You want WHAT?!

3:15 AM


The above picture has nothing to do with the following story except it gives me the same feeling.
So I've been doing a little (very little) modeling recently and I have a profile posted on a site called Model Mayhem (www.modelmayhem.com) just for fun. Now I've gotten a few offers most bogus, some genuine, and some genuinely creepy. My favorite so far was an email I just received. I swear to god I am just copy and pasting here. I'm not adding or taking away ANYTHING. Here is the email in it's entirety. Delaney I know you'll like this one.

Hi NN!

I spotted your portfolio today on Model Mayhem and was really impressed. I love your whole nerd look and actually had a possible assignment for you along those lines.

I am a 28-year-old amateur photographer and magazine editor who regularly uses MM to cast photo shoots. I work very hard to keep things professional but it's been hard not to be blown away by the beauty of girls like you! In fact, I've fallen hard for a number of really beautiful young girls --- only to be rejected by all of them. It's been frustrating, but recently I came up with the crazy idea of turning my heartbreak into something silly.

Basically, the idea I had is that I would be the one who gets dressed up like a total nerd/geek and would meet up somewhere with a big group of cute young girls. You and your girlfriends would boss me around, make fun of me, and make me do whatever you want. The more you humiliate me and taunt me with your beauty the better!

Of course, I can pay you for your time! I was thinking like $50/person if you could get a bunch of your girlfriends together. We could do this wherever you want, but I would prefer not in a big public place. It would only be about 15-20 minutes, and I think it could be really fun if you're up for it. In a weird way, it would rhelp me get over my constantly falling for girls that are too young.

Anyway, let me know if you're at all interested. I know this isn't a modelling assignment and I admit it's an unusual request. But I promise you I am a totally normal, polite and discreet guy, completely safe and very professional. It's just that I have this idea I would love to act on one of these days!

I'm attaching a photo of me here so you can see what I look like. I'd love to hear back from you one way or the other. If you're up for it, awesome!! If not, thanks so much for reading this and best of luck with your modelling career.

Hope to hear from you and have a great weekend,

Don

There you have it darlings. I wrote him back just to see if anymore hilarity would ensue.I'll let you know what happens.

oh...my...god. That is one of the creepiest things i've ever read! I love that he still considers himself a "professional" though, LOL.

I picture him looking like Scott Stapp, the former lead singer of Creed, because he's gotten involved in internet turmoil before, in one of my favorite stories of all time...have you ever heard of this:
