A bloody strange thing had happen to me just now.
This thing had just happened approximately 40minutes ago. Time now is 0:53am.
I was on my way back home on a bus, it was quite crowded, but I managed to get a seat around 2/3 of the journey home. The weather was cold today, especially at night, the wind was chilly. Got off the bus, I was listenning to HP7's audiobook as always and walked as fast as I can tried to reach home to get warm.
Then I was stopped by a man, he was around 23 I think, a quite elegant Indian guy and asked me if I am Sarah, of course I said that I am not, he had mistaken me to someone else, and I ignored him, put on my earphones and kept walking, but he kept trying to speaking to me even though I had shown him that I had no desire talking to him at all.
OK, to pay him respect, I stopped and listened to him. He told me that my face stoke him, and asked me whether I want to be taken 30 sets of photos to get 900 pounds. It was just too good to be true. To convince me, he told me that he was a student at Queen Mary's, showed me his student card, and told that he's a photographer at Zara ( a famous fashion store), he's an agent, the company calls him 3 times a month for photograph shooting. He said that he was searching for Asian girl faces and my face and hair style just what he was looking for. He was asking me if I'm willing to be shot for 30 sets of photoes to get 900 pounds.
I laughed, I told him that I don't think I will be suitable for this at all, I know myself, I'm too fat to be a model......it was too good to be true, and I told him so. But he said there was a really good opportunity standing before me, and he only wants face and hair style shootings. He told me that he had found 2 Japanese girls, one was tall, the other one was quite short, and he prefered the shorter one, but his manager will be concerned about the hight. Then, as he told me, he saw me, and my feeling and hight was just right.
He asked me what was the more important thing to be a model other than Physical performance, I said it might be the feeling of that person. Then he started to talk about the concentration tests and stuff. The concentration tests is that I had to stay in a room and try to act if, for example, that I am a 40 year-old office lady, and see if it turns out OK, if I pass the test, then I can take the first sets of photos, if it comes out good, I can continue the photo taking, and in the end, I will be paid 900 pounds,and as the photographer, he can get 750pounds.
It was hell a easy way to get money isn't it? He told me he needs to give the name of the model to his boss by tomorrow, but he needs to talk to me for trail for about 20 mins first, and since he will be busy tomorrow for the whole day, he asked me if I can go with him now. Bloody hell, it's passed midnight for god's sake, I'm not stupid, so I rejected him. He then suggested if 9pm tomorrow will be OK for me, and he gave me his number and ask me to contact him before 6pm to confirm with him, then we departed.
I felt funny, the thing can happen on comic books had just happened on me, though I know that it can't be real, but still I felt interested. So I went home and told my friend about this, as expected, she thought that this can not be real, and that guy is not nice, especially for asking me to go with him this late at night, I agreed, just had a laugh.
So strange isn't it? I just wanted to write it down as a record, maybe using it in my fiction writing will probably be a brilliant idea, don't you think?
