We needed a few things from the store, so I stopped by Wal-Mart on my way home from class today. I’m still in my gym clothes, all sweaty from working out, but I figured I was safe going to Wal-Mart. I mean, really, who goes to Wal-Mart in the middle of a weekday looking to be noticed?
So there I am, minding my own business somewhere between the Rice-A-Roni and the Chef Boyardee when I hear this voice calling me. I turn around to see this lady chasing me down the aisle saying, “Excuse me, Miss?” What does this lady want? I still have my keys so what could it be? She finally gets up to me and apologizes for bothering me while I’m shopping. “No problem,” I say. What she says next totally blows me away:
“I’m in charge of finding new models for a Dallas modeling agency. Would you be interested in modeling for us?”
She probably thinks I’m a little slow-witted because I just stood there for a second, stunned. I guess she could tell I was confused because she went on to explain that she noticed me walking down the aisle and just had to talk to me.
Crazy, huh? If a guy had chased me down and said that, I probably wouldn’t believe him. I gave her my phone number though. She said she would call me in a few days. I guess we’ll see what happens. I’m still not really sure how I feel about it. Maybe she just didn’t have her contacts in.
That’ll teach me about trying to hide in Wal-Mart.

Tarss - But I’m all fixed up in the pictures :p At Wal-Mart, I was in sweats and a Tshirt, with my hair in a ponytail! And I don’t think we need to worry about me being rich and famous. :p
Beck - If I notice a sudden increase in the number of guys shopping at Wal-Mart during the day, I will know why
Jac - You have to BE here for me to hook you up :p Yeah, yeah. Just because you won the poll doesn’t make you right!

Like what I see of your blog and have decided to leave a Gazoo for those that actually read your comments and belong to Blogazoo.

As a former model, I can tell you that agents are trained to see beyong the makeup and hairdos. As a matter of fact, for most auditions, you are required to go bare faced and hair in nothing more than a poneytail.
What can I say other than, when you got it, you got it!

Michael - Thanks for the Gazoo! I hope members find it
Actressdancer - I guess that never occured to me. I just know I didn’t feel all that attractive! She’ll probably tell me she’s not interested when she finds out I am 27. Then again, Who knows - maybe she thinks that I have it

Well, when you’re a model, how old you are is a lot less important than how old you look. Not to mention that there is a place for “older” models, as well.. they are called Elegance Models. A model under 5′ 6″ is a Petite model and anyone in a double digit size is a Plus Size model. My former agent was all three, a Petite Plus Size Elegance Model. She used to joke that in laymen’s terms that meant she was short, fat, and old.
Concidering that this woman’s whole function in the work place is to scout models, and that Dallas has no shortage of people from which to choose, I’d say that, without a doubt, girl, you got it!
