Crazy Bums

The other day started out smoothly. Matt the Darestars Photographer, Jessie Lee and I agreed to meet up in Union Square, NYC so we can hand out some darestars.com postcards. These gorgeous glossy cards have 6 of our Darestars ladies imprinted on them. I brought my little High-Definition camcorder with me to document this adventure! Now when I say adventure... I MEAN adventure. It was insanity. Hot, sweaty, sexy and CRAZY.

Jessie Lee showed up with her denim mini-skirt, fishnet stockings and a black bikini top. I quickly did some make-up and gave her the custom made Darestars halter top I diligently worked on like a good seamstress. We peeked into the shoe section of Strawberry in Union Square. She picked out these black Fuck-me pumps and a pair of flip flops. AND we were off like a prom dress. A few minutes into our first round of postcarding we get called over by an older woman accompanied by two gentlemen. She apparently really loved Jessie Lee's tattoos and wanted to compliment her. Immediately we noticed the lingering stale booze and cigarette scent that permeated their gently "used" clothing. We also noticed a slight slur in our new "friends" speech pattern. Hmmmm. Homeless? Drunk? Crazy? YES! We realized the mistake we made but it was too late. One of the gentlemen incoherently babbled to Jessie Lee and when we turned to leave started screaming "FISHNETS" at the top of his lungs and made a move to follow us. I think he realized he was too intoxicated to actually follow us and sat back down with a thud.

We handed out a bunch more postcards, filmed some "on the scene" promo stuff and jumped in the car. We headed to St. Marks area where we immediately were harassed by crazy bum number two. Matt had left us standing by the car while he procured some quarters for the meter. Crazy bum number two, whom I will to refer as "the gut" from now on, asked us if we spoke Polish, Japanese or Spanish. We said no and walked off to find Matt. When he saw what was happening he tried to usher us down the street like the good protector that he is. We made a bee-line for a bunch of firemen lounging on their fire-engine. We hoped "the gut" would be scared off by the men in uniform. We start chatting with these NYC heroes and offered them some promotional DVDs. We had hoped they would do a stunt on camera or at least do a clip for our DarestarsTV Youtube channel, but alas they declined. They could get into a lot of trouble and possibly get fired for promoting a nudie-website while in uniform. We made some puppy dog eyes but wished them the best and were off on our merry way. I pulled Jessie Lee onto the corner to do another check-in video spot and our lovely bum "the gut" found us and tried SO HARD to be in our video. I managed to keep him out of the shots BUT I did capture him standing next to Jessie Lee with his shirt held up over his head and his big fat gut hanging out!

We started to get discouraged, but didn't let that stop our adventure. After many hoots and hollers, stares and some minor harassment we decided to call it quits on St. Marks. Off we went to Midtown! On the way we got a phone call from Jessie Lee's mom and had a run in with a Ferrari. Fun! Midtown was super busy with tourists and office workers making their way home for the night. We handed out a few more postcards and called it a night ourselves.

I reviewed our footage on the drive home and realized we got some FANTASTIC footage. I am in the process now of making a short Youtube clip that I will post here when it is complete. Make sure you stay tuned for the hilarious adventure we had on the streets of NYC!

Love,
