Modeling? ..... Hmmmmm
Wednesday, October 15, 2008

Another reader passed on to me her response from the Procter and Gamble PR people, after having sent them a plea to make me the next Mr. Clean:

"Thanks for contacting us, Kathy. We're honored your friend wants to represent our products but we don't personally choose the people appearing in our ads. We rely on the agencies we hire to create and handle our advertising. Most of these agencies are located in Chicago and New York City and use models from those areas.
If your friend is interested in getting into modeling, he may want to get in touch with a nearby modeling or talent agency. Advertising firms and department stores generally contact these agencies when they need people to appear in ads. We value your loyalty to our products. Thanks again for writing.
Terri
Mr. Clean Team"

Oh, great ... now I've got Madonna's "Vogue" stuck in my mind and can't get it out of there.
BTW: When you get a song stuck in your head and it won't go away ... that's called an "ear worm."

"... I have no explanation for why it works, but there is a cure for ear worms. I believe that I heard this on some NPR show years ago.

Let The Girl From Ipanema run through your head; no need for the words, just the tune. And, believe it or not, it doesn’t get stuck as a new ear worm. It just kind of erases the original worm and self-destructs."; October 15, 2008 1:10 PM
