    Magazine Photographer A Sexy Job?

    I happen to catch this story on CNN.com on "10 Sexy Jobs" and guess what one of the jobs is?
    You guessed it! A magazine photographer!

    The top sexy job is a "show girl".
    Are you too sexy for your job?

    Hi Brian,

    I guess that makes the rest of us non-mag photogs pretty mediocre by comparison. Oh dear, now I'm concerned.

    Do ya think I'm sexy? Frankly, I don't really care. lol It's overrated.

    Interesting. Very interesting.

    Did you notice the con was expensive and heavy equipment? And that's bad because...?

    :-O

    Personally, all the travelling it would entail would be a con for me. But then, I'm spoiled. I'm used to sleeping with a beautiful woman every night!

    Funny stuff, but I have to tell you...

    Fun feature, Brian. BTW, it's not a ranking, but simply a listing (IOW Showgirl isn't neccessarily the top sexy job, just the first mentioned).

    Now, I assume the bit is at least partially tounge-in-cheek (as it's trying to be funny), but I can tell you the description of magazine photographer is dead-on accurate.

    I was on deadline this week for a large feature story for a local style magazine, and I went through the entire range of that description.

    I know Steve, but part of the humor is that it is numbered though!

    Ah, Ray. You think you're concerned now? Just wait until I finish my stunt double and PI training, open my club, and start my new job as a hotel concierge.

    THAT will give you something to be concerned about!

    BTW, I'll pass on the makeup artist and showgirl. Sound like too much work...
