MY GEORGE COSTANZA PHOTO SHOOT LOL!

NOTE: If you are following me on twitter (@stephaniaricci1), I have uploaded several new pics from my recent photo shoot a couple weeks ago and I am starting to put some on instagram as well (that handle is the same as twitter but without the @ and the handle is stephaniaricci1).  I will keep this blog post alive because it is funny lol.  But I know finally have a wonderful new photographer that I am very happy with because he is free and he is good and that is a good combination!
 
I know I have been announcing since Jan I would have new photos on my website. Of course this has not happened and I want to explain why.   Here is what has been happening.
 
I met a photographer  who specializes in sensual photography.  I was very excited about this guy because he does beautiful work and is well versed in shooting lingerie.  He wanted to do a free photo shoot and use some of my pictures on his website which is fine.  We scheduled something in November last year, but he wound up in the hospital and had to r/s the shoot. The new session was r/s for January. One and a half weeks before the photo shoot he emailed me to tell me his ex’s father had died and he had to prepare the funeral and do the eulogy.  Ok fine, things happen I understand.  
 
We r/s for 2 weeks later.  One week before the photo shoot he emails me to tell me his 100 yr old grandmother died. (Ater they had a birthday party for her 2 wks ago.  Well I guess she was like, ” fuck it I turned 100 and now I am going to die lol).  Once again we r/s for 3 weeks later on for a friday.  I emailed him that monday to reconfirm things and I get no response.  I emailed him again tuesday and wednesday.  Again no response. Finally I emailed on thursday to tell him he was fired and we are done and to not email me anymore trying to r/s.
 
In the meantime I booked the photographer I had used last year just in case the flaky photographer cancelled out yet again.  Unfortunately, him and I had a stupid misunderstanding about something and things ended between us.  So of course no photo shoot.  
 
Luckily (or so I thought) yet another photographer had emailed me and wanted to do a free photo shoot.  Again, I was very excited since he seemed to do pretty good photos.  We scheduled a photo shoot for Sat feb 13th.  I get a text thursday a couple of days before the shoot. He texted to say he got into a car accident on the way to the laundry mat, totaled his car and was in the ER and that he would contact me when he got out to let me know if he could still do the photo shoot Saturday. Of course he never got back to me.  
 
Lol I mean this whole thing was getting insane and I was seriously starting to feel like George Costanza.  My client today told me he loved my website and was laughing a lot while reading my blog posts.  He said the only disappointing thing on the website was the portfolio section.  I then told him the whole story.  He laughed very hard and told me I should write a blog about it and call it the george costanza photo shoot.  I totally agreed since this was becoming a three ring circus anymore.  He did agree both photographers stories were sounding very suspicious. and he said it sounded like they were trying to get out of doing the photo shoot.  I have no idea to be honest.  
 
I was on my way to my estheticians when I saw that text about the photographer getting into a car accident on the way to the laundry mat (I swear I am definitely giving up if the next photographer is struck by lightening on the way somewhere lol).  I thought, “I give up – it is very obvious I am not meant to do new photos right now for some reason. I am a very lucky person and things seem to always work out for me.  I always get lucky breaks and I am always at the right place at the right time.  So when things one by one are not working out for me and/or doors seem to be closing and the timing seems off.  For me I have learned it usually means either: It is the wrong time to do something. There is another option or way out I have missed and that is better for me. I am being divinely protected from something or someone. 
 
When I arrived at my estheticians she wanted to know how my photo shoot had gone.  I laughed and told her the whole story and she could not believe it.  I told her I was seriously starting to feel like george costanza from Seinfeld as this would be his luck.  We reminisced about the episode where Kramer took photos of George and then Newman confiscated them lol.  I love watching Seinfeld!
 
The one thing I have been learning as I walk on my spiritual path is that sometimes what looks like failure is actually success in disguise and your prayers are being answered.  Like for instance,  I have been wanting more dinner dates. Who knows, maybe this entire situation (which inspiried me to write a new blog post about it), will in turn bring me many new dinner dates who not only love Seinfeld, but also know of amazing photographers who can help me and my new photo shoot turns out even better than I could have ever imagined! Or an amazing new photographer sees this blog post and becomes a client.  He does a new photo shoot that is spectacular and gets me loads of wonderful business.  I don’t know, I do know there is a divine plan at work in this situation and I just have to relax, let go and let it unfold.  Yeah that is easier said than done lol. 
 
Wanting some guidance on this situation I have a long time friend of mine who does spiritual consulting, reiki, etc.  I turn to her when I cannot get anything from my own intuition or I am confused.  I asked her what her feelings were on this situation because I was getting very frustrated and did not know what was going on except that I need new pictures.  This is what she said:  
 
“I feel like those photographers were not going to serve your highest good. I am seeing that at least one of them would have kept pictures and used them for their own selfish reasons, and a second photographer would have done damage to your reputation by possessing pictures of yourself. You are being asked to have faith until the perfect photographer comes through. Don’t try to search him out, he will come to you.” 
 
So it does look like I was being divinely protected from using the wrong photographers which is what I sensed but I just wanted confirmation from her.  I even contacted some other photographers a lot of escorts use and this time was willing to pay for a photo shoot but unfortunately it was not going to work out for various reasons.  I guess my friend was right and I don’t need to search him out and he will come to me. I just hope I can get these photos done before I become the oldest escort on the planet.  Just out of curiousity I googled and asked who is the oldest escort on the planet and I found Milly who is 96 lol. 
 
 
and here is Sheila who is 85 
 
 
I was talking to a guy from Europe and we were discussing Sheila and her age and why men were still into her at her age.  He told me in Europe, they do not have so many hang ups about youth and sex like we do here in the USA.  I do agree the US has a lot of repression about things.  I wonder why that is?
 
So I will let all of you know whenever I finally find my photographer and get some new photos done.  What is really sad is I spent $500 on new lingerie for those photo shoots. I have very sexy lingerie from Victorias Secret and another lingerie company to wear and now I can’t show all of you until this gets resolved.  I really do need lingerie photos in my portfolio. Oh well, in the words of George Costanzas father, “Serenity Now!” lol. 
 
3/10/16 Update on the photography situation: Lol ok so out of the blue tons of photographers are contacting me. I now have a total of 5 different photographers to choose from.  You know when it rains it pours.  The car accident photo guy mentioned above texted me today and apologized for the delay and he wants to shoot photos in 2 weeks.  I also have my choice of several other photographers as well.  Now I have to figure out who to work with.  Well what I might do (since all of them except for 1 are free of charge), is take advantage of the situation and shoot with 2 of them and then I will have loads of pictures to rotate around on my ads and this website which would be very advantageous.  

See what did I tell all of you? Sometimes what appears to be failure is actually success in disguise.  I did use serenity now by remaining calm and not getting upset or focusing on the lack of a photographer.  What I did do was give up and release the whole situation and let it go.  I also believe that my twice daily visualizing my goals/success and saying intention statements of what I intend to manifest into my life and doing this consistently everyday brought all this abundance to me. Because before that nothing was working out and it was getting super frustrating and I was starting to wonder if I was going in the right direction.  By calming down and letting it go and visualizing a happy outcome of what I wanted instead of focusing on the lack,  I was able to manifest a happy outcome.  

 
Btw, in case any of you are interested in using law of attraction in your own life to generate success, money, health, etc.  I would highly recommend this new book I just downloaded onto my kindle.  It is called “Advanced law of attraction techniques” by Eddie Coronado.  It is a really great book on using intention statements, visualizing, affirmations to call forth what you want to manifest into your life. I am even in the process of doing a vision board. I am very determined to get what I want this year and like with working out, if you put your mind to something you will succeed at it
 
I think I have finally found a good photographer and we are scheduled to do the photo shoot the first week of April. Hopefully if everything goes as planned (and he does not get struck by lightening lol) I should have new photos on my website by the 2nd week of april.  If you are on my email list then I will send out a mass email to everyone on that list announcing the pictures are posted so you don’t need to keep checking. I can’t believe I am finally going to have new photos.  Btw the pictures on my website are current and the videos were just done a month ago.  The reason I want some new pictures is because I am sorely lacking in the lingerie dept and so the photo shoot will be focusing heavily on that aspect which I am sure all of you will be pleased with ;-).
 
Well this is also interesting.  A magazine (I won’t say which one) just contacted me and wants to photograph me. Last year a modeling agency contacted me and wanted to submit my pics to Hustler magazine.  Well maybe you will see my new photos in a magazine and not on my website.  I can do one where I am bent over wearing a super short skirt and grabbing my ankles and you can see my nice tight pussy.  I do love seeing those pictures and seeing those hot girls with their pretty pussies and completely bare… like I am 😉
 
One time a client wanted me to wear a short skirt,  He said, “wear a short skirt you would wear to grocery shop or something. LOL, yes I always wear super short skirts to grocery shop.  It is the only way to shop! I had to laugh because the only short skirts I own are way too short to go anywhere in – let alone grocery shop.  That might not be a bad idea considering I spend at least $500 a week at whole foods.  I could find a hot guy to buy my groceries.
