Gavagirl once told me about a friend of hers who did modelling for smoking fetishists. Her friend would sit in a chair and smoke cigarette after cigarette, fully clothed (perhaps provocatively) while a photographer took pictures of her. After today, I know what her friend felt like doing that. We just got done shooting a camera test for a friend of mine; my role was "man." I was smoking for the shoot, and what most people don't know about filmmaking is that if you smoke in one scene, you end up smoking something like a pack of cigarettes to allow for every angle, close up, and so on. My throat burns, and I'm a bit woozy after all that. But we're done, and except for a sound equipment malfunction, it went well. Now we eat.
