When I came across the notice in the newspaper announcing that GQ was seeking a few good men, old memories were wrestled up from the past.
In my twenties, I modelled to supplement my income for local department stores, product shots, and exclusive clients like American Express.
My heart goes out to the hopefuls...it's not easy to manipulate a full-fledged career in the competitive, high-stakes world of high fashion, runway shows, and prints ads - by any stretch of the imagination.
Only a handful of focused models, with a modicum of good luck, will ever attain heady superstar status.
For starters, a male model must have the prevailing "look".
And, a stick-to-it doggedness, to land at the top of the heap.
GQ notes that they are embarking on a Nationwide search for five men who can best be described as sexy, smart, stylish, sophisticated, and socially aware.
All in one package!
Gee, they don't ask for much, do they?
In the old days, I just had to stand there and allow myself to be artfully propped up this way 'n that, have a hemline tucked up, or waistline cinched in.
And, look pretty. That was about it.
Today, the clients are so much more demanding.
Pretty soon, they'll be asking for first born...
If you're a fella with the goods, then go for it!
