Step aside and talk to the chins, pimples, and skin-rash sister, hardest working "Before" model in the business, coming through!

I would never join any club that would have me as a member.

I couldn't imagine any place that would be more fun to go... hanging out with four coked-out entitled twenty-somethings, with IQs that average 85, having a fabulously interesting discussion whilst they all share a grape for lunch.

The Model Lounge.

Not to be confused with the Model Cafe in Allston (Boston).



Trust me.

The scent of sweaty fat people with disused genitals is thick in this thread.

Models wear makeup well, can pose and walk and work with photographers. Most of the folks on a America's Next Top Model are plain with "meh" bodies with a few noteable exceptions (including Tyra). Strippers and Porn Stars get my vote for "if I was at a party full of girls, what kind of girls would they be?"

and by "including Tyra", I mean I'd hit that harder than a judges gavel in an unruly courtroom. Her Top Models, not so much.

There's been a models-only lounge for years. It's called "my bedroom".

There is no club. It's just a meat locker.

It's time the rabble busted in that party.

And I know who can help...

It depends on the party, and how long I was going to be there. For example, I wouldn't want to hang out with 20 strippers for an extended period of time if they weren't stripping.

Most of the strippers I know (a few from college) were the most selfish, catty attention whores in town. When two showed up at the same party, it became an opportunity for them to make snide remarks and glare at each other.

I have absolutely no problem with this.

This is only fair. Fat, ugly people have Wal-Mart and Total Fark accounts.

Attractive people have better genes and deserve special treatment do they don't get cancer or other problems that average people get.

Don't argue, it's science. Keep the best people healthy and your population should reap the benefits. Don't cut down the healthy people - you've heard Rush's "The Trees", so learn something from it. don't just hear it and forget.

Change your life and the way you think about your life. It will make you a better person. Happier. Healthier. And just better in general.

But don't interfere with the people who didn't have to put in all that work - it just messes with the natural imbalance. Let them be their glorious selves while the rest of us toil in shiat, giving the sweat of our brow as a sacrifice to these blessed people.

Hey look, she's 10 ft tall and can still hoola hoop with a peppermint lifesaver. That's hot!

hrmm I was a model for awhile. It was a good college job as it was very easy and laid back, then again I experienced it from a guys perspective and there was a lot less pressure on us over our looks.

form my experience a lot of those models are nervous wrecks and or have body issues because their looks are under a microscope all the time and there is always someone who is taller, more leggy or looks better or whatnot in those types of clothes. It's a very tenuous position to be in when your looks are you meal ticket, and just like fashion trends change.

Overall I ran into very few models that were extremely self righteous or had a better-than-though attitude. Fashion people though (designers, photographers etc) they had extra loads of crazy and attitude.

All that being said I think fashion people are absolutely ridiculous and I never understood it.

Guess they are to good to even be around the general population. The very people who made their shallow careers and existence possible.

I did not think anyone of them looked all that gorgeous.

Without the professional makeup and photoshopping of their shoots they are pretty and above average in beauty but nowhere near what they look like in print it seems they think they are far more valuable to society then they really are.

Giving them their 'own' place to go is more a favor to the general population. IMO

Hardly. A certain (extremely small) subset of models (runway, high fashion) have to be tall and thin. The rest of us have to work our asses off under very strict regimens -- sometimes for many years -- to get and maintain exactly whatever look the agency is trying to market this week. The ones who are not only genetically ideal enough to land a modeling job and land the roughly 1% of available gigs that don't require any extra work to match spec, are a vanishingly small percentage of the industry. I have never met one one of those mythical creatures.

To assume that say... a fitness model, or an underwear model, or even the models on otherwise innocuous aisle markers at a Target somewhere, are just genetically "lucky" and aren't spending the equivalent of 40+ hours/week trying to get and maintain the look their bosses demand, just demonstrates how clueless and petty the accusatory party is.

I'm just annoyed at the shocking double standard: why making inferences about a person's lifestyle, personality, or mental capacities based on looks is completely socially acceptable if they're models, but not if they're at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Like I said, I don't do it anywhere. It was how I put myself through college. But I'm continually shocked how code or other engineering feats I pull off are retroactively downgraded or viewed with higher suspicion once someone finds out I used to model. I've had bosses say to my face, in public: "You know, I was very hesitant to hire you at first, because I was convinced you couldn't be very intelligent. Glad I was wrong!" And rather than reacting with awkwardness or shock at the faux pas, everyone within earshot laughs approvingly.

Maybe being constantly defending oneself from constant snark and perpetual underestimation is why TFA's club was set up in the first place.

Wow, grammar fail. "Anymore," and scratch that "being." Sorry, it's Friday and I'm tired.

Hey as long as it keeps the retards out of my fountain, I'm ok with it.
/you can decide which side they belong on

JesseL: sugahboy: Because nobody envies the fat people. And I mean nobody.

Better make that "nobody with an internet connection envies fat people".

Fair enough, but I imagine they don't really care about what models are doing either.

Dr. Poison: Average looking people have no idea what we're like. We don't sit around talking about you, so why do you do it to us? If it bothers you, there are plenty of places you can visit where there are no people like us - Mexico, China, and Poland for example. Or maybe a quick visit to a plastic surgeon might improve your mood? A little make-up doesn't hurt either. And get yourself some nicer shoes for a change. Maybe fix up your hair a bit, lose some weight and have your teeth whitened.


Fark that. I got sick of obsessing over not looking perfect. I've decided I'm attractive enough. Don't agree? Whatever.Some of the best people I've ever met weren't much in the looks department. If a small percentage of people wants to be obssesivly shallowing by strapping the blinders on and only seeing whats on the surface, have at it.

Right. And again, this does not require a Ph.D.

The ones who are not only genetically ideal enough to land a modeling job and land the roughly 1% of available gigs that don't require any extra work to match spec, are a vanishingly small percentage of the industry. I have never met one one of those mythical creatures.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here: supermodels or body part models (like hand models for hand creams, etc)? Either way, it doesn't require intelligence or further education.

To assume that say... a fitness model, or an underwear model, or even the models on otherwise innocuous aisle markers at a Target somewhere, are just genetically "lucky" and aren't spending the equivalent of 40+ hours/week trying to get and maintain the look their bosses demand, just demonstrates how clueless and petty the accusatory party is.

Getting and maintaining the look the bosses demand does not require a doctoral thesis, which is my point. It might require getting to the gym regularly.


I'm just annoyed at the shocking double standard: why making inferences about a person's lifestyle, personality, or mental capacities based on looks is completely socially acceptable if they're models, but not if they're at the opposite end of the spectrum.


Let's face it: how many intelligent models can you name? How about models with advanced degrees? I can think of only Christy Turlington, who has a business degree (?) and her own company that makes yoga wear.


Like I said, I don't do it anywhere. It was how I put myself through college.

You're right: there is a double standard. It's because modeling is a field that does not require higher education; it requires good genes and regular gym workouts.

Wendy's Chili
There's been a models-only lounge for years. It's called "my bedroom".

Yeah, but this is with real people, not just posters.

you_idiot: Now I finally have a place to relax

After you've drank up the Elbow Room and rolled down Bernal Hill in a barrel.

/your name, it burns

Oh, a lounge for scrawny whores. Great.

They won't need a health department permit, only places that serve food need those.

andrew131: How is this different than any other high end club out there?

Becuase it's a basement of a low-rent burger joint where the proprietor is dating a model and is baldly trying to create a buzz about his shiate hovel by having her and a couple of friend pose for the media and pretend to eat pastrami before they head to the privy for a good upchuck.

I had a friend who used to bang the occasional model. He worked in some bullshiat media relations compay doing nothing but pretending to be important. Basically what people on "The Hills" do.

He was a pretty good looking dude and was very funny, so he pulled model ass all the time. After a night of drinking I divulged my jealously. He basically said the novelty of banging models wears off extremely quickly. Most are used to guys kissing their asses and spending money on them, and aren't any better in the sack than your average college girl.

Now, I suppose it's one of things things I'd rather tire of myself, but I'll take his word for it.

What is interesting about being attractive is how differently the world treats you. The "halo" effect. You don't have to develop a winning personality to get attention or relationships, because these are handed to you through little or no effort. I remember when I used to be attractive and I wished I wasn't, so that people would stop talking about me. You also tend to have lower self esteem because it is likely that your self esteem becomes based on your attractiveness.

I mean, I'm fat and ugly now, but I can still remember those days. I actually prefer being this way, because you get treated like a person and not a body.

I was doing a image search for "model's lounge" and thought I'd share this photo. It's better than what I'd imagined.

quietbs: Helloooooo Ladies!

That stuff needs to come back. I'd be fashionable again.

Retort: tchau: doesn't phase me.

There are things in life I will never get being an asian guy

- Womans Wednesday Discounts for Car
- getting to join the ku klux klan (this would interesting)
- This model thing (well maybe, I'm a pro photogrpaher so they may let me in)
- and a bunch of exclusive stuff

oh well, c'est la vie that's life.

You can probably add "fully occupying a female" to that list.

Yeah your mom did require an extra finger and a wrist.

:)

jaerik: But when someone makes an equally inane comment (let alone a published article!) that implies "models are all stupid," people enthusiastically pile on the approval?

Because most fat people are at least intelligent enough to know that they are fat, even if they deny it in public.
Most models on the other hand... the ones I have known here in southern cali couldn't win a battle of wits with a cinder block.

There are exceptions of course, but what usually happens when a person gets whatever they want in this life because their parents have money or they hit the genetic "beauty" lottery is that they don't bother to develop their minds or their personalities. Why should they do that? It's too much like work, and when you have to work at something it has more value than when it is handed to you.

tchau: - getting to join the ku klux klan (this would interesting)

As an Asian, you should be, like, the president of the KKK! The same tests and metrics that show whites ahead of blacks show you asshats even farther ahead of whites! Always keeping us down!

Man On Pink Corner: tchau: - getting to join the ku klux klan (this would interesting)

but but the blacks with their fast twitch muscle fibers and the white man with his snatching of our asian woman will surely rise up against me.

Well until the middle eastern man finally blows us up.

In the end the tequila drunk latin people will sober up and rule all...with they crazy sex crazed latin females.

The article assumes that female models are sluts. I disagree. To wit:

If
models are sluts
then
models would sleep with many men
if so then
the chances of meeting a man who slept with a model are exponential

So how many men do you know who have slept with a model?

hershmire:

Models are just like any other girl and people, they like sex. So to answer your question is many, and yes. I have several.

Then again a lot of people in the industry have a hedonistic nature, its not bad...just the occasional heart break and crazy.

Lots of models in Atlanta?

I was expecting so much more with a title like Hot Lunch...

Bored Horde: The scent of sweaty fat people with disused genitals is thick in this thread.

you sound fat.

Imagine the scintillating conversation.

"So, I like stuff. You?"
"Yeah. Stuff's cool. Wanna get crazy?"

bronyaur1: I couldn't imagine any place that would be more fun to go... hanging out with four coked-out entitled twenty-somethings, with IQs that average 85, having a fabulously interesting discussion whilst they all share a grape for lunch.

You sound fat.

He considers anyone who has posed for a picture to be a model.

No, just lots of "models" in Atlanta.

Funny, and what do you consider?

Is it someone who's paid? I know several. Some only $500 a week, some make $6000~$10000 a week. They aren't super models, but still get paid well.

Is it someone whos thin and tall? Well that's idiotic for anyone to think only thin and tall people can be models. You're supporting the stereotype. But yes, many of my girl friends I consider model material are about 5'8" and taller, but there are some who are shorter.


Compared to LA, Miami, and New York there are not many models in Atlanta. That's the nature of the business and where the business is. It's there though. Pretty much anywhere there's a bit of fortunate 500 companies who need a pretty face there will be a bunch of models.
