What won't I do to promote my writing?

I am off to the city for my first and very likely last photo shoot as a leg model. I've contributed an essay to an anthology of women writing about life in their 40s (so I had to extrapolate forward, in that I'm still 27.) Anyway the cover will feature some feminine legs in kicky shoes and aside from the two professional 20-something models on the shoot, they wanted one regular person. So yes, mine will be the varicose-veined legs scarred from hours walking through the Oakland Hills with the dog, reaching out to the plus sized and/or over 40 readers.

Sigh.

The argument that finally won me over to participate? "If it's really bad, you could probably write an essay about it." Gets me every time.
