Lingerie Modeling

Lingerie modeling is a traditional form of modeling in which models will only wear underwear and bra or other sexy and lacy garments. That is why this type of modeling is included under glamour modeling. Lingerie modeling requires much better body tone and proportions than other modeling fields. This type of modeling exposes the models' beauty to maximum limit and also increases their charms. Models engaged in lingerie modeling come in many shapes, heights, sizes and colors. They may be petite, plus-sized, tall or thin models.

Lingerie modeling is widely present in fashion shows, catalogues, photographer's books, websites and calendars. Today, lingerie modeling is practiced more widely as an adult entertainment event, rather than an informative event. Many sports agencies in the United States arrange such modeling events in happy hours. These lingerie modeling shows offer an opportunity for couples to watch together, which is a good opportunity to know the preferences and likes of others.

There is always a great demand for models performing lingerie modeling. Today, more and more teenagers and children are engaged in this industry. Although lingerie modeling industry wants models of virtually all nationalities, black, Latin and Asian models have greater demands. Irrespective of nationality or age, the model must maintain a good body tone, with an active lifestyle involving exercise and balanced diet.

If you want to be a lingerie model, you can either work independently or with an organization/modeling agency. If you decide to work as a freelance model, you need to track assignments and non-exclusive contracts with your own abilities. You must create a good portfolio of photos that shows your personality and earlier assignments. If you sign a contract with a modeling agency, it is their responsibility to expose you to the world. US cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami offer good lingerie modeling future to young models.

The payment for lingerie modeling can vary with modeling agency, show type and model rating. It is often the double of normal modeling rates. The payment is usually above $100 per hour, which can go up to thousands when the show is for major print ad and/or campaign.

Scott Spreitzer NCAA

Professional Handicappers League member Scott Spreizter feels a sense of deja vu entering Saturday's Final Four match between defending NCAA Tournament champion Florida and 2006 runnerup UCLA.

Last year when the two met, it was for all the marbles.

This season, it's for the right to play for them in Monday's championship against Saturday's Georgetown-Ohio State winner.

Spreitzer touted the Bruins all the way in '06 and held futures on them in the 10/1 range.

The Gators gobbled UCLA for supper.

Now it's a dozen months later and they're meeting again, this time in the semifinals.

Florida has remained a 3-point favorite at most places throughout the week, though 3 1/2s were available at BoDog.com Wednesday night.

Currently No. 3 among the week's hottest PHL handicappers, Spreitzer held potentially lucrative futures on Texas A & M, but felt from the beginning that UCLA or Kansas would win the tournament.

Spreitzer can picture the Bruins turning the tables on Florida en route to enthronement this year, if ...

The main thing is that UCLA's backcourt has to keep doing what it has been doing, keep it together, Spreitzer said.

(NCAA Defensive Player of the year and sophomore Darren) Collison has a 3/1 assist to turnover ratio.

He's averaging six assists and two turnovers per game.

UCLA is the best defensive team and is back to playing at a high level of competition.

Las Vegas oddsmaker Ken White made the number 3.

It's a tough game, White said.

UCLA is the best team.

The Bruins have incentive from last year and are bigger and stronger.

They've closed the gap.

Spreizter and White both made Ohio State-Georgetown pick'em, with White leaning to the Hoyas.

They're so explosive, he said.

The game opened Ohio State minus 1, the favorite flopped and then bounced as high as Georgetown minus 1 1/2 before seeming to settle as a pick In Vegas, though Pinnacle Sports and Bo.Dog.com both had the Hoyas as 1-point choices Wednesday night.

I've seen Ohio State getting 1 around town, so it depends where you shop, said Spreitzer, who has ig game going in one of Saturday's contests.

Spreitzer believes Geogetown may be a year away from its time.

The Hoyas started the campaign as high as 50/1 to win the Big Dance at many books, then steadily began dipping around Christmas and New Year's.

I felt they were good enough to make the Sweet 16, but weren't deep enough, especially at guard, and thought that might hold them back, Spreitzer said.

He doesn't put much stock in the argument that the top-ranked Buckeyes are too youthful, however.

They've been playing together so long, it really doesn't matter, Spreitzer said.

So far, the underclassmen are ahead of their youth.

Spreitzer still insists Kansas is among America's top college basketball teams, but he has no complaints about the quartet that got to Hotlanta.

I'm satisfied, he said.

You have four talented teams that are good.

He readily acknowledges, though, that when the band stops playing Monday night, experience well could decide whether Florida grabs the brass ring again.

Experience is incredibly valuable, just looking at what Florida has done in a short time, he said..

They had that losing period, came back to win the SEC and now are playing six games in a short time period.

They already showed last year they have what it takes to win six in a row.

They have a belief in themselves.

They think they're invincible.

Pinnacle's Wednesday night totals on Saturday's games were Ohio State-Georgetown 129 1/2 and Florida-UCLA 130 1/2.

Famous Last Words

...or, are you sure the power is off?

...or, are you sure the power is off?

By Sherlock Tidpit, a jest-in-time technology expert, (and amateur sci-fi investigator of certain rare extra-terrestrial phenomena such as the timid Stippleback Sourpuss, the ever-elusive, wingless Surly Spatterbug, and the invisible, two-tailed Soiled Specklemonger)

A recent survey by WHAMS, (World Hoof & Mouth Society), indicates that more people these days are putting their feet (and in some cases hoofs) in their mouths than ever before.

Evidence suggests that a pandemic plague in frequent flopping, habitual botching, and ubiquitous blundering from such convexed contortions could have a deleterious effect upon the health and well-being of all living things on the planet.

Leading scientific researchers, (just a titch left of centre), attribute this rather odd behavior or recreational pastime to the indubitable fact that humans require a minimum of fifteen minutes of fame during their lifetime (no matter what the cost or the consequences). A minority group of right-wing researchers on the fringes of frank thought and utilitarian understanding argue that this behavior is not unusual or statistically significant since large mammals with feet outnumber mouths by a factor of 2:1 and, in some cases, by as much as 4:1.

Healers from around the globe, (a traditionally spell-binding, pill-popping, and cut-it-out group of practitioners), have however been a tad overwhelmed by the flood of fools showing up for treatment at medical facilities, truth temples, and local fix-it shops.

On the other hand, dentists everywhere, (a traditionally happy-go-lucky lot), are reporting a higher burn-out rate than expected, due to an alarming increase in the rate of emergency hoof extraction procedures performed on hordes of frantic fools turned away by the physicians, hands-on-healers, and snake charmers.

Grief counselors and social workers from every nook and cranny, (a traditionally taciturn group of professionals), are disturbed by the chronic level of under-funding for programs to assist the victims of foot folly whove fallen not surprisingly between the cracks. They will be launching a petition shortly to lobby government officials for more money, or failing that, at the very least ... an opportunity to be touched by an angel, dabbed by the wand of a fairy godmother, or maybe a night out on the town with The Man from Glad.

Transnational financial institutions (a traditionally tight-wad group of titans with a penchant for taboo tattoos) have expressed concern about the never-before-seen deluge in requests from distraught dingbats, wayward wingnuts, and testy tomfools wishing to cash out their savings or cash-in their insurance policies. This unprecedented activity is jamming the phone lines to call centres, crashing computer systems, and overheating the economy leading to a currency crisis, an inflated funny-money supply, and an exponential growth in money-laundering machines (that won't take quarters).

And last but not least, fire-fighters, police and emergency response personnel (traditionally the subject of made-for-TV dramas), are staging sit-downs in order to give their feet a rest and to protest the influx of reality-TV shows starring foolhardy folk who are undermining their job opportunities for walk-on parts, consulting roles, or professional posing gigs as hunks for charity balls and fundraising calendars.

The only bright light on the horizon is a dramatic boost in holiday bookings to Fool's Paradise, (a boon to the flagging hospitality, travel and airline transportation industries), and a firstly quarterly earnings report issued by the U.S. Mattress Manufacturing Industry Trade Group indicating brisk sales in coiled bedding but a plummeting demand for waterbeds since January 2005.

With such a grave situation at hand, the United Nations, the World Bank, and the European Union, not to mention the White House and 10 Downing Street have announced that the following List of Famous Last Words shall be banished forthwith, immediately, and toute de suite from all public speech and discourse.

These drastic measures are being taken in the hope of restoring peace on earth and goodwill toward men (not to mention a very long list of other affirmative action members of society, who for the needs of brevity shall remain forever nameless, at least in this agonizingly arduous article on much ado about nothing of vital importance or cataclysmic proportions in the hitherto inexplicable grand scheme of thingsunless of course one has successfully completed Introduction to Philosopy 101, Elementary Quantum Physics 102, or en for Men 999.)

And, for those who have been waiting, (with baited breath naturally), for the Top 10 Banned Famous Last Words List, here they are:

  • Thats cool - some of my best friends have useless appendages like that.
  • That would be mine thank you.
  • What duck! ...I'm the bleeding Fickle Finger of Fate for pete's sake!
  • Now I ask you, what would the Truth Turtle do in this situation?
  • Oh dont be so superstitious!
  • These are the good kind of mushrooms, (Martha told me so).
  • Look, if The-Great-Sees-All-Knows-All-Spirit-of-Everything doesnt need them, neither should you!
  • Okay, so who let you into the gene pool?
  • I can do this with my eyes closed ... but what does this little button do?
  • The odds of that happening are a million to one!
