Back in Studio B, Schneider met his model for the day, stunning brunette Cara Zavaleta, Miss November 2004 and a star of MTV's Road Rules. The two discussed wardrobe options and decided that Zavaleta should wear a vintage Army shirt that Schneider just happened to have brought along. The set was a stately library with a leather couch and chairs, and in Schneider's mind, his model would look perfect curled up on the couch reading in what looked like her man's worn-in, comfy top.
Once on the set, Schneider was in complete control. With a confident ease, he directed his model into different sexy positions, had the lighting moved about, asked for make-up and hair to be retouched and examined Polaroids like a pro. That's not to say his comic side wasn't on display. At one point, after taking a particularly sexy shot of Zavaleta with her nose deep in a leather-bound book, he broke up the crew, cracking, "Damn, you make me want to read!"
The session lasted about three hours and Schneider snapped close to 400 frames. Once the shoot was a wrap, he hopped on the set's leather couch and posed for a series of pictures with his model. Finally unable to hold back any longer, Schneider's dog Oscar trotted across the room and joined his master on the couch.
"Good boy," Schneider said, surveying the scene on the couch. "This is exactly what you're supposed to do -- get me chicks."
