THE PITCH

Eric (the assistant manager at the local grocery store) thinks it will be hilarious to play a harmless prank on Todd (a mentally disabled janitor) and wants his buddy and co-worker, Ricco, to help with the prank. Ricco is against it, at first, but it doesn't take much until he's talked into playing along. THE PRANK: Eric tells Todd that the new attractive cashier, DALLAS, told him that she has a secret crush on him. And that one night after work he should walk her out to her car and kiss her goodnight. Todd has every reason to believe Eric and Ricco, after all he Ricco and Eric have always been good friends and Dallas has always treated him very nice. Eric also tells Todd that Dallas might reject the kiss a few times but it's only because she's afraid that he will break her heart, so he needs to keep trying until she kisses him back.

The night comes when Todd walks Dallas out to her car. But things don't go as planned. When he goes in for the kiss, he's rejected as expected. So he does what he was told to do and he keeps trying. With each try Todd becomes more aggressive and more physical until Dallas is terrified and is forced to slap him to try and get away. Todd’s INTANTLY retaliates with his fist and strikes her in the face and knocking her on her back, half unconscious. As he looks at her on the ground, he knows that he has made a mistake and that he's in trouble. So he runs off.

As Dallas struggles to get up we hear Todd walk back to her and when we see him, he's holding a giant slab of concrete above her head. He thrusts it down on her skull and crushes her head.

The following day Eric shows up to work to find the parking lot taped off with dozens of police officers investigating and interviewing neighbors. When Eric and Ricco learn of the murder, they know that they MUST find Todd before the police find him. If the police find Todd first they know that THEY will be charged with the murder.

But when they find Todd, what are they going to do?... Tell him a story and trust that he will go along with it? Tell him the truth?...Kill him?...or maybe even get paranoid that one of them is going to rat the other one out and kill each other....

Midnight Halloween

For Halloween this year we trick or treated with my family and then to the movie.
Dave's friend Sheldon, runs the the movie theaters in Saint George. At one of the theaters they were going to be showing a midnight special of the 1956 film Invasion of the Body Snatchers and he invited us to go. It was a lot of fun. I think every town needs a theater that shows old films. It is amazing the difference between then and now, it did not have a lot of special affects, but it did not need them because there was an actual story line.

Impromptu Photo Shoot

I should have another photo shoot from July by Nick Adams to post in a few weeks. This was done in June.
My friend Pamala does marketing for business around the world she recently moved to Saint George and was throwing a Gala event, for the event she had scheduled her renowned photographer friend James Van Alden to come and take photos ( as well as David Carradine to play guitar, he is in Kill Bill and loads of other movies.) Pamala thought it would be a great idea to have James take pictures of me while he was in town from LA the only trouble was Dave and I were already going out of town that weekend. The morning after the Gala, literally on his way home James, Pamala, and Alice Walker all decided to stop by my antique store for a little impromptu photo shoot. I was not expecting them so it is completely un-styled, just me what I happened to be wearing that day, and how I had done my makeup and hair(had I known it would have been done different). It was only about twenty minutes long but a lot of fun in the middle of my antique store with customers all around! He asked me not to smile. He only shoots on film a camera from the 1970’s, no lighting, no digital, no Photoshop, a photographer of old.
These are two images from our little session, he has one on his website now, and has told Pamala he wants to put one in his next book, so that is exciting!
Here is his website you should take a look he does a good job, the colors he gets with natural lighting is amazing. He does not have the socialite link is (not up right now) is a spread that came out in a European magazine a few weeks ago
This happened the last week of May but I just now received images that I could post.
