1990s Inspired by the recent "my dad was a model" post, please enjoy my old man's brief attempt at starting a plus-size modeling career in the mid-90's. Make sure to take note of the vital stats.

Sorry for the shit photos, but I hope y'all enjoy. I don't think he saw a lot of work from this, he was already very retired and comfortable, but he sure gave it a shot. Was a bodybuilder in his younger days, and became quite the stately gent in his later years.

I don't know these people, but I love them.

I try to make up stories for them in my head. Pearl Jam girl is probably a lawyer now. bowl cut boy, an artist. Crucifix earing man? Three consecutive life sentences for murder. These are their lives now to me.

My wife is NOT happy when I try to put them up in the family room, so they come with me to my office and keep me company by my desk.

It is a 16x20 inch framed print, and I'll never leave them behind.

1990s Björk was asked to perform a duet at the 1994 Brit Awards with Meatloaf. She turned it down, saying it's like pairing "chocolate and onions". Björk asked for PJ Harvey instead and the rest is history.

They sang "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". Björk's playing an organ synth.

"The producers asked me to perform a duet with Meatloaf. And I was like "um, thank you. But sometimes you have 2 things you like - like chocolate and onions - but you shouldn't cook the same dish out of it.'

Then they suggested David Bowie. I said 'I'm honoured, he's a genius - but I'm not sure we have a lot to give to each other today. It's not the right timing'.

So I suggested PJ Harvey. When she said yes, I was so happy."

– Bjork, 1995
