I know my hair is very nice but I have no intention of being a model.

And I don't recall ever registering an account there. Given that my profile is empty but for a wrong date of graduation, a display name I never use and a birthday that would make me, oh, 7 years old this year, I'm very sure I've been added without my permission. Gah.

I am tempted, though, to send in a full response to this since they're soliciting me to do "work that [I] love". Hurr hurr.
