As always, the discussion started over a couple of drinks...how will this image broadcast the show's appropriate themes, how will it intrigue our audience, etc.  Photographer Matt McKee, Divine Publicity Manager Liz Laneri, Artistic Associate Elissa Jordan and I were a bit stumped at first on this one for "Crimes," going back and forth between two concepts - funky, dark collage or photo based.  We made our decision after meeting #2 and a little research on Chekhov's Three Sisters.  The shoot was scheduled, and we invited the crew to Matt McKee's wonderland of a studio to capture our image.  Maureen Festa costumed the Magrath sisters (played by Amanda Kelly, Brooke Casanova, and Cheryl Bellows) in their 70s garb; Make-Up/Hair Designer Catherine Moniz expertly slapped on blue eye shadow and teased up Babe's blond hair while Matt, Liz, and I began playing with layout - background, font style, tag line, color, etc.  The postcard image was coming to life then and there-  the studio was alive with magic and collective brilliance.  We began the shoot.  The girls were posed, and Matt did his thing, while I helped the Magrath sisters battle that threatening "storm," raging overhead.  All of this, too, with one pink gun and a bottle of Beam.  It was an awesome night, and I am so proud of what we captured.

What a great (and seamless) photo shoot! Matt is so great to work with and it obviously helped with three fabulous actresses/models from the show!
