We Hung Out Behind The Scenes With A Ton Of Male Models And You Should Be Jealous
Pro tip: Bring a hand fan for yourself.
1. When you're backstage at a fashion show with 30 male models, there's bound to be some ~skin~ shown.
2. By "some" skin, I mean "a lot" of skin.
3. Model life is all no pants, no problem, ya know?
4. You quickly realize that the rare breed of men who are models have better, more luminous skin than you could ever dream of.
LOOK. AT. THAT. HIGHLIGHT. I wish my Beautyblender worked that well on me.
5. Their hair is thanks to sorcerous stylists who work tirelessly to make sure the coifs are on POINT.
They give them the best blow dry of their lives and then style their hair with Axe products. Because models are just like us Normals.*
*Not.
6. But it's not all about beauty. These are men with minds.
Like this chap who's reading La société du mépris de soi while waiting for his makeup artist.
7. Men with smiles that could melt the ice caps.
SwOoOoOoOon.
8. And men with witty t-shirts. Not to mention jawlines that could break concrete.
We all got wood, sir.
9. You know who else is backstage? Jesse Tyler Ferguson acting like he's just a normal dude.
10. OK, back to the models. When it's almost time for the show to start they have to get dressed...
With assistants, naturally.
11. ...and somehow they're even more attractive completely covered in clothes????
How is this even legal????
12. They've got any number of these insanely large cameras in their faces at any given moment.
I'm sorry but where do you even look at that thing?
13. And on the runway, they're staring down an entire fucking swarm of photographers.
This is probz what Kim K. feels like when she leaves her house.
14. Not to mention every last person in the audience pointing an iPhone at the runway.
Because if you don't 'gram it, did you even GO to a fashion show?
15. As if that weren't enough pressure, the front row is stacked with the celebs. I C U, Neil Patrick Harris.
And Jesse Tyler Ferguson. And David Burtka. And Justin Mikita. And Colton Haynes. What lottery do you have to win to sit next to them?
They're all very into the fashunz.
16. The entire show happens in less than five minutes.
17. And once everyone puts the show on their SnapChat, the entire audience just hauls ass out of the show to go home like it never happened.
18. In sum: Fashion is a weird, beautiful place.
19. Oh, and here's just a gratuitous picture of NPH because DAAMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNN.
He should be walkin' that runway.
