American Apparel?

Ok... so as you are all well aware, I'm pretty busted in the flesh but happen to be decently photogenic.  About a hear and a half ago, for shits and gigs, I sent some pictures to American Apparel as they are always looking for "real" models for their campaigns and to model their clothes.  I didn't hear back but I didn't really care.  I only sent pics in the first place because let's face it- some of their models don't even have that pretty of faces or awesomely fit bodies.  However, about a week ago, I was surfing the A.A website looking at new clothes, and I was like: "dude, if some of these chicks can model for them, why can't I?"  So, feeling empowered and particularly attractive that day, I sent some pics.  I expected to hear no response, as that is the way my life generally goes.  However, Sunday, while at work (and only three short days after I'd initially submitted the pictures) I got an email from an A.A. photographer requesting me to set up a time to do a test shoot.  I was naturally stoked (omg, someone thinks I'm good enough for AA!). haha.   The only downfall is that the time they decided on was Wednesday at 2 pm.  I am free wednesday, but I work tuesday night and again on thursday.  I don't mind missing work because let's face it, I fucking hate macehole's.  But I'd have to take a bus down wednesday morning (because even I don't want to skip two days of work... so I'd only allow myself to skip thursday night and still go on tuesday).  I also considered the fact that the test shoot is unpaid, and the rate that an AA model is paid for the 'real' shoot (if my tests were decent enough) would be a measly 10 an hour.  It's not like I'm hot or tall enough to go into more modeling, so this endevour would be pretty pointless.  Plus as we know, the CEO of AA is a major perv with several law suits against him filed for sexual assault/harassment by employees... and some of the ads are highly degrading towards women.  I mailed back the photographer to see if I can change the test shoot to Thursday or Friday.  If that is doable, I will definitely do the test shoot... what do I have to loose except some integrity? hahahahaa.   If they can't do either of those days, clearly it's not meant to be.  I don't want to wake up at 5:30 am on wednesday to catch a 7:00 bus to NYC, I will most definitely look like shit from lack of sleep and be in a frazzled tizzy and sweaty (no doubt).  If I get a response and can come later in the week, it's kismet, if not, fuck it.  I'm working on my novel now and hope to get it published (call me naive, call me stupid... I think it will sell).  Now I'm off to work at shitty Macehole's where I will be anxiously awaiting another email and hating life for 9 hours.
