It's
still Day Two
and we're finally hitting the home-stretch with the
final shoot at midnight (if you're just tuning in, we started at 5:00 am—and two posts ago—but
we're still going strong). We arrived at our fifth location of the day with our
collection of beauties that had now grown to three former Miss Russia Pageant
contestants: Diana Yenikeeva, Anna Vtorova and Svetlana Milinzova. I've traded
my tiara for a cocktail dress, and prayed for a,
so far elusive, second wind. Our goal was to photograph them going into the
famous Soho Rooms nightclub, and then have some fun as personally invited guests of Rustam Tariko (owner of Russian Standard
Vodka).
We
feared the shoot may have to be called off on account of rain- the girls were
wearing furs that could not get wet, no matter what. Thankfully
though, as we pulled up, the raindrops did
too and it was game on! The three cappuccinos I had earlier finally kicked in
as we jumped out of the car and began shooting. The line of people wrapped
around the corner and even more crowded the
entrance. Like a scene from a movie, the mob parted
as our three gorgeous girls made their way in. It was
time to party.
Nos Drovia!
