Monku, monku, monku... Frustrated

I recently photographed the winners of a Scholarship pageant that is a preliminary to the Miss Hawaii Scholarship Pageant. I had advised the winners and also advised their director of the specific outfits I wanted them to bring. Why? Because I had a vision of what I was planning to do for them and I needed a variety of outfits.

I needed an evening gown, their opening number outfit, a business suit type outfit, a pair of jeans with a WHITE blouse or top and their competition bathing suit or something similar. Both girls "forgot" the bathing suit, one didn't bring their opening number outfit (black dress) and brought a black top instead of a white top.

They forget that I'm doing this practically pro bono (fortunately the director gives me a small stipend so it's not a total loss) but this kind of attitude (because they're the contest winners) gets me irritated.

They don't realize that by conveniently "forgetting" things throws a wrench in my plans of what I was going to create for them that I'm not going to bother especially if they won't respect my wishes.
