If I can make it there - The art school nude model in NYC

Time Out NY tackled the not-so-fast-paced, not-so-glamorous wage-craft of the Art School nude model. It's only NSFW if you get click-happy with the accompanying galleries as you review this important sociological topic. I like this observation about studio space:

Time Out New York: What was your first modeling experience?
Laura Noble: I was going to Rhode Island School of Design for illustration. A friend told me that she modeled for an artist who hired three models a day, five days a week. I needed the money. The other girls warned me that it was in his musty basement. It wasn’t really a bad experience, but one should generally avoid musty basements.

Wisdom for the ages, I'd say.
