I applied for a gig as a shoe model. I received an encouraging response but then the company told me that I wasn't in their demographic (18-35). I replied saying that mature girls wear cool shoes, too. Didn't get the gig but I got the last word!

LOL I love doing shoe modeling anything to do with the foot really ..they typically don't like that I have tattoos I didn't know age mattered with a foot :( But golly that is the advantage of living in NY such opportunities, and I know for sure when one door closes another opens..and if not kick it in with your shoe!

Haha, yes, I guess more than my feet were going to be in the shots. You're right, @Merlowe,There are a lot of opportunities here, but also a lot of hits and misses. It's a full time job looking for jobs. A lot of emails, texts etc. to score one job. hope ur feeling better.
