I recently discovered that nude models get paid well. Goodbye college, hello new career! Well, maybe I should try it at least once before I dump that long-term investment in my education down the drain.. yada yada :)
First step before applying for a full-time position? Talk to someone with experience. Running through my social network, I realized I don't know anyone who nude models. Unbelievable! I consider calling the Career Services center at my university, but I settle for the next best person I could find, moi.
Naïve Audrey: Good money for little work.
Skeptical Audrey: Is it little work? You’re getting paid well for a reason…
N: Duh, all you have to do is stand there, lie there, whatever.
S: Point proven. When’s the last time you were still for more than ten minutes?
N: Easy—
S: --Sleeping doesn’t count.
N: Damn. Well, I could sit.
Christina, friend who can read minds (as interpreted by Loopy Audrey, who doesn’t focus on accuracy): The hardest part is choosing a comfortable position to stay in, and getting back into that exact same position during the next session for the artists. They’ll yell at you if you’ve moved and now their prize sketch/painting/sculpture is messed up.
Both Audreys: (awed silence at Christina’s brilliance)
Conclusion - I’m going to give it a try. Probably for some random class that meets once ever and only for an hour and has sucky artists. My original thought was adult night classes, but for some reason, that doesn’t seem right…
