It's a big day--and an UNUSUAL day--at Cielo Azul.....

The proprietors are excited because their home is being used today for a photographic shoot for a national magazine.....
PLAYGIRL!!!!
Everything was arranged by Artistic Director, and Family friend, Corrine!
It takes a big crew to get the job done....

And the bystanders were included in the snacks....
Alice was happy to meet all the polite young models....
And Diana instructed on the famous "skirt shot"...

The shoot replicated a mini-Fiesta party....
With the boss-lady doing all the planning...
And some of the cooking....
Dwight flexes his muscles--hoping for a big break in the male modeling business...
But the competition is rather steep...

Giano was happy to help out....
Dre poses...
Diana wacks...
The Big Boss works...
The camera crew relaxes....

Nick poses...
Some models relax between shoots...
We are thrilled to see the little girl--correction: this little powerhouse!
Paul poses....
Photographers extraordinaire....

The living room shoot begins--we were not privy to the nude portion of the shoot.
Giano is bemused...
The girls get a little sun on the lawn....
Alice watches from her private spot in the shade in the Fern Room....
There is down time for the models not in the current shoot....

Jadian waits his turn.....
As do Nick and Andrew....
The girls in the shoot are actually editors for the magazine....
This has been fun for Carlitos....
Diana instructs the girls on the proper way to pose in fiesta dresses....

Dwight's truck is festooned for some shots....
Up close and personal....
Getting ready for the group shot....
preparing a festive table.....
And having some sun with the pinata....

Alices watches the goings-on....
Giano is about to crack up....
Even the kitties are amazed.....
But the fun continues....
As the crew relaxes....

And enjoys a Mexican feast.....
The final shot was in the driveway. (Diana was not really in it.)
But she was in the feast shot!
And truly enjoyed the experience with the professional and kind crew and the nice respectful models!
And a good time was had by all!! Click on image to enlarge photo.
