OK. Things look depressing for our economy, so I thought that something on the lighter side might be in order.

Since I can't afford a real model or assistant to help set up my lights, I have to resort to Mr. Bear for this. No wages, no healthcare, no 401K contributions, no vacations, no taxes, no sick leave, lateness excuses and no lip. Here's mine:

Hey Bigbearbear,
Do you think your bear would be intersted in hooking up with my bear?
They look like they'd make a nice couple.

Chuck
Where do you get an 18% gray rabbit? If you market it, I'd buy one. So far, I haven't been able to train my teddy to hold a gray card or a color strip, for that matter.

Here is the best $100 I have spent. Rose has been bombarded with an untold number of main light/fill light/hair light combinations

Wow, I want a mannequin like John Power's has....

If I had one of those gals, I wouldn't have to pay models or makeup artists. I could spend my money on wigs and women's clothing. Perhaps I could give her her very own name.

It would be fantastic for lighting practice.
I want one!

Sounds like a perfect candidate for a http://www.realdoll.com (NSFW)

Yes, there's a movie about this also "Lars and the Real Girl"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0805564/

Actually the photog that took those realdoll photos is really good. Her name is Stacy Leigh
