Chapter 9

Showtime! All of the crew had left except a well-known Swedish Tv personality doing the introductions and a woman doing the filming and then ‘me’ the so called photographer and critical client. The models had arrived earlier but were getting ready in another trailer in the back and I hadn’t seen them yet, except from the corner of my eye a bit further away when some occasionally came out for a smoke.

Anneli finally sat down next to me and reassured me that all the people who are now here, were all friends and colleges who knew each other well so I should relax and enjoy myself and take the pictures whatever I wanted to take, she told me a bit about photography and whispered in my ear, where to put the lights and reflectors, so that they will not be in the way for the video filming lady, but sufficient for taking the pictures. Tuva was getting the models ready; some catering was in the cooler and could be served anytime. The weather was great, no stage heaters needed yet.

Anneli told me a bit more about herself and the connection with that famous brand name of Victoria Secret and said she had invited her famous friend from Stockholm, but wasn’t sure if she would show up, probably not, since she hasn’t arrived yet. Sit back, enjoy the show and see what comes up, she gave me a wink when she said that last remark.

I asked Anneli who the Tv lady was, because I, somehow, recognized her but I could not place her. Anneli looked at me with a secretive smile and told me, that there is no need to know, but on a first name basis you can call her Ulrika and if I watched Swedish Tv, I might recognize her, as well as another younger lady who was going by the name of Madge or Maddy, “Who has a last name is like that of a pornstar, but she isn’t, also a well-known news presenter”, Anneli had said.

Ulrika!
