She Had Me At Hello
When I opened my fashion photo studio in Lisbon
one name kept popping up while I was doing the rounds
with my portfolio: Wendy. She had modeled for Yves
Saint Laurent in Paris, danced with the Royal Ballet in
London, owned her own plane, owned the model agency
in Lisbon, and everyone seemed to know her. All that
and she was only 25 years old. I was getting fed up of
hearing about Wonder Woman Wendy everywhere I
went, and before long, "Miss Perfect" was at the top of
my list of people I didn't want to meet. Nevertheless,
when I needed three kittens playing with a basket of
wool for a magazine cover shot, my inner rascal couldn't
resist contacting her classy agency. The receptionist
asked me to hold, and a few moments later a voice came
on the other end: "Hello, this is Wendy."
"Hi. My name's Nick Boothman, and I'm a
photographer."
