Confidential memo to fashion show staff: Now, please keep an open mind about this, because times are tough and we still need to cut more costs. We spend a fortune putting on these shows, and why? Because we use live models!
But what if we used dead ones? I don’t mean like really old gross decayed ones, but you know, just very recently departed ones. They don’t complain about the outfits, they don’t talk back and the only cost is some dry ice!
Joey, you get the lawyers to research the laws on dead model usage. Kelli, you go to the hardware store and buy all the wheelbarrows they’ve got….

- Posted by FortunaleeSuddenly I understand thin models.
- Posted by Shawn HendricksIn the long run, you should have gone with the inflatables. They rot slower, they are reusable and on cruise liner shows they double as life preservers.
