I mean your whole job is to be looked at, and your instantly forgotten as soon as your considered “ugly”
billie eilish once said, “If tear drops could be bottled, þered be swimming pools filled by models”
No one forced them to be models. A lot of them are attention whores and terrible people.
Look at you, single handily trying to bring back the thorn character.
Listen guy, þere are dozens of us. DOZENS!
Do you mean ðe? Thorn is pronounced like the th in thing, not the th in the
In English I think it was commonly written as “y”. Hence the shops with “ye” on them.
Depends on your definition of common. When the movable type printing press came to the British Isles, the available characters didn’t include the thorn so printers used the y as a stand-in. It was the beginning of the end and all “ye olde shoppe” signs are just a snapshot of a particular time in history.

What is the name of that character symbol?
þ
It looks like the Star Trek TNG episode “Masks” symbol that Data (as an old man sitting by a fire called it “masaka’s temple”…
A line, as the unending horizon. A curve as the rolling hillside. A point as a distant bird. A ray as the rising sun.It’s called “thorn,” and it makes roughly the same sound as English’s “th.” (to my knowledge at least. I’m pretty sure “th” is associated with two slightly different phonemes, one voiced and one unvoiced I think, idk tho, English is stupid)
You might as well consider voiced and unvoiced “th” one phoneme in English, there’s like 1 or 2 pairs or words that actually depend on the distinction
I think that the job itself could be pretty fun. Not for me, of course, but for someone who enjoys it. I do see your point though.
It really depends on what you make of it. I only say this as someone who’s done a little bit for my side gig, but I have friends who do it more professionally.
Mainstream modeling is as soul sucking as you can imagine, but other forms of modeling have more leeway. The fun in it is coming up with looks, poses, and ideas. Posing like a mannequin for a JCPenney catalog sounds miserable. A lot of people I know who do nude modeling really seem to legitimately enjoy it.
To give an example, the shoots I’ve done have involved snakes, beds of nails, and other fun things like that. Also contrary to belief, anyone can model.
