Time and again, I've been asked if I was a model and sometimes advised to become one because I'm over 190cm, but I find it difficult, near impossible to agree to it and start working towards it.
Let me explain; I'm more in touch with my masculine side. It has nothing to do with my sexual orientation or whatever else you might think, it's simply more comfortable to wear a pair of shorts and a shirt than it is to wear a halter top and a skirt.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem wearing skirts but the comfortable ones end up not matching my figure therefore they are reserved for Sundays. I prefer gowns to skirts but I can't spread my legs as much as I want to or rest my ankle on my other knee without giving innocent people an eyeful of my privates.
Female blouses are either ugly or uncomfortable or both and for someone who doesn't exit their comfort zone; a nightmare.
As for the aspect of modeling itself, I imagine I'll be a nightmare to work with.
First of all, you'd never catch me in my underwear or worse; heels, I avoid sleeveless clothes like a plauge (I only wear them to bed), I'd want to wear only male clothes and I get awkward the moment a camera is pointed at me.
What do I do with my hands? Don't my legs look unnatural when I stand like this? My eyes look weird. Damn my smile is quite ugly.
I start to notice things that aren't even there. Also, models are versatile creatures and were fashion is concerned, I'm as rigid as a mountain.
Walking on a runway wouldn't be fun either, the HEELS, the swaying of hips, the very feminine poses; I could never.
I know for a fact that I would make a good photographer once I get the hang of it, or a good director but facing a camera lens would be a huge obstacle to overcome.
