Imagine, you're walking through your local city or town and on a wall you spot a brightly coloured flyer.

"MODELLING OPPORTUNITY: NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED"
"ALL APPLICANTS WELCOME"
"£££ PAID ATTENDANCE £££"
"OPPORTUNITY FOR FURTHER WORK"
"APPLY TODAY: +44 .........."

Curious, you text the number:
"Hi, I'm interested in your ad. What else can you tell me?"

You continue with your life, but that night you receive a text.

"Thank you for your message! We'd be delighted to tell you more. We're filming this Saturday and we need actors/actresses. Please let us know your clothing size and arrive wearing what you might wear to a club (think bodycon dresses, leather or skinny jeans and a muscle fit shirt). £50 cash in hand payment will be provided once shooting is finished. We'd love for you to attend, please let us know your name and come to ... Street for 3pm."

You accept the offer at once.

Saturday rolls around and you arrive at the door. You buzz the intercom and you are promptly welcomed by a young man. He smiles and welcomes you inside. You're guided up the stairs and into a living room, where there are 5 girls all waiting patiently. Chill house music plays from a speaker and your nose is greeted with a sweet smell, like freshly baked cakes or cookie dough. The TV on the wall is showing shoots of models, some posing for perfume or hair products and others in wetlook attire, with huge smiles on their faces. There are snacks and drinks sitting out on the middle table and you're asked if you can wait to be called in.

Time goes by and you make conversation with a few of the girls. They all saw the same flyer and were excited to make some money. Your name is finally called and you're guided by the same young man to another room.

In the middle of the room is a couch with a plastic cover on it. There's a camera pointed straight at the camera and a small coffee table and chair adjacent to the couch. The young man sits down, he smiles and asks how you are. After some pleasantries, he explains that this is a paid interview for modelling work. The next few questions will determine if you are suitable for the role.

He asks where you're from, if you have any modelling experience, your availability, then finally he asks if you're comfortable with taking some shots. The young man assures you there is no expectations here, it's purely to have a try.

You oblige and the camera gets to work, there are flashes of light and you pose like you've never posed before. The man then asks that you pose with products. He hands you perfume bottles, foods etc. Finally he compliments your outfit and asks where you got it and what it means to you. You explain its something you used to wear going out with friends but otherwise its just another item in your closet. Finally he asks if you wouldn't mind doing some wetlook shoots, like the ones you saw earlier on the TV. The interview has gone so well so far and you're having a great time. You explain you'd be up for it, why not? A bucket falls from the ceiling and you're doused in warm water. The man directs your posing and you go along with it. "What about custard, we have a lot of business modelling mess". You laugh, its an odd proposition, but you say why not. It could be fun.

Just then, you feel a warm sensation down your back and over your head. A thick mixture coats your face and slops down onto your lap and down your legs. Your shoulders, arms and chest are all covered in the yellow custard. The sweet taste hits your tongue and you enjoy the overwhelming sensations of this custard coating.

You wipe the goop out of your eyes and off your face. There are flashes and the camera shutters sound. The man asks: "How was that, do you feel ok? Are you up for more?". You laugh and say yes. This experience was not what you expected, but it sure will be a story to tell!

This time a smooth, cool purple mixture covers you. Now you're smiling wildly. The purple mix glides over the thick custard. "How about some pies?" asks the man. At this point you're loving it. "Yes!" you shout and a creamy pie swiftly flies into your face.

"Fantastic!" shouts the man, "you're perfect!" You wipe your face and smile through the sludge coating your every inch. The man concludes the interview and guides you to a bathroom where a fresh towel and change of clothes are waiting.

Once your finished, you're thanked for your attendance, given your cash and told you'll be contacted soon for future opportunities.

Till next time...
