Let the problems begin!
So I have two girls I’m going to shoot with, Lilu and Riga. And I’m starting to set up and get ready for the shoot. Now here’s where the problems start. After looking the girls over, I asked to see what what clothes they brought for the shoot. Neither of them brought any clothes, not that I was surprised as I had planned for such things and had a suitcase full of clothes to choose from. However, I specifically told my friend to tell any girl he found to bring heels, and I made this point QUITE clear. So you could imagine my disgust when I learned that neither girl brought heels with them to the shoot. One of them even said that she didn’t own any heels. So thus my headache begins…

I immediately got my friend back on the phone to find out what the fuck went wrong, and he says he told them they needed to bring heels for the shoot, so it’s not like they didn’t get the message. Luckily I had a pair of heels that fit Lilu, but we had nothing for Riga to wear. So I start calling people to see if anyone can find some heels that this chick can fit into. So we wait… and wait… and wait for someone to come up with something. We sat around for SOOO LONG that I pulled out my camera and took a picture of us just waiting around doing nothing. Here you can see Riga chillin and watching tv with my cameraman Artem. I guess she made a new friend 
Anyways, by this time it’s really getting late and we still have no heels. As a last resort I sent my friend Julia to the shoe store with 2000 rubles. If she couldn’t find a pair of heels for that price, then I was sending Riga home and would have to do the shoot with Lilu alone. Julia eventually returns with a pair of shoes that I didn’t particularly like, but seeing as we had something acceptable I decided to proceed with the shoot as planned. The photo on the right shows the heels we finally ended up with after all that time wasted.
So right before we begin, I go over with the girls what I expect from them in the scene… just to make sure everyone’s clear and on the same page. And then all of a sudden one of the girls decides she wants more money than what we had agreed on to do girl/girl action. And of course, if she’s going to get more money, then the other girl wants more money too. So now both girls are saying they want more money for lesbian action. I’m thinking “Ain’t this a bitch…” I can’t believe this bullshit. I got my friend back on the phone to try and straighten them out, because this was all supposed to be a done deal.
So we went back and forth in a negotiation over this bullshit, passing the phone back and forth between us with my friend on the line, with me growing increasingly frustrated over the situation as it was getting later and later. We finally come to an agreement on the lesbian issue, but by this time it’s almost midnight. I had spent the past twelve hours trying to get a shoot set up and it still hadn’t happened!
And to top it all off, now one of the girls wants me to pay for her cab fare home (because it’s so late… which is just as much her fault as it is mine) IN ADDITION to the extra money I was already going to pay her to do the scene. Well, just when I had had enough and was about to call the whole goddamn thing off… my friend Julia says she’ll take care of the cab fare and lets just get the shoot done cause we’d been there all damn day. She was right, so we nipped it in the bud and got underway.
