went to check out A&F on wednesday
there were so many people there
anticipating to take photos with the models
and i thought i would be excited too
but yet, i just stood there and looked
the feeling was so surreal, like seeing shirtless guys standing there
and letting you take pictures with them
yes, there were cute and they were indeed very sweet
but i felt that it was just plain wrong
the feeling wasn't right
and so i just stood there and helped my friends take pictures
though i did take one or two pictures, i felt so wrong
for no apparent reason
i know it's their job
but looking at them having to oblige everything is just heartache for me
i do not know anyone of them personally
but if i did, i think the feeling will be different
some of them look really tired and i feel for them
their expression when some fanatic girls just go in front of them
the fake smile they always have to put up with
and i admire those whose smile looks so genuine
but i think deep inside they are completely drained out
no doubt they enjoy the fame and attention
i would like to think that at least one of them couldn't stand being there
some girls were just plain rude
like, hello, they are not your slaves, if you want them to carry you,
can't you at least say please?
and can't you tell that their faces were kind of reluctant and they are exhausted?
rain or shine, they have to be there, without any shirts and pants that are so low,
which some of them kept trying to pull up
i don't know why this stirred up so much emotions in me,
but i think at least the models should be treated with more respect
and the fact that they are so sweet, answering to your questions and being so friendly,
don't they at least demand some respect?
maybe i passed the phase of physical attraction,
at least for the body part,
because i feel that if they were to put their shirts on,
maybe i would take photos with them?
but still, i think it is really degrading
people treating them like a statue,
and worst still,
a human statue, who keeps posing for the camera.
this doesn't mean that they are unprofessional,
they really are, the best that anyone can be
i think having to put up smile and
letting some stranger hug you and do nonsensical stuff is an extraordinary feat
it is the mental barrier you have to overcome
to me, it is the most difficult and challenging barrier to overcome
and people might say it is an easy job,
and they get to fly like half-way around the world and
their job is just to stand there and take photos.
initially, it might be fun,
but it is really tired, both mentally and physically
didn't expect myself to think that way
certainly didn't expect myself to have such strong opinions
about strangers i don't know
this is just my opinion,
im sure some models really enjoy the limelight and their job,
and i totally respect that
thank you very much for having to bear with all the crazy stuff that people make you do
though i strongly feel that you have the right to say NO with some of the absurd requests you get
felt so sorry for you guys
