Modeling Fail

Fierce or flirty?

By Seashell Harpspring Published about a year ago 1 min read

Modeling school

Lean back and start on your right foot

Go by how the music feels

Ready for the mall show

Smoke in my eyes

Not enough instructions

I was “too sassy”

Was supposed to smile

But they said feel the music

The music was fierce,

So fierce I gave

Next top model type runway

Or so I thought until

The agency dropped me

The mood was flirty?

I wasn’t stomping…

Heels are loud and clunky!

I felt devastated

Beating myself up

And then approached

By someone who liked my attitude

And then my spinning thoughts

About how I was perceived

All faded away

Me when I used to mall model
