I wanna wanna be a male model

This is a guest post by Robert Pitt

John Wight, the pin-up of Socialist Unity and the Scottish Palestinian Solidarity Campaign has launched a new career as a male model, signing with Edinburgh’s Stolen Agency.

Stolen welcomed John to their stable, saying:

“With years of acting and modeling experience, John has worked on many films and television commercials In America and Scotland. John has worked on campaigns with clients such as Kronenbourg, Diageo. Tesco, Disney and Toys R Us.”

On his web page at Stolen, lantern-jawed John shows us how the wide range of his talents will tempt the marketing departments of multi-national corporations. From a smooth, denim-clad hunk awaiting a rendezvous under a canal bridge…

… through Milk-Tray-Man to the Barbour jacket and tweed cap of the landed gentry…

John is ready to sell beer, groceries, movies and toys to a waiting global market. But he won’t let all that exposure cut him from his roots.

This  6′2” hunk of a man, carrying 215 lbs of lean muscle, can frequently be seen jogging or riding a mountain bike around Arthur’s Seat in his home town of Edinburgh.

He can now add modeling to his already established talents of writing screenplays and fiction such as A Cold Experience and Brentwood, tales of sordid and ultimately unsatisfactory, anonymous sexual liaisons.

I am sure that we would all like to wish John success in his new career.

He is rather handsome.

I’d do him.

I’ve done him.

This has got to be the most bizzare post ever at Harry’s Place.

Having clicked on the links I know get ‘Julie from Brentwood’s’ comment.

Julie, was that in the car park of the night club he used to bounce at?

Shouldn’t Alec M have his head shaved and be tarred n feathered!
I thought Wight was an academic of some sort – widely disliked in his employing institution I heard too.

Looks like he’ll be modelling for Minoxidil soon!

I’ll bet he has an “understanding” wife.

David T

Perhaps he blames the “Zionists” who run Hollywood for stealing his hair, thus destroying his acting career.

Joanne

Look at it this way: He’ll do a lot less harm as a model than as a political activist.

Indeed, we should all wish him well in his new career.

Wight is so hot right now.

David T

I suspect that he has limited interest in selling costume jewelry to Her Maj.

I too have never heard of this chap and can’t say I’m particularly interested in either his poltical or modelling activities. I recall a much nicer pic of a Danish actress (or “actor”, as the Guardian would say) posted her, Ithink by David T, in full-on Norman Johnson mode, as some kind of expression of solidarity with Denmark. Any chance of a rerun of that as a supplement to this post, if it’s Harry’s Place Fashion Supplement Day.

Ready to serve wherever models with receding hairlines and moobs are needed.

Scumbag. By next year he’ll be a bald scumbag.

Gene

Do you think he investigates prospective employers for Zionist influence before taking gigs?

I wonder if his lack of success in Hollywood was due to, well, you know…

Django    
  18 October 2009, 9:42 pm

He’s not as handsome as David T (who my wife informed me was *very* attractive).

David T    
  18 October 2009, 10:11 pm

Yes but I have a foolishly large head, as somebody else pointed out.

Ana

I’ve heard him mentioned, but its nice to put a receding hairline to the name. I really wouldn’t. I only do Zionists.

Israelinurse

Wouldn’t touch him with a bargepole; too wimpishly contrived and over-manicured looking, not to mention the wrong politics.
Btw, David T, if you ever get bored with lawyering in my opinion you could make a really good stunt double for Elliot Gould.

David T    
  18 October 2009, 11:35 pm

This has been said

(By my wife)

The fiction is just…

Well, all I can say is – this man is truly Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda!

Which one?

Well, the night comes to a close with Harry’s Place solving yet another domestic problem: I’m off to bed in my Elliot Gould mask to satisfy my wife’s David T fantasy! Sorted.

surely modeling is incompatible with socialism along with anything related to companies, sales or marketing?

Given his politics I expected him to look a bit more Aryan.

So that’s what Bob Pitt has been doing!

Advertising for his Web sites have disappeared from the Saturday Morning Star this week, after being there for years and years.

We wondered why.

Flaming Fairy

Yep, I would.

Twice, if he asked nicely.

Oo no, he has funny eyes.

Reminds me of Derek Hatton.

He was “left wing” as well.

Now he’s a property developer millionaire.

The Palestinian crap is just an expected posture.

Like the Miss Worlds who all want to work for World Peace

“Those stories are shite. Sixth form shite.”

Thank you. Interesting use of the words “sixth form” as an English derogative, especially when combined with the Edinburgh “shite”.

Crikey. The one of him in the quilted jacket, I think that was in my latest Damart catalogue. Such a vicious man and he’s prancing around narcisscistitically. (Don’t worry about your big head (which you claim to have David T), just tell everyone that you need it that size to know all that you know (and you know a lot!).)

John Wight really is a very nasty man. He reminds me of a hydra-headed monster who always manages to reappear and leave a wretched stench in its wake.

No! No! Not Eliot Gould! David T is much better looking. You can’t compare David T, George Clooney and (the young) Robert de Niro; they’re incomparable.

Receding hairlines can be very fetching.

After reading the John White stories above he has lost half his glamour. I was looking for what others call sleaze, but found flat realism. The kissing and f-ing is neutral.
