Written for Crispina’s Crimson’s
Creative Challenge #071. I chose Pic #1.
Here’s where the image took me.
Angelina had practiced her modeling pose all morning. Head high, ears perked, brilliant white fleece catching the sunlight just so. This was her moment.
“Perfect!” the photographer called. “Hold that pose!”
Behind her, Brad munched grass with his usual elegance …. which is to say, none whatsoever. Legs splayed, neck bent at an ungainly angle, bits of grass dangling from his mouth.
Later, when Angelina saw the photo, she was mortified.
Brad? He got seventeen modeling contracts.

🤣 Well, I suppose you could say Brad’s a natural, even if he isn’t exactly handsome, while Angelina is trying way too hard to project a perfect image. The problem? Animals and people are hardly perfect, so many of them won’t identify with perfect!

Your theory looks good on the paper, Christian. Try telling that to some Hollywood types who believe the sun rises and sets on their every move! 🌅
