Another Trump and women story

Last edited Mon Mar 12, 2018, 06:42 PM - Edit history (1)

This morning, I met a good friend of my fiancées for the first time. She’s a lovely, intelligent lady who had a successful modeling career during the 1990s.

Her agency would often send her and other models to social events and parties in NYC to “people” the events. The agency had a list of prominent men that the women should avoid at all cost because they had sexually assaulted women. Trump’s name was first on the list.

1. Do you know the agency? Because few would do that. Im guessing Ford or Bethann Harrisons

But I'll bet you're right. I briefly dated a model/Miss America contestant in the 1980s and she was repped by Ford. I recall that they treated her very respectfully and she loved her work.

5. Yeah, when they had young inexperienced models Ford looked out for them closely....

Other agencies would send them out to party with the wolves, like Melania. Some are glorified escort services.
I accidentally went to a party at a soft core porn agency studio- one of my classmates was a model for them. I knew it wasn’t high fashion (it was more like those naughty nudie greeting cards and calendars) but damn- Ron Jeremy started following me around, LOL.

Eew!

I guess he was the mental stand-in for far too many men's sexual fantasies.

Ugh, he's so gross! I'm confident you escaped unscathed!

Was another room or area behind curtains where people were.... well I hope it was only coke, but I’m not sure? I was so glad the semester was over and I didn’t even have to talk about it with my classmates, LOL. So gross.

I've lived in NYC since the mid-1970's and have always hated Trump. He's an ignorant pig and I've never understood how anyone could take him seriously.
