Above is Crystals current main pic on Facebook. She is the one on the right making the face. It’s cute, right? I think so. A weird still from an action candid.
I assumed it was her purposely being goofy, but I guess she thinks its sexy or something. Oops.
I left a comment on her “wall” (that’s so gay that they call it a wall) saying I had a nightmare that I was being chased by something that looked like her main picture. I was going to describe that “something” as a flame eyed wispy haired duck that was lunging at me trying to eat my soul, but I went the suttle route instead. Well, either way, Crystal didn’t see the humor. Her response:

lol. I don’t know what Ford Models is (like the car company? guys don’t do car shows. wtf), but its still funny.
I am still new to Facebook though and don’t use it very often, so I’m still learning the rules. Crystal may be entirely correct, I don’t know. Only a handful of my model friends have Facebook profiles, for obvious reasons (same reason I hardly ever use it either – its harder to shamelessly self promote yourself, though that is starting to change with some of their new features and growth), so I don’t have much to compare to. But I’m wondering – maybe Facebook is the opposite of Myspace in the regard that its not considered YOUR-space, its more of a catalog of you for your friends to use as reference points. This would explain its stalker features that notifies your friend list every time you change your relationship status, write a comment on someone elses page or have a bowel movement that contains undigested particles.
I’ll investigate this theory further in my ongoing quest to understand Facebook. In the mean time I have noted the tentative rule on pictures being: shirtless model poses bad, scary lunging forward redeye kissiefaces good.
UPDATE: I Googled “Ford Models” and, duh, they’re a modeling agency. I think I might know someone who’s worked for them actually now that I think about it. They must have a stronger presence in New York (where Crystal lives) than LA.
Their website also contains hardly any shirtless representation though, so her reference seems to be notsogreat. Oops.
