Wendy Meadows arrived early for her appointment with the yearbook photographer, Mr. Wilson. She was very excited. Mr. Peters had told her that he had spoken with Mr. Wilson to arrange a photography session so that she could develop a portfolio. Mr. Wilson even said that he would send some of the better test shots to modeling and advertising agencies. Wendy so much wanted to be a model and she was very grateful to Mr. Peters for setting this up. She never realized that Mr. Wilson had agency connections.
Mr. Wilson greeted her at the door to his studio. "You must be Wendy Meadows."
"Yes sir," Wendy replied gleefully, even providing a bit of a curtsy. "I'm so very thankful that you're willing to do this. I want to be a model ever so much."
"Really dear, it's my pleasure. I'm happy to do it. I wanted to do a test shoot myself with some new equipment. Paying a professional model for this would have been unnecessarily costly. So, we're both helping each other. And, besides, what I see now tells me that you have tremendous potential."
"Really?" Wendy beamed with delight. "Oh I so hope so. I want a totally awesome portfolio. Someday I hope to be a Cosmo girl. That would be so amazing!" Her heart pounded with excitement as she entered the studio. She almost dashed into the room. She couldn't wait to get started.
Mr. Wilson was sincere in his accolade. Wendy was a very attractive girl. She reminded many of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde. She had Elle's (actually Reese's) shapely legs, thin hips, long wavy blonde hair falling past her shoulders, perfect skin and teeth, little perky nose, and sparkling blue eyes. Given that this was to be a professional photography session she was also allowed to wear makeup, and she was as careful and thorough with her make-up as Elle, including the rich red lipstick. She even had Elle's animated vivaciousness, high pitched voice, and the delightful wiggle in her walk. Wendy had to work at that though, purposely taking somewhat shorter steps and placing her feet a little bit inward rather than just stepping entirely straight forward. It was at first hard and took some concentration but it eventually became natural for her.
Perhaps the only distinction between her and Elle Woods was her breasts. Elle Woods' breasts were large, very nicely large, but Wendy's were much larger (38E to be exact). In fact, many of the male students at Templeton referred to her as Wendy Whoppers, a porno star who is herself very pretty with equally thin hips and humongous breasts (80HHH, at their largest). Mr. Wilson's eyes naturally went to Wendy's breasts when he met her at the door, although it was truthfully a delight simply to look into her cheery blue eyes. She had such a gaiety and enthusiasm about her that it was infectious. Her breast size could be a problem for some professional modeling but nevertheless there was plenty of fashion and cosmetic modeling that would not involve her breasts.
"What type of pictures would you like?" he asked as he finished setting up the lights and cameras.
"This is so truly amazing." Wendy gushed, "Look, there's a set and everything!"
Mr. Wilson chuckled at her eagerness. "Well, let's begin with just a few tight head shots. Why don't you touch up your hair while I set this up. There is a make-up table behind the room divider."
"Yes sir." Wendy scampered off to the privacy panels, her bottom wiggling with enthusiasm.
Wendy was gone for almost a half hour, but Mr. Wilson didn't mind. He needed the time to get familiar with his new equipment.
"I'm ready," she announced nervously as she came back around from behind the panels.
"Well, my goodness, I didn't think you could get any prettier." It perhaps sounded like a line but he was again being sincere. She had a very natural beauty that was well enhanced with her skillful use of make-up.
"Here is your mark," pointing to a spot on the floor. "Would you like to be sitting or standing for this?"
"Golly, I don't know, what do you think?"
"Well, the only thing in the frame will be your face. So, whichever you would find most comfortable is fine." "Sitting."
"Alright then." He brought out a stool and placed it on the mark. "Do you want the main light toward your left or right?"
"Oh, gosh, I'm not sure. I mean, what's the difference?"
"Well, it's just the angle of lighting. Do you think you're prettier from the left or the right?"
"Totally the left," she said confidently. She had studied that in her mirror many, many times.
Mr. Peters proceeded to take a series of tight head shots. He was impressed at how photogenic she was. She was a natural in front of the camera. She was confident about her attractiveness, and she smiled easily and comfortably. Her teeth were perfect, her make-up immaculate, her cheeks were a natural rosiness, her eyes and lips glistened in the light. "These will provide some excellent shots for your portfolio, Wendy. I would be surprised if you couldn't get work for some beauty products."
"Oh Mr. Wilson, that's perfectly intense."
"I take the right though to reserve one of these for the school yearbook." Wendy giggled. "Alright then, let's get some full body shots."
Wendy had brought with her a small bag with a few outfits. She didn't want to be in her school uniform. She went behind the partition to put on a more appealing dress. It was perhaps her finest outfit: a light strapless blue belle spring dress, with a mid high waist, held by an Organza sash with dark blue tiering below the waist. She particularly enjoyed abandoning the Mary Janes for her high heels. They made her feel especially grown up and professional.
She returned somewhat tentatively from behind the partition but Mr. Wilson greeted her with a broad smile. "You look stunning, Wendy."
"Thank you sir." She stepped awkwardly onto the set. Walking in heels didn't come naturally to her, something else she did not have in common with Elle Woods, but she could tell that they helped to highlight her figure. Her heels clicked along the hard wood floor as she got to her mark.
