My brother and I like to play this game. As I flip through Vogue or any other fashion magazine, for that matter, I ‘ll point to a model and he has to tell me if he thinks she’s hot or not. It’s partially my way of remembering different models names and partially a way to make myself feel better— it always feels good to know that not every guy fawns over all models.
