why Why WHY!!! Male Models


why Why WHY...on wednesday i started fitting models for a Fashion Show, i'm particapating in, this Saturday here in ATL.  the models where selected by the organizers of the show.  1.it always seems to me that male models selected for (most) group fashion shows are an after thought.  2.the show organizers are always scarbling to find guys who will walk in the show for free (this always results in a mix bag of talent...mostly not that good).  3.the models are usually experts on how the designers should dress/style them (yet they can't walk the runway without coming off like a student from modelling #101).  4.sometimes the models bring someone along with them (this is a job...do you bring people to work/ your 9-5 with you? and whats up w/them having attitude when you ask them to have a sit while you do the fitting?).  5.why does any type, height and shape, w/bad skin, crazy/dated hair styles or color, always want to model?  6.do male models every work at their craft (walking/posing)?  7.why can't male models comprehen what you need them to do on the runway?  8.whats up with the homophobic energy some of the guys give off? (don't flatter yourself...some male designers take what they do seriously).  why Why WHY!!!!

(im showing a capsule collection "resort 2010") (i'll post some photos, frm the shoot, as soon as i get them back frm the photographer.)  NewsFlash...i've only been in Atlanta 3 weeks, and i've already connected with more people and customers then i was able to do in Miami (in 12 months of living there).  ATL is embracing me with open arms...i am thankful and blessed.
