Just a Girl From Texas

So, yesterday my daughter ran into her first Hollywood Scumbag. She should have known better, but I understand how she could have gotten fished in. She's done a bit of promotional modeling and finds that it's easy work and pays well. So, she figured she'd sign up with a couple of agencies in LA and make a little extra money while she's studying and building her portfolio. She answered an ad on Craig's List looking for models of all sizes (she's short, so that was an attractive point for her). She gets over there, and the guy started telling her what a loser she is and how crappy her pictures are. Lo! He happens to have "contacts" who can fix her up with excellent "LA style" pictures, for a mere $1,500. Of course, she's too smart to fall for that, but it is dismaying that she even got as far as this creep's office. When he saw that he was going to lose this opportunity, he got abusive and told her, among other things, that she was "just a girl from Texas."

He didn't realize that, for us Texas girls, that is NOT an insult.

Idiot.

I guess it's not entirely his fault. After all, he's just a jerk from LA.
