A Big Bowl of Fruit Loops

Thanks Trisha! http://trishazemp.blogspot.com/

So the big story for this week maybe won't be much of a story but it was a hecka good time. The pictures should also be delightful. See, our good friend Trisha is an aspiring photographer and wanted to have a photo shoot. The subjects: us, her friends. The theme: pouring a bowl of fruit loops over our heads. With milk.
Well, she broke the idea to us at dinner, which, by the way, was a pretty awesome celebration of Chinese New Year. The caf actually did a really good job and the food was great. Ate loooaaaads of egg rolls. Anyway... she told us what she wanted to do and asked for volunteers. I'll admit, I was more than a little incredulous. Fortunately for our story, the idea quickly grew on me and I agreed. In the end, pretty much everyone else did too.
An hour later, I met up with Sydney and Joanna and we headed up to the photo studio. We all wore white shirts and then shorts that could afford to get sticky- personally, I wore a swimsuit. Well, we played around in the studio (it's also a dance studio) and danced to great music like Barbara Ann and Roses Are Red while Trisha set up the lights and did her 'still life' bowl of fruit loops.
At last, it was time to begin. Ali went first as she had to dash off to swing club. She sat on the stool, posed with a bowl, got in some shots, and then handed the bowl over to Joanna, standing on a chair out of the way. It was time.
You can guess what happened. The bowl tipped, milk poured, Ali's eyes widened, the camera flashed, a HUGE mess was made, and we all laughed hysterically. The shots are phenomenal; Ali could be a genuine model.
Soon though, it was time to start over... Being poor college students, we have perfected the art of recycling. Fruit loops were gathered and returned to the bowl. Yes, they were on the floor. Yes, they were wet. Yes, they were sticky. Yes, they were delicious... ok, just kidding. That's disgusting. Who would do that? Ahem...
But back to our story. The cycle repeated a couple of times, until it my turn. Yours truly sat before a camera and allowed his friends to empty a bowl of exceptionally soggy cereal over his head. And the pictures are AWESOME.
I learned that the sugary milk makes an excellent hair gel, by the way. I've never been able to get my hair to stand straight up like that so easily ever before... Well, clearly, a shower was in order, and that's what I did. Thus ends our story for today...
