Noir musings w/ Kitti Von Page!

I just arrived in Las Vegas, which means the Los Angeles leg of the trip is behind me. I had almost five hours to reflect on the last week; the good and the bad. It was great having @customnature out there. He’s my brother, as in, sibling, and we haven’t really seen each other outside of me visiting Pennsylvania in over 10 years. I had a chance to introduce him to @thomaskuntzart, which was very memorable, for both of us. The rest of the trip was navigating COVID bullshit. Models cancelling, locations changing. It was the most stressful part of the trip.

My very last shoot in Los Angeles on this trip was with a beautiful Puerto Rican pinup named Kitty Von Page. We’ve been Instagram friends for years and she’s a big part of the planning and production of the annual Viva Las Vegas pinup and rockabilly festival. We’ve wanted to shoot together for ages, and we were making solid plans in late 2019 for this to finally happen. Obviously, things didn’t work and but there would be some delayed gratification two years later. She flew down from San Fransisco for this shoot and we killed it!

Kitti brought her friend to do make-up and I gave her a walk through of the Gable estate in La Cañada. We didn’t waste any time as I had to be finished shooting in less than two hours for another engagement. She is one of the most efficient models I’ve ever worked with, nailing every pose and look in effortless fashion. She came prepared with several outfits, all uniquely styled. She was a total professional. In many ways, she reminded me of my friend @vintagevandalizm, who is the gold standard of pinup modeling by all accounts.

This was a ceremonious conclusion to my LA trip. I’m looking forward to the shoots I have in Las Vegas, now that I’m here. I’m going to be getting to sleep earlier than usual. Tomorrow, I’ll be going for a massage in the afternoon. This trips really bust my body up, sleeping on couches and being cramped in to airplanes. Even my rental car was tiny and uncomfortable. All in all, I made some money, all the shoots so far were great, and I’m sure the next ones will be great as well. Cervena Fox and I will be shooting tomorrow. Have a great night!
