Huskergirl.com goes to the big city!

By "big city" we mean Seattle. It's about Omaha size although some might consider it a hipper place. Kira, one of our favorite Huskergirls, drove up from Portland for this shoot (and some sushi afterwards). For all the Nebraska viewers, sushi is like raw fish bait but you eat it and pay a lot of money for it! Uncooked seaweed is often part of this.
Looking out the 23rd floor of the downtown Seattle Sheraton Hotel.
You can search Huskergirls.com to find more shoots with Kira
Occupy Seattle was protesting outside the hotel trying to get a bank CEO to come out. Click here to see how the protesters were teargassed!  For the record, Huskergirls.com is solidly behind the Occupy Movement. 

Thanks to Kira for driving up for this!!

Mikano - the Theatrical Huskergirl!

Let me introduce Mikano! She is the latest Huskergirl. There's so many words to describe her. She's awsomely adorable and cute and just the sweetest thing. And she gives the Huskergirl Project an international flavor. She wore the shortest jean skirt to our shoot. Ordinarily that would be just fine.

I'm certainly not complaining about the skirt! She looked perfect in it and it really showed her off. I asked her to sit Indian style while we took the photos. It turns out that was a good thing since we discovered that she had that Husker style-sense to wear red panties. Perhaps not the best example of modesty, but that was my fault, not Mikano's.
Modesty is a slippery slope though. We both agreed the red panties were an adorable touch to the images. She commented that she should have worn a red bra which begs the question as to what color bra she was wearing. I asked Mikano if she wouldn't mind showing that for the photos - for the benefit of Husker fans all over the world. It would be a useful cultural lesson for all of us. She was a little surprised by my request as can be seen in the above photo.
That said, she took seriously the request and pondered it. I certainly didn't want her to undress any more than she would be comfortable with. However she thought it might be fun and it should be obvious to the viewer that she started flirting with the camera like she had done this before. Actually, Mikano is a professional theater performer in Seattle where I met her. She's very comfortable in front of a camera.
She was a lot of fun to work with and I really appreciate her helping out with the Huskergirl project. She's just a lovely person! I guess that's enough photos for now. There are more. A funy one is where she took her top off and threw it at me and I got a shot of it flying through the air at me. I have to say, it doesn't get any better than this - doing the Huskergirl Project for the fans!

Elise - Seattle Huskergirl!

Elise is from Seattle and helped out the Huskergirl project. We shot this in Seattle. It was late at night and impossible to get to a more picturesque location. But Elise conveys that very sexy girl-next-door image that is hard to get out of your mind. She is tons of fun to hang with.
She's also an incredible dancer. She went to Argentina and became enamored with the tango. We went out to see her dance instructor in a performance earlier in the evening and Wow! Didn't get to see Elise dance, but it's hard to imagine that she wouldn't be wonderful at it! She certainly has the legs for it! I'm afraid I don't know how to make a good transition here ....

After the evening was over, I had to take Elise back to St. Francis of Assisi convent. She's part of the health-care apostolate where she leads up the pet and dance therapy teams. Those are separate teams - they're not teaching pets to dance! She was formerly a cloistered fully enclosed contemplative nun. Needless to say, cloistered contemplatives lead a hermetical life-style and rarely pose for Huskergirl photos. And by rarely I mean never!

Hear at Huskergirls.com, we want to thank Elise for her service both to the Huskergirl Project as well as to her health-care apostolate.
