I’ve decided to attend the Barbizon School of Modeling

At 47 and with a lifetime of failed careers and dead ends behind me, I’ve finally decided to go back to school and get my degree. This is my ticket to the big time! But what should I major in? Modeling? Acting? Poise?

I got me a fur at the Ritz Thrift Shop and now I'm skiing in St Moritz, living the dream!

OP, you would make a very beautiful model. You have everything we are looking for. All we will need from you is $4,800 of the first semester. And $1,375 for you first set of pictures. All in cash. Up-front.

They do have a PhD in Delusional Insanity, you might look 👀 into.

Modeling of course. You already have the vapid part down. In no time, you’ll be ready to compete in the Spokesmodel category on Star Search!

by Anonymousreply 4March 8, 2020 3:22 PM

Just remember that you need to set aside money not just for your first semester but to shut things down in your first trimester.

You know what high-fashion modeling is like. They'll be all over you, and you have to be ready if you want to climb Mount Everest to reach the Valley of the Dolls.

This is what being a modern woman is all about.

Good luck.

Me too! It’ll be difficult dealing with the trappings of fame and avoiding the paparazzi and Meghan Markle, but at least I’ll stop being poor.

Honey, I'd start with poise. Just because you're five-foot tall in heels doesn't mean you can't look a foot taller if you BELIEVE and carry yourself that way.

I'm sure the Barbizon registrar told you that in your first meeting!

Famed anorexic Giuliana Rancic is a Barbizon grad.

If you are willing to work hard and exist on 600 calories per day, you can succeed too OP.

Oh God, they're still around?! I remember them from commercials like these from the 70s and 80s. "Be a model - or just look like one!"

OP, have you looked into Compuet Learning Center? It's good to have a backup in case the remodeling doesn't take off.

Did anyone graduate Stenotype Institute of South Dakota (Sioux Falls campus)? I can’t find it listed in US News and World Report rankings. Is it a party school?

Girl, go for a trade school. Try anything that is medical related and makes coin. For example, an imaging tech. Good luck and god speed!

I'm joining you, OP! Let's room together at the Barbizon Hotel, high above Lexington Avenue. I have an extra lace-trimmed pink satin eye mask for you. But no pillow fights!

Thanks R26 but I’ve already narrowed it down to either Barbizon or Hairmaster School of Beauty #9. If I can’t be a model, at least I can go to Paris and work in the fashion industry.

Ahhhh.

Finally!

Republican queens, telling “jokes”! Or are we Bernie Bros today?

And to think, the joke could have been on me, LITERALLY.

OP. Funny thread. Yes. I laughed.

I’m for this. Older people should model clothes for older people. Men’s fashion in particular are for young and skinny. By definition, if you’re young and skinny you don’t have the money for fashion. The catwalk by for most part use street fashion that’s already being worn by the young.

Hello OP! My name is Pierre and I am a fashion photographer. Please come in. I am looking for some fresh faces with good bodies to do some shadows and light shots with. I am interested in models with confidence who are free with their attitudes.

Like to do this with you Op but I have a face that not even a dog would love. I have the bite marks to prove it.

We had a Barbizon rep come to our HS and give a pitch to the girls. They actually pulled us out of class for this! When she talked about how we shouldn't over use blush almost everyone turned to look at one girl (she was pretty and popular so it wasn't some crushing blow but how embarrassing).

by Anonymousreply 55March 10, 2020 4:59 PM

A Barbizon rep should take Trump aside and tell him to ease up on the orange pancake makeup
