Whatcha reckon?

So I might never be an umbrella girl or a biker model due to my additions from my pregnancies.

I could sport biker gear in magazines, or be in the local warehouse catalogue, maybe even become a weather girl....

But should I pay $350 to do a modelling course and become a model?

I've been offered help with my portfolio ...

Anyone been a model before?

Do I have to be a ditsy blonde to become one?

Is this a transparent fishing exercise to find out whether we think you're hot or not?

Or are you asking for advice as to the goodness of modelling as a career?

I reckon it'd be a bit of a crap job. You'd have to work with a bunch of annoying, self-obsessed, overly-precious tarts and gits.

And you'd have to grab as much money as you could within several years, before you didn't fit any clients' profiles anymore due to being old and stuff, after which, well, what do you do then?

But mebbe the pay and easy hours would make up for all that, I dunno...

If you can get decent gigs, it's probably the perfect job to have while studying. Be worth a shot.

We've several models who've worked here, and at the moment there's two.

Damned skinny things they are - no meat on em at all. Not like real women...

Ditzy? No.
Both of them are analyst/programmers, and one has two uni degrees, the latest with A+ passes.
But I still don't reckon her....

Straight up.

Go to any Suzuki dealer and ask for a GSX250 brochure. Who the hell else could they find with such stunning dress sense?

*sigh*

Just as I posted this thread, I thought some people might take it the wrong way.
No I'm not fishing. I think I look average and noone can tell me different. But I have had an offer for some help, I have had people come up to me in the street and I have been given cards (wish I kept them now).

So I thought, what the hell, could be fun. Looks like it'd be expensive tho. Just wondering if it would be worth it tho. Most of the times I've modelled, it's been voluntary for friends.

I know this sounds all like do you think I'm pretty, look at me look at me, but it's not. I seriously want to know how much cost it's going to be for a try. I think it'd be cool to be sprawled over the latest R1

...

I'd have to grow my hair and do a bit of yoga first tho

In appropriate attire, naturally.

I'm sure there are generously-minded R1 owners on the forum who would donate their bike and time to such a noble cause.

No disrespect, but the way you became a model is not really the same thing I'm asking for. They wanted pictures of a bike and someone actually riding it. The hot chicks you get photo'd with are the kind I'm talking about. Ask one of them next time
