Nice title and shot. I like INXS, and often think about wastage in the hospitality industry.. though probably not in these terms =)
Firedrake, 9 months ago
Gorgeous, as usual!
Paul Louis Vil..., 9 months ago
Thanks so much Jason and Firedrake! The title was the easy bit, when I picked up Jo for the shoot this morning she was already dressed as you see and looking elegant! We made a quick stop at KMart to purchase the Martini glasses and off we went! :D

Another fine image Paul. Have to envy that model of yours – if there be truth in fiction she’s having a ball and getting away with murder!!!!
Paul Louis Vil..., 9 months ago
Ha! That’s a fantastic way of expressing what you’ve seen!
Thanks so much Anne! :D

Brilliant Work, as ever Paul !!! You truly are a ‘Maestro of the lens’ !! You and Jo make a wonderful team. It looks like the remnants of a NYE that went wrong or the sort of scene you would see from ‘Fawlty Towers’ if they continued it into the present day. Once again WOW !!!
