The Dating Life of Models

I blogged the other day about the model-centric May issue of American Vogue (which I have yet to lay my hands on. I've seen it at the newsstand, but after our April 15th tax day, I have precious little money to spend on such luxuries. I'll probably just head to the library and have a good read later).

One of the stories included in the issue is about five of the models and who they are dating at the moment. I know what you're thinking-- that this is fodder for the gossip mags-- but the accompanying photos are decidedly less Us Weekly and more high fashion.

TatianaTheAnonymousModel used the Vogue spread as a springboard for her own humourous article on the dating habits of models. She explores the types of men that models date. For example:


1. The Fellow Model

As modeled by Arlenis Sosa Pena and Rene Rodriguez
Representative sentence from magazine copy: "When asked if they ever shop together, they answer in unison, 'Always!' "

Pros:

• Knows the industry, understands its demands
• Empathizes with the indignity of having your hair pulled for a living (kinda — this happens less to boys)
• Can tell you if you look castings-ready or not in the mornings

Cons:

• You can wear his clothes. But he can also wear yours.
• You both do the exact same thing for a living every day. What on earth are you going to talk about?

Maybe it's just me, but her post made me laugh, and somehow struck me as true to life.
