Default Girl Scout Slumber Party??

Opinions wanted:

I've been asked to shoot a girl-scout slumber party, where 100 girls will be taking the runway after being dolled-up in a fun sort of way.

2 Things immediately come to mind;
1. this is totally not my kind of photography, and would be a new experience
2. this could be a good money-maker and could maybe pay for that 3GB of RAM
that I'm wanting for my PC or a new lens, etc.

Anybody ever done something like this? I normally do outdoor portraits for families, children and HS Senior, and weddings. This would be a new venture. It would also be 100 primary age girls running around late at night. My first instinct is to politely decline, but I thought I'd ask around first.

thanks,

My first instinct would be a Pythonesque "Run Away! Run Away!'

...good, I don't feel like such a chicken then for having the same instinct... Weddings seem like nothing compared to the thought of a 100-girl slumber party!

What might you charge for this event? ...Or do you have a website with some samples/prices I can direct them to?

thanks,

I'm more than willing to work something out...I am a very reasonable person. I sent you an email.
