I had to promise her she could watch Dora afterwards - the payemnt has begun. But Rowan was hanging out with me as I was doing light tests so we got her all dressed for bed and ready to go. The first image of this character was initially meant to be a single portrait with no other bodies in the image. The cigar is a swisher sweets (cheapest out there - I prefer a Macanudo). I think the dress shoes are a better touch. I had originally wanted to wear work boots but I couldnt find them. The white backdrop we had just recieved on behalf of melethia, (thanks Deb - get back to Germany soon!), the oversized wings I had purchased the day after halloween this year (our other set was too small for good impact), and the tutu is actually mine as Aimee had made it for me many many years ago as a part of our juggling show. I have outtakes that I would love to enter there but two fairy images of me in the same week may be just a bit too much. The only bummer is that it came up at the same time as a SP challenge. This character came to mind way back when and I have been just waiting for the right challenge. I have been wanting to shoot this for nearly a year now. As she drifts back to sleep she looks forward to her next encounter with the Real Tooth Fairy - as it will probably be the next night. Rowan climbs back into bed, covers herself back up clutching the coin in her hand. "Here you go kid." The Real Tooth Fairy tosses a half dollar coin onto her pillow and quickly makes his escape. Rowan politely replies "Why yes it would." After a moment he responds, "Will a fifty cent piece get me out of this room without any more critiques?" The Real Tooth Fairy stands quiet for a second and contemplates what she has just proposed. Though if you quit smoking you would probably make up the difference right there." Might be worth it in the long run saving money on health insurance premiums because of a bad back or something from carrying all those coins. Of course if you really wanted to lighten your load you could just go to a dollar bill. Just stick with a Kennedy fifty cent piece and your overall labor increase is kept at a minimum. Then you dont have to carry around a whole bunch of pennies. I have calculated that the going rate for a fresh tooth should be closer to 39.5 cents, but to make it easier on you why don't we just round up to 50. Now that was some years back and I wanted to make sure that your rates have kept up with the times." Rowan continues without skipping a beat, "My brother says that he got a quarter for every tooth he left under his pillow. I have been hoping to have this discussion with you." "How about we just skip the small talk and get down to business. Quite kind of you to point that out kid," the Real Tooth Fairy snidely replies. "And smoking is really bad for your health my mommy says." "You're kind of fat you know", Rowan quickly retorts. "Uhmm, why yes, I am the Real Tooth Fairy, kid." The Real Tooth Fairy, still a bit unsettled as to be having an actual conversation with a kid (it hasn't happened in many generations) steps back a few and responds. "You are the Real Tooth Fairy aren't you?" Rowan slowly got out of bed and began to remember the stories by her brother and the money that was left under his pillow for his teeth that had fallen out. The Real Tooth Fairy on the other hand was a bit startled. Without nearly a startle she rubs her eyes and says 'Hello there. Rowan wakes up one night to find the Real Tooth Fairy at her bedside.
