Self-aggrandizing

After that silly fashion show last weekend and modeling for a friend's school project, I think I found some self esteem.  For once, I like being photographed (maybe a little too much).  More to the point, I like being part of an artistic project.  I'm not particularly good creating visual art myself, so the next best thing is being part of the arrangement, no?  So... the question is: How does one become an alt model without resorting to Suicide Girls?  (SG stipulates that you have to be nude for approximately 60% of photos in a set, and I'm not comfortable with that.)  Anyone have any suggestions?

In other news, I can't decide whether to get my next tattoo on my right or left leg.  It'll be this design (assuming I get permission from the artist), elongated and wrapped around my thigh like a garter.  Does it even matter?  Am I overthinking things again?
