Modeling Opportunity…Intercepted!!!

After having to deal with watching the Patriots have one of the worst beats I’ve ever seen, albeit by a team I do think should’ve given us a good fight (but we f&$#*in laid down and took it like a b!+$# in the 4th quarter!), I went online to surf the web and see if anything could take my mind off of the debacle I had just been privy to. Well, be careful what you wish for, right?

Some woman who I never even met and lives in Texas or something, and her name is Venus (not that there’s anything wrong with being from Texas and/or being names Venus) had contacted me almost 2 years ago regarding modeling work. She told me that was representing people out in L.A., even though she was in Texas. I signed a contract saying I was not represented solely by her, but that if she did get me work, she’d get her 15%. Well, she sent me on ONE AUDITION in the past 2 years, and it was at the very beginning of our contract signing, and it was an open call (anyone could’ve walked in off the street if they knew about it) for some stupid ass thing that I was sooooo not right for (they were looking for a girl that loves to snowboard; for those who don’t know me, I once tried snowboarding at a golf course in Swampscott, MA and could barely stay upright for more than 5 seconds). Anyway, the only other contact I had with her over the years, was Venus trying to get me to buy make-up, because she had started some make-up line, to which I politely declined.

Now, this weekend, years later, after she didn’t do s#!+ for me and after watching the Pats suck it up hard, she IM-ed me and told me I should join her modeling website. She said it would make it easier for her to send me out. Although I already knew the answer, I asked if it had a fee. To my shock and surprise (not really), it did. I told her I did not feel it was a good idea, seeing as she had yet to get me work.

And get this! The b!+$# had the balls to tell me I was being nasty and rude!!!! I was immediately filled with rage, and thank goodness for her we were IM-ing and sitting half-a-country away from one another, or I might have reached out and knocked her upside the head. So yeah, we had some words. I think I remained professional, and then I immediately deleted her from my buddy list — before she could delete me :)

Wooh. Thanks for letting me vent. I needed that. Now if I only had a cure for the big empty hole in my heart I feel for the Pats’ big letdown on Sunday. Ugh.

    FYI - for the currently on hiatus TSOA articles - I write my own titles

    A lesson for Jess and Sam, neither of whom write their titles. C’mon ladies!!
