Too Good to Be True?

Ok, I'm taking a pubic opinion poll here. I emailed the strange man who approached me a month or so ago about a possible modeling gig and below is his response. I need you all to let me know if you think I'm being paranoid or naive or overly critical or what because I don't know what to think. Imagine you're me, working a shitty part- time job and writing short stories and this guy comes up out of the blue and offers this to you. I don't know why I can't believe it, but something about the whole thing just isn't fitting together for me. I'm waiting for the catch. Anyway, have a read, if you would, and tell me what you think. Sound fishy? Also, sound cheesy? Is this really something I want to do if it is for real? Would you do it? I'm so painfully midwestern...

Jeff, Outpost12studios in Lincoln, Nebraska will be producing the
vodeo
project in January. Am in New york doing fashion shows like told all of
you
I would be - then retreat to the midwest to be low key. Regarding your
appearance in the project, you have the rest of the year to mull it
over.
filming will take place in mid January. That means flying you here for
four
days for filming. Prior to that, I can return there at times to coach
you on
the choreography. You should have everything well rehearsed by that
time
since it is only a five minute video. The last time I saw you I came
across
the street and stopped you and told you that like a big brother figure,
I
was not, and will not steer you in any wrong direction. I do not know
what
lifestyle you have lived, but jet-setting is in the lifestyle of anyone
involved in this business. Use your brain man, there is tons of money
on
this planet, you have been blessed lookswise, do what I and countless
other
males have done USE YOUR LOOKS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE TO EXPEDITE BECOMING
FINANCIALLY SECURE!!! I'm not into menial work, did that, don't have
to, am
planning to retire when this bloody video is completed! It is my
brainchild,
has been in my blood to do it because I have the ability to do it, can
muster the 'star quality" essence to carry it, (you received a minute
sample
of my stage presence while I was there), and can get it properly
executed to
fashion designers, which is the whole purpose of it. It's only a
promotional
project remember, to inspire fashion designers to return to prior
well-dressed looks in their creations. My whole success in life has
been
attributed to my presentation. Even many years ago when I was homeless,
the
security personnel at the former Golden Nugget casino in Atlantic City,
NJ
voted me "best dressed bum". If that isn't an American story of some
sort,
what is? ALEXIS!!! P.S. If you can provide a contact number, and tell
me how
you are doing, and if you are still at the coffee shop. Also, you can
samle
the video via the internect by pulling up the Vogue video.

In Case You Missed It...

If you haven't seen this clip of Clinton verbally abusing Jim Wallace on Fox News, check this out. In case you haven't caught on yet, Fox News has nothing to do with journalism or reporting facts or trying to get to the heart of situations and everything to do with conservative propaganda (rent "OutFoxed" sometime for a one-sided but informative look inside this news channel). Clinton is a beast in this. I was too caught up in growing up during the nineties to know what was going on, but he's quickly becoming my new political hero. Periodically try to imagine George W. maintaining a stream of thought for this long (let alone citing these kinds of facts off the top of his head), and watch how he thinks before he speaks. You have to take the good with the bad when you're talking about huge world figures like Bill Clinton, but I believe despite his faults with fidelity he is a serious thinker, intellectual, and leader as you can see here. It's in two parts, but worth the time to watch both. Enjoy!
