Magazine editors do much more than wrestle nouns and verbs. Sometimes we're called upon to utilize our physical assets rather than our mental assets.
Yesterday, after editing a humorous article about Dumpster diving for gardeners that arrived without illustrations or photography, I was selected to Dumpster dive while the magazine's publisher took photographs to accompany the article.
So, there I was around mid-day, head down in a Dumpster, my backside pointed skyward and my legs a kickin', hoping I wouldn't fall in before the editor could get a usable shot.
He took the shot, I didn't fall in, and the selected photo will appear in the July/August issue of Texas Gardener.
And, let me tell you, being a model isn't all its cracked up to be.

Could have been worse. Could have been my backside. That would require a two page photospread.
This sounds like Rule 34 waiting to happen. Google it, but carefully.
This post is worthless without pics!
Kevin, I really didn't need that image in my mind.
Graham, Ewww.
Brian, If I give it away today, who's going to pay to see it when the magazine hits the newsstands?
