Behind the Scenes

I know that many of you out there wish you could spend every day with me and the rest of the Tudor House Gang (Evan, Mabel and Kate). So in an effort to let that dream come true (virtually), I give you a Behind the Scenes look at this weekend's photo shoot.

You probably assumed that the end result (aka Mabel's glamour shot posted yesterday) was just a quick, effortless shot on my iPhone. You probably thought that was Mabel's natural pleasant demeanor. In fact, one loyal reader even said "She actually looks completely adorable and sweet in this picture!! Haha" when I sent her a little sneak peek preview to get her pumped for the blogs to come.

Au contraire, mon frere. It was the product of a full morning's work and quite a few bitchy looks and comments courtesy of Mabel, who turns out to be quite a prima donna when it comes to her modeling. The proof is in the outtakes, posted below.

Please note that the reason we moved the photo shoot from floor to chair was because of the huge amount of debris visible behind Mabel in my living room. Gross. So please ignore Mabel's hotdog Halloween costume, Evan's dirty old shoes, and a red lamp missing its lamp shade and waiting to be returned to TJ Maxx when you look through these beauties.
