So me and Dan, the red-headed white devil, are at the Chicago place for lunch. I'm cackling away as usual and this man and woman come up to me.
'We noticed you from far away, and you've got a great smile. Have you ever modeled before?'
'Um, yes, I've modeled before, but nothing big.' (of course, I'm referring to the PSA fashion shows during my college days - it's nothing to brag about)
'Well, you've got the look we're looking for, and we've got an open call tonight for models. I'd love for you to come on by. We'll take a couple shots of you, it'll be a lot of fun. We're a legitimate group. You know the guy that started the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync? Ron Perlman? He owns our company. If we choose you, you're guaranteed to get work....' blah blah blah...
So I listen. And I kinda fade away for a little, visions of runway shows and photo shoots of the Caribbean floating in my head. OK. HELL NO. Not my scene. But I give her my information anyway. And she schedules me for a shoot tonight at 6:30. No chance I'm going to make it all the way from Downtown to Oakbrook in that time. Oh well. It wouldn't have worked out anyway. I've got a zit on my nose. Not too bad, just on the side. Maybe next time. But it was SO cool that they picked me out. I was discovered! Then again, I'm pretty sure that half the people in Chicago place were 'discovered'.
If you're looking to be 'the next big thing', check out Trans Continental Talent. If this whole thing was totally legit and I would have made millions of dollars being an international super model, I'm going to kick myself in the head. But oh well. Maybe I'll contact them after all the wedding stuff is done. Or maybe I'll pimp out my kids to them. Or my sisters. I mean, I pimp them out to everyone else already!

Posted by: Yano on March 11, 2003 05:59 AMsisterfriend, i ain't hooked up with no one so i don't know who you're talkin about.
;)
Posted by: fata on March 11, 2003 02:58 PMYou sure it's not one of those import model things? Maybe you can sport in front of your Accord and possibly get a shot at having you and your car in Fast In The Furious 3. :P
Posted by: Mike on March 11, 2003 04:23 PMHookup? What hookup? I know nothing of any hookups!!!
Posted by: Claudine on March 11, 2003 10:58 PMred. headed. white. devil.
without me, little one, you wouldn't be making me puke with the sugary sweetness of your blog.
Posted by: Yano on March 11, 2003 11:24 PMLOL hey, don't EVER get involved with Lou a.k.a. "fat bastard" Pearlman and his trans continental crap, all he's in the "business" for is the money, and he's screw you over! (that's what he did with the Backstreet Boys and nsync, AND with all the other acts he's worked with, they've ALL sued Lou because he screwed that over and took all their rightyfully deserved money!) sorry for the little rant LOL
you said you wouldn't have taken their offer anyways heh heh
PEACE OUT!
