I’ve been life modelling for a few years now, and I’ve had the privilege of working with a variety of clients, from art students to corporate groups. However, my first hen party gig was a truly memorable experience that took me out of my comfort zone and pushed me to grow as a model.
A fellow life model friend of mine had fallen ill and couldn’t make a booked hen party. Knowing my interest in life modelling, he asked if I could step in. Initially, I was a bit nervous. I’m not exactly what you’d call a “chiseled” physique. I’m a regular guy, and I worried that the hen party would expect a more traditional, “stripper-esque” figure.
But as the day of the gig approached, I decided to embrace the challenge. I arrived at the venue, met the tutor, and quickly felt reassured. The tutor was experienced and friendly, and she helped me to relax and prepare for the session.
When the hen party arrived, the atmosphere was electric. The hen-to-be was clearly excited, and her friends were eager to have some fun. I was nervous, but I also felt a sense of anticipation. As soon as I stepped out in my robe, the hen burst into laughter, breaking the ice and setting a lighthearted tone for the rest of the session.
The session was a huge success. We played games, laughed, and created some fantastic artwork. The hen party was a great group of women, and they were all very supportive and appreciative of my efforts.
That first hen party gig was a turning point for me. It showed me that life modelling can be a fun and rewarding experience, even in unconventional settings. I’ve since gone on to model for many more hen parties and stag dos, and I’ve even started tutoring other aspiring life models.
In my next post, I’ll share the story of my most memorable hen party gig, a wild and exciting day that involved a footballer’s wife and 18 of her closest friends. Stay tuned!
