Allen Boys are Discovered!











Check out those models! Last week Lucas experienced his first shot at modeling and a few days later Lance had his turn. It was quite a scene watching the ladies fussing over their hair and makeup and helping them to put on and take off dozens of sweaters. They took to it like fish in water!
It all took place after our good friends the Liptaks were stopped while out in town. An model's agent approached our friends and asked if they would consider having their sons do some modeling for a manufacturer's marketing catalogue. They also asked if they had any friends who would be interested in it as well. Lucas jumped at the chance, but it took Lance a few days to come around to the idea. Lance now has his second shoot on Monday the 18th at our home. As it turns out, several kids that our kids know in the community have done it including our neighbors two doors down. The boys love making some pocket money and are paid on the spot in cash.
The agent has certain sizes that need to be shot, so she lines up the kids as she needs them who meet the height requirement. The boys will be called as they have need for them. What a riot it has been and quite a memory in the making. I'm not sure this will go very far ( we will not be creating any portfolios or seeking out agencies) but they will enjoy it as long as it lasts.
