Nylon Model

I’m a male model.

Most of the time, its not a bad job, but there are a few headaches, at least for me.

One of these is my orientation. For some reason, people almost always automatically assume that all male models are gay, and it has been a frustrating experience trying to get people to believe that I’m actually straight.

Makes getting a date a bit of a challenge.

Course, my current gig makes things much harder ....

Two weeks ago, in the office of Matt Marcus’ agent, Carl Anderson .....

“Matt, I have a great gig for you. And best of all, its ongoing, so you’ll get a steady paycheck for at least six months. Sound good?”

“Count me in, Carl. What is it?”

“Well, its ... you may not know this, but a lot of the models used for packages of nylons are actually men. Properly shaven and so on, they actually look better in nylons than many woman do.”

“Wait. I’d be wearing ..... nylons?”

“Yeah. And a ‘gaff’ I think they called it, to keep your male bits from showing.”

“You’re serious.”

“Its good money, Matt. And the offers arent exactly flowing in for you right now. Turn it down, and I dont know how much longer I’d be able to keep you as a client.”

“Okay, okay. So I got to shave my legs?”

“They suggest using a removal cream, its better.”

“Fine. I’ll buy some tonight, and then ...”

The agent hands Matt a piece of paper, and says, “Show up at this address tomorrow morning at nine sharp. Dont let me down, Matt.”

So that’s my current gig. At first, I found wearing nylons a bit odd, but over the last couple of months I’ve gotten so used to them I find myself wearing them even when I’m not shooting.

So that’s why I was wearing them on our date, honest.

So you can stop trying to give me bras and dresses, okay?

And it isnt funny!
