Double Exposure - 
by copygodd
The last two episodes of 8th and Ocean have been great. Could MTV pull off the hat-trick and give us three in a row? Does EdHill know how to use spell-check? That's right, last night's episode was sub-par at best. No rampant whoring, no gratuitous male mascara, not even a single shot of Vinci! Instead we get to watch two careers going in different directions: Britt's is just starting to take off, while Tracie's is going down the shitter.
The way the producers showcased the two models was weird, though, since both castings focused on the girls naughty bits. Why was it a good career move for Britt to suck on ice cubes whilst undergoing a PAP smear, but a bad career move for Tracie to model a bandolier full of energy drink cans? Guess that's why I'm not in the modeling business. Although if you're reading this, Irene Marie, and you ever find a client needing a firm set of bitch-tits, I'm your man.
This week starts off with Tracie hanging up the phone. And boy, is she pissed! Did she lose another loan to Ditech? No, silly, she lost another job to age discrimination. She was booked to shoot an eight-page editorial plus cover in Miami, but the shoot changed locations to New York, and now they don't want her. I'm really surprised the client didn't pay to fly Tracie up there. Surely she qualifies for an AARP discount.
After this bit-o-drama, we're treated to the offeeshal 8th and Ocean theme song, as performed by The Afters. I gotta say, as much as I hated this song for the first six or seven weeks, lately it's been growing on me. And not just because of the relentless pimping by the band's A&R person. Really, I liken it to more of a fungal infection. Fortunately, it's nothing the song stylings of Maynard James Keenan can't clear up.
Irene Marie is calling Britt to tell her she's been booked for a cover try and an eight-to-ten page editorial. Why is Iron Maiden doing grunt work? I guess she doesn’t trust the Lazy Susan to make booking calls any longer. (All props to B-Side for the Lazy Susan moniker.) According to the Iron One it's a very exciting moment and a great break for Britt. After all, it's not every day a magazine wants to feature the Bride of Christ in a swimsuit spread.
What Would Jesus Wear? Not this.
Speaking of which, the gold swimsuit picked by the designer is hideous. With a capital H-I-D. While Britt is changing, Indashio (the designer) asks Irene about Britt's background, and seems a bit taken aback to learn her dad's a preacher. He says the fashion industry is one of the wildest industries there is, and he can't wait to see her face when she comes out in that gold monstrosity. It's just too bad she's not coming out.
