As Lizzie and Phil disappeared out of the room Carrie turned to the four guys left in the group facing her and smiled. Andy, the only one she knew, took charge and asked her to sit down, exactly as Phil had asked Lizzie to do although Carrie had not witnessed what had happened with Lizzie. The main difference between what was happening to her and what had happened to Lizzie was that all of the photographers were much closer to her than they had been to her friend.
Over time she had become used to first Phil and then Phil and Andy both pointing camera’s at her but she was now facing four cameras, three of them wielded by men whose names she didn’t even know. The smile stayed on her face but inside she was shaking with apprehension.
Andy was taking charge and soon the quick fire patter was working on her and she was able to relax into the poses he demanded.
“Ok Carrie, please relax and smile at me. Good. Now I want you to look at each of the cameras in turn and give a nice big smile. You are doing very well sweetie. Now slowly cross your legs at the ankles. Excellent. Now stretch your legs out in front of you and at the same time lean back a little. Good. Now slowly slide the top leg up a bit. Good. Keep it going. Keep smiling, come on Carrie, you know how to do this, please keep smiling. Now when the ankle reaches the knee reach down with the hand on that side and grasp the shoe as if to steady it. Good girl.”
The simple instructions from Andy delivered in such a similar way as those she was used to from Phil worked their magic and Carrie slowly relaxed. Lizzie had been able to put the other guys out of her mind because they were behind the lights, in the shadows but they were much closer to Carrie.
“Now slide the lower leg in towards you and lean forward. Good.”
This was of course the manoeuvre she had done several times before and was fully aware that it would expose a large slice of naked thigh to the cameras on that side of her. The lean forwards of course exposed a view down her blouse.
“You are doing really well there Carrie, now please stand up and turn around and face the couch. Good girl, now shuffle your feet in toward the couch until your knees are touching it. Now spread your legs apart, wider, come on wider still. Good. Now look back over your shoulder at us. Smile. Good girl, now lean slowly forward and grasp the top of the couch back for balance. Good.”
Again, this position was forcing the back of the skirt up and showing off more leg for the cameras. She sensed that several of the guys were crouching down to shoot pictures straight up her skirt. Although it wasn’t the type of overly short mini skirt she had been wearing for most shoots she was very aware that the floor level position the men had taken was providing a very good view up her stretched out legs.
“Stand up straight again please and turn and face us. Please Carrie, remember to smile more. It’s not so bad is it?”
She summoned up her reserves and painted the smile back on her face and waited for the next instruction from Andy.
“Ok, guys you have seen how this works so why doesn’t one of you take over now? Right? You’re the volunteer then, all yours.”
