Opportunities

So here's a question posed to all of you. A friend of a friend would like to take me on a trip with him. He has frequent flyer miles and hotel miles saved up and is looking for someone to be his companion for the week. So I'm getting a free vacation out of this. The question: Where do I want to go for a week? We both want something warm (winter has been a bear here) and could both use to work on the tan a bit. So if you could travel anywhere domestically during the spring, all expenses paid, and want to work on a tan line free tan (*grin*), where would you go?

Spent the other day shivering my butt off, modeling for an artist in the area. I don't have problems posing nude, but for some reason, my mind went blank when the artist was asking for posing ideas. So I don't think the session went as well as it could have. We'll see what he comes up with. My mother works in a completely different way, having tons of props to work with, she just holds a conversation with you while you play with the props. When she sees something she likes, she asks you to not move and sketches what she sees.

This artist works by taking pictures of his subjects and painting from the pictures. Some of his works were really remarkable. One that kept catching my eye was of a man holding an object. The artist had changed the model's eyes to stars, and the eyes compelled you to look at them. His other piece was a life size sculpture of a dancing woman. If I had the $2500, I'd buy it, as the piece was perfect.
