Lol! So I have been told. Only they prefer I don't go all beserk on em with an M-16 (Scarface Lol!)

And I am more an amature model. Never got into it professionally. Did a few things for a local Men's Fashion store line but that's about it; And frankly I don't wanna go professional. Already have a more rewarding career going Lol!

So I kinda do this to build my own portfolio .

Okay - so the hero alpha male is forced into this position - like, Bruce Willis's character in Die Hard.

The anti-hero, like Batman, makes it his path.

Right on the money. There are other examples of Anti-Heros out there but they don't necessarily go in the alpha male/ female category since they don't necessarily exuberate will of change so to speak.

I can definitely see the Pacino resemblance. I can understand not pursuing modelling professionally. Should something come your way though - when opportunity knocks...... seize the moment.

I think that would be such a truly strange world - the world of modelling. Even with the looks, I wouldn't be cut out for it. The only thing that would get me through anything like that is my ability to laugh at myself, but then, my ability to laugh at others would get me into a lot of trouble. Not the right industry for that.

And most professional models will agree with you all the way. People don't realize just how bad this industry can get. In no way should it be a lifetime career vision because chances are high that you will get cut.

I think a lot of people see the finished product - a magazine cover or ad - and think that's so glamourous. You just have to look at the models that have been in the business a long time to see who cuts it. There's a lot of pressure there and it would bring out your worst.

Speaking before about alpha males and females - who do you think would win the phone throwing contest between Naomi Campbell and Russell Crowe?

Well personally I think both of them needed a bit of time-off in a cell for assault Lol! But in Russell's case, he is a rage-aholic but not a total anger-management case. Meaning, he just gets angry in the moment but then forgets all about it the next day and robably will apologize for his behavior.

Naomi the diva? Not so much...

So I say the award goes to Russell for that reason.

LOL - I think even Russ would be afraid of the diva. Actually, I find Tyra Banks a bit scary at times too.

Have you ever watched that supermodel show that Tyra makes? Whenever it comes down to the elimination part right at the end where it's between the two contestants and only one will stay, it makes me p1ss myself laughing every time. They way she presents it is like she's about to say the most significant thing ever stated to mankind. Too funny. My son likes that show. Mind you, he's 8. I made him watch The Blues Brothers the other night to compensate for the crappy tv he chooses to watch. He'll thank me for it one day.

Ah, **** it! I like those mindless tv shows too. Who am I kidding. I don't mind some mindless entertainment at times. Not a big fan of reality tv shows though. But anything that's got some divas and bitchiness happening is guaranteed entertainment value.

Lol! Well with Tyra, I can forgive some of her antics given the fact that she actually took the idea of models being more then twany little coat racks out of comission with her more curvacious and full figure and her personality.

Not to mention she managed to expand her opportunities by using that publicity and applying it to the media. I think her talkshow won an emmy. America's Top Model? I am not a fan Lol!

Ahem! X. RDJ is just BRILLIANT. That from a purely objective stand-point!

Everything about him is brilliant.

Yes, agreed about Tyra. She's got quite a good business sense about her. And yes, more than a stick object and has a great curvy figure. Her weight/shape seems to fluctuate a great deal.

Tyra looks a bit mean sometimes. She's got some serious Amazonian lady energy about her. She can look really fierce. I wouldn't want to cross that when it has PMS!

Lol! *Sountern Accent* Well I do declare. RDJ is a mighty fine man. Oh... I think I am getting the vapours just thinking about it.

Lol! He played an amazing Tony Stark and he did an amazing Black dude part .

Pheromones.

We can package this. Lets kidnap him. Me for my own purposes. But then we can sell it in a can - like Slurm (if you're a Futurama fan). Or the scent - we can sell it. But really analysing this discussion there's just too many questions that have no real answers here - I mean, not plausible (or clean ones). How do we extract this essence? Hmmmmm. Lets not ponder this.

In fact, lets pretend this conversation never happened. Okay? Okay then.

You mean him doing Russell doing the black dude part. Hey - maybe Russell doing Denzel. God, how many women just had their dreams come true in one sentence. Of course, neither appeal to me sexually. I don't like Denzel. I think he'd be a real prick in real life. Same with Tom Hanks.

And honestly, have you ever seen RDJ in a role where he wasn't brilliant. Truly! And here, I am being objective.

Lets negotiate. ***laughs wickedly at awareness of own brilliant negotiating skills***

How about you start of with a base salary of $1m. A personal secretary. And a luxury company car - how about a Zonda? No, no, something stylish - a Brera? No, no - how about a Bugati Veyron?
