Robin had his first photo shoot today! The agency called us up last-minute—apparently the client had booked models of the wrong sizes and needed replacements ASAP. We weren’t doing anything else so we drove out to Richmond and Robin strutted his stuff in front of the cameras. It was all over very quickly. If they use the pictures it’ll be for an insert in the newspaper on Sept. 28th, advertising for Mervyn’s. So we’ll keep an eye out! Robin was paid $125 for the day.

On our way back from the photo shoot the agency called us up to book us for two go-sees on Monday. Maybe they’re throwing more work his way because they think we’re reliable? Or maybe it was just coincidence. I can actually foresee a time approaching when the novelty of all this will have worn off, and it will just be a pain in the butt. So Robin may be headed for early retirement. We’ll see how tickled I am if/when the pictures show up in the paper.

In other news, last night Robin stood on his own two feet—no hands, ma!—for a good three or four seconds before falling on his butt.
