you know when bugs bunny took a wrong turn at albuquerque and ended up in the south pole with the abominable snowman guy? well samantha probably felt the same way. she was brand new to the city and got lost right out of the subway. it was pretty cold out – like 36 and raining. it wasn’t CRAZY cold to me, but it was cold enough. turns out that samantha is from a really warm part of australia and she had never felt weather that cold in her life (36 is 2.2 celsius, for all of you metric system people. i wish america would get on that metric system business soon. when i was a kid, my teachers would always tell us that we’d be using the metric system when i was an adult. whatever happened to that jive?). the poor girl was freezing so we took her inside, wrapped my puffy jacket around her and sat her next to the heater. i think she was basically freezing throughout the whole shoot, but she never complained and made freezing look pretty.
