Back To The Tropics !

Initially, Debbi had taken some persuading when told the location of the proposed new charity calendar shoot. "The Amazon rain forest ? No way ! All those snakes and giant creepy crawlies ? And they'll probably shoot me with a poisoned dart and do goodness knows what to me." Lawrence laughed at this outburst. "Your imagination's running away with you Deb. And for a start, we're not going to the Amazon. That's just what the publicity will say. We're going to Costa Rica to stay at a luxury beach side villa. Then we'll take a trip up river for about an hour into a national park. The native village we're going to is used to tourists. They put on an act for visitors and will do that for our shoot too. But they're not really that isolated at all."

Debbi was still wary of all the shots she would have to have prior to the trip. "I don't want my bum looking like a pin cushion !" But this hurdle was overcome and so it was that she found herself lying face down on her sun bed by the side of the villa's private pool, as Lawrence massaged sun screen into her naked buttocks. The question of tanning had led to another argument. Lawrence did not want any tan lines for the shoot and he was looking for a contrast in skin tone between Debbi and the natives and so did not want her tan to get too deep. Another compromise was reached with the copious amounts of sun block he was applying and with the promise there would be time for tanning after the trip to the village and the resultant photography session.

They were interrupted by the arrival of Sunil and a journalist and film crew from the local TV station. "Sunil !" cried Debbi, jumping up to greet him. "I'd give you big hug but I'm covered in this goo" she laughed, gesturing at the sun screen. Sunil made the introduction to the disconcerted journalist Carlos, who was not expecting a naked English woman and who knew he could not broadcast her like that on the evening news ! Lawrence quickly recognised the problem and drew Debbi aside. "It's good publicity for the charity and for the resort here Deb, but I don't think they're ready to see your tits on prime time !" Debbi laughed. "Can't they just shoot head and shoulders ?" she queried. "Too much work with editing, best go inside and slip on a bikini" he suggested.
