It's hot and I'm sitting shaded by trees at a Cal State Fullerton coffee shop waiting for this month's model, Alie Layus, to show up. I have a few minutes to spare so I stare at what college girls look like these days. Not too shabby, but I realize that there are only a few things better than doing an interview with, quite possibly, the most beautiful girl on campus. But this face-to-face sit-down is a guarantee that I won't get ticketed for anything.
Alie strolled up, hiding behind these big Gucci-style sunglasses, but I saw that she stood up to the beauty that the camera captured just the other day. She's got a certain style that grabs your attention right from the get-go. We small-talked for a minute, but since she and I stole spots in 30-minute parking, we cut the foreplay short and went right to it. We wrapped up 45 minutes later-I didn't even mind the $15 ticket. Shoot, I got her phone number, my foot in the door, and future opportunities to kick it. If anything, I got away cheap. Hate me, you fools.
2nr: What made you get into modeling?Alie: I never thought I'd get into the import scene. I want to do more mainstream commercial stuff.
2nr: But in the meantime, how long have you been doing shows?AL: It's been about a couple years now.
2nr: What will you be doing after you get tired of shows-what's the 5-year plan?AL: My life is fuckin bananas right now! If you asked me that question five years ago I know I wouldn't be telling you that I'd be modeling. What I can tell you is that in five years I'll be happy and be making lots of money-and hopefully I'll have someone that'll be taking care of me!
2nr: Whoa! I'm not saying that you're a gold digger...AL: Not THAT way. I just want someone to spend some time with me. I'm not talking about money because in five years I'm going to have my own money, my own car, my own house.
2nr: Just a guess, but it may seem that you changed your notion against dating "nice guys". I don't know ... are you still looking for a guy to beat up your emotions?AL: Yes, I've changed. I'm done dating assholes.
2nr: Are you sure? I mean, we're never assholes in the beginning.AL: Yes! And it seems that I've been meeting a lot of nice guys lately, but then again I always tend to meet weird guys! My friends are always wondering why I can't meet anyone normal. The last guy I tried to date...I found out that he went to cosmetology school.
2nr: Wait, you couldn't tell he went to cosmetology school? I mean the guys working the makeup counter at the mall aren't exactly subtle.AL: He was...like...gay...but he wasn't gay. He freaked me out one time because he asked to borrow my mascara because he had to put on his goatee. The last guy I dated cheated on me.
2nr: Well, don't you go on feeling that you're striking out. But just to let you know-that's two swings.AL: That's why I want the nice guy now. I want a nerd!
