I want to know how that photoshoot went down.
"Hey, Yolanda, we'll give you a thousand bucks if you let some guy who couldn't make it in Hollywood blow smoke in your face from a few inches away. But you have to pretend you like it."
Normal Tuesday for a model working in advertising.
To pretend to bite, because advertising food is covered in poison.
They need to get "creative" when the food will be under hot lights for hours, being photographed. I don't excessively detest that. When it comes to someone eating it, they generally use a real, but idealised item (e.g. the very best bits of lettuce, artistically arranged).
One of my favourites is MasterChef. The cooks actually make several dishes. 1 is immediately tasted, 1 is purely for close-up shots. The last is for extra material. They need more from the judges, or cover for issues. They often have to do a reshoot, only with cold food. They need to act like it's the fresh dish they dried previously.
You can tell his in some shows. They are remarkably dainty in their mouthfuls, despite raving about it.
Very little food is wasted in shows like that. The camera crew etc happily make short work of it.
Not anymore, well, ok not as much.
It's adorable that you think that she'd get paid anything like $1,000.00 for that ad. Quick search shows that an art model made about $12.00/hour. A top model like Twiggy could make $30,000.00 a year.
It's also amusing that you think that getting smoke blown on you was considered abnormal at the time.
Haha yeah I thought just after I hit post, she probably got WAY less than $1000. Even inflation adjusted, probably still not.
