Fashion Is Fun

A Model Morning

dior boys.jpgBritt rode the subway to work this morning, sandwiched in the middle of six strapping male models. The three from England, signed to DNA, ran into a group of three from New York, signed to Red (of course they all knew each other). They entertained her from Bedford Ave to Union Sq. with this conversation that’s too good not to share:

Model 1: Hey dude! How’s it goin’ man?

Model 2:
Sweet man. I just got back from Japan.

Model 1:
Sick! How was it?

Model 2:
So sweet dude. I mean Japan’s awesome. You just drink all night and shoot all day. I mean, no one cares if you show up drunk as long as you’re on time. It’s all about being on time there.

Model 3:
Did you see the new Japanese Dazed?

Model 4:
Yeah man! We’re in it, fucking blitzed out of our minds. Can you tell? That shoot was amazing.

Model 3: Yeah dude, it’s sick. The only good magazine over there. They launched Vogue Hommes last week but they put Ash on the cover!

Model 5: Ash and Josh, dude. They’re everywhere. I was back in London and everywhere you look in the Tube it’s Josh in the Levi’s campaign. I mean, it’s like, really?

That Levi's campaign brightens up any tube journey. They need to never take those posters down.

Wow....glamourizing the use of alcohol and drugs really makes these guys cool. I wish I could be a model....NOT

oh please... everyone stop being so critical of them... they're probably just young guys who want to mix some fun (alcohol and going out) with their work. they're models, not physicians or any other sort of exemplary benefactors. as long as they got their job done (looking into a camera and being pretty), who cares if they go out and booze?

Agreed @guest 12:36. That's what I would do if I were modeling in Japan!

This is hilarious. And it doesn't make any party involved stupid, it's just a subway conversation.

Aw man, I was really hoping the convo would be more Zoolander like.

Meekus: It's like, ex-squeeze me, but have you ever heard of styling gel?
Brint: I'm sure Hansel's heard of styling gel, he's a male model.
Meekus: Uh, earth to Brint, I was making a joke.
Brint: Uh, Earth to Meekus, duh, okay I knew that!
Meekus: Uh earth to Brint, I'm not so sure you did cuz you were all 'well I'm sure he's heard of styling gel' like you *didn’t* know it was a joke!
Brint: I knew it was a joke Meekus, I just didn't get it right away!

:P

this reminds me of an evening (many years ago, shortly after i moved to the city) spent partying with a female friend and two male models we had randomly met somewhere along the way...

at the end of the night we spilled out of a west village hotspot onto 6th avenue...my friend and i were still drunk on vodka tonics, new york, and the excitement of the possibilities it presented. as we took in the rising sun, walking south towards houston, she exclaimed "it's so beautiful!!"

suddenly, one of the (dutch?) male models perked up, intrigued:

"WHO'S so beautiful?? I'M so beautiful??"

priceless ; )

i wonder who these models were, especially the red guys. in any case, they're absolutely no different than any other college-aged guys!
