Turns out that because of this blog right here, I was discovered by American Apparel in Switzerland. They're in DESPERATE need of models (let's face it: all the tall blondes there are kind of mutants), and they came across my website and knew I might have what it takes to model SPANDEX DISCO PANTS and make them super popular with the blonde mutants.
Oh baby, can I ever.
Pictures like this must have been what sealed the deal.Let me share the email that is about to launch my modeling career.
Hello!
My name is Danijel and
I am a fashion creator and i work for various fashion centres in switzerland. At the moment i have a job from american apparel switzerland.
They opened 2 stores last year! I really dont know how is that whit these spandex dicco pants by you over there, but here in switzerland these pants are not famous! Thats the reason because i need you!
It would be not a problem, to fînd a model here for a shooting but for only these few pics that we need, we really dont want to waist our time. we are salers no photographers :) So i have the exercise to find some girls, which want show us some pisc. We must search on the web, because here is nobody waer these pants. We want to improve the situation on the market, and thats difficult whit only 2 stores! Our sector is especially the DISCO PANT and SPANDEX LEGGINGS! We want to bring these trend back in live!
And now that, what interest you:
why you? we have 2 things what we want to do whit your pics if we like them:
1. we manufactured posters of you and show these as advertisements.( one for example infront of each store).
2. we bring you into our fashionmagazine 2010 for our clients.
and another important: if we will choose you, you get a prize of 250 swiss francs!
At the moment we have 3 girls, wich send us some photos.
Deadline is the end of Januar!
-we choose 3 pics, in front, from back and from side (thats the stances).
-Its not important where do you make the pics, but you must be the only person on picture.
The pictures must be clear!!!
-If you decide to send us some pics of you, look that is the pant tight on you, and if you wear a shirt or a pullover look thats no longer until your hips!
( we must see the pant)
-and please dont forget: only black spandex disco pants and Leggings
For last: dont think to much!
This organisation is only for us. Much more pics we have, much more we can choose and your chances are better.
You have few pics on your blog, but these are not right for us!
Take a digital camera and lets make some pics of you.
Sorry for this long long mail but now you know more and all important things.
Hope you understand???
And I really want you for our publicity because you looks great!
Its dont a joke!!! please give me an anwser, ok?
And really, you have talent for this bussines, i see this.
greeting, Danijel
Obviously, I got on this opportunity immediately. Here was the response I just sent.
Hi, Danijel,
Thanks for emailing me, I'm really excited about this! Ever since the car accident last year, where I lost my leg and both my eyebrows, it's been hard for me to find clothes that make me feel attractive and really complement my new body type. I can't wait to put on some disco pants, tie up the empty leg, and take some good photos to send you!
So when should I start packing for the fashion magazine shoots in Switzerland? If I'm going to move there to model disco pants, I think it's probably time to break up with my boyfriend. It's a new start for me anyway, and as a model I'm sure I'll find someone more attractive and with a better job than a doctor. Seriously, he's always performing life-saving surgery on some kid -- I'm tired of being ignored! This will show him!
Thank you for recognizing I'm more than a missing leg and a pretty face. I do have a talent for business, and I'm excited that I can get into this well-respected one. I have some big ideas for American Apparel, which I'm sure you're going to love. One freebie: elephant ear capes. Oh my gosh, it's going to be huge. Anyway, I should probably go ahead and find some disco pants and get started. Can't wait to see you! Ciao!

Readers: I could tell you otherwise, but it wouldn't be true. I'm totally going to forget you when I'm famous. Until then, however, I want to hear about the best email you've received from a complete stranger. Tell me in the comments!

bahahahahah "...tie up the empty leg" ahahahahahha. Your response is brilliant. I so hope you sent it to him. lol!!!
In other news, your hair is FANTASTIC!
You had me at the title of your blog, however this post was hilarious and made me deeply jealous! Because come on! What kind of terrific blogging material is that handed to you on a fricken silver platter!
I'm sorry to hear that you'll forget about us when you are famous modelling in Switzerland. What a pity.
As for me, I once got an email from presumably a man, who wanted to buy my rolling pin. It would seem I had written a rather pornographic post about my rollingpin, and apparently Mr.Punjabi thought the rolling pin may have indeed been a novelty item. I still like your offer better.
Never have I received anything even close to being that awesome.
Thank God it's spandex disco pants and not some other stupid fad like bell bottoms. I mean, you wouldn't want to look stupid, right??
I had to back up and read this saga from the beginning! FUNNY! Your sarcasm is definitely lost on poor Danijel. By the way. That pic you jokingly made reference too that might have piqued their interest, Corn Palace, eh? My friend and I drove out of our way to go check that thing out after rock climbing and camping around the Sioux Falls, SD area one Memorial Day Weekend. Wow, pretty neurotic, really. There's not much else to that town.
