After getting Steven Lim’s MODEL link from Fen’s MSN nick. I couldnt stop laughing for a good God-knows-how-long. Twas hilarious! And good things must be shared and we all could use a good laugh now and then. MODEL LEY! PREPOSTEROUS! I cant believe it. When I first heard it ages ago, I was appalled. Of all the good people in the world, Mr Yellow Underpants! But now, to truly see it with my own two eyes. I wanted to die.

I shared the link with my other girlfriends and they agreed it was crap (to put it mildly). Liza’s response was classic and I loved it! MUAHAHAHA!

In my opinion, the site was terrible. Wait, you want my honest and unbridled remarks? IT WAS EFFED UP.
1) The pictures were HORRENDOUS. Badly taken, no proper lighting. BAD MAKEUP. NO STUDIO! And LAME poses.
2) The comments and profile for each so-called model was poorly written in half past six English. And it REEKED of LAMENESS. Were the comments called for in the first place?

Calvin is a extremely handsome cute young man..He has no girlfriend now too n he is looking for a serious girlfriend..Great for all events including modeling

Hui Huang is very cute girl. Keeping some baby fat on the face, she looks an adorable chipmunk which keeps smiling. All events!

Bao Zhen is such a sweet cutie! Her face like one of the members of 5566. (5566 are GUYS?!) Good for all events including modeling.

I dont know whether to laugh or cry for the people who allowed themselves to be publicly ridiculed. But hey, if they’re really getting jobs from having badly taken pictures of themselves posing in front of some lame brown wall, then well, I’d say he’s found a new formula for promoting models. Maybe all modeling agencies should start saving cost and NOT invest in a good photographer and a good studio and just make all their models pose in front of some brown marble wall. Oh did I forget to mention LAME, act cute poses?

My goodness. He’s somehow managed to outdo himself no MATTER what he does. There’s been a spate of attention given to our dear Mr Yellow Underpants recently because of the Top 7 most Disgusting Bloggers list generated not too long ago. And it may seem like Im jumping on the bandwagon dissing him, but it just so happens, I HAVE GRIPES AGAINST PEOPLE WHO USE THE MODEL LABEL AND FLAGRANTLY TREAT IT LIKE SOME WHORE. I’ve done shoots and runway, but I dont call myself a model! Who are these people who have been picked up from the streets to call themselves a MODEL when you have yet to appear in the fashion pages of Style or ELLE? The line has been blurred and everyone’s a MODEL these days. BAH! Maybe this checklist will help.

Do you
1.) go for castings every other day?
2.) or have you done fashion runway shows?
3.) appear in the pages of a fashion magazine? And NO, I dont mean some obscure corner with a comment or remark on some topic. But a 5 page spread of you clad in some branded clothing.
4.) have a BMI that’s waaaaaaaay below the average? (I understand there’s the ban where models cannot have a BMI of 18 or less. But still you should be on the verge of anorexia before you’re considered a model.)
5.) eat, breath, sleep castings and photoshoots?
6.) wear sunglasses everytime you go out because the sun’s too bright and you’re scared everyone’s going to recognise you? PLUS, the flash of the photographer’s ALWAYS hurts your eyes.
7.) totter about in 4 inch high heels WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL?
8.) have legs that go on forever? It seems as though you’re completely legs and no torso.
9.) have a portfolio with NICE glossy pictures where makeup IS DONE BY PROFESSIONALS?

If you answered 6 or more YES to the above, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE CONSIDERED A MODEL.
PS: Most questions applicable to female models ONLY. Male models should apply to Men’s Folio and score a COVER page. HAHA!

Unfortunately, there are only a select few whom I recognise as models. And THB is one of them.

THB and I had the privilege of being a couple in front of the camera today. Back to good ol’ Sports Pageant days. Muahaha! The new batch of Pageant-ees were having their photoshoot today and I was lucky that the photographer allowed me to intrude and go down for a look-see. He later said that he wanted to shoot THB and I. His offer came at an incredible time because it’s almost been a year since we first met at the Pageant shoot last year.

Two shots of me.

This picture shows why I got Miss Body Beautiful! Haha! I was totally surprised man!

I like this shot the best. FIERCE!

Hoooooo! More exciting things coming up! Wo0ot!
