm forever trying to scramble in my gear for the right color, size, etc. because the model shows up wearing her only pair of panties and they're hot pink....

A great way to keep organized is to put matching panties garters and bra in a ziplock baggie.
I also have one for  for bowties, suspenders, and cummerbund.
and for belts gloves and such.

that way I have them all together and don't lose things.
(except for the time I lost half of a corset...)

Yes, loose fitting ones, so you can take them off and put on easily. At least here on the east coast you shoes still have to be taken off and go through the x-ray machines at the airports

I do the same thing.... the gallon size ones work best... ditto for fishnets, ribbed tank tops...

If you prepaid for the hotel room, make sure you have your paper showing such, so that you don't get charged twice...I had that happen to me last week, even though I showed them my receipt showing I paid. I didn't find out I was double-charged until Friday, though. I need to call them today to get it all straightened out.
