It was a fine sunday afternoon, after church, me and 'na were thinking hard on what to do to kill our free tymes. Sunday has becoming my only holiday lately. So, i want it to be occupied with the most indulging activities, you know just to recharge the battery. We were about to head for our shopping ritual when bright idea comes.
"Why not jakarta?"
"jakarta it is."
So, we landed in PI at around 3 p.m. Desperately needing caffeine, we were looking for starbucks. Too bad all seats were occupied. Hum. why not F bar. The place looks pretty cozy from the outside. To cut the long story short, we did not order just caffeine. We had coffee martini and stawberry margarita. Hah. my first arvo cocktail in a very very very long tyme.
Just a couple minutes after our long drinks arrived, i noticed a bunch of too good looking hunks standing around the corner. Is this a babelicious-happy-hour or what? And then and then, out of nowhere a very2 cempreng voice breaks the cool. As i turned around i saw, a skinny guy in skinny jeans, gucci belt and satin tight shirt. his eyebrows are shaved and shaped. His hair, well guess what, it's blonde. "ayo models, come come okay. you handsome here and you there. enter then talking talking together first and walk there"
Hah. we were in the middle of a fashion show rehersal. Good martini and good sight seeing. cant get any better than this!
Anyway, as i watched those good lookin hunks walking down the runway, i got into thinking. "Yea, they are looking fine and all. BUT, Would we, normal red blooded women, be wanting to date those models in real life?
When we are talking about female models, that's a different story. Most of my male friends would love to date models. Of course some of them would prefer regular gurls, but i'm just saying in general, female models do raise a high stake in our normal dating circle. Sering denger kan, pacar si A model ini, terus si B lagi ngecengin model ini. BUT, none of my gurlfrens in my 21 years of life, had ever been involved with a male model. They even never mention that they want to have a model boyfriend. So dating a male model is not as appealing as dating a female model. you think?
Well, i remembered back in junior high, all the gurls at school were competing to date the best looking boy. But the obsession for pretty face stopped as soon as we reach high school. Even in high school, i no longer search for the handsome face, but the cool bad boys.I was looking for the leader of the bad boys group, the ones that got detention every weekend, got friends everywhere, got gurlfriends here and there. You know, cool wins over face. As we grow older, we look for qualities yang lebih berat. Good education, good upbringings, maturity, clean records, financial stability, HELLO, looks dont even make it to the list!
so, i dun think i would ever want to date any of those runway blokes. What about actor or musicians? hum. let's see. ariel peter pan - no. arie wibowo- not really. vj daniel - enggak juga. okay, may be WON BIN or takeshi kaneshiro -yes, yes, yes! or josh duhamel or ryan seacrest(iya kale, siapa juga yang gak mau!) Huh? jadi bingung juga. jadi apa yah batesannya antara those celebs that we want to date or not want to date?
Then, i got into thinking.. then who dates all of those pretty boys from the fashion show? Well, i dun have a male model friend, although sum ex-boyfrens had been offered to become models, thank God they turned down the offer. ha!. My female model friends do always date club owners, the guy from a car club or a "michael corleone". Do male models do the reverse? See, my reference is the sex and the city DVDs, so according to carrie bradshaw the movie, these models do date, other male models or a successful older woman. hum. lucky or pity?

In conclusion:
- hard-working ambitious women dont need to worry about not being able to get married after passing the age of 40 because all the ugly looking bachelors are marrying the 20 years old kids. look at samantha jones, she got the best looking younger guy who is not threathen by her success.
- the ordinary looking guys do not need to envy the pretty boys, because the older they get the lesser the number of potential gurlfriends they will have. However, as the ordinary guys grow older to become a real man, there will be an increase in the numbers of potential gurlfriends who will chase after them.
- And as for the good looking blokes who strud their ways in the fashion show for a living, keep smiling and be pretty. Because there are many gals like me and na who enjoy an afternoon sight-seeing. Adoration and admiration, those are the two things that other people have to work hard to get, rite?
