I am Karl, 40 normal average man my wife, Helga, had done some lingerie modelling when she was younger, we thought this would be same. We are from Sweden, and the casting was last weekend in London so we stayed over in a hotel and had a short break taking in the sights.
We had researched the company online and it all looked legitimate. The studios were in an older building in a reasonable part of the city and the pictures of the actual studios were very professional. We turned up a few minutes early and Peter, our contact, answered the door himself.
He showed us to the studio where there were many cameras and the photographer, George. Everything was as it should be. Melissa their lighting 'man' greeted us and got us a cup of coffee in the adjacent room while they set up.
"We will be ready in a few minutes but we will spend 15 minutes interviewing you Helga, Karl will be watching from a room in another part of the studio. We have had problems in the past when the husband is in the room by them interrupting and we then have to do retakes. This uses up valuable time and reduces the spontaneity of the shoot."
"Oh, OK, I see the logic in that and understand so how will I watch?"
"There will be three screens in the waiting area and the door is locked so no one can 'accidentally' walk in and see the screens showing your wife or you whatever you are doing. There will be coffee or a small range of alcohol. Some nibbles are provided and there is a toilet as this could take two hours. I hope you will be comfortable Karl."
"Sounds fine thanks Melissa."
"Dan here will take you to the waiting area and he will tell you the order of things."
"Right this way Karl,... this is the area, the screens will come on when they start rolling drinks are in dispensers or booze in the fridge. Toilet is through that door and this door will be locked. No worries in the event of an emergency all doors will trigger open. Have fun and I'll see you at the end."
"OK Dan thanks, by the way what are the tissues for?"
"Well Karl your wife is an exciting woman unusually for this studio she is older and that makes her interesting. She will be in very revealing clothing while she is wearing it and you may become excited. That's one reason for locked doors."
"Oh, I don't think I will need them but thanks."
"See you later."
After 15 minutes of looking at the magazines, the TV's turned on and I saw her being interviewed.
"Right Helga, I am Peter and I will be interviewing this shoot, I understand that you did lingerie modelling before you met Karl."
"Yes, many years ago. I was surprised that you gave me a shot as I am now a lot older and not thin."
"Ah well lingerie looks good on a womanly figure and many companies are now using models that are real human shapes."
"Thank you."
"So, what type of lingerie did you pose in."
"It was sexy but covered everything...none was sheer."
"Fine, how do you feel about shooting this...we sent you pictures of the lingerie and you agreed to do this."
"I am quite relaxed even though some of the items were quite revealing and even designed to show everything."
"These are some items our sponsor wants to see and I'm glad you are ok with them. You will be paid for this session and any follow up ones. Is your hubby as relaxed about this as you are?"
"Oh yes Karl loves me enough to let me do this"
"OK, let's get the shoot started. There will be shots from all angles all this is normal for this work."
