We have been offered $1500 to put C in a catalogue for a toyshop.
The big blue eyes and blonde fluffy hair are a novelty here. People stand in front of the pram in supermarkets, preventing escape and say Que olhao! Ele vai fazer sucesso hein! Check out those eyes! He's going to be a success!
Hmmm...
You can imagine that working for an NGO in South America doesnt pay very well....you can also imagine that the cost of living in this big city is high...and having a baby implies extra costs...
But you can imagine that the baby modelling world must be an awful place, full of desperate mums and tired kids. Full of competition, brown nosing, crying, lights, fashion. Imagine.
Votes - to gain or not to gain?
PS. If C makes money its not going into a college fund, its going into a holiday or some interior design for the apartment!
Why don't you give it a try. It may not be as awful as you think and the money would be very useful. We had a similar offer when you were small and Bryn absolutely refused but now I think we should at least have had a go and then decided not to do it.
ReplyDeleteClearly I vote YES
ReplyDeleteI say do it whilst he's still too young to understand. When he's old enough to start posing for the camera you might want to rethink!
ReplyDeleteDo it! Though save some money for traveling with his uncle in August...
ReplyDeleteI vote YES too! It's not going to hurt him, he will have no idea what's going on really, except mummy and daddy will be happier (less stressed about money).
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent opportunity it is for you all Good luck xoxo
I also vote yes! Leave aside the 'prejudice' and give a try! Maybe Caetano can even like it and have fun there. If he feels uncomfortable just don't do it again, but I don't see why not trying :)
