I went out for drinks tonight... one turns into two, turns into six... and we picked up these two girls at O'Reiley's on Green Street. Buddy says to the girls "he's a very accomplished photographer, he's done shoots for high profile customers such as BMW, in fact they shut down a tunnel in Germany for him to do a shoot for them". Now I'm sitting there completely stunned, because I don't come up with elaborate lies about what I do for a living... I'll usually just change the subject, or say I do portraits.

So it made me turn red, I started laughing, and I just looked at these girls with this stupid smirk on my face, because I sure as hell didn't know what to say. I've never even been to Germany, and I'm a fucking porn photographer... I couldn't lie if it was going to save my life.

Eventually I spilled the beans ( about 5 hours later ) that I did porn for a living, and the girls said it was cool. Except my buddy was all embarassed...

So what would you do? Protect your friend's embarassment about your involvment in the porn industry, and spew elaborate blatent lies that just sound silly? Or tell the dirty secret?
