tammy . 49 years old / tulsa . oklahoma
i've been on the lookout for a little prop for a new project i've been mulling over. i wanted to find those masks that are made up of the dark glasses, a funny nose, and bushy eyelashes. do you what i am talking about? well... zach told me he knew of a magic tricks and gags store called "top hat", so we made our way over there to see if they had what i was looking for.
we walked into the store, greeted first by a large chicken suit on display, and then by a jolly woman who asked if we needed anything in particular. i told her what i was looking for and she showed me a couple of boxes full of the exact thing and even helped sort through them to find a good pair. after making a selection that i was happy with, we looked around the store. it was the kind of place that could steal hours if one is not careful, so we made a quick pass through and were distracted only momentarily by a pair of fake breasts that i felt inclined to try on.
as i was paying the jolly woman for the glasses, i told her about my project and asked her to be today's stranger. she agreed right away and despite the many signs advising against it, we took the photographs inside the store. it turns out that tammy only works at top hat once in a while and finds herself gainfully employed by one of the wealthiest men in the country. she works for an oil and gas company as an engineering technician. she said her boss was a very good man and she seemed to be content with her job.
tammy was very nice. she seemed a little uncomfortable in front of the camera, but there was a lot going on in the store with little children running around and other customers perusing. i would have liked to set up a creative shot with props and tricks and gags but it didn't seem like we had that kind of time.
at any rate, thank you so much for your time, tammy!
