How To Be A Supermodel

[certainthings]

Since I am a CoverGirl, I thought if any of you are interested in learning a little bit about modeling I could offer you some tips, I've sashayed down plenty of catwalks in my day - well, one. But I know what it takes to make an impression. So here are some suggestions, as long as you are willing to be fierce.

One: The Look
Always look like you're angry at the universe for making you too pretty.

Two: The Walk
Trot. Aggressively, like you're a horse that's trying to avoid puddles.

Three: The Squint
Squint like someone is bouncing sunlight off their watch and directly into your eyes.

Four: The Pout
Get those lips out there. Purse your lips like you're trying to sip out of a straw that someone keeps moving away from you.

Five: The Pose
Be mysterious. Always pose with one hand in your pocket as if to say, "I'm so mysterious, this hand in my pocket could be a hook hand. You don't know."

Six: The Breeze
Carry a giant oscillating fan with you at all times. No exceptions.

Now put it all together. Trot! Squint! Get the straw! Who's a pretty girl? You are. Keep trotting!

I dunno, mimicking that could make for some interesting discussion in my honors English classes....

Cracked me up. I like Ellen's humor :)

I've never understood the trot, even when I watched ANTM and they instructed the models. I've never wanted couture because the people near gallop/high step down the catwalk. Maybe.

The look, I have that. If by it, one means 'never smiled in high school and everyone thought I was a bitch because of it.' I have that in spades.

Carry a giant osc. fan: I do. Always.
