Shooting in a lynwood garage

A conversation with a freelance producer and Art Director

So today I wore a sweater over a white undershirt. It gets hot in the office space they have me in so I start to peel off my sweater. Just then the new slightly annoying producer walks in, sweater only half off.

Blonde freelance producer: Whoa.

Me: Huh?

BFP: Um, ch---, why are you so dark?

Me: I'm filipino that how we are.

BFP: No, but you're really dark.

My art directer walks in.

AD: Chiaow! What are you showing off, ch---?

Me: It gets hot in here! And this sweater is chaffing.

AD: You're really dark.

Me: You wont believe this, but my pants are chaffing too.

true...cept for that last part

Juan Carlos part II

So I was hit on. Hit on by a gay.

I'm in the bay area visiting my family and friends. A couple days ago, my siblings and i go into Villains on Haight to do some shopping. This creepy asian dude with dark glasses and high hair is looking at me. And I mean, looking HARD. I'm thinkin, uh oh maybe he's a narc and thinks I stole something. I DO look, ya know, THUG. He crosses my path a few times very deliberately, each time with an intensity I can feel through his glasses. And I swear I felt the back of his hand graze my muscular thighs as he squeezes by me though one of the aisles. Im thinking Okay Okay... maybe he's checking for stolen "goods". But my jeans are quite fitting, so as to highlight my thighs, my one beauty. As I make my way towards the dressing room he stops me.

Creepy Asian Dude: (almost whisper soft) Hey how's it goin.

Me: (nervous) Hey man.

CAD: You go to SF State?

Me: Oh. Nah man.

CAD: Oh cause you look familiar

Me: Oh. Yea I didn't go there.

Me: Um. nah, man.

Me: I'm a designer. I--

CAD: Fashion!?

Me: Nah, I do graphic design.

CAD: Oh...hmm...You gotta a website?

Me: Nope.
