Why models? According to J.P. Prewitt, famous hand model of Bulova fame, models are genetically constructed to become something great: “They’re in peak physical condition. They can gain entry to the most secure places in the world. And most important of all, models don’t think for themselves. They do as their told.” It seems only natural for mothers to want their girls going to modeling themed birthday parties. Because of the popularity of shows like America’s Next Top Model, Project Runway, and others, modeling has become a fad readily consumed by our tweenagers and teenie-boppers.
