City Why Are All Those Thin and Pretty Young Woman Lined Up Around Nordstrom?

To audition for America’s Next Top Model, of course.

Unfortunately I don’t have a camera, so I’ll just have to describe what I saw in words.

Basically, there are several hundred young women of varying degrees of natural and artificial beauty standing in line at Sixth and Pine, shifting from one high-heeled foot to the other. While I was there, a well-dressed, amply sized African-American man was bellowing at the would-be models about the healing power of the Lord, and numerous panhandlers were enjoying the view.

That is the unsexiest chick I have ever seen. Gah. Now I've got the George Harrison song "Bangladesh" running through my head.

And what the fuck is wrong with her hair? She looks like she's got varnish in it. And the ripped shapeless rag? This is fashion?

"Tiffany is a 'Hope Model' living in a community severely afflicted by the Anorexia Nervosa Crisis. In Paris, this epidemic has impacted the entire Haute Coiture social structure, creating a generation of ultra-slim, sleek, whippet-like runway models, who survive each day on little more than a diet of mineral water and breath mints.

Your donation of $150 - that's just 40-cents per day - can ensure Tiffany and others like her receive the B-1 injections they so desperately need to maintain the energy required to walk dozens of feet each day back-and-forth along the catwalks of the Sainte-Germain des Pres.

Please, call now. Her career is depending on you."
