I had to resurrect this thread to share my weirdest request to date. I was at a dinner party where I only knew the hosts. We were sitting at the table eating an elegant dinner when the subject of my being a portrait artist came up. A woman across the table got all excited and said she has wanted a particular portrait done of her daughter for a long time. "She's naked, lying on a white fur rug, definately with her adorable bum in plain view." Knoiwing she was way too old to have a baby, I envisioned a photograph of a baby she had in mind for reference until she inroduced me to her daughter sitting next to her, fifty years old. "Of course I would like her to lose a few pounds before she poses for you". This mother daughter duo shook me up!
