It was a hot summer afternoon, and I was in my apartment living room doing a wam shoot with Jersi. There were several other people there helping too. It was hot as shit, and my crummy apartment air conditioner (which is older than I am) was on strike. I had called and put in a repair ticket the day before. The repairman hadn't come yet, but oh well, the shoot must go on, right?

So there we are, in the middle of the living room, with Jersi in a baby pool filled with liquid shortening. She's in her little green bikini, pouring a big ass Costco-sized bin of the oily stuff all over her. And enjoying it immensely I might add. I'm doing photos, and my assistant is doing video.

Then suddenly a knock at the door.

It was the repair guy! He's come to fix the air conditioner, so what else could I do but pause the shoot for a minute and show him to the air conditioning unit on the patio, right past slippery, shiny Jersi all down and dirty in the baby pool. When he saw her, you could tell he was surprised. His response was barely restrained and he tried to act nonchalant, but you could tell he was like, "woah!" He probably even got a "tent" if you know what I mean. He went to the patio as we continued with the shoot, but it only took like 60 seconds for him to come back in and say, "uh, I have to go get my assistant to come help me out."

Yeah right.

He comes back with another dude, and they slowly walk past Jersi and continue to the balcony. I admit that I would have done the same thing--get my boy to come up and see the shenanigans that I discovered! They did their job and left with big smiles on their faces, but I wonder what the conversation was like outside of the apartment.

When the first guy went back down to get his friend, he was probably like, "Dude, you have to come check this shit out! There is seriously a young girl up there rolling around in a baby pool full of oil! Just come up and act like you're helping me fix this A/C!" And when they left it was probably something like, "Dude, I am seriously going to rub one off tonight to what I just saw up there!" Hahaa

Who knows, but I'm sure it's one fix-it job they'll never forget.

See the scene here, and watch the trailer, too:
