Nude Models in Paris Protest for Higher Pay
Nude models in France are upset. I suppose I would be too if I were standing naked in the cold in front of a Government building. But I must say, nothing gets me more excited than a nude protest. If I had my way we’d all be naked, all the time. Clothes are for wusses.
But what is the reason that has sparked the protest? France, for some stupid reason, decided to ban tips for nude artists and models. Nude models now have the backing of two Unions supporting their fight for more money.
She said an average wage of 10 euros ($13) an hour for posing sessions that often lasted around three hours was inadequate. She added that models, classified officially as “special diverse personnel,” wanted clearer professional recognition.
“It is a profession, it’s tiring. Because it’s physical, you need a lot of endurance and it’s also expressive,” she said.
I mean, really France. Posing nude for $13 an hour is unacceptable wages for honest, hard work. Especially for something as taxing as nude modeling. Have you seen their resumes? They’re filled with all of the hard work these models put into their jobs - countless hours of standing, sitting, and putting clothes on and off.
France, you have always sucked and now you suck even worse. Let’s be logical and compare nude modeling to all of the super-easy, mindless and stress-free jobs that also pay up to $13 an hour. I believe these speak for themselves about how hard and taxing that nude modeling is:
1) Wal-Mart Customer Service Counter
2) UPS Truck Loader
3) Landscaper
4) McDonald’s Manager
5) Cable TV Guy
6) Babysitter
7) Grocery Store Bagger
Diner Waitress
So France, you mean to tell me that your models aren’t working hard enough to earn more than $13 an hour? We like naked people, they’re fun to look at. Give these models their tips!
