two-twenty

and it would have worked if it weren't for you meddling kids

Trae Lindley, PH's Arkansan boytoy, started his new year by meeting with modelling agencies including IMG and Elite in New York, reports US Weekly.

Having just watched our latest TiVo'd episode of The Simple Life, two-twenty is puzzled. How do boys with fashionably mod hair, names like "Trae", and all of their teeth end up in bumfuck AK? We suspect that some enterprising Altus mom heard about the show, saw her opportunity, proceeded to buy up some fashion magazines and rent Zoolander, and faster than you can say Hugo Boss transmogrified her son into a model. Sort of a postmodern twist on those creepy moms who parade their children to kiddie beauty pageants and provide us city slickers with modern-day cautionary tales like the JonBenet Ramsey story. Seriously, though, doesn't the kid kinda look like he was modelled (npi) after Owen Wilson's Hansel?

Thank you, google, for the unexpected trashy treats that you provide.
