He wasn’t a real model. He just played one in front of his bathroom mirror. “Mirror mirror on the wall who’s the …”

That's his body double. The one that climbed Everest in a blizzard.

For some reason, Robyn is evincing in this post a disinclination to believe anything George Santos says.

I'm going with Occam's Razor, Robyn.

Wasn't there recently a doc (streaming, cable, Vice?) about male and female models (mostly high-end) being sexually harassed? Like it's endemic in the industry (like any industry that preys on young, inexperienced, good-looking kids).

I think he ran across this documentary and saw a way to be get his name out there, be relevant again.

The pics are probably from some earlier scam.

I did a "mannequin model" thing at sears in the 80s. It was fun bc of how people reacted when they noticed you were real. Not sure how that sold clothes tho.

I was wondering where he’d gone. So, what’s he up to now? Is he leading DARPA’s Inter-Agency Task Force on Foundational Requirements for Causal AI? Is he working on opening a new Michelin three-star restaurant in San Antonio? Is he working the night smooth jazz shift at WKRP? Where in Kitara Ravanche’s name is George Santos?

“Young me did something called ‘looks modeling,’” he wrote on social media. “Age 18 in these. Fun times, but looking back I can say I was being constantly sexually harassed and I didn’t realize it. I was naive and young and didn’t see malice in any of it. Now when I look back it haunts me and I wish I could remember all of the peoples names and faces."

Oh, who needs memory, why not just make them up? It's kinda your thing.

Georgie, Georgie, Georgie... I have roughly 50 photos like this of myself and Mr Cakes from ~2005. These are not "looks modelling", these are a photo shoot, paid for by yourself or your family, in which you wear your own clothes, maybe have your hair and make-up done by an on-site stylist, and then get charged a fortune for a CD full of edited photos.

Nice try.

Honestly disappointed that the modeling thing didn't work out for him, because then he would have just been a moderately-successful has been today and not a corrupt former elected official.

In-store modeling? That was on its way out in MY day even in upscale shops. We did it once in a rare while for special customers (some women, often foreign) did not want to try cloths on preferring to see what they liked and have it altered to fit.

Who cares? I can’t wait for this grifter to get convicted and go away forever.
