Lindsey started with a leisurely walk down the side rail, sipping coffee and exchanging giggly huddles with Jem talking about the players. especially Payne. "Yeah, so if your going to be around, I'll get you into the pep rally. You can meet Marques Payne. I had such a crush on him before I met Adam. He's bigger in person. Too bad he's married, right."

After some probably inappropriate banter, she set aside the cup, leaning against the rail to chat and show off the outfit, then doing some twirls in the wind. She heard some music from the Ledo deck, and danced, twirling and throwing the dress skirt side to side. She ran up the deck with Jem so they could run back towards the camera smiling and laughing. Then she took one of the life preserver rings from the wall and made some fun faces through it at it.

Repeating a few stunts, Lindsey stood on the rail to play in the wind, and waved and greeted some passengers walking through. Then she used her phone as a prop, taking arm length selfies to show off the clothes and the back drop. At times she lowed down close her eyes and look up into the sun, feeling the warmth on her face and smiling for how good it felt. The whole time she improvised with whatever was nearby to have some girlish fun or take a dignified adult moment.

   Beson cracked out the second  camera  and handed it to Sally getting  the third  camera and  4th  while sally held on to  1st and   was ready  to the  camera back to reload..

 One  more  outift from  rack one..hustle up!

At Benson's prompt, Lindsey and Jem hustled to the stateroom for their next outfit. She'd already been through the rack twice, but there was just so much there. It was getting later in the day and it was warmer, but it was still a day wear situation. But they were on a ship that was basically a country club on the waves. It was still about sun and sea.

This time, Lindsey went with bikinis, light pullovers and sarongs. Again she pulled out the ones she liked the best, and let Nadine pick from among them.  She ended up with a coral-pink bikini with a pastel green poncho pullover. The sarong wrap had a matching green and coral-pink fades, but was somewhat sheer like the poncho. The over-wear only teased a glimpse of her shape at certain angles in the full sun, enticing the viewer's eyes to stay glued to her movements.

The last time they changed, Lindsey assumed they would stay on the bow but she was wrong. This time she made no assumptions about where they would be, waiting until she made it back to Benson before planning her activities.

 when they   returned   Lindsey and  Jem  saw a   table set up, just   to the    bow part of the main =dec , dancefloor. there were some players  , playing  shuffle board, but only about 8 people , all told.

 Benson had them take seats  as  he had  his  back to the forecastle..   he told them to  act as if the  had  orders  something  for   a snack... One od the 'sailors" who were  raly waitoers,  came up  with two Mock tails that  were  red  and fruits,  , placing them   on the table as the Camera  whilred,  The sailot  and the    sign in the  Back Round that said  'Pirate  Crusie' , was one of the first real advertisements  for the  ship.

Lindsey slid into the seat, turning it so that a little of her outfit was hidden by the table as possible. She leaned forward, resting her chin on the tops of the fingers of her right hand as she stared at Jem. "Listening" Intently to whatever she was say with a smile of delight. She changed her position and posture multiple times.  When the sailor-waiter brought the mocktails, she lounged back in her seat accepting the drink with a big gracious smile, then went back to "chatting".

After a few moments, Lindsey and Jem stood continuing their conversation, drinks in hand and laughing periodically. She made a point to turn and greet people nearby, raising her glass and waving as if they were all one big bunch of friends.

  Benson checked the time...then looked at the sky,ok?  lets go to the Wheelhouse, the captain  will be there and we'll get some shots of  you  two with the bridge crew?..which is like  3  people altogether.. but  this  pics, will be  for the  Pirate  Cruise, and  you'll still be hawking those   outfits.., he switched cameras  for the wheel house shoots.

 up in the   wheel hose  the three  bridge crew greeted them with smiles, Captain Danny  Jones, 1st  Mate  Claire  Moggins  and helm Vinnie Close.

  they got pictures  sitting in the Captains  chair, and looking  at the  map table, Both ladies   got to  'steer the ship  for a few pics,

   have the roll was used up,  Benson said...OK..go donw , get some 'lunch Clothes of   rack #2.. we're gonna  sit and eat for real, but  i'll get some  shots  when out food arrives, and after we are done. meet me on the main dec.

 he told    Sally which camera  was which  and she gave him  the  two reloaded Cameras'

Lindsey had never been on a ship's bridge before. It was super cool to meet the crew and play about the bridge. She had fun having the Captain explain how to read the map and wore someone's hat while she steered the ship. It was harder than she thought it would be. They were just going straight, but as she watched the compass, she saw how much the current moved the ship off course for which she had to correct. It was also kind of scary, but she had confidence that if she was in danger of doing anything wrong, the captain or the helmsman would jump in to save the day.


Costume change!! It was time for rack #2.

In the State room, Lindsey browsed through the 'afternoon wear', which was still day wear, but a little less beachy. She let Nadine select from her choices again, a job the Henna exec seemed to be enjoying. While they went through it, they were actually getting friendly making some additional small talk. For Lunch, Lindsey ended up in a body-hugging, soft blue t-shirt type top over the shoulder ties, and white shorts with strappy white wedge sandals. She put on a few strands of wood bead necklaces and matching bangle bracelets. She liked it, as it showed off more of her figure.

When they got up to the lunch table, Lindsey took her seat. She didn't realize how much work she had been doing until she drank down all of her water and then half of the fill up.

"I hope you're getting great shots, Benson, because I'm having a blast. It's almost hard to believe that I can get paid to do this."

 benson and Sally  were   relaxing, Nadine seemed in a much better  mood..Not  to sound   too egotistical , but i always  take great shots. But it comes down to perspective. we have to pick out the slides  we  like , and submit them. the  clients  don't have time to look over  100's of slides.. so? we pick what we like, they pick what they like  , and since they are paying? The ones they pick are the one that get used.

 now, when we're done eating,  we'll do some   more   pick of  you 'after eating, make sure the  food   playes  are in the pics  for the curise  line

Lindsey giggled at Benson's non-egotistical egotistical comment. "Go ahead and brag. If it wasn't true, you wouldn't be as successful as you are. " She gathered her salad bits into a pile with the some chicken then took a big mouthful. After chewing completely and swallowing she continued. "I do love these outfits. I could make ensembles all day and never leave the stateroom. And that would be a tragedy because this is great."

"So after lunch and the food shots, what are we going to do for the afternoon sets?"

"Jem, are you having fun?"

  Jem  nodded  as she ate her Burger and fries.This is a prety fun shot.. i have never been on a shoot, where out  set was moving!

 Nadine   gave a small smile,I think the girls  are doing  fine.. I am aslo interested in the    rest of the   lunch time   shots?

 well...   the   'finish eating  shots" and then. maybe    the Girls fooling around  with the shuffleboard..then were are goig to the Stern...  they have a lounge of  sorts,, with deck chairs  and a  'tiki bar' stall i'll get alot of good shot  for the Ship  and  the lounge chairs  will be  good for the outfits, and the  stalls .. we;'ll see what else is back there... But  first will finish with these outfits, then  stop at the stateroom , on the way to the  Stern

"Right?" Lindsey nodded to Jem. "You would have loved Benson's SI shoot. That was so fun."

"If they have a workout area, I saw some sweet outfits in there for that." Lindsey sipped her water. "Super sexy. For shuffleboard or other actual activities though there was some nice active-wear. Not too sexy for that. We wouldn't want to give the shuffleboard crowd heart palpitations." Her eyebrows popped with a wicked grin.

"But wow, it's a lot more work than I expected. it's fun but we're moving moving moving."

 well  let me get the ;after eating thing' done  and well head back to the stern

 he took some shots and had the Girls  get the  shuffle  board  sticks  and  pretend they knew what they were doing

 a few minutes of that, and    he headed the camera to Sally, took the reloads.. and saidYou  Girls go ahead..I meet you  at the stern.. Maybe a bathing suit   to start. and then we'll work some more pics  with some  of those surfer stay pants and such>

The eating shots, were simple. Lindsey and Jem were seated next to each other with their chairs turned so they could talk wile having the dishes on display between them. To make the conversation naturally delightful, Lindsey told some fun stories about her school days, and Jem did the same. Then they went to the shuffleboard area. Lindsey had never played the game before. It was harder than it looked, but it was still fun. She cheered when she lucked out, and laughed at herself when she made a mistake. She laughed more than she cheered, but as long as the stills looked good it didn't matter. They had fun with it for a few minutes and then it was time to move to the stern.

Costume Change!

Benson called for swim suits to start. Lindsey and Jem both pulled the out suits, looked them over, imagined themselves wearing it, then either kept it out for further consideration or put it back. She whittled it down to three. There was one she really liked that was basically a completely see-through one-piece that covered the modesty by a single wide black stripe twirling around the body like a candy cane. It was super sexy, but probably too sexy for this shoot. With Nadine's input, she finally settled on a scarlet-red two piece. The top was held up by a wide strap on the right shoulder tied off into a big bow. The bottoms had a similar tie-off bow low on the left hip. It was a little low cut in the front, but it covered the butt respectably without being prudish and showed just the right amount of cleavage up top. Lindsey gabbed a wide matching scarlet ribbon to tie a bow in her hair or around her neck as needed. Red strappy sandals completed the set.

Jem ended up with a beautiful blue and white floral two-piece with frills along the the straps under the breasts, over the shoulders and around the hips. Like Lindsey's suit, it was both classy and sexy showing enough without being vulgar or too suggestive.

When they got the stern, the models went over to Benson to get their instructions.

"Okay, we're ready!" Lindsey scanned the deck around the stern. "How are we doing this one?"

 First a couple  fun shots,  You two   sit in the loungers,  I'm gonna have that  big shoudler  guy  come in,.there he is.. Frank?... Ok     Frank , You will holds a bottle of Lotion in each hand.. and stare  at the  Ladies... Ladies... you    both  turn, Look at him as you do the 'lifting the sunglasses' thing....then    another   with  him   taking a knee in between you  while  you, each, offer  him  a leg, turing your  torso  se we get a good shot of the top of your suits.

After that  some 'sunning poses" , then you two walking around the  stern, looking   at the  water  behind us  and , maybe..I dunno? point to the shore for something...make it Up..have  fun with it.

 Jem asked,you want  walking?   and if you do?  towards you, or away from you...

 Both, I think? Guys will like to see both, ladies  will like  to see how the suit reacts...ok? Have  fun with it.. this will be the lion's share of  this section,, we'll have one more change before  we go to  'dinner wear'

Hearing the Benson's directing of the scene, Lindsey looked over at Frank. Damn, Benson had a good eye. Frank did have nice shoulders, and nice everything else too. This would be a sexy shot. Sexier than she thought they'd be doing, but it was a good call to bring in the guy. The women would like it, and the guys would want to believe that they could come up to a pair of models on the cruise and apply lotion to them. Steamy steamy without being overt.

"Good call, Benson. I love it." Lindsey looked over at Jem to see if she was on board. She seemed to be and even asked for some clarifications.

Sauntering over to the lounge, Lindsey tied her red ribbon in her hair, making a pretty bow. Unsure if he was shooting the whole time, she just made a show of casually sitting then reclining in the sun. She first laid back with one knee slightly raised and her arms at her sides, resting on the arms of the lounger. When Frank came into the scene, he stood between them offering the lotion. Lindsey turned to face him, lifting her glasses with an slight appraising smirk, as she drank in his delicious physique. Imagining it was Wade standing there, it wasn't a stretch to summon back some of that charge from the night before. As Frank knelt between the chairs, she lifted her torso, breast forward to show off the top. A mischievous smirk played on her lips as she offered Frank her leg, slightly bent, foot pointed and toes slightly curled. They went through this three times to get different aspects.

After Benson got those shots with Frank applying the dry lotion, they reset. Lindsey wiped way whatever looked shiny, then went back to her earlier sun bathing pose. Then she stretched her arms back over her head as she lifted her toned belly with a sultry arch of her back. She gently rubbed her shin with her foot, then traded lifting each knee slightly as she canted and turned her hips and shoulders. Everything was in slow motion to give Benson plenty of time to choose his shots.

Next came the standing and walking sets. Starting closest to Benson, Lindsey and Jem leaned on the rail both forwards looking out over the ocean and back so he got a good view of the suits from the front. They did a set together, talking and pointing and giggling, then each individually. Next came the walks. First together, strolling, frequently looking at each other to talk like old friends who were catching up, occasionally holding hands. Stopping every so often to chat or look and point out over the rail. When they got about twenty yards away, they turned and did the same coming back towards the camera. Next they repeated the walks solo.

Benson was right. With multiple takes and some improvisational scenes, it took most of the afternoon. When they were done, they gathered by the staging area.

"Whew, that was fun, but I think before we do the evening shots, I should shower to clear my skin. I got a little sweaty in the sun."

  Benson looked at the  Sun, he gave a  guarded  Nod...as h squinted up at the sun,,Go  ahad, Fast showers  thought, I want this  light  for the last  'after noon wear"  outfit,,, This is going , rather  will, everyone I thank you for that, always good not to have  some Divas  around!..Go.. light is bleeding away.

  Jem asked, Shorts  or   skirts?

  I dunno?  maybe  skirts?  if there are any Skorts, used them, i haven';t seen them i  Mags lately, we can tap a whole new  vein,,

Fast meant fast. Lindsey wasn't a photographer herself but she spent plenty of time around cameras and knew the importance of light and angles. She hustled down to the stateroom and jumped right in the shower. It was just sweat and she didn't have oily skin, so the all she needed was a soapy rinse. For her hair she shook it out, only rinsing her scalp by scrubbing water in with her finger tips. She was done in just a few minutes and used two more to blow out her hair.

Wrapped in a towel she went back to rack two looking for skorts. There were a few cute ones. Inspired by Jem's bikini, she picked out a few with floral designs. They were all about the same length, coming down to a couple inches below the crotch, while underneath the shorts were like tight boy shorts just about crotch length. She ended up really loving a white flare with an irregular cherry blossom print. The waistband had a crossover fold that sat right on her hips but angled down to meet lower in the front. For a top she found a low cut hugging string tee of the same color as the pink cherry blossoms but with a white upper trim and second over the shoulder straps. On her feet, she went back to a pair of matching wedges and found matching bangles for her wrists.

Jem came up with a red skort with a white silhouette print of flowers only on the right lower side. Her top was similar to Lindseys but white with red trim. She too wore wedges on her her feet.

Going back up as quickly as they went down, they made it back to Benson in just about fifteen minutes

"Sorry if that took a couple extra minutes, but I look fresher now."

  Benson Nodded,as  Sally handed them ech a cup of coffee that had  the  Pirate ship Logo.we'll kill this light with as many Pics  as i can get of you two     Strolling..now  doe this, you have to be on the Starboard  side. the  suns  Gonna  hit the   trees  and  hills  over to the west, so  we'll steal what light we  can   Get...   you two  Walk down, Chat.. make some  poses to show the Skorts As you bet  near me  you can give  me  better  veiwes of the tops...right?.. onc we get those, You''' walk away  so whe  ge  back shots of the Topsn  and the  way the skorst  fit and all that..

 head down to the   Bow.. when Sally cues you, just walk around the  corner  and head toward same..remember..this isn;t a race..you;re hanging out on a cruise.

 Jem asked,what about that  stairs  that leads  to  the Upper  deck and the bridge. You want  any poses on that, walking up  and down the stairs?

 yeah! yeah..good call  do that when you get there, takes  turns  going up and  down..

"Thank you!" Lindsey accepted the coffee. "Ready Jem?"

Coffee cups in hand, Lindsey and Jem strolled leisurely down the starboard side. They chatted with friendly warm smiles to match the red-yellow glow of the western horizon. It was an animated conversation with each of them leaning in to speak put her ear close to get a discretionary tidbit. Every so often Lindsey would twirl or give her hips a graceful twist to make the skirt flare out. More than once, they stopped to admire the setting sun over the trees.

When they reached the stairs, Lindsey and Jem went up a few steps at a time, then stopping to face each other and chat. Lindsey's hips and shoulders were in near constantly motion to give a get some natural but pretty or sexy poses. When they reached the top, Lindsey went through the door then peeked out with a lean as if she was sneaking a whisper into Jem's ear. And then again to turn her ear towards Jem's mouth with her fingers behind to receive a whisper. Then Jem did the same. After that skit, they slowly descended, holding the rail as they faced eachother to chat. Each step take with a prolonged  reach of the leg. On the deck, the two took turns to ascend and descend the stairs. Lindsey walked up with some dancy sway, stopping to use the elevation to look out at the horizon, sometimes with her hand above her eyes to shield the glare. On the way down she focused on the descent but often pulling the skirt out to the open side with her fingers.

With the stairs scene completed they continued to the front, occasionally waving as if greeting someone off camera. At the front, they paused, for Sally's cue to round the corner and head up to the bow.

   Benson   nodded as he    just wave d  Sally off, they would all return to the state  room/ Benson looked  tired, even though he wasn't the one  doing all the walking.

 Ok..here's the game plan for the next bit... They are going to start  serving    Dinner  below  deck.. Pick out something that you  would  'be going ' to dinner in, pants  suits?   dresses , whatever... we'll ahve  one shoot  on the Bow  with the  stars  to the port side  as a back drop, and the ship's   light  as for ground.. By that time the ship  will be docking   and   we'll   sit  down and have a real dinner , maybe a drink or two.. but stay sober...  when the  ship gets underway  for the return trip.. Port   will face shore , Starboard  will  be  'out to sea'.. we'll get some shots  of you with  another Outfit  change    on the stern   with the tiki bar  as the center piece..... when we  finish there, we'll get the  evening wear and go to the  dance  area.. i get  one round of shots there.. and the the rest of  the Night is 'party Night ' for yo9u all..you deserve it.

 Jem smiled..so  we'll get paid  to dance!..

 T=yes  Ma'am.. take your time  changing, I'll be on the bow  waiting

When they got back to the stateroom, Lindsey used the moment to take a breather. She was probably more tired but with the adrenaline she didn't feel it yet. It was just a moment to clear her head and reset for the evening shoot. Dinner. It was simple. A meeting with friends, but at a nice place to dress up. Not too much, just nice.

When it came to going out, Lindsey preferred dresses to pants. Pants suits were for board rooms or certain interviews. Dresses were for elegance and for casual charm or grace. It was dinner, so something to enhance her natural appearance not be a statement in an of itself. Flipping the hangars from left to right, she searched. Most were nice, some too nice and others not right for the mood. But with all that was there, she found a few choices. After some thinking and mirror trials, she finally found a pretty linen slant hem dress that almost made it to her knees. Vibrant, it had splashes of floral pinks and light greens on a white base. Cross strap supports held around the neck, leaving a teardrop shaped opening to show off a pendant necklace and a hint of cleavage. The natural taper of the dress hugged her waist, making a line breaking belt or sash completely unnecessary. Instead of the fun day bangles, she put on her own rose gold bracelets and a sleek feminine watch. It was dinner, so she went for heels instead of sandals or wedges.

Jem med Lindsey at the door in an off the shoulder baby blue dress that had a built in waist band and a flared skirt that ran to just below mid thigh. She had the same idea for her footwear, sporting three inch heels. The pair was all set, and made their way up to meet Benson.

  They got to the Bow,   and benson hand them to the port, side, to catch the light from the main deck dance floor  , were a few couples were dancing.

 he  used the stars  as a back drop, rthen  waved them  to the  starboard  so he could  catch the   Docks  for the  Southern  building,, as the  ship  blew its  horn and the  docks  answered back- as the    ship  went into its Berth,   Benson smiled  and said,

 well done!.. lets go eat while they excahnge  passangers, and  then we 'll get you changed  for the  Club shots.

 Benson waved of Sally  who took the other  3  women to the Dinning area  while  Benson   put his amera's in the state  room and locked everything up.

 he came  back , was let to their table  and he leaned in, giving Nadine  a wink,Order what you  want, the  Cruise line is paying!

The next set of shots were by starlight and City glow. Benson had Lindsey and Jem get a few night night shots on either side of the ship. These were the casual shots, and they didn't take long. Once her was happy, he sent them ahead to dinner. The ship was exchanging the day cruise passengers for the night crowd. There would too much activity, It was a the best time to take a break. They took seats but waited for him to join.

"Wow. Long day, right?" Lindsey said as Benson took the seat across from her. "I guess we can count on consistent lighting for the rest of the shoot."

They had just been drinking water, but with Benson back, they could make their dinner orders. Lindsey had worked up an appetite, but she didn't want to risk staining her dress with messy food and didn't want to fill up before dancing. She opted for grilled fish on a bed of rice with broccoli. It was plenty of food, but could all be eaten neatly with a fork.

"So, after this, we change into club wear and dance? I swear I'm going to be wearing a smile all the way to the game."

  Benson had   chicken Parm.. Jem had   a creamy soup and small sald. Nadie  had   beef tips

  Take yoru time eating, I don;t  want to shoot  until    we are under way.. get the people to   get the   dance  hall warmed up. We'll  take some shots , You can have  some  fun... then  one more  switch to more Club wear,, take the last shorts,, should give you a good hour or  more , just  to party

 he  dug into  his  food,  people were coming board, Some of them looked like they were  dressed  to party, others  were in normal clothes, but were finding   tables in the dance area.

 Jem,wait?   two months ago we  were in Georgia  at that club and we had  to leave?

 Benson smiled,yes we  did, because of all the people, i didn't think it  safe   for you and the others  to  stay  for a bit, we  al left togther,no one hurt and everyone got paid.... out on this ship? the crowd that is here...is here.. and there isn;'t  any use  wasting a few more rolls  of  film, when we covered, just about  every thing  we could cover on every section of the ship, so? rather then have you do 'make work"..you  get to have  fun...

 Jem  smiles,I'm not complaining? Just wondered why!

As she ate, Lindsey watched the new people filter on board. A lot of them were really dressed to party. It made her wonder if this cruise was one of those 'secret' hot spots. The more she thought about it, the more sense it made. They had a bars, food, dancing and rooms. It was probably a hell of a hookup destination. Oh the stories those stateroom walls could tell.

"Tell me about this club. I'm interested." Lindsey's eyes flashed up at them as she carefully ate her fish. "What kind of shoot and what kind of club?"
