  I
met 6'2" (1.87m) James in 2010 just before he turned 21. I found him
through ModelMayhem.com. That site
features a lot of great looking people of all heights who are working or aspiring
models. He had a few pics taken with a girlfriend but needed more. So he came
over to my house in Hollywood and we took the ones below. James has a superhandsome
face with an unusual jawline a lot like actor David Duchovny. I was just glad I
finally had another model for the "lanky" gallery. I have too many bodybuilders
in my life!
But lanky is what the fashion industry wants because skinny looks
younger. Plus, most Americans are getting fat so skinny looks different. James is
just the right height and build for all kinds of modeling. He is also very
animated and expressive. If I said "smile" or "frown" he just
did it. Many wannabee models have a lot of trouble following direction. And if you
can't smile on command you can't make it in Hollywood. I'm not surprised
that James told me he has already gotten runway modeling work in Las Vegas out of
his photos. |
