Last year I received a request from the Washington Ballet to use my Bus in a photo shoot. Long story, but I finally see the picture on their web page. You have to wait for the shot to scroll through. I'm told the picture will be in a book too.

The guys in the picture are supposed to be portraying the Beatles.

I've already heard all the jokes, so spare me please. :)

Haha, I'll post some pics after work of my 69 westy being used as a dressing room for the Bay Area Houston Ballet and Theater. Thought I was the only bus that was involved in the arts :)

Cool Photo, but the Beatles were split up before your bus was manufactured.
Well, it is Beatlemania so who really cares.

Wish I could jump like that! :lol: :lol:

Nope, I moved to South Carolina at the end of July.

BTW, I had no clue that the Bus was going to be used in a Beatles themed picture. I was just asked by the Ballet to use the Bus and I quickly said yes. I was hoping for some cute Ballerinas in the picture and not the Ballerdudes. I think the pic is kind of cool though.

Oh, the two guys in front were using mini-trampolines to jump that high. They are still great athletes though.

Didn't they send you a photo of it they should of it is a neat photo.

That's a cool bus - but GAWD, I hate that nonsensical ballet crap.

Looks just like my bus. Cool to get a request like that, even if it is for a bunch of prancing morons.

can i bleach my eyes now. nice bus. yeah they're athletes but at least put chicks in the pic.

Thu Oct 29, 2009 5:27 pm

Chicks....where are the boobs :lol:

That happened to me, too. A model in Santa Fe advertised on craigslist for an old bus to use in a photoshoot. In the end, her photographer, who was to come from Los Angeles, flaked out. I'd post a URL to her portfolio web site, but it's just too much for a family-oriented web site like this.

I was just notified this afternoon that the picture is in the mail. It took them over a year to get it done, but better late than never. Coincidently, I also received the book in the mail today. The picture of my Bus takes up two pages. I'll post a picture of the picture tomorrow.

I'm not sure I'd call them prancing morons. A couple of them are pretty buff dudes, talented in what they do, and athletic as hell.

Hanging around cute ballerinas is something I wouldn't mind doing.
