Lady in Red

Aug 23, 2006 Author: FMS | Filed under: Selca

Here’s our first street shot taken and submitted by a “regular reader.” Good shot, man! I like the red, but the shoes…umm…I don’t know. They kind of look like they should have a strap but someone forgot to put it on. And the front and back look like different shoes put together. Eww.

I won’t play fashion police, though. She sure looks cute. I guess only our “regular reader” knows.

Red Shorts

Any more intrepid photographers out there? Submit them pics, people! I’ll post anything ya’ll find!

In the Office

Aug 23, 2006 Author: FMS | Filed under: Auditions

I was doing running some errands when I ran across one of the most attractive “office girls” I’ve ever met, who was amazingly friendly to me. At that particular point in the day, the place seemed to have a lull in customers, so I felt like it would be silly of me to miss the opportunity to ask about being a model and posing. She promptly and eagerly complied.

Sitting

She has an interesting set of legs and feet, I’d say. I myself don’t prefer the pointy look, but the longer I look, the more I realize that her feet are pretty cute and have their own personality. And she is such a diamond-in-the-rough; with even a single pedicure and a little attention to some good foot fashion, don’t you think she could work really well as model here?

Sitting Bare

The likelihood of that happening is kind of iffy unless I am able to sit down with her on the site and show her just how positive a reaction she has gotten on these posts, I think. It seemed to make a big difference to our first model, Rachel, who got a real kick out of even having gotten two comments on her pictures. Stroke that ego, people! And any comments/participation from girls would also help things along a lot.

Kinda Naughty

Aug 21, 2006 Author: FMS | Filed under: Glamorous, Street Runway

Well, dear readers!

Strut1I was enjoying the first real cool day in a long time, sitting at a convenience store, thinking on the remains of the day…when suddenly, this pert young lady starts doing a fashion show runway walk back and forth, up and down the street. It was exaggerated, like she was sashaying for some unknown camera, or doing a San Fran drag show. Strut2Either she was totally conscious of what she was doing, or completely oblivious to the power of her own girly sexiness. Maybe it was both, but the whole cheap, yet sexy Ghetto Fabulous thing was something to behold. So I slowly started reaching for my camera…and landed some amazing shots. I thought she saw me out of the corner of her eye, but she didn’t seem to care and just kept talking on the phone, to whom I am pretty sure was her boyfriend. She was chewing gum and speaking in that screechy, yet babyish, yet somehow aggressiive tone that just might be the Korean equivalent of a Brooklyn or South Boston accent. Although it’s just my own thinking, I imagined her boyfriend to be the kind of guy who sits on the subway with his legs wide open, left hand hugging his crotch as he kind of sneeringly looks around. With a white tank t-shirt, to boot.

Strut CloseI would’ve maybe asked if she might want to model, but I was honestly afraid of – to start with – her boyfriend coming over and putting a baseball bat to my kneecap after she gigglingly mentions to him that a long-nosed foreigner had just asked her to be a model for his “web site” (I’m sure he would be thinking of something nice, with hardcore pictures of farm animals or something); Strutting Backsecond of all, I thought that she herself would be just as likely as not to give me the patented Korean girl “up-down” stare, guffaw ridiculously to herself, roll her eyes, then walk away. “1-2-3! You’re out!” I know, because it’s happened to me before. Ouch! I got to snap away several shots of her doing a runway walk past me, then doing a fashion model twirl and coming back in my direction, then off into the distance to meet her man. Dang, girl! Are you positively naughty! Or maybe it was just me imagining? Either way, one Austin Powers purr to you!

First Model II – Rachel!

Aug 21, 2006 Author: FMS | Filed under: Models

Well, it’s official! We’ve full systems go with our first model – Rachel!

Standing-1

I met with Rachel tonight and looked at the site at a PC room together – off in the corner, of course, so as not to attract any attention from nosy neighbors – and took a look at the pictures I posted of her a couple days ago. I was a little nervous, because I thought that she might suddenly see herself on the real screen on a site getting about a couple hundred regular visitors a day – and freak out. But she was just smiling and giggling the whole time as we looked at the site and read the comments together. So you two who left comments on her the post with her pictures – “jellybeans” and “jonallen”  – she thinks very well of you guys and totally agrees that Korean girls have the best feet. XXX is very flattered, she wants wants you to know, and thinks the whole business is quite “재미있어요!” I’d have to agree – I’m having as much fun as her.

Close-1After dinner, we went out to take a quick pic or three, and also to give a little sample of how she’s been settling in after the pedicure. She was in study mode tonight and cutely casual – and up for a few more shots. We chose a back alley without lots of people and shot for around 5 minutes before it was time for her to go back, since she has only a bit more than a week left of catch-up study time before school starts back up. She’s very stressed these days, she says, but this little pastime and part-time job is a fun little diversion for her. I find myself quite “diverted”, too! Rachel’s our girl site’s first official girl now, so let’s welcome her with your comments, suggestions, and support. She’s gonna read this site, so for your dudes out there – be gentlemen, gentlemen! She come from first pedicure to posing for a strange foreign dude to officially agreeing to be groomed into a feet-and-leg model superstar on this site – so let’s help her do that and enjoy watching her grow along with us. She’s a pretty trusting girl, so don’t let her down. For the guys on the site, now’s your chance to be the good collective oppa to her; do we have any unni’s in the house?

And thanks, Rachel! This is gonna be fun!

"있잖아..다리가 아름다운건 아니야...단지 그걸 어떻게 해야 하는지를 아는거야."

What is TALENT?

"내가 연기할 수 없을 때, 난 연기를 해야 했고, 노래할 수 없을 때, 난 '익살스런 얼굴'을 노래해야 했다. 또, 난 Fred Astaire와 함께 춤을 춰야 했었는데, 그때는 춤을 출 수 있는 상황이 아니었다. 그러니까 내가 준비되지 않았을 때 난 이 모든것을 해야 했던 것이다. 그때 난 정말 미친듯이 이 난국을 타개하기 위해 노력했다."

"I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing 'Funny Face' when I couldn't sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.”

---Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993)
