@slarson14 It is funny how I "fell" into modeling.

First, it was nothing but wedding dresses at bridal shows between the ages of 20-24. Small potatoes; I just happened to be a perfect size 8-10 and was 5'8" barefooted; fresh, young, girl next door look I think is what it must have been.

Then I worked as a model for photographers refining their techniques.

Then I took up photographing weddings and brides, myself, just as a hobby for years.

THEN, when I was 32, someone suggested I take my young 2 yo son to a modeling agency. He was a pretty good looking and charming 2-3 year old, very verbally articulate. Think Gerber baby type.

So I took him to a modeling event. He didn't get hired, but I did: to do television commercials. lolol and I didn't even intend it to happen! So weird.

I did two commercials; I think. I was being paid $20.00/hr (1988) but I was bored to tears doing retakes! That "modeling" lasted 4 months; besides, I was in graduate school, had three kids by then, and no time to waste.

Like I said, looks are temporary, character is forever. I look at those old modeling photos and think: that isn't me. It is just a clay pot.
