| 2006 04 07 - I'm Going Back to Panama I was in Panama for March breach for a much needed vacation. While there I met a bunch of really nice people as well as visiting some breath-taking locations. The whole time I couldn't stop thinking how cool it would be if I had some models with me... for shooting that is. The more I thought about it the more I was convinced I just HAD to go back. So today I went and did it. I booked for 4 of us to go (I would have booked for more if I could afford more). It's an awesome little 5 star place called Playa Blanca in Panama. You can see their site here: Playa Blanca Resort I know I run the risk of upsetting some models by selecting others. The ones I selected were for very good reasons. Magazines have agreed to buy their pics in advance - It's that simple. Coming with me are April Ireland and Trisha Paulina. For those of you doing the math Lori Fabrizio will also be joining us. Now here's something I was thinking about... If you're a model and want to come along you're more than welcome. Contact me regarding booking arrangements. Departing Toronto Apr 24 returning May 1 costs about $1,000.00. While I was doing a bit of research about resorts and locations I came across a site that kinda hit home to me. Before I get into details I should give a bit of history first. While in Panama I was sitting poolside drinking errr... talking with some new friends when all of a sudden a bikini contest broke out. I ran back to my room so fast for my camera that I missed a good part of it however, I did manage to find some pics on-line. Here's the kicker. In the second row behind the girl in the yellow bikini is some fat, shirtless, shoeless photographer wannabe. Does he look familiar? That picture is soooo awful, I can't believe I'm sharing it publicly. Since I came across it I've brushed the dust off my treadmill and have logged over two hours in the last 24hours. Piece of advice : Don't walk on a treadmill in slippers. My feet and legs are killing me! |
