Forces. I watch a lot of television and i have come to the conclusion that models Are not Happy people especially those who sell hair conditioners and sexy perfumes they have a took of hostile Defiance on their faces that i have not seen since my daughter told me that All the girls in her class pierced their ears with an Ico cube and a paper clip and they did t get sick every time i see a Model look into the camera with a cold aloofness i Tell myself Here s a woman who put her elderly dog to sleep that morning and just got a Call from her agent telling her she blew the Revlon account. Besides her pantyhose Are on backward causing her great pain. Tiey defy you to like their product. Or for that matter understand what they re Selling. Perfume ads Are becoming so vague they re like mind leaders. I saw a woman the other night running alone through the darkness in Florence. She finally appeared before the statue of David dropped her Cape to reveal Bare Page 16 the stars and stripes shoulders and god knows what else and just stood there. I said to my husband i wonder what she s  he said. Whatever it is he in t  models have been an Enigma to me since the Days when i used to Allend luncheon style shows for some Benalil. The room would grow dark and the spotlight would fall on a 37-Pound woman who hit the runway like she had just coughed after surgery. Nervously she would twirl and fidget her head jerking irom Side to Side. She never made Eye Contact. Her Sisters who followed were the same. They All acted like they were graduates at the Sam Donaldson Charm school there Are exceptions of course. Christie Brinkley hurls around her Lal hair with a glowing smite. When Cheryl Tiegs Sells cameras she seems to be having a Good Lime it seems foreign models Are the ones who Teel the thicker the accent the More expensive the perfume. The More they whisper the deeper the wednesday june 29,1968 desire to keep your underarms dry. Somehow you know that when you buy a car Catherine Deneuve drapes her body Over you would t dare put a shag Rug on the dashboard. It does t take a Genius to figure out that advertisers want their products and clothes to be taken seriously. They want them to set a mood for seduction mystery and intrigue. One simply does not laugh during a tryst. Frankly i can t get too serious Over a protein fix for my hair or a skill the size of a coaster. I love raisins that dance and toilet seats that talk and i m crazy for the commercial where the Model is talking about the Cost of children s gym shoes As she knocks a pair of eel Oil the table and drops a pair of shoes into the Washer when her daughter yells where Are my Pink gym shoes she grimaces it must be prom  come to think of it she does t smile either.
