I made certain steps to return to college plus I got scouted  :green:

Apparently I have a good "look"  :orly: They took my name number and a spazzy picture and gave me a business card.

Next step is that the bookers have to like me.  Which won't happen cause I looked like an eejit on the photo  :zoinks:

We are always our own worst critics when we see ourselves in photographs.


I have no idea what an "eejit" could be or might look like, but in the one pic I've seen of you, you look pretty damn good, as "hot babes" go.
Looks should not matter, anyway. They took your photograph, most likely, for identification/record keeping purposes, only.

I got scouted twice today!

Fuck me, I don't know what's going on.  It's not like I look different or anything :P Plus I'd make a shitty model cause I'm not photogenic.  Although the third so called "scouting" was just a pervy guy who was trying to get laid  :green: "Larry Model Management" ffs, like that sounds genuine. 

Still, I feel great and it definitely boosted my self-esteem up loads  :laugh:

Sent another care package to Amber at camp.  Looked at a disc of pictures she's taken over the last couple of months.  She really has quite an artistic eye!   8)

Met up with the girl I went to Arran with.  We were originally going to go swimming, but she changed her mind and decided to go ice skating instead, which she'd never done before, but she wanted to stop after about 30 minutes since her boots were hurting her and she was bored.  Hopefully things will go better next time we meet up.  On the way back (a 90 minute trip), I stopped and got some new figure-hugging t-shirts in size extra small.

14:11 - Peter5930: So, she thought I was your lover and that I was sending you a box full of sex toys, and that you wanted to move to Glasgow to be with me?

I suppose I misunderstood the significance of your inclusion of the word, "plus" in your statement. I also now realise that you are referring to a different kind of scouting. I though that you were still talking in a "return to college" context.

What happened today sounds to me more like one possible "scouting" and one outright "scoping."  Anyway, keep in mind that to be successful as a model, a person does not have to be particularly photogenic or anything at all like normal. They only have to be interesting and not overly unpleasant looking. You are very interesting and more than pleasant to look at. Don't worry about that part.

I believe that the expression, "photogenic,"  is a most horrible term when used to describe how predictably appealing a specific facial structure might appear to be when misrepresented in a two dimensional rendering. The well qualified artists working with live models in two dimensions have an incredible number of tools at their disposal, many of which are quite effective in allowing an artist to create a powerful illusion of that missing third dimension and implying missing dimensional information well beyond illusion OR reality in a flat art medium.

Remember, you can not asses your "looks"  in a photograph by the same flipped-around-backwards standard you are accustomed to seeing when you look in a mirror.  Might work if your face was one hundred per cent perfectly symmetrical to the finest detail, but then you would not be human.

Be careful of any modeling agent who does not present you with a portfolio of working models they have represented in the past.


Still, I feel great and it definitely boosted my self-esteem up loads  :laugh:

This is good to see!

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Well, as I said, they called me back and want me to model for them.  They are legit and all cause I checked and googled them and stuff.

There are people though who photograph really well but obviously anyone can look decent with the right lights and Photoshop  :zoinks:

Get it checked to make sure it's healing properly and you don't have a dry socket.  :(  Hope you feel better.

The molar had a root canal for many years, so there might be some infection or change in the structure of the bone, though it looked perfectly OK on X-ray...

It could take some time to heal. What did the dentist say about it?

She said it looked good. There might be a small infection there but not visible on X-ray.
