When Lucky got back he took his time setting up some lighting, and we shot Chantelle on a counter near the bathroom. [Hey, it can be tricky setting up lighting up against a mirrored wall, particularly when the photographer intends on a black and white set. … It can be really tricky when Chantelle keeps bopping about naked the whole time.]

For the counter shoot we had to deposit ourselves into the adjoining bathroom area to keep from showing up in the reflections, which obviously limited the work area. Still, we got some cool, atypical shots in the end — some poses we got from Chantelle almost conveying a feeling of her BTS shows. Then we did a video diary update and Chantelle finally shot a solo on one of the chairs. Pity we never kept that chair somehow now that the Riv is gone. [Well, people traveling internationally tend to have large suitcases, but they might not have been that big.]

Chantelle was tired and went off to have a nap … which turned into a 12 hour sleep for her. While Chantelle slept, I headed over to the Pepper Mill where Shayla, Gibby, Lon and Steve were having a meal and joined them. Hey, we got to have ice cream again. [Since Maverick plans on seeing Chantelle again, he cannot safely mention that Chantelle actually managed to sleep through the entire evening’s festivities, which were to have included the trip to Caesar’s Palace to see the popular show Absinthe. Shayla was already feeling poorly, so she opted out, and for whatever reason, taking one of “the guys” to the performance with him did not sound as appealing to poor Mav as watching Shayla eat ice cream. Go figure. … Of course we can continue to tease Chantelle mercilessly about this poorly-paced day, and should she in fact see us again next January, we can assure her that all of the people that ever teased her have been fired. … Really. … Swear.]
