| The glass and steel facade of the Acme Modeling Agency was stark, but beckoning in a sophisticated way. This was it. Taking a deep breath, Jacqueline stepped over to the male model and adjusted his collar. Nice! But still, she really did want to do modeling herself. Sigh. I guess for now, it was all just a fantasy! She paused for a final jelly doughnut before entering the inner sanctum of the plush office where dozens of models were milling around, considering who would look best in which outfit. With the sunlight streaming in from the window behind them, I couldn't help but be reminded of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" as, in shadow, they moved, tall and willowy through the revolving door, but they lacked the coordination to get out! Around and around they went. Soon their faces matched their chartreuse skin with their pointy ears and antennae. She never imagined Andorrans would be here! Totally confused, Jacqueline exclaimed "Fairy wings!" This ensemble would blow away the skeletal remains of the anorexic models. What a tragedy.
But the show must go on. The rest of you: Take a number and get in line. When you fill in your applications, please include your criminal history, if applicable. That may seem like a strange question, but would you mind if I applied just a bit more hair gel? I just want to be sure to put my makeup on right this time. To help me, I want to ask Mr. Trump if he will sponsor our expo. If he does. we'll be able to afford all the makeup we will ever need. And big mirrors too. When we look into the mirrors, we want to see a little more attitude. Show me that anorexic girl who came in a while ago. She has the look we want. She must weigh close to 350 pounds. But that's OK. Have her hold up this piece of plywood... that's right... Perfect! She's a door. The next girl can pose on this poof chair. It is shaped like a high-heeled shoe. How mod! I wonder who thought up that idea.
It must have been Mr. Fleschmarkt who authorized that! You know it's against procedure to wear more clothes than can be stored in a purse. Now fix your wardrobe immediately!" Crying, she moaned, "Why me? Why do I have to wear that hideous dress? Can't you see that it is too cold in here for a swimsuit shoot! Blue lips are not sexy!" THE END! |
