I know it doesn’t seem too difficult to be a fashion show model. They glower and pout for no apparent reason. They walk to one end of a long ramp, turn around, and walk back. It’s hard to get lost.
But this unusual photo shows the dark side of the profession. this model, in a business that notices every ounce of weight she adds, is forced to look at fresh doughnuts while having her hair styled. Warm, yeasty, straight from the bakery. For all we know, it could even be worse. Maybe somebody is also serving a heap of melted cheese nachos, fried chicken, and hot apple crisp with French vanilla ice cream.
I don’t know about you, but suddenly it’s a whole lot easier to understand where those glowers and pouts are coming from. Cripes, it’s a wonder there isn’t gunfire.

Eating air would never be the same …
- Posted by John C AbellI don’t know why I mixed doughnuts and no-doze
- Posted by Shawn HendricksThe cruelest part may be the aerosol cheese shown in reflection.
- Posted by Shawn HendricksNot for nothing, but when will they finally debut the Dunkin Steak?
- Posted by Shawn HendricksSally has such horrible hand-eye coordination that just trying to eat a doughnut makes her eyes glaze over.

- Posted by Shawn HendricksI wonder if they realize there’s not ten, but twelve in a dozen?
Craft Services just isn’t what it used to be.
- Posted by Shawn Hendricks“Don’t worry, Al, she won’t touch them. She’s been trained not to.”
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely. If she even thinks about it, the modeling agency smacks her on the nose.”
“Well, that doesn’t seem like it would deter her at all. I mean, what’s a smack on the nose going to do?”
“Make her nose look fat.”
“Oooh!”
- Posted by Lady Weasel…Sheila waited patiently for the photographer to take her picture before cramming every donut into her mouth and running for the bathroom to….purge herself of guilt.
