I finished the rest of the Halloween photos.
I think this is my favorite:
This is Lori Raye Erickson and her girlfriend, Sarah Thompson Lift, whose website seems to be down currently… Lori Raye has the studio catticorner from me in the Hobbs, which is a big part of why the third floor of the Hobbs kicks so much ass…
The brilliant thing about this for me…? Lori Raye is a boy-girl. She is always in boy-clothes and sensible boy-shoes. This is so brilliant. She had an adoring crowd of fans gawking at her all night. She really stepped out of her box and seemed to love every minute of it. Both costumes were Sarah’s doing. I informed her that I want to see Lori Raye as Shirley Temple at some point. That would so rock! LOL
Here the thing about Lori Raye, and part of why I love her so much… See that hook-hand…? She was offered the standard plastic costume-shop hook by Sarah and would have nothing to do with it. In about five minutes, she assembled her own in her studio out of a desk-lamp shade, a metal rod and a wooden dowel.
And when Sarah’s solo shot came up, she went right to the crotch-shot. I love that about her… by the time it was done, Lori Raye almost dragged her out the door to go home… and they had just gotten there. *giggle*
