Are you attractive and/or excellent?

Why hello there, I didn't see you come in.

You might remember us talking a little while ago about the order your born and how that may or may not help determine parts of your personality.

Today, I'd like to talk about how attractiveness mucks around people's personalities too.
Being a nearly world famous photographerguy I've had to deal with a model or two. Models for the most part, are generally treated differently to most people from early teenage years.
At this point, I'd love to make all sorts of generalisations like; all people love to generalise, but most of the male and female peeps that have sultried into my camera have been pretty decent. Understand that photographic models are quite different to catwalk models. Catwalk models are tall and thin and have everyone asking them if they are a model. Photographic models are heaps more normal, but tend to be a bit unshy and usually have nice skin, big eyes, etc; features that people won't notice straight away.

I've always thought attractiveness is a lot like being rich. Attractiveness has always been a type of currency. People are drawn to you but you're never really sure if it's because of who you are or what you've got. How can you be happy if you're never sure if people really like you?
What makes attractive and rich people different to most others is that they have to learn coping skills for way more attention. Some become jerks; talking about what they've got and guarding it protectively, some become hilarious; people are listening so you might as well use it to make their lives better, some people become shy and some people sabotage themselves to get out of the limelight.

I took photos of a very modelly looking girl a few weeks ago, tall, blond, etc, who really liked the shots. She recommended me to her friend who I took shots of on Sunday. They were both fun and sharp, but being best friends they had a very clear relationship. The more modelly one was the boss, she called the shots and the other sucked up to her by buying her stuff and doing heaps of favours, it was all a bit wrong, but I figured through various comments that they are both deeply jealous of each other. The more modelly one is clearly guarding her own attractiveness and trying her best to cut down the other, the other is letting herself be cut down to fit in. I saw a photo from a few years ago and she fit the model bill perfectly. Perplexing.

The girl I met from the internet a while ago had said that she had let herself gain heaps of weight because she was blond haired blue eyed with good chestage and quite over the attention. Now, she's ready to go back.

Anyway, in summary, I like sunshine.
