Noah got scouted by a modeling agent! I totally swear to you! We were walking in Umeda and were coming from lunch and heading to the Hankyu and some woman saw Noah (Branden was dead asleep in the stroller) and she looked startled! Honestly, we get lot's of attention for our kids. So I didn't even pay attention to her and we barely even noticed it but she motioned her surprise, with her hands in a Home Alone, type hands on face type look, that is why we even noticed it. She actually was heading the opposite direction and yet she must have made tracks to catch up with us, because she tapped Noboru on the shoulder and we stopped and turned around.
She said, honestly she couldn't believe he looks *that* good. She said he was gorgeous and kakkoii. She said she happens to be a top modeling agent and was on her way home. She opened her purse and found a card. You could tell, by her surprise she was *NOT* expecting to see Noah that day! She gave us her card! She told us she would like to use Noah is a commercial right away!
And that he can get tons of work. She looked him over and touched his skin, said he has the absolute whitest skin ever (not quite sure what this means and if this is a good thing?) and said he has the perfect head shape (err this caught me as a weird thing to say) and said he has the perfect look they are looking for and said he has big beautiful western eyes with just the tinyiest itty bittiest touch of Asian in them to still appeal to the market in Japan! But she told Noboru, he is the *ideal* look they are looking for. She was so certain. She told us, that many people come to her modeling agency *asking* for their kids to be models and she has to turn them down. But she said, she is actually *asking us*.
Noboru told her, we don't live in Osaka though. She said where do you live, America? He said no Chiba. She said well you are in luck our main headquarters is in Tokyo anyway! She said he could make a lot of money and his face could wind up many places!
Please understand, yes we think our kids are cute, but then *all* parents think their kids are cute, ykwim? So knowing this, please understand how shocked we were to be actually scouted by a top modeling agent, just while walking down the street. She then kept looking at Noah's facial features and pushed one step harder and asked for Noboru's cell phone number. He gave it to her. He told Mitsuko and she took it with a grain of salt, but when she asked to see the card, she was surprised. I guess she told Noboru, yes that really is the top modeling agency! The agent then told us she is going to call us within the next week for sure! She took down Noah's full name and Noboru saw her write something next to Noah's name and his keitai, he said, she wrote "he looks like a doll"
We aren't sure if we want to do this or not. But anyway that's what happened with Noah.
