After running the lingerie shop for a little over a month, James (the photographer) suggests that we run an ad on the web site to invite girls for photography auditions. They can come in and try out the merchandise. Also we might lure some husbands in so that they can have racy pictures taken of their ladies; they might even pay for the privilege. After much discussion, I put an ad into a local personals column indicating that the lingerie shop will help patrons to act out their fantasies or let them work as cast members for someone else's fantasy. Afterwards, they can also have the excitement of seeing themselves on the web. I indicate in the ad that in-person interviews will be held in the shop during normal working hours. I have hired a cashier by this point so the shop is no longer a one-man operation of just me.
Two weeks pass after the ad is released and nothing happens. Then a call comes in; the call is from a college girl. She indicates that she has a pretty heavy course load so can't work enough hours to make much money though she does have a waitressing job that pays pretty well when she can get hours. She says that her name is Kelly.
"So Kelly, would you like to be photographed in lingerie in a traditional fashion or do you lean towards something a little more risqué?"
"That depends on what you mean by a little more risqué."
"Well, I guess that if the photographs are a little reveal a little more than just the lingerie."
"So you mean like with the straps not completely fastened?"
"You're getting warm. Actually," I decide to be blunt at this point, "revealing of your breasts, backside or your pubic area."
"But not with touching or actual sex acts right?"
"Well, that would not need to be involved; it would not be prohibited though."
"So do you pay more for like, how should I say, like for someone to be completely naked?
"I think that would um, definitely increase the compensation, yes."
"Could I come with a friend? I'm sure you're legit and all but I would feel more comfortable, well you know."
"Sure, we don't want you to be nervous. Why don't you swing by later this afternoon and we can work out details."
"Okay, I'll be there. Well, I mean I will if my friend Josie can come with me; I don't think she has any afternoon classes today."
I phone James to let him know that we've gotten a bite on the ad and he decides to come down to hang out in case things get interesting.
At around 3:25, Kelly and Josie show up. Kelly is 5'7" has straight brown hair, B cup breasts and long legs; she is about 30 pounds overweight though she carries herself well and is wearing very nice slacks and a sweater. Josie is a very clean cut but fairly plain looking brunette in jeans and a cotton blouse; Josie remains quiet, tentative and a little suspicious. Kelly and Josie enter the store, stop at the register and ask to speak with a manager regarding the advertisement. The cashier, Emily, directs them to the back of the store.
Kelly raps on the door to the back office and I come out to greet her.
"So you must be Kelly; we spoke earlier on the phone, I believe," I say as I emerge from the back office/ photography studio. "Please come in." I motion for her and her friend to come in.
After I close the door I state, "So you are interested in posing for some photographs then, I take it?"
Kelly seems very young and naïve. She says, "I guess I would like to have some pictures taken but I'm not totally sure like what is involved."
"Kelly, I'll tell you what, since you are the first interested party...this week." [I quickly add ‘this week', hoping not to sound too amateurish. "I'd like to put together a portfolio of pictures of you (for now just proofs) and then we'll gage interest and market value among other customers. Why don't we do pictures of you in a couple of different items for now. Josie, you can go with her or stay back here in the photography studio to wait."
"You mean start doing photographs right now? I thought maybe there would be an introductory period or maybe you would offer me a contract or something." She stalls and further searches for an escape with, "Josie, do you have time to hang out with me for a while?"
Josie says, "Sure, I don't have anything pressing this afternoon." Josie decides to stay in the studio, sees some catalogues on the desk and asks if she can look at them while she waits. Of course this is fine. I leave Josie to her reading and assist Kelly in selecting three items that I think will be good. I start with a teal satin nightgown and then select silk pajamas with short wide-legged bottoms and a loose buttoned top. Next I pick out garters, a black lace thong, a black lace bra and fishnet stockings. Lastly I select a robe that she can wear when walking between the changing room and the photography studio (this is especially important since we are still doing normal business in the front of the store).
Kelly comes in wearing the robe. She closes the studio door and hangs the robe up to show that she is wearing the satin nightgown. She is fairly flirtatious with James who is still hanging out in the office since arriving a couple of hours earlier.
James says, "Ok sweetie, why don't you lower that strap and let me see the roundness of your breasts. Go ahead and lay across the couch there and let the top come down some."
"Like this?" Kelly asks as she lowers her top and looks with flirting eyes at James.
"Yes that's good. Now lets get some leg. Hike up the bottom so that we can see your legs."
Kelly complies.
"Very nice. I should have some nice shots. Now why don't you try on some of the other clothing," I encourage.
Kelly returns after changing into the short bottoms and top.
"Do you have on anything under that?" I query.
"Nothing but little ole me." She blushingly responds.
"How about giving me a little peek up those pajama legs."
"Are you sure? I'm pretty hairy up there. I don't want to scare anyone. And I think you should pay me if I do something like that; that goes a bit beyond an interview, I think"
Josie snickers.
"Don't worry about getting paid, you will be compensated for your time. How does $20/hour sound for an interview fee?"
"Hmm, $20/hour isn't bad I guess if you start that when I got here."
I roll my eyes and force what I hope is a patient response, "yes, of course. And don't worry about being a little hirsute, most guys I know enjoy sneaking a peek at a furry crotch."
Kelly smiles. "All right then," she responds as she gets on all fours, then adds, "How is this?" as she spreads her legs to the sides enough that James is able to catch some of her pubes on film with a shot from the side.
James takes a couple more shots and then I suggest that she come out wearing the last set of lingerie.
Ten minutes later she returns clad in fishnet stockings, garters, thong and bra and seems quite happy with herself. James takes a few preliminary pictures.
Then I get bold and ask her if she would be willing to take a couple of shots without the thong or bra but with the garter and stockings still on.
She blushes and says, "I guess I could. Josie, you don't have to stay for this; you can meet me outside if you want."
Josie replies, "Only if you really want me to. This is actually getting me a little hot and I'd like to watch to see the expressions on James' face when he sees your ass."
"Shut up Josie! I don't need your commentary!"
Josie pleads, "Come on, I've been waiting on you for like half an hour to get dressed, the least you can do is let me watch."
"All right, all right, but no commentary," Kelly responds. Then Kelly looks over at me and James and catches my eye and says, "Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
I blush and respond, "I reckon you know the answer to that." After a brief pause I add, "So are you going to shed the panties and bra?"
"You'd like that wouldn't you, you horny toad?"
"Well, I guess I would, yes. A fine tight body like yours ought to be shown off not hidden. What do you say?"
"I think Mr. Johnson wants to see your cunt Kelly. He wants something to stroke to."
Kelly snipes, "Shut up Josie – you agreed NO commentary! Why don't you go take a walk over to Macy's or something?!"
I share Kelly's impatience with Josie but try not to let it show. She has been invited to keep things from getting out of control so is not likely to just get up and leave. I venture, "Kelly, you do what you are comfortable doing, but there is a substantially higher market value for beaver shots than for the tamer stuff."
"I am definitely staying," Josie mutters to herself.
"Just how much higher is ‘substantially higher market value'?" Kelly inquires.
I am at a loss but finally say, "I can probably let you keep the lingerie you are modeling.'
