New House Legislation Introduced to Expedite Supermodel Green Cards

Alessandraambrosio3

Just in, today's Washington Post Style section "Reliable Source" feature by Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts which brings the news that U.S. House of Representatives members Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) have co–sponsored a bill — HR 4354, introduced last month — to expedite the entrance of foreign fashion models into the U.S.

The bill is an attempt to remedy an apparent supermodel shortage that has caused American modeling agencies to lose business to those in other countries.

Who knew?

Wait till Weiner's constituents, walking back and forth to work across Manhattan's bridges this week in response to the city's transit strike, find out what he's really focused on.

Here's the Post story.

    Spice in the Melting Pot

    Because there aren't enough gorgeous glamazons on these shores already, Reps. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) have co-sponsored a very special bill for supermodels.

    Introduced last month, HR 4354 would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish a separate, nonimmigrant classification for fashion models — in short, make it easier for beauties from Brazil, Russia, the Czech Republic and other far-flung locales to strut their skinny little butts on our runways.

    Weiner, a 41-year-old bachelor, says he's trying to end a shortage that makes American modeling agencies lose business internationally.

    What a guy!

No problem, clifyt. Just go take a Hansgrohe Downpour Air Rainmaker 24" Shower and join us again after you've calmed down some. ;)

Ahhh...what I wouldn't give to be the one to get my hands on Alessandras green card.

Good taste once again...

Though I think the law should include the fact that their ages should always remain a secret so us dirty old men never realize we are lusting after a teenager (I think she was like 16 when she started victorias secret).

Oh wait, this is getting past the 2.0 ideals...sorry...

Would make for interesting Immigrations interactions at the airport.

"No, sorry, you're not pretty enough to be a supermodel, you can't come in"

"Is that a wrinkle I see? I'm sorry, this visa has been revoked"
