A little over a month ago I blogged about the size of the average man (read entry). Basically, on a Tuesday, I had my coworker take my measurements because I wanted to order a Halloween costume, which I never did order and I still don't have one. With my measurements, I came to a realization: my body/physique is way better than the average man. (Not trying to be cocky - it is what it is.)

I wondered to myself, What can I do with this body? At that time, I was also tired of hard work. I wanted to just get paid to do easy stuff. A light bulb turned on and I went on Craigslist > Gigs. I forgot what I searched, something along the lines of "fit model" or "Asian male", which yielded very few results, but there was that one result that was just calling out my name. It was looking for a fit model and the requirements were simple:

• Asian
• Mid-to-late 20s
• 40-inch chest

In the tone of Chandler Bing: Could that be any more me?


I emailed them that night, and the next morning, on Wednesday, I got a reply back from them, the modeling agency. We exchanged emails back and forth, and I ended up going into their office at noon to take my measurements and pictures. After that, they passed on my information to a very famous fashion-apparel company, and later that afternoon, the modeling agency called me back and told me that the company wanted to meet with me to take my measurements and pictures that Friday.

I went in Friday morning and they asked me undress to my underwear to take my measurements, so I did. Then, they took some quick snapshots of me (clothed). This information was taken to pass on to the designers to see if they want to use me.

It's been about a month now and I thought they went with someone else, but the modeling agency just called me earlier and told me that the company wants to use me this Thursday. Easy money, here I come!
