In this day and age, there is tremendous pressure to conform to standards. To support fashionista standarization efforts, we're going to need a whole army of inspectors. We call them "model checkers"...

Model Checker

Copyright 2006, David and Thomas Ball

 

 

Her mini-skirt is a little long.
His color combination is all wrong.
Their makeup is about to run,
And this fashion show has just begun.

CHORUS:
Model checker,
Working night and day.
Searching for a flaw,
Without pay.

Tireless seeker
of a fantasy
In a state approaching
ecstasy.

There's no logic to account
for the time I spend.
Will I ever make progress
in this quest that never ends?

While they're strutting on the runway,
I'm invisible, behind the scenes.
Glamour just isn't gorgeous
without a touch of the obscene.

Is the product up to spec?
Can I accept or must I reject?
Total perfection is my goal
A formula for fashion from pole to pole.
