I’m Pondering the Idea of Getting into Modeling

I think I might be able to fill a niche.

I occasionally ponder unusual jobs. One job I got to thinking about was modeling. No, not the conventional type of male modeling. I’m not quite senile enough to think I’m GQ material, but there are all types of models. I think I might have a modeling future as, “Before.”

That would be nice. I could go by one name. There would be Gisele, Fabio and Before. They could photoshop “After.” Or get me a stunt/modeling double.

Of course, I’m versatile. While I could be Before in weight loss and fitness ads, I could branch out. A while back, my doctor told me I had beautiful feet. Though my wife insists I don’t, I tend to want to take the word of a health care professional. I will say my toenails aren’t completely yellow, and my feet have kept their schoolboy figure.

There are questions

How do you get into foot modeling without attracting attention from some strange people? Sending out pictures of my feet to strangers, or even people I know seems weird. As I think about it, I’ve never seen an ad for foot models.

Plus, I think of the terrible experience of Peggy Hill. I don’t want to go down that road.

You probably don't know my name, but have likely seen my work. I've written for numerous syndicated cartoon strips and my gags have appeared in national pubs.
