If you're gonna lie...
Please make it believable. I had a model booked for July 1st. She e-mailed me today saying she cannot make it cause she has a funeral to go to that weekend. Do people really plan funerals that far in advance? I'm assuming the person in question isn't scheduled for execution. Jun 14 06 07:18 pm Link Hahaha thats hilarious! People are stupid  Jun 14 06 07:20 pm Link John Jebbia wrote: Now that is funny! One day she may realize how stupid that is and will feel really dumb. Jun 14 06 07:20 pm Link No shit... That is hilarious... How have you been? It has been forever Jun 14 06 07:20 pm Link Yeah that would be one ripe corpse :-D Jun 14 06 07:21 pm Link Someone died and the funeral is 18 days away? That is one Wake I would not even DRIVE past for fear of unpleasant smells. Unless its premeditated....did she mention being upset with anyone close to her? "Ugh, I am going to KILL my mother in law"? Jun 14 06 07:21 pm Link I didn't say much. Just told her "Thank you for letting me know." Jun 14 06 07:22 pm Link Bad lies, while annoying are actually to your benefit. If you know they're lying, it should make it much easier to decide whether or not you want to work with them (as opposed to those truly devious people). Jun 14 06 07:23 pm Link classic! Jun 14 06 07:24 pm Link Yes!!!! and another one bites the dust..... Keep screwing up girls, you'll only make my job easer. Jun 14 06 07:24 pm Link I am reminded of a story a buddy of mine once told me. He was doing the World of Darkness RPG with four friends of his--two sets of married couples actually--and the wife of one of the friends stood up and announced "We have to leave because I have to be at work next week". No kidding. Jun 14 06 07:25 pm Link Maybe she has plans for her BF? Jun 14 06 07:27 pm Link Lens N Light wrote: I just checked the AZ Department of Corrections website. Arizona has no scheduled executions in the next couple of weeks. Jun 14 06 07:29 pm Link Maybe she meant to say 'wedding'.

Jun 14 06 07:37 pm Link Not that this is related, but I'm curious to know how long it takes for the armed forces to release a body and fly it back from the Middle-East. Jun 14 06 07:38 pm Link aren't there religions that say you have to have the body lay in wake for a month? Or something? Okay, I know, I'm too nice. Jun 14 06 07:40 pm Link Mikel Featherston wrote: I recognize your tongue in cheek post. But playing Devil's Advocate, she didn't know this 3 days ago when we scheduled it? Is this a Pop-Wedding... Like a Pop-Quiz? And before anyone says maybe she forgot about it, she told me she needed to check her calendar before she scheduled anything. She checked, and picked the 1st. I will give her that she gave me plenty of notice. Jun 14 06 07:40 pm Link Jonathan D Holloway wrote: OOOOH good question. Jun 14 06 07:42 pm Link I think its you Jebbia, really, you get no shows, I get no pay. Mine, I cant pay you: just spent my money at the hair stylist. had to spend $600 on my dog just bought a new car going to Jamaica on vacation and the best buying a gift for the BF this week.

Jun 14 06 07:50 pm Link WG Rowland wrote: Yeah, "wedding" and "funeral" sound SOOO much alike. Jun 14 06 07:50 pm Link Yeah I was gonna say that too about the service men... cause alot of times they don't fly them directly to the states... and I know my brother said they had a funeral over there for some of their fallen officers too so I assume it was before they sent them home... I also have heard of people dying and them having a funeral in one city and then flying the body to another city and they had ANOTHER funeral the next weekend... That having been said, since it's so ODD a circumstance I would've explained why I knew I would be attending a funeral two and half weeks before the day. Because of course she would have to know that that is weird. Jun 14 06 07:51 pm Link Jun 14 06 07:51 pm Link One of my sister's ex bfs told her that he couldn't go to a party with her that was in 10 days because he was coming down with a cold and would be sick on that day... Jun 14 06 07:51 pm Link hahahaha ahh... wow. That's pretty amazing! Jun 14 06 07:59 pm Link Geez, I must be the only one here that could reasonably believe her... at least in Britain bodies can be, and are often, held on ice for months pending either a police investigation or a coroner's inquest [or both] Unidentified deaths [such as amongst the homeless where there is no obvious and known family] the police will sometimes hold the body on ice for YEARS without burrial until every possible means of identification and locating family is completely exhausted. As for America...doesn't anyone here watch CSI? Studio36 Jun 14 06 08:17 pm Link i was thinking service men also, or autopsy...maybe it was a crime related death... at least she cancelled far in advance ... Jun 14 06 08:24 pm Link Ok, Devil's Advocates. You have valid points. But, assuming they are the case why is she setting up photoshoots? Shouldn't she be grieving? Also, if there is some weird circumstance as some of you have pointed out, I think it would have been prudent of her to explain it so that she doesn't come off as a liar, or worse, retarded. Jun 14 06 08:30 pm Link yeah hey john, i hate to be so morbid about it, but you might wanna call her back and maybe see if she'll shoot while at the funeral? would be a totally new concept and choice of backgrounds....... or maybe just offer to be there and shoot the funeral for memories sake??? Jun 14 06 08:30 pm Link Could have been a cremation with a memorial service and burial service when the scattered family members could finally gather. Jun 14 06 08:31 pm Link They could have been mummifying the body and the presentation date just slipped her mind. Jun 14 06 08:49 pm Link John Jebbia wrote: Best answer! Jun 14 06 08:53 pm Link John Jebbia wrote: OMG! thats funny the same thing happened to me a month ago! Jun 14 06 08:53 pm Link Chris wrote: Neat! Ideal for Jebbia if she is a goth. Jun 14 06 08:57 pm Link Maybe she changed her mind and doesnât know an adequate way to cancel her scheduled appointment. My question is, does it really matter what her reason is?
