I suppose it's not particularly controversial to suggest that Ariel has fantastic legs and a world-class arse.
She does after all travel the globe being hired to show those assets off! And few things highlight them as well
as a scandalously short skater skirt! I do love how this set looks - and the crotch rope under the skirt was
a nice touch, I thought.
It does have somewhat bitter-sweet memories for us though. It was about this point on our
trip to Ireland that I finally faced up to the fact that I'd stupidly burned myself out with too many hours working
less and less efficiently.
We didn't shoot very many sets in this location as a result, despite it being very
pretty and easy to shoot in. At the time I didn't know if I'd ever want to look at the sets ever again... what
strikes me looking back at it a year or so on is that we were still doing really good stuff! It's just that I couldn't
see it, I'd taken too much out of the tank and not letting re-fill.
As you can tell from the fact that the website is still here and still hasn't missed a single update in its
19 years online, I got through it - although I still need to watch myself very carefully and not take on too many
shoots or give in to the temptation to work until midnight while Ariel is away. The tank is filling up. The recent
changes to the site update schedule to acknowledge that the world has moved towards wanting more 20-30 minute videos
and fewer short videos or stills sets should ensure that it continues to refill and provide much more inspiration and
ideas for decades to come!
