  Nisa,
  Nat­u­rally, I did — you all want to see your pretty, pretty faces, dontcha?

  P’tah

  Mod­els are over­rated … at least the ones I’ve met and known.

  Well, brother, at least you’ve met mod­els, right? The clos­est I’ve come is Nisa’s housemate’s girl­friend who is a pho­tog­ra­pher but could eas­ily be in front of the cam­era as well.

  Now that I men­tioned it, I remem­ber hear­ing hor­ror sto­ries from her about her mod­els too, so maybe you’re right la.

  P.S. At first I thought you said “Petai” and not P’tah (Mang­lish ver­sion of Pshaww! issit?) — so long since I’ve had good petai. Yum-yum.

  uhmmm … I was going for Klin­gon .. but nev­er­mind

  Inci­den­tally P’tah is the divine father and ruler of the celes­tials heav­ens — and he sent down his son Ra to the peo­ple of Egypt.

  ah well .…

  But yeh, some are good mod­els, some aren’t.
  Like reg­u­lar peo­ple just bet­ter look­ing and since looks are sec­ondary to char­ac­ter, i don’t give a fly­ing fig
  Male mod­els can be a worser lot than the girls too.
  Bah, I dis­liked my Tal­ent search­ing days.

  Tal­ent search­ing, eh? So what did you do, walk around shop­ping cen­tres scout­ing for above-average look­ing peo­ple? Not to be sar­cas­tic or any­thing, but that seems to be what all these mod­els are say­ing in inter­views when asked how they got their start.

  So cliché, but there you go.

  Darn, the spot looks worst on pho­tos. Ruin my oth­er­wise pho­to­genic, beau­tific self. *snorts*.

  My dear, I did think of pho­to­shop­ping it out, but then orang sure tanya, kan? Bet­ter leave it on — and when they do ask about you, I’ll just say you got Gorbachev-ed…

  Some mod­els get asked to come in for head shots .…
  then their files stay in the the folder for a num­ber of days or weeks … or depends, some­times imme­di­ately, the pro­duc­tion needed some­one NOW.

  So its pretty com­mon to get “picked up from the street”. But the con­no­ta­tions aren’t pretty.

  And most often the real­ity is that you hap­pen to be the clos­est and most convenient.

  but for many, all it took was that first “big” break.

  There are SOME who send their head­ships here and there and really put in the effort to become a model.
  Those … few and far between.

  Plus it sounds so much bet­ter (and naru­tal– as if born to the art, rather than crafted for it) — to say …
  “i was just walk­ing along and sud­denly, they assaulted me with offers for my beauty …
  ”

  bla ..
  bla ..

  blah .…

  That’s really insider insight, G. I guess it looks very glam­ourous from the out­side, but at the end of the day, there’s quite a bit of wait­ing and hard work, as with any other industry/field of work.

  Wait­ing for the day I’m walk­ing along and sud­denly, some­one assaults me with offers for my, uhm, some­thing lah. No beauty still got tal­ent, right?

  who was it that said tal­ent only made up 10 per­cent of anyone’s suc­cess story?

  I always thought it was one of those Anonymous-type quotes. But so true. I’m the lazi­est per­son I know. Which explains why I’m not Don­ald Trump. (Or bet­ter yet, Neil Gaiman or Dave McK­ean.)

  I’m torn between shal­low dreams of being like Devine Brown, hav­ing the nasty with as celebrity and get­ting lotsa tabloidy money …

  or acu­tally con­tribut­ing to the cre­ative world with some indeli­ble mark of genius of brilliance.

  Or just find some­one to curl up into on a cold night under the sheets …

  they’re all equally as hard to do for me

  G, my man, ya gotta go to the States or UK for that. Doubt local tabloids as well-moneyed. I think #3 is prob­a­bly the most likely and health­i­est of the bunch…

  “In Bed with Lydia” — that’s what you mean, yes? Now you just have to wait for me to fin­ish the piece to find out just who’s in bed with her, heh heh heh.
