  1. Those sideburns ...very much of that period. I hope he was well paid, hanging on that rope for hours.

    1. I've read that modeling paid better than the manual labor thst a lot of the models typically did. Some of them were in demand and made a living modeling over a span of years.

    2. Any idea how much? I make £25 an hour.

    3. No one mentioned the pay scale, other than to say it was well above the usual labor rate. It would be tempting to jump in and say the work was easier, but I know that with some poses that would not necessarily be the case.
