After a few months of planning and scheduling and breathless anticipation (ok we breathed a little) we finally shot our "Heels Overhead" series with Calgary's most fabulous contortionist. Thank you Visha Loo! Everyone did an awesome job, Odessa's wardrobe was stunning as usual, Kesar Lacroix did an amazing job of make up (see for yourself!) and Shawna Jayne made our wig look like no other.
Visha in black... before our stylists got to her
The key feature of the set was an enormous spool. No this is not a typo. A giant spool. When the sewing fairy was out of stock we went hunting behind industrial stores and shops. Odessa finally found one behind a Canadian Tire...(Thanks for the tip Diana Martin - Di Designs!), and we scooped it. A few days to dry and some white paint ......
We had our set....Spool'in!
The spool looked great but proved to be very rickety...(better to look good than to be strong, no?). Shawna and Kesar jumped in and helped Odessa to keep the spool steady while Visha did her thing. We were lucky to have only one small shaky incident where Visha scraped her chin.
Twisting on the spool was not easy...if you are thinking of trying this at home....HESITATE!. You are not Visha!
Here are some more behind the scenes shots
The series is in production and will be posted soon. We love the results!!! Thanks again to the creative team.
