Day Sixteen- Supermodel (You Better Work)


Ahhh, nothing is more comforting than sipping tea in your parents house...snow on the ground outside, and watching marathon episodes of America's Next Top Model. I really think this show should be on Channel 13 b/c it really is educational. Tyra teaches me to "smile with my eyes." Mr. Jay (not to be confused with Miss J) shows me how to keep my chin up and elongate my body when I am being photographed. But do you know what I really learned today? That our unemployment rate should seriously be zero b/c obviously any numbskull (love that word) can get paid to basically do anything. Don't believe me? Well, let me introduce you to the "Swirl Twins"

The Swirl Twins, or as I just found out via google, Ron and Richard Harris, are a pair of burly men who teach people how to SPIN IN A CIRCLE FOR A LIVING. Tyra had them on to teach the girls how to "twirl" on the runway. I really wish I could find a clip of this on youtube, but basically these guys do a twirl, then the girls copy them. I bet they pulled at least $5000 for that, right?

And then, we have runway coach and diva extraordinaire, Miss Jay (See Photo). Miss Jay gets paid to teach girls how to walk down a runway. I must say, he does have a killer walk and legs for miles, but really??? This is a job?

Ok people, think of something, ANYTHING, and start getting paid for it. Below are a few ideas to get you going.

Pet Psychic--People get paid to do this. Why can't I?
Baby Masseuse- Yep, another real job.
Pigeon Whisperer- How I can help get rid of those nasty pigeons on your ledges.
Professional Annoyer- Hire me to annoy that special someone in your life.
Refrigerator Feng Shui Master- You aren't losing weight because your vegatables are mixing in with your leftover lagansa--major chi blockage!

  1. One of my fav faux-jobs is "life-coach."

    Are you kidding me???? People are seriously trying to pass that off as more than "I will give you advice on all the bullshit in your life and regurgitate things from self-help books."

    I think you should totally go for it.
