So I did the shopping thing. Sadly, the plastic lobster wasn't to be found (there's a surprise). However, did get some top finds in the charity shops and various other cool things in the sales. Total yield:
- Black PVC thigh-length coat (£12.50)
- Deeply sexy/trashy diamante studded suspender belt and stockings (reduced from £17 to £7.50 and so gorgeous am very tempted to keep. Yes, could use them for the shoot but they are lovely and had too much stuff go missing on last shoot to be sure I'd get them back)
- 3 pairs of hold ups and 4 pairs of stockings (£18.50)
- A virginal white cotton nightie (£20)
- A gorgeously slutty pair of fingerless fishnet gloves (£6.99)
- Massage oil (£4)
- Dictation pad (99p)
- 'Wench-like' puffy sleeved white top (£5) Couldn't find a virginal skirt so will have to get photos of said wench mid-corruption. Then again, couldn't find Lord of the Manor stuff at all so will have to be quite well on way to being corrupt anyway...
- Studded black leather choker (£5)
- Dark green and very slinky crochet/mostly holes top (£9.50)
- Very short black leather skirt (£6)
An entirely trollopy wardrobe for under £100. Not that I'll be tempted to wear any of it after the shoot of course...
Called the photographer to see if he had any props and he'd got a first aid kit, so that's our kinky doctor/nurse sorted (OK, they'll have to be naked but what the hell). He's also got some face paints that can double as body paint. Remembered that there's a crop and handcuffs I can borrow from the studios. Can improvise spanking stuff with hands or a ruler. Am guessing that it would be over-cruel to use gaffa tape in place of bondage tape though...
Am now going to forrage in cupboards for scallop shells. Sure I have some. And just because they've been used as ashtrays, doesn't mean we won't be able to make them look like aphrodisiacs with some careful use of greenery. Am also sure there's a shaving brush somewhere in the house. (I wasn't going to pay £25 for a prop and that was the cheapest one I could find.)
Quick shopping trip in the supermarket opposite the studios for tampons, asparagus, cucumber, strawberries, chocolate, oysters and possibly some squirty cream and should be done.
Still a shame about the plastic lobster though.
