Does anyone know Patsy Whimper? I have been asked to model for her? I am wondering if this is a scam.

Did she say if you could be clothed?

[jervil]

No, but her assistant said she is a fashion designer so I imagine that it is [...] implied.

[eldith]

It may still be good to check.

[jervil]

You know this designer?

[galgoyle]

Yes!!! Very in.

You have to do it. Who called you about it? Or e-mailed you? I can be your agent if you want someone to confirm that it's legit.

A lot of people obsessed with Adventure Society's images lately.

[jervil]

Oh sorry. Is this your department's jurisdiction purview?

[cursorily]

Not at all. Just this and the portraits and I know they were asking around about a calendar last month. Not to mention displaying us in snow globes. We're an attractive bunch, but.

[infurmary]

You are very handsome, I'm not surprised in the slightest to find out you model as well as cook.

[jervil]

Thank you but no, I do not. This is the first time someone has requested this. I am not sure how to proceed.

[infurmary]

Truly? I have used a number of models for my portraiture practice, and obviously they would need someone with great stamina and who can hold positions. You have very shapely calves, no doubt from all of your climbing, it's good of her to notice!

[abracadavers]

Why would it be a scam?

[jervil]

It feels very much like the emails about Nigerian princes.

[abracadavers]

Well as long as Bloody Mary isn't at risk of being summoned unless you pass it along or fork over a cool million for model fees.

It's a good idea to verify this Whimper individual, you've gotten popular through your...book and that brings out some unwanted attention, I'm sure. Have you been harassed?

[wizardjr]

She's a real designer, but I don't know her personally.

[galgoyle]

Do you know other designers personally??

[wizardjr]

Guinevere Lyon and Elspeth Willoughby, but they're more niche?

[jervil]

OK, thank you.

[wizardjr]

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, mate.

[werewho]

Do you want to model?

[jervil]

IDK. It looks fun but also very stressful.

[werewho]

Maybe you could test out how you feel about having your portrait taken before making any modeling promises?

[geminids]

what're you gonna model

[jervil]

Clothes? I am pretty sure
