From Wrong Way to Runway
Move over Jeremy Meeks. There is another Prison Bae on the scene. The term "Prison Bae" is a real life career move now. 20 year old Mekhi Alante Lucky recently landed a modeling contract after being scouted by. It's clear to see that Lucky has a rather unique look. He was born with one blue eye and the other, brown. It is a genetic condition called heterochromia. An Atlanta based modeling Agency, St. Claire Modeling, found him to be a rare find. They flew him from his home in North Carolina, to do test shots, and from there we have another model.
Are these modeling agencies going way to far by scouting mugshots, to find models? Or is it all fair play? At any rate, opportunities seem to be everywhere these days. Some say that social media is the death of society but many people have found immediate fame from these platforms. People like Jeremy Meeks and Mekhi Lucky, who, more than likely, had no profound interest in modeling are now requested models. The part that sends a bad message to the youth is that you too, can commit crimes and take a sickening mugshot and become the next big thing. At any rate, I wont be a hater, I congratulate anyone who's willing to change their life for the better. Next month you can catch Mr. Lucky on the runways of New York Fashion Week.
