Oh. Em. Gee. Spencer posted this on my Facebook and I pretty much died laughing. This is true on so many levels, especially here in Tallahassee where we (allegedly) have a higher percentage of good-looking girls than many other universities.
Yes, ladies. You are very pretty. You're in great shape, thanks to us hard-working individuals who create your gym experience every day. And yes, maybe you have been approached by local up-and-coming photographers and have done some shoots to help them build their portfolio. However, you are NOT...I repeat, you are NOT a model.
A model gets paid to pose her ass in front of a camera. She is typically signed with an agency, who then helps connect her to companies who want her to model products, clothing, etc. Therefore, I find it HILARIOUS when girls call themselves "models" after doing a shoot. Sweetie, if that were true, we'd all be models. I would, you would, hell, even your mom probably would.
I don't care if you do bikini contests on a regular basis. Did a fashion show at school or (like in the video) at the mall? Don't kid yourself. And I hate to break it to you, but posing on cars with all your nastiness hanging out at some skanky car show doesn't make you a model either.
Let's go over this again. If you make money from doing these things...if that's you CAREER...then yes, you can put the title of "model" next to your name. Good for you. If not, then you're just a girl who likes doing cute little poses in front of nice cameras.
Even if you've been in a local magazine or something...YOU'RE STILL NOT A MODEL! Not to be cocky, but I've been on the cover of Campus Talk in Gainesville and Tampa. Do I call myself a model? No. Because I didn't get paid, and it's not my profession. It's just something I did, and it was fun.
Let's do an overhaul, ladies. Be honest with yourself. Go to that Facebook album titled "modeling" and change the name. Call it "photoshoots" if you want. THAT is honest. "MODELING" is not.
One more thing...anyone can get a Model Mayhem account. Anyone. Your Great Grandma Gertrude probably has one.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble and rip apart your dreams. Actually, I'm not sorry. You're an idiot.
Besos!
