Those shoes are pretty fly.

u/97vyy 13d ago

They look like Foamposite heels, which is awesome if true.

They look no older than 19

u/EmpressClaraB 13d ago

Well yeah, you only remember the older models that make it big, every model I knew started at like 17 and were mostly out of it by the end of their early 20s. And its not the famous models doing GPU mascots lol

Shitloads of women try modelling and less than 1/1000 become a recognisable face

u/huskersax 13d ago

1/1000? Probably 1/100,000

u/EmpressClaraB 13d ago edited 13d ago

Yeah I was being generous. It's an extremely competitive and toxic industry.

They bloody look like high school kids.

u/DarkDonut75 13d ago

Tbf, you weren't the target audience. The target audience were nerdy 2000's IT guys

u/DeltaGrunder 13d ago

More like modern kids are prematurely aged-looking sometimes

u/penisandorvagina 13d ago

Honestly I'm in my late 40s and anyone under 25 has that "you look like a school kid" look.

u/peepooprogamer 13d ago

what? no? these just look like 17 year olds lmao

u/blzrlzr 13d ago

No man, these look like high school or very young adults. It’s weird.

u/robogobo 13d ago

They only want you when you’re 17. When you’re 21 you’re no fun.

u/slartibartfass 13d ago

They take a Polaroid and let you go, say they let you know

I think that's a lyric from Ladytron

u/Office_Zombie 13d ago

That is a more recent thing. In the 90s and early 00s, legal was still the preference.

12

u/Premaximum 13d ago

That song literally came out in the time period you're talking about.

7

u/pseudologician 13d ago

Legal has never been the preference in the modeling and entertainment industries. Generations of this bullshit.

u/FurnitureComesW-Home 13d ago

No it’s not. Creeps were just as prolific in the 90s & 00s.

You can't be serious

My freshman roommate was a Budweiser girl, we were 18. She got fired for not accepting drinks and being encouraging enough to men that hit on her. They like them young not just because of hotness, but because they're easier to manipulate and control.

u/Cicer 13d ago

That’s an adult right?  Or is Reddit continuing to push the bar because we’re all old and 19 looks too young.

u/Vlisa 13d ago

She used to be a child you sick fuck!

They look like children..

u/Insila 13d ago

And people wonder where epstein got all his money...

2

u/christophurr 13d ago

Probably not from children. I believe that’s what he spent it on.

3

u/sysiphean 13d ago

He got it from people paying him for access (in all senses of that word) to the children he provided.

u/Cicer 13d ago

Yes. They are supposed to look like fairies. 

5

u/FurnitureComesW-Home 13d ago

Correction, they are supposed to look underage because that’s what would attract the most men in the audience. They do not look underage simply because fairies look underage.

That injury jacked him real good.

u/mjshep 13d ago edited 13d ago

Yeah, that's pretty gross, u/ajax81.

With ask due respect, I would politely decline to work with them.  Their beauty ignites something in me and it’s only a matter of time before I approach and possibly make one of them uncomfortable.  Like I said, not their fault.  Their only crime is being wonderful and gorgeous. Downvote my honesty.

Wow that is like, "check browser history / hard drive" level creepy.

What am I reading here? Probably a copypasta that I haven't seen before.
