Smarties!

So, I’m continually surprised at the stereotypes that come into play in my job. Everyone has this idea that beautiful women are unapproachable, not-so-smart, party girls. Every guy I talk to tells me they envy my job, yet they wonder why I don’t get nervous talking to gorgeous ladies.

Let me say this: models, or beautiful women in general, are just people. They put their pants on one leg at a time. They have Cheerios for breakfast (at least the cool ones do…) and they have their not-so-cool moments too like everyone else. They are people…they are just hotter than the average person. And that’s okay, because it gives the rest of us schmucks something pretty to look at.

But even more than that, they are more than just good looks. Honestly (and I’m sure a lot of the girls clumped into this category would deny this…), most of the girls I shoot with are probably bigger dorks than I am. And that’s saying a lot, because I’m a pretty big dork. But I enjoy the dorkiness. I enjoy being stupid sometimes…and that’s why I love my job so much…because I get to know the real person behind the picture.

Aside from the dorkiness, a lot of models I shoot are hella smart too.

Yes, I said “hella.”

Seriously, I’ve shot with girls studying to be lawyers, doctors, teachers, girls that are into finance, management, etc. Sadly, I have to say, a lot of these girls are probably smarter than me. But you know, I’m okay with that. :)

Anyway, just thought I’d share that little deal…I was having a conversation with a friend the other day about this very subject…and I think a lot of people are at a disadvantage because when they look at a picture in a magazine or on tv, they see a pretty face…but don’t get to know the all the little facets that make that person so great.

So, when I saw this article online, I thought I’d share it. Goes to show that a girl can be beautiful and smart. ;)
