Model Sightings

While jogging along 9th and 26th today, I felt as if I had happened upon a model shoot. At least 20 tall, svelte, well-dressed girls were casually sauntering the streets around me. Not only did their average 5'9 stature set them apart, but also their assertive gracefulness of step. With prefect sun lit hair and flawless skin, they looked too put together, even for New York.

What's going on, I wondered? It wasn't a sorority gathering. Everyone walked separately and floated ethereally.

Then it dawned on me, these girls were students at the Fashion Institute of Technology on 26th and 7/8th Ave. The fashionable clothing, the confident strides, it suddenly all made sense.

**Conclusion: best model sighting location in NYC, and probably the world = corners of FIT**
