i'm a hand model, not a hand prostitute

a photo of my hand is currently featuring in 'the body confessional', a photography exhibition in sydney.

the photo was taken a few years ago by the gorgeous miss sophietta's father, who asked me to pick a part of my body him to photograph, and then to write a few words on why i chose that particular part.

i don't remember why i chose my hand, nor what i wrote, but i think i recall that i was wearing hot pink nail polish at the time. i was so wild in my youth.

so anyway, last night miss sophietta texted me to inform me that somebody has purchased the photo of my hand. this is wonderful for two reasons:

1) miss sophietta's father is kindly donating all proceeds from the exhibition to the cancer council of nsw for breast cancer awareness month;

and,

2) i can now add 'hand model' to my resume.

all i need now is an expensive coke habit, a junkie boyfriend, and a reputation for getting my lez on with my friends and i'll fit right into the modeling industry.

Fit into the modelling industry?

Darling, with those thighs you'd have to fit around the modelling industry.

Now, get in the kitchen and bake me some pie.

you are in good company. george costanza was a hand model too.

ps, that link shows a picture but it's not your hand. disappointing, yet at the same time, satisfying.

You know what they say about a woman's hands. Beautiful hands, small nipples. Small nipples, narrow feet. Narrow feet, dainty shoes. Dainty shoes, model industry. Kick that habit idea and the junkie boyfriend. Hands alls you needs.

You forgot the required eating disorder. Bullima or Anna what's it going to be? Personally i would choose Bullima, at least you get to eat something...yeah you throw it up later but the eating part is good.

I like that "Anna" is a hip pseudo for a terrible, though less preferred, eating disorder.

And what is Bullima? You are probably very cool Steph, but fucking with good spelling (without leaving the strong stench of urbane and wit) makes it hard for me to like you.

*sprays self with Eau D'Urbane et Wit*

Yay my first flaming in blog land.Obviously i'm no where near as cool or as witty as you. Ohhh to be like you. And not spelling impaired either!! You are a god among women.

Nice interplay.

But anyway, Nads: I think it's quite an honour that's been bestowed upon you. Well done for not being afraid to take your gloves off and bare those hands of yours in a nude photography exhibit.

I mean, you had the choice of which body part to bare for a nude photography thing, and you went all-out and chose your hands.

Daring!

(I'm not really having a go - it just reads that way. I think maybe I'm tired. Please, no one flame me. I couldn't take it.)

PS - My money's on Anna A Spades. No offence Steph, but I think you misread her. Of course, I may be wrong. What odds can I get for Steph, anyone?

Clearly it's "God" and not "Godess". You surely have some round, hairy ones between your legs, and no i'm not talking about your haemorhoids.

Tuppence said...

Oh my. Accusing a girl of having testicles. Very witty, very urbane. How is it that no one has thought of that insult before? We bow to your superior wit, Staph.


Hope you're feeling better Nads, I'm sorry I gave you my horrible cold. Call me if you need any chicken soup.

October 16, 2005  
Steph said...

Witty and Urbane seem to be the words of the week for your girls. Well done. You're both so cutting edge, so hip, so bitchy, ohhhh it's delicious. I am woman, hear me roar ,and all that.

Steph said...

P.S sorry for hijacking your post Nads. I'm sure you make a HAWT hand model.

well, as a model now, you will need a few tips on how to climb the social ladder, and become one of Sydney's A listers!!!

hahaaha - I can believe someone spent time writing this!!!

No need to cut so deeply just for not using the spell check.

Although, Anna A Spades, by definition, the flagrant use of the F-bomb would apply to yourself about being witty and urbane.

The world is a bitter place as it is. Perhaps intelligence is better used to foster good will instead of just cutting on a fellow blogger visiting this interesting, and admittedly, witty, blog.

Tuppence said...

You mean that witty and urbane people don't use the F-word?

*vows to remember and never use 'the F-bomb' again*

BEVIS said...

Nads, where you at, girl?

The locals are gettin' angry and taking it out on each other.

I hope you feel guilty!

Tuppence said...

Nads is sick. I gave her many germs when we went to watch a play last week. She needs TLC and all our best wishes.

And chicken soup and crappy magazines. They always make me feel better.

Feel better soon xoxo

Anna A Spades said...

I've just realised the gender-bender comment would have been developed off its inclusion of the tricky-to-spell "haemorhoids".

I can make my peace now.

*scratches my balls. Wittily.*

[i.e. scratches my NADS! HAR HAR!!]

...

*apologises*

*behaves*

MelbourneGirl said...

okay it's up to me to pick up on and bow before tuppence's witty 'staph' inclusion

[high fives tuppence]

it was catchy! and golden.

feel better soon nadine

I'm not even sure if the above 'make my peace' statement from Anna A Spades is a reference to her 'conversation' with Steph, but either way, by Steph's own admission (see her blog), she won't be re-visiting Nadstown to read it.

I'm just sayin' ...

Anyway, deathly sick or no, Nads' absence sent the ladies feral. (No offence, ladies - you're all ace.) Don't do it again, Nads. Be sick on your own time. There's a whole town going nuts out here.

There's that word again ...

*scratches*

geez, just caught up on that whole comment saga and fuck girls, none of that shit is cool... Reminds me of why I was petrified of friendships with other girls in high school.

gang mentality
