It all started with a joke my wife made about my lack of rhythm. I find it difficult to resist a challenge and her joke sounded like an out and out dare to me.
I found some music, "Bad to the Bone" to be specific, and thought about my attire. After all, I'm thinking those two things are critical to stripping and a good striptease is all about rhythm. There are certain skills in life I've never explored, but there is nothing like a good old college try.
I moved the car out of the garage and set up the camera on its tripod. I dressed for the show, slacks, socks and cowboy boots, on the bottom, figured since I go commando normally, that would be expected by my sweetheart. On top was a shirt, tie, jacket, and my cowboy hat to top everything off.
Entering the garage, I took a good look around and realized that the background was a cluttered workbench. So, back into the house to find the biggest blanket we have, I went. Returning, it took a good fifteen minutes to get the blanket tied up to create a flat background.
Finally, I was ready to go and walking to the camera, I discovered that the batteries had died. Back into the house I went and searched through three drawers before finding a package of fresh batteries. Installing the new batteries, the tripod and camera started to tip as one leg to collapse.
I caught the camera and realized the tripod legs were twist locks that didn't lock very well. It took me a good ten minutes to find three clamps to keep the legs on that tripod extended. I turned on the camera and music and began to strip.
