This message was left on my ansafone on Friday:

"Hi, it's [name] calling from [local community publication]. I understand that you have decided not to pursue with us* but I realized in your job interview that you're very photogenic**. We need to prepare our new press kit and wondered if you would be interested in modelling as one of our readers . . . lifestyle shots like toasting champagne and holding tennis rackets . . . "***

Truth be told, I'm not photogenic. I don't represent well on camera. And I thought you can't tell if someone is photogenic until you've taken a picture of them. There were no photos taken in my interview. OR WERE THERE!

Notes:
* not to pursue: So advertising may not be my thing. So I made my interviewing Good Cop and Bad Cop a convincing argument otherwise. So I move on.

** photogenic: pho-to-gen-ic: adj. 1) Attractive as a subject for photography. 2) (Biology) Producing or emitting light; phosphorescent: photogenic bacteria. 3) Caused or produced by light: photogenic seizures.

***toasting champagne and holding tennis rackets: I realize on writing that phrase that I've never done either. Can I play my Jew card? No? Okay, l'Chaim!
