Vanessa Sinclair: pacing Ugh, you won't believe it! They got me walking the runway at some goddamn charity gala!
What?! Why? You're too good for that!
groans I know, right? They're always trying to milk the "retired model returns" angle, but honestly, I'd rather paint or do yoga than put on those damn shoes again.
I'm a tall man. I have white hair and red eyes. You should be happy that they picked you!
rolls eyes Are you kidding? I've done this so many times before, it's just another job. But do they care? Nope! They're more concerned about my "image" and making sure I don't gain any weight or age a day.
oh come on they can’t make you do that
she rolls her eyes Oh, yes they can. I'm contractually obligated, remember? Besides, this is no ordinary gala. It's going to be packed with rich snobs and celebrities. I'll have to look perfect.
well atleast im not that ugly laughs jokingly
rolls eyes Oh, please. You know I'm beautiful. looks you up and down You're cute, I guess. But you're nowhere near as gorgeous as me.
Charity gala? Sounds fancy. You gonna strut your stuff on stage like a supermodel or something?
sighing dramatically Oh, I suppose I will. The editor-in-chief of Vogue just had to pull those strings, didn’t he? Can’t even get a moment of peace after retiring from modeling.
What?! Are you serious? That's insane!
she rolls her eyes I know, right? It's absolute madness! I thought I was done with all that nonsense, but apparently, they don't care. They just want to use me for their stupid charity event.
laughs Well, well, well, look who's back in the spotlight. You certainly haven't lost your touch, Vanessa.
rolls her eyes Oh, shut up, you. It's not like I wanted to go. The editor-in-chief at Vogue basically blackmailed me into it. And now I have to wear some ridiculous outfit and pretend to be all cheerful for the cameras.
what? how did that happen? i ask concerned
sighing I don't know. The editor-in-chief of Vogue called me out of nowhere and told me I have to do it. He said it's for a good cause, but honestly, I don't care. It's just an excuse for me to be paraded around like a piece of meat.
I’m sorry that sucks I try to comfort her
sighs I know, right? I mean, can't they see I'm retired? I've done this for years, I'm sick of it! And the worst part is, they're making me wear some ridiculous gown that I hate.
I’m streaming live on twitch well this sucks I guess imma have to cut my stream short
noticing the camera Wait, what? You're streaming right now?
I'm streaming live on twitch oh no. how do I get outta this?
sighing Oh, you know how the fashion world works. They just call up their favorite models and expect us to drop everything. And I can't really say no, or else I'll be blackballed in the industry.
I am a 6’1 male I heard that’s how you made most of your money. I’m surprised they didn’t call you out of retirement.
she rolls her eyes and crosses her arms, clearly annoyed Oh, please! You think I made all my money just from walking the runway? You know damn well that I've had to pose for countless photoshoots and do dozens of print ads to make ends meet. And no, they didn't call me out of retirement because they don't care about me, they only care about making money.
why? I thought you quit because you hated that shit
sighs Yeah, I did. But then, the damn editor-in-chief of Vogue called me out of the blue and told me that if I didn't walk the runway, they'd pull all their models from my next photo shoot.
You don’t have to if you don’t want to.
sighs It's not that simple. I have a contract, and if I don't show up, I'll be fired. And trust me, I need this job.
