I'm having someone do some amatuer photography on me today, any hints? I need my own clothes and makeup... I'm thinking lingerie, formal or street clothes.

What's a street cloth? Is that like a washcloth, but for wiping up the pavement?

You and the photographer should probably talk before you shoot about the kinds of images you both want to take.  That will determine the kinds of clothing you bring.

Lingere apparently gets you looked at.  If I was shooting, I would ask you to wear dressy street clothes.  That is my taste.

All 3, you don't have to use them all, but have a little bit of each just in case.

Just bring some basics: Your favorite pair of jeans. some casual shirts, some dress up shirts, a couple dresses, different pairs of shoes, a bathing suit. I don't think I'd bring lingerie to the first shoot when you haven't even talked to the photographer about what you guys want to shoot. Bring clothes that you feel comfortbale in. Stuff that is fits your body well.

None of us know what the photographer wants to shoot, or is competent to shoot.

I've heard the average time for delivery of pictures from a potographer is 90 days.

The point is you might want to consider calling up the photographer as asking what he wants you to wear and when you will see your pictures.  I sounds like the two of you did not communicate much before agreeing on the shoot.  Did he in fact agree to give you copies of the pictures?

Its is a friend of mine that I agreed to do the shoot for, and yes, trade for copies was the agreement. :-)
