Watch out for Sam

[Cross-posted in Lucire] We’re preparing to shoot Samantha Powell, Miss Universe New Zealand 2008, on Tuesday. Photographer Doug Rimington is flying in from Sydney tonight and I collect him at the airport in a BMW 120i Cabriolet that the company has lent to me; and the Tissot Fabulous Garden watch has arrived, delivered personally by Griffiths McKay & Buckleigh’s Lynette Kopu. Our one is prettier than the one featured in Lucire this month: it has a gold face, and the watch is nicer in the metal, but the price is the same (NZ$775). No word from the press person at an Auckland label whom I called last week, so it looks like Starfish (our first choice) will be supplying both dresses for Sam.
Not that I know what the photos will look like, but there is a good chance the next New Zealand-edition cover will be shot by a Kiwi.
