Sally and I had been walking along the mall of our main shopping center just looking in the shops and laughingly talking about what we would buy if we had the money! Sally and I were pals from way back when we went to school together. My name is Amy and we are both 22 years old. We both believe we are good looking and at times we could be taken for twins! We are both the same height and weight, we have trim figures with large but shapely breasts and our waists and hips seem to be just the right size for our height. We go everywhere together and never seem to be far apart. We both work in the same dress shop boutique and are now on our holidays a long way from home. This is our first holiday together when we have taken it upon ourselves to travel across the continent and stay at a resort. Nothing terribly exciting has happened to us so far but this is only our 3rd day of 21.
Because the weather is so warm here we have dressed in very casual clothes. We are both wearing short mini-skirts and halter tops. We haven't been wearing bras since we left home and we are both wearing very small thong panties which don't seem to be hiding much. Our halters too are very small and only just cover our breasts. We think we make a cute couple of girls.
After strolling along the malls for about 1/2 an hour we decided to buy a cup of coffee. While we were seated and enjoying the best coffee we had tasted yet, we noticed a middle aged couple sitting at a table near ours. They smiled over at us a couple of times and we just smiled back - we guessed the locals are friendly.
Before we had finished our coffees the woman, who was about 35 - 40, stood up and then came over to our table. She introduced herself as Sally and before she could say anything more we both burst out laughing! She wondered what had happened but we quickly told her about our Sally and she joined in. She told us she was a talent scout for a photographic modeling agency and had noticed us sitting at the table. She asked us if we would be interested in photographic modeling as we seemed to have the fresh young look about us they were looking for! We giggled between ourselves and then told her we would like to hear what she had to say. She called her husband, John, over and he joined us at the table. They ordered fresh coffee all round and we settled in for a conversation about models and modeling.
Sally told us the agency was looking out for girls just like us to pose for photographs which would depict the young fashion look which they were trying to promote. She said all costs of makeup and the clothes would be supplied free and we would be paid appropriate fees for the photographs. She and John asked a lot of questions about us and where we had come from. They seemed quite excited when we told them we were from the other side of the country and were enjoying our holiday here. They told us the photographic studio was in another part of this huge shopping complex and they would be happy to show us around and we could decide if we would be interested in modeling. We jumped at the offer as we had nothing planned for today anyway and at least these two people seemed to be very friendly.
After finishing our coffee we walked together for quite some distance through the various malls until we came to an impressive shop which proclaimed across the front, "Fantasy Photography" and they took us inside. There were a number of people in this large studio and the premises were much larger than they seemed from the front. In fact, the shop extended into 4 quite reasonably sized studios - each quite separate from the others. There were several very pretty girls being made up and dressed while we were inspecting the premises and the staff seemed to be willing to stop and talk to us.
We began to feel important, particularly when one of the photographers stopped what he was doing to move over to us and, by holding our chins in his hands, he moved our faces around until he was satisfied with the pose. He then told us we had just the qualities he was looking for! Sal and John (we will call her Sal to avoid confusion with our Sally) then took us into an office and explained what was entailed in the photographic contract we would be required to sign and how much we would be paid for our services. We were both very surprised when we learned we could earn enough in one week of modeling to pay for our entire holiday here. We read the contracts by skimming over the 6 pages quickly and then signed the papers.
Sal told us we could start working straight away if we wanted to - she would go and talk to the main photographer and see if he could fit us in right away. It was early in the day, around 10am, and we were already going to be earning money for just a few photographs. When Sal returned she told us the photographer would be available in about 1/2 an hour and we should go into the makeup room where we would be prepared for the photo shoot. Sally and I grinned to ourselves and followed John to a room right at the back of the building where two women were standing by with their makeup kits spread out on tables. The two women motioned us to the chairs nearby and told John they would take us to the photographer as soon as we were ready.
The women began by applying makeup to our faces and adding coloring to our cheeks and bright lipsticks to our lips and soon we were able to see ourselves in the mirrors and couldn't believe just how much the makeup had improved the appearance of our faces. The women then began to apply makeup down our necks and on our bare shoulders working around our halters. They then moved behind us and undid the halters which dropped into our laps. The women just grinned at our surprise and told us the coloring had to be complete down over our breasts so that when the clothes we would be wearing are in place, no changes in skin color would be showing.
