I agreed to model for a friends art class and was absolutely humiliated...
When I first moved to this city I was poor and struggling to make ends meet. I had started a new industry at an entry level position, I waited tables on the side and had a lot of bills to pay off. I had just broken up with an ex boyfriend and filled my time with my career. Now I run my own branch.
I appreciated people with the drive to create something new and work hard to do it. I think that's why I felt inclinded to help. (Also, Im kind of going through a sexual exploration since I just got married and feel more open about things. Just last week I got naked after work and almost got caught doing it).
Last night one of my employees, Brad, mentioned to a group as we were packing up, that he created a photography class at night called Booze and Click. Brad is in his 30s and new to the job, but he's a nice guy who works hard. He was panicking because that night he had a ton of new clients/donors coming and this was his chance to get the word out. But his model backed out. He couldn't find a replacement.
As everyone left the office I felt compelled to stop him.
I asked what he needed. He explained that a huge group of adults were coming to practice their boudoir photography skills and drink alcohol. It was fun and informative he said.
But he needed a model to be dressed in lingerie to pose for two hours while he instructed others to take photos.
I asked what happened if he didnt have a model. He said he was fucked. He had spent weeks trying to get donors to this event and needed it to be perfect.
"I'll help." I apparently said. I couldn't believe i said it. But the words came out of my mouth. His jaw dropped.
"I mean, um, if I am, like, what you need." is some form of what I said.
"You would be perfect!" He said. "Are you sure you want to pose like that? Do you have experience?"
I started to answer but he stopped me.
