The fitness models come to the studio for the "Active Lives" Magazine shoot.

The publisher behind "Active Lives" Magazine made some changes earlier in the week, while you got the studio ready for the photo session. It was no longer just two women--Danica Poulianne & Rachelle Howard--that the publisher had mentioned a few weeks back. You're also going to see the couple of Ken & Lindsey Bradley, whom you're not as familiar with, as you are with Danica & Rachelle. With a little help from a local fitness club, you managed to borrow some of their extra equipment--primarily weights, jump ropes, a weightlifting bench, and a big striking bag. You had to get Shannon's help to hang the striking bag, and put some extra white screens up in the studio area. You tested all the lighting, & the positioning of umbrellas, to help disperse the light evenly.

So now it's the day of the photo session, and you finish making the final preparations, just as the fitness models arrive. With Shannon's guidance, they arrive at the studio area, with the ladies giving you a hug, and you do a fist-pump with Ken. Much like the cosplayers or the lingerie models, the ladies are quite diverse in body shape & size.

Danica Poulianne is about 5'9", with a full mop of brown hair, that goes down to her shoulders. Her light brown eyes, and full lips reflect her full Italian heritage, although she is a natural-born U.S. Citizen, based in New York. She's a fairly petite, but very athletic woman, with small, perky breasts, covered by a black sport bra, and a neon green tank top. Her tight, black gym shorts goes down to her knees, and you can see her neon green socks over her white training shoes.

Rachelle Howard sports that "California girl" look. Also at 5'9", she is a natural blonde, with her hair going down to mid-back. Her light blue eyes look to you, as she gives you a smile. Her sun-bronzed skin leaves nothing to the imagination, with hints of her toned muscles showing between her hot pink sports bra & short, tight gym shorts. Despite all of her fitness work, she still has a pretty big breast size, complete with a wonderful butt, and shapely legs that are definitely toned & muscular. A few tattoo's of thorny roses don her right wrist, & left arm; and you can see the tattoo of Red Sonja on her right ankle, above her white socks & blue training shoes.

Ken & Lindsey are African-Americans, no shorter than 5'11", and both of them are well muscled, to go with their big frames. Lindsey has short hair, while Ken has shaved his head. Lindsey has a clothing style similar to Danica, except her colors are consistent with that of her favorite NFL team, the Chicago Bears. Ken also sports those colors with his shorts--navy blue with orange stripes on the sides.

You watch as they put their bags & purses down at a safe spot, as well as containers full of water. Shannon watches intently, wondering if she can get some tips from the models, after the photo session. But alas, she walks back to the front desk, to continue her duty.

"How you've been, man?" Ken asks you, as the ladies start doing some stretches.

"I've been good, Ken." You tell him. "It took me awhile to recover from a weekend of photo shooting outside the studio, and I'm still going through those photos. How's life in Chi-town?"

"Good man, real good." Ken tells you. "Lindsey & I bought some new winter gear last week, so that we don't have any problems freezing in the winter cold, when we do our runs."

"Got any plans for tonight, after the photo session, Alex?" Rachelle asks you.

"None, so far." You tell her.

"We might go catch that MMA PPV later tonight, in one of the sports bars." Ken tells you. "Maybe you'd like to join us?"

"I'll think about it, Ken." You tell him. "Shall we get ready to do the photo shooting?"

"You bet!" Ken tells you.
