My short career in modeling
There are a couple guys in the tech world who are models, have been models, or could be models. A friend said that the combination of tall, dark, handsome and geeky was “totally unfair” to us. (I assume she meant to us guys, but I suppose it could go for girls also—maybe for them it’s like some five year old kid pushing down on all the attraction buttons at once.)
It happened at a party that one of these model-geeks was saying, “The first thing they taught us in modeling class…”
At that moment, I almost said, “The first thing they taught me in modeling class is…” *raises hand high above head* “…you have to be this tall to get in.”
Luckily, I managed to hold back that thought—I wouldn’t want to mess with model-geek’s game.
And thus ended my short career in modeling.
Emphasis on short.
